Welcome to Office Hours! This will be our final session before 2024, but we'll be back January 18th to help you with your Windows deployment, update, and management questions. Please post your questions in the Comments below for our crew of experts!
- Nesav132Brass ContributorWe 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?
- Heather_PoulsenCommunity Manager
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!
- HeyHey16KSteel ContributorDo 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? (https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/idea/cf8c6e57-e298-ee11-a81c-0022484f9f6d)
- RobYorkMicrosoftNo specific info to share but they are all gaps we've heard as crucial to some customers moving to cloud-native
- Jason_SandysMicrosoftHi 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?
- HeyHey16KSteel ContributorHi 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.
- JoeH45Iron ContributorIn 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_GuilloryMicrosoftDid 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.
- VincentPandaCopper ContributorAn update, announced for early january "We're updating IPs for portal access and SIEM agent connections." concerns me. Being a tenant admin, I want to be prepared. This is what I should do: "What you need to do to prepare: Review your current configuration and ensure the appropriate IPs are allowed to minimize impact to your service." What are the appropriate IP's? How do I allow them? Or, preferably, will they be allowed by default?
- Nesav132Brass ContributorI'd like to know this as well. We are 100% cloud based, would this be someting I still need to configure?
- Joe_LurieMicrosoft
HI Nesav132 and VincentPanda I think you are asking about MC697804. Looking at this Network Requirements page, it looks like it's been updated with the new or updated IPs. Please check this out. If it is not updated, let us know!
- Yasar_IpceOccasional ReaderCurios to hear why...I am migrating Windows 10 devices to Windows 11 via feature upgrade package. Noticed that running notepad.exe as admin will get it open as legacy app and not as modern app. Why is this the case? On the other hand clean Windows 11 running notepad.exe as admin will open modern app.
- marycortezCopper ContributorHow can I configure teams to run on startup for all managed devices under intune?
- Joe_LurieMicrosoft
marycortez I haven't tried this myself but for Windows devices you should be able to use Remediations to ensure Windows devices are configured to run Teams on startup. For iOS and Android, there should be a Configuration Policy that can be used for this.
- HeyHey16KSteel ContributorDo you have a ballpark idea when new Outlook will force-deploy to replace classic Outlook please?
- Heather_PoulsenCommunity Manager
Hi Michelle -- Thanks for your question. We don't have any Outlook PMs in these Office Hours sessions so I'd recommend that you post this question in the Outlook Tech Community for insights.
- HeyHey16KSteel ContributorThank you - have done so 🙂
- HeyHey16KSteel Contributor
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)
- HeyHey16KSteel ContributorThank you - will do 🙂
