Thanks for joining us today for an AMA on Microsoft Intune & Configuration Manager: best practices to help you prepare for Windows 11. We appreciate your questions and feedback—and look forward to continuing the discussion on the Windows community!
- Within Intune under Windows devices/Configuration profiles will there be additional templates specific to Windows 11 coming or configuration settings appended to those already existing for the new features within Windows 11. I know hard question to answer as things are changing all the time however is there anything that can be shared which will be unique to Windows 11 from this configuration management perspective?

In most cases, the same configuration profiles will apply to Windows 10 and Windows 11. When that's not the case, there will be good ways to recognize the difference and make the appropriate settings.
- We are planning to setup Desktop Analytics in MEM - any considerations specific to gathering info on Windows 11 - licensing, Azure subscription updates?
- Joe_LurieHi Emy, thanks for the question. Desktop Analytics does not support Windows 11. Please view this docs page for more information: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/whats-new/windows-11-prepare#review-servicing-approach-and-policies
- Hey Joe, have I missed it or is DA only available within ConfigMgr?
- In Windows 10, when you want to print different PDF files with multiple pages, this is not possible. Is this fixed in Windows 11?
- Harjit_DhaliwalAre you referring to printing one PDF file with multiple pages or multiple PDF files with multiple pages?
- Do we need to update Azure AD Connect in preparation for deploying Windows 11? Our Windows 10 computers are now in hybrid join mode.
- Joe_LurieAzure AD Connect does not depend on a specific Windows version. You should always keep your infrastructure up to date, but no need to upgrade to anything new *specifically for* Windows 11.
- Moving forward will employees be able to better manage their own devices through https://myaccount.microsoft.com/ as right now they can't only review and select to disable devices no longer active. Will additional features be made available to give end users/employees more control. Not sure if this fits in with the Intune or Configuration Manager discussion but thought I would ask since it popped up in my mind.

Hi ChrisWilliams, the myaccount AAD portal is specific to AAD identity and not device management per se. For device management, Company Portal and the Web Company portal are the preferred destinations for end-users to perform admin activity for their devices. There are discussions and investigations around slowly merging these separate portals or at least more tightly integrating them thus offering the end-users a single portal for all of their needs. There is no more specific public information around this effort today, however, what would you like to see added that would benefit your organziation?
- Thanks Jason for the reply, I think in the end my question was more towards what you were referring to when you indicated "There are discussions and investigations around slowly merging these separate portals or at least more tightly integrating them thus offering the end-users a single portal for all of their needs." It seems right now yes there are discrepancies for how a end user would go about managing their own devices and as you mentioned in that statement it is good to know there is work underway to unify this for an end user.
- What versions of Windows 10 can still co-exist with Windows 11 - we cannot upgrade work computers all at the same time.
- Yunduan_BaoFor a list of the lifecycles for different version and SKUs: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/release-health/release-information
- David_GuyerIn-support versions of Windows 10 can easily co-exist with Windows 11 devices.
- We have employees who access some of our M365 apps from their personal Windows 10 workstations - what info can we share about their questions on updating or upgrading their personal computers to Windows 11?
- David_GuyerEmy, I think you are asking about computers the employees own and how they would upgrade to Windows 11. If that's the case, then Windows 11 will be offered via Windows Update to devices that meet the requirements once we are ready to release it. If they'd like to get an early look, then they can join their computers to the Windows Insider Dev or Beta channels.
- We have been using Co-Management with SCCM and Endpoint Manager. Devices are showing up in Endpoint Manager as Hybrid Azure AD joined machines, but not always in Azure AD under the user profile. Is there a reason why. If it should be in both places, is there a way to fix it?
- Jason_Sandys
Hi Carol DeMuth, thank you for the question. To clarify here, do the devices show in Azure AD at all, just not with the desired user set as the owner?
- They show in Azure AD, but not with the registered owner. We are using Azure AD Connect to enroll devices
