Create a filter for Cloud PCs

  • Article

You can create a filter to use when creating Intune policies and configurations. The filter you create can target all or some Cloud PCs, depending on the rules you configure. You can also use the filter that you create to exclude Cloud PCs from existing policies that are intended for physical devices only. There are three different categories of filters you can create for Cloud PCs:

Create a filter for all Cloud PCs

In these steps, you’ll use the Model device property to create the filter.

  1. Sign in to the Microsoft Intune admin center > Tenant Administration > Filters > Managed devices.
  2. Select Create, then enter the following:
    1. Filter name = "All Cloud PCs" (or some other name indicating it will contain all Cloud PCs)
    2. Description = "A filter containing all Cloud PC devices"
    3. Platform = "Windows 10 and later"
  3. On the Rules page, enter the following:
    1. Property = "model (Model)"
    2. Operator = "Contains"
    3. Value = "Cloud PC". To create a filter for all GPU Cloud PCs, choose "GPU". To create a filter for Frontline Cloud PCs, select "Cloud PC Frontline".
  4. To validate that it works, select Preview.
  5. On the Scope tags page, select any desired scope tags to apply, then select Next.
  6. On the Review + create page, select Create.

Create a filter for all Cloud PCs from a specific provisioning policy

For the example below, we use "UX Engineering" as the name of the provisioning policy. Anywhere you see "UX Engineering" replace it with the name of your provisioning policy.

In these steps, you’ll use the Enrollment Profile Name and Device Model device property to create the filter.

  1. Sign in to the Microsoft Intune admin center > Tenant Administration > Filters.
  2. Select Create, then enter the following:
    1. Filter name = "All UX Engineering Cloud PC devices"
    2. Description = "A filter containing all UX Engineering Cloud PC devices"
    3. Platform = "Windows 10 and later"
    4. Select Next.
  3. On the Rules page, enter the following:
    1. Property = "enrollmentProfileName (Enrollment profile name)"
    2. Operator = "Equals"
    3. Value = "UX Engineering"
  4. To validate that it works, select Preview.
  5. On the Scope tags page, select any desired scope tags to apply, then select Next.
  6. On the Review + create page, select Create.

Create a filter for all Cloud PCs with a specific configuration

For the example below, we use 2 vCPU and 4 GB RAM as the configuration. Anywhere you see "2vCPU/4GB" replace it with the desired configuration. You can also target a specific Cloud PC size by adding the OS storage as part of the configuration. You can follow the below steps and create a filter for any of the configurations that make up Cloud PC sizes.

In these steps, you'll use the Model device property to create the filter.

  1. Sign in to the Microsoft Intune admin center > Tenant Administration > Filters.
  2. Select Create > Managed devices, then enter the following:
    1. Filter name = "All 2vCPU/4GB RAM Cloud PCs"
    2. Description = "A filter containing all Cloud PCs with the 2vCPU/4GB RAM configuration"
    3. Platform = "Windows 10 and later"
    4. Select Next.
  3. On the Rules page, enter the following:
    1. Property = "model (Model)"
    2. Operator = "Contains"
    3. Value = "2vCPU/4GB"
  4. To validate that it works, select Preview.
  5. On the Scope tags page, select any desired scope tags to apply, then select Next.
  6. On the Review + create page, select Create.

After you've created the filter, you can use the filter in the assignment page in supported policies.
