Hello,
I was directed here by @AzureSupport.
Do the automatic clean up rules just delete the device record from Intune, or does it issue a retire/wipe command before deleting the record?
I've checked the documentation available in docs.microsoft.com, and cannot find a definitive answer. For example, from docs.microsoft.com /en-us /intune /devices-wipe (Sorry, can't post URLs until my account is verified)
"You can configure Intune to automatically delete devices that appear to be inactive, stale, or unresponsive. These cleanup rules continuously monitor your device inventory so that your device records stay current. Devices deleted in this way are removed from Intune management."
