Microsoft Intune uses Google Mobile Services (GMS) to communicate with the Microsoft Intune company portal when managing Android devices. In some cases, devices may temporarily or permanently not have access to GMS. For example, a device might ship without GMS, or the device may be connecting to a closed network where GMS is not available. This document summarizes the differences and limitations you may observe when installing and using Intune to manage Android devices without GMS.
