When you deploy environment variables via Microsoft Intune, your changes will not take effect immediately. Devices in the selected Microsoft Entra ID groups will sync automatically over a period (generally 30 minutes); you can also manually sync all the devices in the chosen groups via Bulk Device Actions or restart your computer to implement your changes immediately. If you deploy environment variables via Microsoft Intune to a device where CDM is already running, you must restart CDM on that device for your changes to take effect.
