    Recently upgraded to the Exchange Subscription Edition, in regards to patching, can this be done through MECM, or it is better to do the steps of
    server in maintenance mode
    download install patch
    take server out of maintenance mode
    reboot etc.

    Multi admin approval - I'd love if we could set it so certain users are excluded from this. Right now, it's all or nothing if you turn it on for certain scopes.

      EthanM1​ Thanks for the question! As you note, today it's all or nothing. But this has been a common ask since we implemented MAA. Please go to our feedback portal and 👍🏻this request. I see it listed a few times here: "Multi-admin approval"+ exclude · Community

      I see it listed a few times so you can like them all. You should also use the in-console Feedback to leave that request as well.

    Hi there, what is the current status of Quick Machine Recovery controlled by Intune? Some MS articles mention that this feature is available since 24H2 build 26100.4700, while others say that these settings are marked as Windows Insider Only. If the latter is the case, which Insider channel does it refer to? And what is the expected rollout date?
