Windows Information Protection & the Windows Home edition conundrum

There doesn't seem to be a full answer to this problem, so I'm sounding it out here in case anyone has any bright ideas.   The crux of the problem, is that there's no "Edition" filter that we can...

Hi Dominique,

 

but what happens when the user skips the device registration?

 

say if he chooses to use 'this app only' as below:

 

in this case win home will bypass the WIP policy.

 

I'm wondering if there a way to enforce the WIP policy on windows home?

 

it's also mentioned here: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/890ed582-6b11-4c0c-bdff-580867a1fec2/wipwe-and-conditional-access?forum=microsoftintuneprod

 

 

Regards,

 

Stan

Hi Stan Netesanny 

 

Did you ever find a method to ensure that the Intune Company Portal was installed and WIP in place on home edition clients?

 

I know this is quite an old thread but currently this is the closest I have found to my question.

 

Thanks

    richochet If you're trying to block access from non-compliant devices (ie. ones not following WIP policies), you can use Conditional Access. CA will deny access to company resources at the cloud level - making it independent of the device used. Whether the device is compliant with your policies is only one criterion - there are many more, too. So for an environment where company-owned Windows Pro isn't the global standard, CA is probably the best approach IMHO. CA is included in M365BP, M365E3 and E5.
