Event details

Managing Apple devices in the enterprise requires a balance of strong security controls, reliable compliance enforcement, and tools that scale across macOS and iOS fleets. Walk through best practices for applying compliance policies, using “get well” guidance to help devices return to a healthy state, and leveraging Microsoft Defender risk scores to inform access decisions. We'll also dive in to essentials like backup management, Platform SSO deployment, and configuration tips that streamline authentication and reduce support overhead.

    Great stuff.

    When showcasing the PSSO awaitforconfig setup, after reaching "Welcome", a new popup comes up with "Please wait while your software is installed... What feature is this? Could really use it.

      Yes - if a standard solution from MS has been applied I'm curious too, but I think it could be Octory, Baseline or Somesh's example here:

    Any word when Entra PSSO will support group membership (one use case is to assign admin rights based on group membership)? Thank you.

    Is there any statement as of yet to Platform SSO breaking after a few days, and creating duplicate Entra objects?

    Is Intune native machine naming (hardware-linked and/or name template based) coming to macOS any time soon? We use this quite a bit on Windows and would love to have feature parity there on macOS.
