In an environment where an EDR Policy is configured to onboard devices, the policy reports success in Intune for all scoped devices. However, some devices have been successfully onboarded to MDE, while others continue to show an onboarding status of 'can be onboarded' in MDE. This status has persisted for an extended period.

    @Usman Abdullahi, Thanks for posting in Q&A.

    From your description, I know you have configured an EDR policy to onboard devices but some of devices not onboard to MDE and show an onboarding status of 'can be onboarded' in MDE

    Here is a link you can refer to troubleshoot onboarding issues.

    Also, there are some pre-requirements you need to check if you meet and this issue can be related to License, please also check if the necessary licenses were assigned to the device.
