Wrap up: Manage, Configure, and Secure Devices with Microsoft Endpoint Manager Post Day
Thanks to the thousands of people who attended our Post Day! A few housekeeping things ------------------------------------------------- You've asked about the recordings for the event. You should be able to still access the recordings for now by using the AKA links below. It will start Teams Live Events and you can just click Play to watch the whole thing. (and if that doesn't work, let me know!) We're working on the "greatest hits" complication, and we'll post that to the VideoHub when we get that. I'm working on cleaning up the decks for posting - there's some accessibility stuff I need to do - and then I'll attach them to this thread when I have them. We were thrilled with all the great feedback we got about the 24-hour, round-the-world marathon training we offered - and we'd still love more feedback! We've already announced there will be another Microsoft Ignite in March 2021 - should we do this again? If so, what topics should we cover? What should we change (besides the registration process)? Reply here! --------------------------------------------------- The product team for Microsoft Endpoint Manager usually does a pre-day event at Ignite but this year we're doing a post-day event the week after. We'll have two 4-hour Teams Live Events about how to get the most out of Microsoft Endpoint Manager. It's free! When you go to register, you'll see three options for each track to accommodate time zones around the world. Most of the dates are September 29, but depending on your time zone a session may show up on Sept 28 or Sept 30, so check all three dates to be sure. You don't need to take them in order and you can take anything that fits your schedule, even if you need to jump around the options. You'll get a calendar invite for a 4-hour block but here's how the blocks break down. (and I know some of you are getting an error message, so I'm including the direct links to the Teams Live Events down below - as long as you have that link it will connect you to the meeting, but until we start the session it will just sit there and say the meeting hasn't started yet.)

Android 15 - CredentialProviderPolicy not surfaced by Intune
I have been having an issue with Android 15 devices. We use Authenticator as our password autofill provider. As soon as a device is updated from Android 14 to Android 15, the password autofill provider is no longer set and the setting to change it is 'blocked by work policy.' I have already tried removing all policies that apply to the devices (device config and device compliance policies) and factory resetting them. Simply having them enrolled as corporate owned fully managed devices causes this to happen. I raised the issue in the Android Enterprise community blog. A link to that is included below. Someone on that thread found that there is a policy in Android 14/15 called the credentialproviderpolicy. When that policy is blocked or unconfigured, this behavior happens. I cannot find anywhere in Intune where I can set this policy. It seems that it is allowed by default when managing Android 14 with Intune, but not set or blocked when the device switches to Android 15. Is there any way to specifically set a policy that is not reflected in the Intune UI? This is a blocker for being able to move more phones to Android 15.

Request: Manage Apple Vision Pro with Intune MDM
Hi, At our company, some teams are working with Apple Vision Pro because they are hoping to find new technical solutions for the business. We would also like to include Apple Vision Pro in the management of our other mobile devices via Intune MDM. Since Apple has also offered an MDM interface for Apple Vision Pro with the visionOS 1.1 update, the glasses could in principle also be managed by an MDM, but the MDM must also support the glasses. Hence my question: When will this be possible via Intune MDM? As a company, we recently switched to Intune MDM with over 110,000 devices (both mobile devices and fat clients) and we are confident that Microsoft will also support new technical products (such as the Apple Vision Pro).Announcing Windows 10 in Cloud Configuration

Dear Microsoft Intune Friends, Imagine the following situation. You have invested several hours to build your Microsoft Endpoint Manager (Intune) infrastructure. After the final tests, everything is now working exactly as you imagined. Now the question arises how can I backup all these settings and configurations? I will answer this question in this article. Note: I will describe how to compare and restore the backup in a next article. https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-intune/compare-and-restore-a-microsoft-endpoint-manager-intune-backup/m-p/2993736 What we can do in the Microsoft Endpoint Manager portal is export configuration settings to a CSV file. However, this is not exactly what I wanted. To create a complete backup of our tenant we need the power of PowerShell (power of PowerShell - funny ) I used the PowerShell ISE for this configuration. But you are also very welcome to use Visual Studio Code, just as you wish. Please start with the following steps to begin the deployment (the Hashtags are comments): #The first two lines have nothing to do with the configuration, but make some space below in the blue part of the ISE Set-Location Clear-Host #Customize the ExecutionPolicy (absolutely OK for this demo) Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted #Install the Module Install-Module -Name Microsoft.Graph.Intune -Verbose -Force -AllowClobber #Install the Module Install-Module -Name MSGraphFunctions -Verbose -Force -AllowClobber #Import the Module Import-Module -Name MSGraphFunctions #Install the Module Install-Module -Name AzureAD -Verbose -Force -AllowClobber #Install IntuneBackupAndRestore from the PowerShell Gallery Install-Module -Name IntuneBackupAndRestore -Verbose -Force -AllowClobber #Update the Module Update-Module -Name IntuneBackupAndRestore -Verbose #Import the Module Import-Module IntuneBackupAndRestore #Connect to Microsoft Graph Connect-MSGraph Here you must agree to the extended permissions. #Create a folder New-Item -ItemType Directory -Path C:\Backup\IntuneBackup #Switch to the folder Set-Location C:\Backup\IntuneBackup #Create the Full-Backup Start-IntuneBackup -Path 'C:\Backup\IntuneBackup' It starts with the creation of the backup. #Let's look at the content Get-ChildItem -Path 'C:\Backup\IntuneBackup' Let's start Windows Explorer and navigate to our backup folder, Bingo....we have a complete backup! I know that was nothing spectacular, but I still wanted to share my experience with you. Thank you for taking the time to read this article. Kind regards, Tom Wechsler P.S.

