Thank you for joining us for Windows Office Hours today! We'll get our new "save the date" pages up soon and will be here for you again every third Thursday in 2024 here on the Tech Community!
- Happy Christmas everyone, thank you for all your help this year 🙂

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, Happy Holidays! - Heather_PoulsenHappy holidays!!
- In Intune, a Win32 app that has dependencies attached would install those dependencies before it checked the requirement rule(s) on the main application. This has lead to a number of issues where dependencies have been installed even if the main application is not required on a particular computer. Is there a plan to change this so the requirements rule(s) are checked first?
- Danny_GuilloryDid you open a support case? I would recommend opening a support case and support case. Yes, something my team knows about is the challenges in knowing the details about applications subgraph.
Thank you for this forum. This might not be the place but, we have about 100 PCs fetching Windows Updates from some server in [edited]. I've investigated this and found this IP belongs to: name: "Pittsburgh Internet Exchange", domain: "pit-ix.net" and Microsoft rents space on this server. Should I be concerned?
- Jason_SandysHi Roy, Thank you for the question. Most Windows Update content is not actually served up by Microsoft and is instead fronted or served up by one of multiple global CDNs. I don't know what all of these CDNs are offhand (and not sure if we publish what they are either). The IPs for these CDNs rotate regularly as well so there is no static list of the IPs either to my knowledge. Ultimately, Windows Update content can come from peers as well as multiple other Internet sources. All Windows Update content is cryptographically signed by Microsoft and validated by the OS before any action is taken using that content. This essentially guarantees that the content is "genuine" and produced by Microsoft regardless of the last mile download source.
- This makes me feel better. The HTTP request had me living in fear. KNowing it's at least signed puts me at ease. Tyvm
- Heather_PoulsenRoy, I've logged this IP for investigation, and removed it from your post so that it isn't clickable.
- Brings me great joy to know someone will look at this server as it sets off an alert in our SOC software every time. 🙂 tytyty.
- Do you have a ballpark idea when Preferences (Reg Keys, File deploys etc. - I won't say drive maps as know you guys want us to let them go.. but we need those too please) will be supported in Intune policy please?

- Jason_SandysHi Michelle. There's nothing to announce at this time other than we are tracking customer requirements for the functionality that group policy preference provided to customers. There are investigations into designs as well for some functionality here, but again, we are not at the stage where we have anything meaningful to announce. Can you provide some specific business challenges that you are looking to address using preferences? Also, not saying this is the right answer in any way, but can you characterize why using scripts is not sufficient for your org?
- Hi Jason, thank you for your reply. We worked hard to get away from scripts (logon scripts etc.) for our Preferences and move everything into a central/easy to manage system (Group Policy). Going back to individual scripts, just because Intune doesn't have equivalent native central management capability, feels like regression and will be less manageable.
- RobYorkNo specific info to share but they are all gaps we've heard as crucial to some customers moving to cloud-native
- I've been working on implementing security baselines through the Intune Endpoint Security Section. I noticed that when a security baseline policy fails on a device, all associated policies in that baseline fail on the device. This is not the same behavior as when I configure policies manually through the Settings catalogue where individual settings still apply even if one fails. Is this intended behavior? Is there a plan to change this? What is Microsoft's recommendation on setting up baselines within Intune?
- Is there a way to stop Intune policy tattooing when the policy is revoked please? (https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/idea/c636d31c-e398-ee11-a81c-0022484f9f6d)
- Jason_SandysHi Michelle. There are a couple of different mechanisms that apply policy within Intune to Windows devices (assuming you are referring to Windows devices here) and this was a problem we did design and engineering effort to correct. To the best of my knowledge, this should not occur anymore (at least not by design) and if you encountered any settings where this does still, occur, please open a support case to raise this as an issue so it can be diagnosed, tracked and prioritized.
- Thank you Jason, this is interesting to hear, we haven't revoked anything for a while but the last time we did the settings remained in situ, so will give it a test 🙂
- We are noticing quite a few people who update to the New Teams is causing the add-in of Outlook to disappear. Our fix for this is going to COM Add-ins, unchecking the box for teams meeting, closing Outlook and then checking the box to bring it back. Is there a fix for this?

Hi Melissa -- We don't have any Outlook or Teams PMs in these Office Hours sessions so I'd recommend that you post this question in the Outlook Tech Community first for insights. Thanks!
Is there a way (similar to GPResult) to identify what OCPS policies/settings are applied to a computer please? (https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/idea/739ada6a-e498-ee11-a81c-0022484f9f6d)
- Do you have a ballpark idea when new Outlook will force-deploy to replace classic Outlook please?

- Thank you - have done so 🙂
