    We are currently trialling Enterprise App Management in Intune - what is the process for getting applications added to the Catalog that are missing. I can see requests in the Community Feedback for apps to be added, but some requests are nearly a year old and no sign of the app appearing in the Catalog.

    Also, we noticed that there was a Private Preview running recently - "Auto-updating for EAM catalog apps" - 6-8 weeks from the 27th January. Are you able share any updates on this please? We currently use a third party product that handles automatically updating apps based on criteria that we specify. We want to move to EAM to avoid a license renewal cost, but automatically updating apps would be a key requirement for us. Seems the way currently would be to manually review the 'Enterprise App Catalog apps with updates' report in Intune and take action based on those results?

    Any help appreciated as always.

    We're currently dealing with an issue trying to implement some settings in our tenant via Intune settings catalogs. When applying the settings catalogs to test groups of devices, either some or all of the devices will fail to have the settings applied. 

    For example, one setting we are trying to deploy is "RequirePrivateStoreOnly". These settings are compatible with Windows 11 Enterprise, but not Pro. Assigning a user to a O365 Business Premium license should automatically upgrade their SKU to Win11 pro, but instead on one device it's still showing Enterprise in Intune but displaying "Windows 11 Business" on the device. On another device, it shows Pro in Intune, but displays as "Business" on the device, and the second device doesn't apply this CSP (as expected). I would expect these devices to downgrade to Windows 11 Pro based on the license included in the Business Premium SKU, but the fact that it's changed to Windows 11 Business on the device while still showing up as Enterprise in Intune makes me concerned that certain CSP policies will not apply correctly/consistently. 

     

    There have been a few other forum discussions around the topic of Windows 11 "Business" SKU, which seems to not exist in any Microsoft documentation. Can you confirm which version of Windows is included in the Business Premium license and what we should expect for workstation license activation after assigning that license to a user? Do we need to manually switch the activation key for workstations we want running Windows 11 Pro?