==>>A special thanks to Timmy Andersson for the PowerShell script!!<<== Dear Microsoft Intune Friends, In Microsoft Intune, it is possible to work with configuration profiles, among other things. OK, this is nothing new. But which Azure Active Directory groups have been assigned to the configuration profiles? I am confronted with this question again and again.

Hello Tech Community, Our organization is currently deploying a configuration in Microsoft Intune using a Corporate-owned dedicated device enrollment profile. We’ve applied a device restriction policy to configure Samsung tablets in Multi-app Kiosk mode, with Managed Home Screen set as the launcher. Instead of using an app configuration policy, Managed Home Screen is configured through the device restrictions policy. We’ve left the device navigation options unconfigured, which should hide the following UI elements: Android Overview button Android Home button Android App drawer Once all policies and required apps are installed, Managed Home Screen successfully acts as the launcher for end-users to sign in. Overall, this works well; however, we’ve encountered an intermittent issue: After multiple lock/unlock cycles, the navigation bar sometimes reappears, showing the Overview, Home, and App Drawer buttons. This allows users to access background apps that are not exposed through Managed Home Screen, which defeats the kiosk experience. Device details: Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE Android 16, One UI 8.0 Managed Home Screen version: 2.2.0.107721 Has anyone experienced this behavior or have recommendations to prevent these UI elements from reappearing? I’ll gladly provide additional details about our configuration if needed. Thank you!Linux Managed Device Chrome support
Hi, We are in process of On-boarding Linux devices as all other OS'es must pass Conditional Access Managed/Compliant Device check. We are stumbling on a lot (a lot) of user resistance with forcing them on switch to use (only) Edge. Is there any roadmap or date when will Chrome Extension (at least chrome) be available for Linux and Managed device check during sign-in?Outlook for iOS (MAM only Call Identification)
In order of the implementation of O365/M365 and with it Microsoft Intune, Outlook for iOS has become the standard mail client on iOS devices for many customers today. This is due to the excellent user experience and the constant stream of new features implemented by Microsoft. From a security perspective, in addition to the provision on managed devices (managed by Intune), the secure use on unmanaged devices with MAM or App Protection Policies (APP) is a big argument for using Outlook for iOS. Currently, many ouf our customers are working on a BYOD setup for blue collar worker, who typically have a maximum of one email inbox. A big pain point for many users who use Outlook for iOS in an MAM-only setup (and for MDM setup with Intune) is the missing caller identification of Exchange Online (EXO) contacts. Outlook for iOS supports a one-way contact export process whereby contacts from within Outlook for iOS can be exported into the personal (unmanaged) part of the native iOS Contacts app. This means a contact must first be imported into the users personal contacts directory of EXO and then exported from Outlook for iOS to the native (unmanaged) iOS Contact app in order to see who is calling. This functionality enables Caller-ID, iMessage, and FaceTime integration for users’ Outlook contacts. The exported Outlook contacts are considered unmanaged and are accessible by unmanaged, personal apps. Especially for European customers who are subject to GDPR compliance, this is a no go, as personal data and company data must not be mixed. The unintentional outflow of contact data worthy of protection to commercial platforms, such as WhatsApp or Google, and the unintentional synchronization of address books with social media apps, represents a significant GDPR risk. Although the user's personal EXO contacts can be synchronized, there is currently no option to synchronize the GAL. Furthermore, there is currently no provision in Outlook for iOS to synchronize the GAL cyclically. The user has to add a GAL contact to his personal contacts as described above and then within the Outlook for iOS app export the contact to his native iOS contacts app to be able to see who is calling. To meet the GDPR compliance, we need to prevent the contact export. So this is not a solution. The question to ask is: Why does a user need to export a GAL/personal contact to their native iOS Contact app? There are already several paid app solutions that close exactly this gap (ebf Contacts, Secure Contacts, etc.) which offer more or less the same range of functions. The app builds a container and downloads the managed address books (GAL, personal) of the user and then enables the resolution of the CallerID or identification of the caller via the so-called Apple CallKit integration. Apple has been offering the so-called CallKit integration for years. With CallKit you can integrate your calling services with other call-related apps on the system. CallKit provides the calling interface, and you handle the back-end communication with your VoIP service. For incoming and outgoing calls, CallKit displays the same interfaces as the Phone app, giving your app a more native look and feel. CallKit also responds appropriately to system-level behaviors such as Do Not Disturb. In addition to handling calls, you can provide a Call Directory app extension to provide caller ID information and a list of blocked numbers associated with