One more thing: I understand you are moving away from Company Portal because it is not needed anymore for device registration and compliance check, but CP still has some important features like publishing corporate apps in available state, sending custom notifications and log sharing.
Until there are no alternatives for these additional features (and web version of CP does not provide push notification or log collection), I do not understand why you remove the automatic installation and background configuration of CP from the new enrolment policies.
And why we have to set this up manually?
(Now we do not have to send separate configuration for CP.)

MicrosoftHi hgjoe, that's correct that the Company Portal app is no longer needed for ADE, and the Company Portal website (optional) with JIT registration and compliance should be used instead for a more secure, seamless, and quick provisioning experience. If you still need to use the Company Portal app, that is ok and can be configured manually to replicate the same experience as before. With this change, customers will be able to have the Company Portal app auto-update, allowing for more granular targeted admin control sending down the Company Portal app if they choose to.
What other issues exactly are you referring to? Do you have a list of these issues that we currently have as a result of the automatic deployment?
With this new method, How does a user access apps that were published as 'Available' which would normally show up in the company portal? Is there a way for users to access the 'Available' apps without the company portal app?

Hi smerleboces, the app availability is the same between the app and the Company Portal website and available apps will appear in the apps tab. The Company Portal can still be pushed as a required app that comes down as part of enrollment if admins choose to do so.
