- Is there anything on the roadmap in terms of device provisioning (similar to Autopilot)?

Welcome to Tech Community Live: Endpoint Manager edition and the Linux Management AMA. Let's get started! Post each question in the Comments. We will be answering questions in the live stream—and others will be answering here in the chat.
- Is it glued to Edge 4 Linux, or is the whole solution browser independent (Chrome, FF)?
- How are the actual release plans? Like a real date or any rescrictions for regions or countries?
- What are real life alternatives today for identifying linux and are they legacy afterwards?
- Are the plans to realy support this as a product, or is just a gimmick some devs made for they geek friends using Linux?

Hey Sebastian -
1. Re: the browser requirement - Right now, Edge is the only Linux browser that is able to access CA-protected resources.
3. I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "identifying Linux", can you give me some more information?
Thank you for possibility to get in touch with you. I have several questions:
- How will users connect to Endpoint Manager? Will it be standalone software, or you will use realmd and smb?
- Which types of Linux will be supported? (Ubuntu, RHEL, CentOS, ArchLinux, etc.)
- How users will be controlled at endpoints? (sudo command, access to certain files (shadow, etc))
- How will be packets controlled at endpoints? (installed packets, actual versions, etc.)
- How will be disk encryption controlled (Like Bitlocker on Windows devices)
- Remote update, installation, removal of packets, will it be possible through endpoint manager
- Will USB be controlled?
- Is it possible to DLP control endpoints on linux machines?

Hey Bogdan -
- There is a standalone Intune agent that will get installed on managed endpoints that will take care of both registering the device with AAD and enrolling the device with Endpoint Manager
- We're starting with Ubuntu LTS releases, but looking to extend to other distributions with help from the community to prioritize!)
With our first release, we'll be focusing on compliance reporting for managed devices. The standard compliance policies include requiring disk encryption, password complexity requirements, and reporting on required distributions / OS version. Additionally, custom compliance scripting will be supporting, allowing you to author compliance checks for any conditions you want to monitor on managed endpoints.
Package management, USB control, sudo config management etc. would all fall under the heading of configuration management, which won't be available at general availability but will be in a future release.
