- egoodmanBrass ContributorThere's been some confusion around the retiring of the Store for Business and the recommended way to install Company Portal moving forward. Can you outline what the path forward is for obtaining & installing the Company Portal once the store goes away?
- lalanc01Iron Contributorwhat would be the best way to force a Win32 application to retry to install if it failed the 1st time, from the portal? This is helpful to do when testing a new application. thks
- Steven-HBrass ContributorAny plans to have an app exclusions list for the Enrollment Status Page (ESP). Right now, you can block the device usage for all required apps or specified required apps but I find it's more useful to to block for all then exclude only the problematic apps.
- Steven-HBrass Contributor
Under your ESP configuration you have an option toward the bottom of the configuration called:
Block device use until these required apps are installed if they are assigned to the user/deviceThat option only allows you to either block ALL required apps or Specified required apps. I would find it far more useful to do ALL EXCEPT FOR and then specify the exceptions. The reason behind this is that there are certain apps that do not play nice with installation during Autopilot deployment.

Agree that this would be a useful feature.
We resorted to a custom requirement script that detects the presence of the ESP, and check the output of the script as the requirement ("ESP is not running" as the requirement). It's not 100% reliable, however.$ESPProcesses = Get-Process -Name 'CloudExperienceHostBroker' -ErrorAction 'SilentlyContinue' if ($ESPProcesses.Count -eq 0) { Write-Host 'ESP is not running' }
- lalanc01Iron ContributorWhich rights are needed to be able to see Compliance policies in Intune? Asking because we have global reader in Azure and read only analysis in Intune but compliance policies blade is empty? Thks
- SeMeDeIron Contributor
Hi lalanc01,
I don't know the exact RBAC permission, but I know that you can see the Compliance Policies with the "Security Reader" Role. But maybee you can have a look on the RBAC permissions of this role and so you can find which right allows the view of the Compliance Policies.
I have a similiar problem. I'm not allowed to have security reader anymore.
Now I work around it with "Cloud Device Administrator" Role looking in the sign-ins and then can at least see the checked Compliance Policies and the outcome of the login. Of course not very smart, but least-privilege in huge companies force us to do so.
- AntonDobschenskyBrass ContributorIn configuration policies there is a "Printers" section that allows you to add printers. It doesn't seem to work, I'm guessing due to installing drivers. How is it recommended to add network printers in Endpoint Management?

Windows Office Hours - every third Thursday here on the Tech Community - https://aka.ms/Windows/OfficeHours
- treestryderIron ContributorThe Microsoft Store was more than a collection of applications. Requiring apps to be packaged as MSIX and APPX made even traditional/non-UWP applications safer, as well as easier to deploy and maintain. Then the Store for Business centralized and simplified application licensing. I feel like recent changes are a move away from years of effort to improve security, privacy, reliability, and manageability. Could you please speak to this concern?
- Joe_FriedelBrass ContributorCan we get a simple option to automatically install Company Portal on Intune-enrolled devices, something better than the offline download from the soon-to-retire Store for Business?
- c-probusCopper ContributorIn the Autopilot white glove deployment when will there be native support to apply windows updates before user enrollment?

Microsoft
Can't say exactly when, but I do know it is something we are discussing and there's high value in making available.
- lalanc01Iron ContributorAny plans to have Feature update for windows 10 and later policies show up in Configuration profiles tab for devices? That would help make sure which policy is applied to specific devices when troubleshooting Thks

Microsoft
Yes, that is something we are missing, and we need to add this to help with troubleshooting. Don't know exactly when we'll deliver it, but since it's so helpful to troubleshooting, it's definitely on the list.
