Compare device compliance policy settings in Microsoft 365 Lighthouse

Microsoft 365 Lighthouse lets you view compliance policies across your tenants in a single view. You can drive security and standardization across your tenants by comparing policies. You can filter views to see settings that have been configured (versus settings that were left not configured), settings that differ in their configurations, or settings that match. You can also search for specific settings to see how they compare across policies.

Before you begin

Make sure devices have a Microsoft Intune license and are enrolled in Microsoft Intune.

Compare policy settings

  1. In the left navigation pane in Lighthouse, select Devices > Device compliance.

  2. Select the Policies tab.

  3. From the Filters dropdown list, select an operating system or platform.

    Note

    You can only compare policies with the same operating system or platform.

  4. From the filtered list, select up to three policies that you want to compare.

  5. Select Compare.

You can filter the results to see Settings that differ, Settings that match, or Configured settings.

Configure a policy setting

  1. In the left navigation pane in Lighthouse, select Devices > Device compliance.

  2. Select the Policies tab.

  3. From the list of policies, select the policy that you want to view.

  4. In the policy details pane, select View this policy in Microsoft Endpoint Manager.

  5. In the Microsoft Intune admin center, edit the policy settings as needed.
