Windows Office Hours: July 17, 2025
Event details
Since 'cloud-first' is our strategy for device management, or company is planning decommissioning of ConfigMgr/SCCM on short term. However not all SCCM functionality is available in Intune yet, like a detailed hardware inventory or even a mechanism to target devices based on (hardware or software) specific device properties. When can we expect this ?
+1 for this. Intune
1. Doesn't record current/last logged on user
2. Doesn't have software monitoring
3. Cannot do bare metal provisioning
4. Cannot install a vanilla (bloatware free) OS/latest OS during device build
5. Reporting is lacking compared with CM (esp the custom reports)
6. Cannot pause individual Windows Updates (you can either deploy all Windows Updates or pause all of them, there seems to be no inbetween)
7. Cannot export device hardware hashes
I hope I am wrong on all of the above, and someone will tell me it can though!! 🤞

Hi HeyHey16K, Our goal is not to recreate on-prem and legacy functionality but instead provide a simple and forward-looking, cloud-centric service for managing devices. Each of the items you have listed above is more or less a separate discussion in and of themselves. Ultimately, the best way to start these discussions with us is to define the scenario and what business result cannot be achieved without the function/feature as often (not necessarily always) the result can be achieved in another way with Intune or our solution set.
This is in no way meant to discourage feedback on these items as we are always seeking to improve and ensure we cover as many customer requirements as possible. I strongly suggest joining the Microsoft Customer Connection program to better connect with the product group and have your voice heard: Announcing the Microsoft Management Customer Connection Program | Microsoft Community Hub

I would like to see some of the responses for this topic too, in special, windows updates. Also, can IK track down why a KB is failing to install? I mean, search flor a specific KB, find the computers with issues and check the log to see how to fix the issue? Thanks

In Autopatch, the Quality update status report, includes Optional Columns (that you can add in through the Intune UI) that includes "Hex Error Code" that tells you the error. Check out Windows Update error code list by component | Microsoft Learn for a list of error codes by component. I know for Feature Update failures we are including recommendations on how to resolve. It appears for Quality Update reporting we have some work to do to pull in recommendations for resolving.