your service. When a phone receives an incoming call, the system first consults the user’s contacts to find a matching phone number. If no match is found, the system then consults your app’s Call Directory extension to find a matching entry to identify the phone number. This is useful for applications that maintain a contact list for a user that’s separate from the system contacts, such as a Outlook for iOS. For example, consider a user who is a colleague to Jane, but doesn’t have her phone number in their contacts. If the Outlook for iOS app has a Call Directory app extension, which downloads and adds the phone numbers of all of the user´s colleagues. When the user gets an incoming call from Jane, the system displays something like “(App Name, e.g. Outlook) Caller ID: Jane Appleseed” rather than “Unknown Caller”. The effort to integrate the Call Directory Extension is minimal and would solve many pain points from both a security and user experience perspective. Apple has documented CallKit excellently on the developer site: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/callkit With the possibility of using Apple CallKit in combination with Outlook for iOS and the contact synchronization (personal/GAL) of a managed EXO mailbox, the use of M365 in a BYOD scenario for customers Blue Collar workers will massively increase. Furthermore, the use of contact synchronization is then also possible for devices managed by Intune. This creates an outstanding user experience while increasing user adoption! This article was also published as feedback in the Outlook Forum for iOS: https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/idea/a80414f4-9598-ed11-a81b-000d3ae32cd0 There are already other requests within the Microsoft community that I would like to link here: PatrickF11 : Outlook for iOS + Caller Identification - Microsoft Community Hub Daniel Huttenlocher: https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/idea/bbfc8763-da97-ed11-a81b-000d3ae32cd0How to deploy a Win-32 app with Microsoft Intune!
Dear Microsoft Intune Friends, Deploying a .msi app is a more or less simple matter in most cases. However, if you need to deploy an .exe app, it gets a bit more complicated. It takes a little art and science to deploy the app. What exactly do I mean by that? Well, an .exe app can't just be uploaded to the Intune portal and then deployed. Before we even get started with Intune, we need to figure out how to install and uninstall the Win32 app. This means we need a machine (identical to the machines you manage with Intune) to perform a test install and uninstall on. The challenge here is that installation and uninstallation are performed "seamlessly", more precisely without interaction of a person. I use Notepad++ as an example in this article. The installation and uninstallation of Notepad++ works something like this: Installation (/S for silent - case sensitive): npp.8.1.5.Installer.exe /S We need the complete program path later in Intune. "C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\notepad++.exe" The uninstallation works like this: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\uninstall.exe" /S (/S for silent - case sensitive) With this knowledge in hand, we can move forward. No, not in Intune but on our local computer. I have already downloaded the executable file for the test installation. We cannot work with the .exe file in Intune, we have to make this Intune compatible. For this we use the Microsoft Win32 Content Prep Tool from Microsoft (Thanks to the Microsoft team). https://github.com/microsoft/Microsoft-Win32-Content-Prep-Tool Now start a command prompt with elevated privileges and navigate to the IntuneWinAppUtil.exe file. Now you need the complete path to your Notepad++ .exe file and a path for the "packaged" Intune version. It may look something like this: IntuneWinAppUtil.exe -c C:\Temp\NotepadPP -s C:\Temp\NotepadPP\npp.8.1.5.Installer.exe -o C:\Temp\NotepadPP_Packed -q -c <setup_folder> Setup folder for all setup files. All files in this folder will be compressed into .intunewin file. Only the setup files for this app should be in this folder. -s <setup_file> Setup file (e.g. setup.exe or setup.msi). -o <output_file> Output folder for the generated .intunewin file. -q is specified, it will be in quiet mode. Now we move on to the Microsoft Endpoint Manager Admin Center. https://endpoint.microsoft.com Navigate to the Apps. Select the platform in my example Windows. Select Add. Select Windows app (Win32). Now locate your "packaged" Notepad++ file. Enter some information about the app (especially the required fields). Now our collected information on installation and uninstallation comes into play. If your app still has special return codes enter them as well. Select operating system and and version, the rest is optional. Now we need to configure the dection rules. We don't want Notepad++ to be installed on a system where Notepad++ is already present. There are no dependencies in my example. This app does not replace any existing app. Now you can specify who should receive this app I choose "All Devices" and "All Users". Navigate to a system in Intune and click Sync. This is simply to force the installation of the app. If you have the possibility to force the synchronization on the physical one, you can check faster if the installation works. Now wait a few minutes and Voila the app is there!!! Sure, that wasn't the huge highlight now. I just wanted to share my experience. I hope this article was useful. Thank you for taking the time to read the article. Best regards, Tom Wechsler P.S.

