• Once you meet all the pre-requisites for the IMDV2 / IMDV4 / IMDV5, the final command-line argument for Microsoft Intunes will be of the following format:

TOKENV2='<enter_token_here>' SERVERLIST="cloud.druva.com:443"

The logs will be created in Applications and Services logs > Microsoft > Windows > Bits-Client > Operational. Event ID 3 is generated for download stats.
