  • Windows Security baseline has not been updated for a long time. When will an updated Windows 10/11 security baseline be released?

      Hi Panu! Thanks for your feedback. There's kind of a long answer for this. The primary reason for the prolonged update cycle in Intune stems from a combination of factors, including a one-time internal dependency on a separate team within Microsoft whose fix has an ongoing deployment, the complexity of integrating new settings on the new unified settings platform, and a thorough testing process to guarantee the reliability and stability of the baselines. The aforementioned fix was deployed for the Edge baseline which is why it was finally updated in Intune after a long stretch of no updates (btw, the latest update for the Edge baseline in Intune will be released in two weeks!!). Although the fix has yet to be deployed for the Windows baseline, it is ~80% complete and we are currently in testing/validating phases. The fix is taking particularly longer to validate for the Windows baseline due to the vast amount of settings (100+). We are committed to maintaining the integrity of our service and ensuring that any changes we implement meet the stringent standards required for enterprise-grade solutions. I understand that your teams require the latest features and security enhancements promptly and I can assure you we are not minimizing the importance and urgency of this. As we update these baselines, the good news is that the new infrastructure based on the unified settings platform will significantly reduce the turnaround time for baseline updates. These updates will not only improve the speed of delivery but also enhance the overall performance and functionality of the Intune baselines. We value your feedback, and it is instrumental in driving our commitment to continuous improvement. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we are dedicated to providing you with a more seamless and efficient experience within Intune!

        Thank you Julia, are the upcoming changes to the Security Baselines documented anywhere? It will be helpful for me to show my clients as they look to implement these in the near term. Thank you.

        Steve these new baselines are published in admx format and currently there is a limit of importing only 10 ADMX in tenant. so does Microsoft has any plan to increase this limit ?