We recently answered a customer support question regarding kiosk and Windows desktop and figured it would be useful to share the answer here. The customer ran into a scenario where the kiosk profile was successfully deployed through Intune, but the autologin to the Kiosk account was not working as expected. Through the troubleshooting, we discovered the customer was using a VM for testing, which is not supported. While our Windows docs team is updating their documentation to share that kiosk does not support RDP, we also found Michael Niehaus' blog here: https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/mniehaus/2018/06/07/deploying-a-kiosk-using-windows-autopilot/ which calls out that restriction in virtual TPM's.Decks for Endpoint Management Acceleration Day

Android Fully Managed - Backup & Restore
With the requirement to factory reset mobile devices to enroll into Android enterprise (Fully managed), it is becoming increasingly more apparent that a solution to backup data on pre-factory reset devices and then restore said data onto the post-factory reset devices is needed. At the moment it appears that all restore functionality is disabled in the android fully managed solution. We would have previously used Samsung's smart switch application, which is now blocked. An example: - - User currently has a legacy managed device, loaded with photos, messages and configurations. - In order to migrate to Android fully managed, user needs to factory reset phone. - User wants to migrate all data onto the newly managed device post factory reset, however all restore functionality is disabled in a fully managed device. This case example is stopping us from progressing forward with Android fully managed. Any ideas/workarounds would be greatly appreciated? - We have been trialing Samsung cloud but have found this to be relatively unreliable. Thanks in advance!Microsoft #IntuneForMSPs resource guide

Some organizations pursuing a full cloud-native management vision are encountering blockers related to application compatibility, re-packaging, and the scale of existing app estates - all while trying to maintain business continuity, device compliance, and preparing for the AI and Copilot era. To address the complex realities of app migration, the Microsoft partner ecosystem has stepped up with specialized offers designed to reduce risk and accelerate cloud adoption. As part of this initiative our Microsoft partners Rimo3 and Robopack are offering no-cost, time-limited app migration service to all Intune customers who are looking to move from Configuration Manager to Intune. These services can help IT teams automate assessment, package conversion, and remediation for various app types, helping organizations realize the full value of Intune faster and with less disruption Note: These app migration services are offered directly by partners and are subject to their terms. Microsoft makes no guarantees or commitments regarding availability or outcome. Rimo3 helps IT professionals modernize, migrate, and manage applications at enterprise scale. The platform eliminates manual effort by automating packaging, validation, and patch testing. With patented IP, Rimo3 ensures every app is compatible, secure, and visible for dependencies and update readiness before deployment. Automated, unattended workflows reduce migration timelines from months to days, while contextual patch validation minimizes production risk. Rimo3 keeps environments evergreen with zero-touch app management and enhances Microsoft Intune with bulk operations, advanced controls, and unified reporting. Robopack is a cloud-native Intune app lifecycle platform that lets you package, deploy, and keep third-party apps updated, across one or many tenants, with phased control and PowerShell App Deployment Toolkit (PSADT)-based customization. Start with a self-service migration readiness report, mapped to the library of 41,000 pre-packaged, fully documented apps ready to go, or upload your own apps to be analysed and converted. Robopack Radar discovers apps installed across your estate, allowing you to quickly migrate to Intune and uncover Shadow IT.

We recently had this question pop up on twitter (@intunesuppteam) and thought it would be good to answer here since it's not the first time it's been asked. Azure MFA can be set to “required” and enforced on a per user account to require MFA for any authentication. The Azure Portal (https://portal.azure.com) also has an option to require MFA for any admin account - see this discussion https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35559006/enabling-multi-factor-authentication-for-the-azure-portal. Lastly, Conditional Access can be set to require MFA on selected cloud services.Intune Assignment Checker - Get All Assigned Policies, Profiles and Applications
