There is very little information or guidance when it comes to ending support for Windows Information Protection without enrollment. This was a workable solution for organizations that supported a BYOD scenario with client applications like Microsoft 365. Also worked for those wanting to sync OneDrive for Business files on their personal devices. Although not perfect, WIP filled a gap and has it's purpose. I can think of a number of scenarios to support BYOD in the future (replacing WIP) , but they will raise questions;
- Start enrolling BYOD to Intune and then filter out any policy you don't want for personal devices?
- Or perhaps a better solution like enforcing limited browser only access to corporate resources?
Other questions I have:
- What advice would Microsoft give to those who have WIP without enrollment scenario in place?
- What happens to customers who have WIP without enrollment enabled and don't disable WIP? Will it just stop working?
- You write end of support, but I also read "we’ll also be removing support for WIP without enrollment scenario by the end of calendar year 2022." This gives me the impression that the actual feature is going to be removed from Endpoint Manager and/or Windows by the end of 2022. Can you clarify this?
