Join us for a special Ask Microsoft Anything (AMA) live stream on Linux management! We often see questions about managing Linux desktop with Microsoft Endpoint Manager so we're gathering our product experts to help provide answers! We'll also talk about the newest capabilities for managing Linux desktops for configuration and compliance.
This is a great opportunity to learn from Microsoft experts and your peers.

- roger_jrCopper ContributorWill the Linux Device need to be added to Azure AD
- TGCopper ContributorOther than compliance the pieces, will it be possible to run custom scripts on Linux devices out of the gate? I think if nothing else, that would be the biggest thing the most could take advantage of.

Hey Timothy - this was touched on briefly during the call, but custom compliance scripts will be supported as part of general availability, with custom configuration scripts to come in a future release.
- paulolanaCopper ContributorAny integrations with Microsoft DLP features?

Great questions so far. Keep them coming in the Comments.
- rrenstromBrass ContributorAny plans for CMMC compliance evaluation?
- Oleg_LyubinetsCopper ContributorWill there be support full disk encryption?

Hey Oleg - We currently have support for transparent block device encryption via LUKS/dm-crypt. If there are other forms of disk encryption that would be useful, please let us know!
- daveseckerCopper ContributorWill there be any option to lock or wipe a device in the case that it's lost or stolen? Similarly, will there be any option to manage local accounts, e.g. reset pws, create, or disable accts?
- massimilianogoCopper ContributorWhat's the best way to get in contact with you? I am a product manager at Canonical and we are interested in discussing how can we work together to extend Endpoint Manager to other areas of the OS you are not currently covering.
- JhochwaldCopper ContributorAny further information about the package management? e.g., any APT capabilities for Ubuntu. Or is compliance the main focus for now?
- benferse
Microsoft
Hey Joerg - that's correct. Compliance is the primary focus for the initial release, but we are looking into configuration support which could be used for package management.- JhochwaldCopper ContributorThat is fine! That would be my focus for the start as well. The Conditional Access part is something I wait for desperately ;-) Software Management is something that would be great, but based on what your focus is and what we need, I'm fine with what I learned today
- MarcoCrocianiCopper Contributorother than bash scripts do you plan any Ansible integration?
