Role Description

The WIC is used to sends settings and software deployment information to Micosoft Intune and retrieves inventory messages from mobile devices. The Intune service acts as a gateway that communicates with mobile devices. This role is mandatory if you’re planning to manage mobile devices using SCCM with Intune integration.

Important : Before you can add the WIC, you must create a Windows Intune subscription and add it to SCCM.

Site System Role Placement in Hierarchy

The WIC is a hierarchy-wide option. SCCM supports a single instance of this site system role in a hierarchy and only at the top-level site. Install it on your Central Administration Site or stand-alone Primary Site depending of your design.
