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?

Dec 21, 2023Hi 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?
- HeyHey16KDec 21, 2023Iron 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.
