    I'm seeing multiple occurrences where my Intune clients prompt for user credentials, daily. dsregcmd /status shows the KeySignTest is failed every time this happens. Why are my Intune clients constantly having failed transport keys? How can this be prevented?

      First note that Intune is not involved in this process. Authentication is the realm of on-prem AD, Entra ID, and other IdPs and not management solutions like Intune. Next, without a lot more details that this forum is not well suited in handling, nothing can really be said here about possible root causes. Your best path here is to open a support case and/or being in outside eyes in the form of a consultant or partner to assess and diagnose the scenario and issue.

    With Cloud PKI kicking off I’d love to hear more about the Intune / Windows side of on-prem network auth; this has historically been done with NPS but there’s been a big gap for cloud-joined devices until now. Will device-and-user certs be possible? To date that hasn’t worked as it’s a chicken-and-egg scenario (device connection disconnects on user logon but user hasn’t logged in before to be able to sync and get a cert).

      NPS is a legacy solution and technology that we have no current plans to update although we are aware of the need and are investigating possible paths forward. The best path to follow today if you have a requirement for device-based certificate authentication via RADIUS is to look at a solution from one of the many network vendors and our partners.

    Since we're on my favorite topic of hardware drivers, can we get a definitive answer - is it possible to use Windows Update / Intune Drivers and Firmware updates while using WSUS for Windows Updates?

    @Carley, Aria speaking of driver updates, how much integration is there for OEM vendors like HP and their softpaqs?

    Talking about security baseline. Is there anything to tell when a newer version of the windows baseline (settings catalog version) is coming. Thought somewhere this year it was set to October/November

    Please, please, please pause the video so people can turn off their speakers to eliminate the annoying echo!

    Is there plans to expand on what currently works within Policy Sets?

      From Jason Sandys live: no plan to invest further in Policy Sets, will stay as-is for the time being. The need is still there, but current implementation is problematic. We're looking at alternate ways of providing the same functionality.

    I just wanted to verify that Driver updates automatically deploy, install/update themselves. I am assuming so, once you create the intune policy.

    Our SMEs on camera have switched from Intune to Windows so let's get some Windows deployment, update, and management questions going. (Intune questions are still welcome too! Plenty of SMEs monitoring this chat.)

    Drivers and BIOS updates - how does Intune deal with set BIOS passwords on local machines? ALSO how do we stop Bitlocker policy from re-applying when paused for BIOS updates?

      From our experience the newer modes of Dell/HP/Lenovo can update a password protected firmware since the password is protecting the settings only and not the software
