Thank you for joining us for Windows Office Hours today! We'll see you all next month on April 18th, 2024.
- How does Windows determine your location and set the correct time? I'm running into an issue where my time-zone keeps changing automatically, multiple times a day. I can see in the event log that something happened to cause this change, but I cannot figure out what the trigger is for this to occur.
- Is Secure Time Seeding enabled?
- Are you using a VPN? Maybe the time zone is changing based on the VPN connection location.
- This change happens, even when there is no VPN. That's what I initially thought was the issue.
- Peter, if your devices are domain joined then the devices should be syncing time from the domain controllers.
- These are AzureAD devices.
- We have a fair number of machines on Windows 10 and would like to gradually update them to Windows 11. Is there a setting in Intune that will allow the update to download only and not force install? I'm only seeing settings that will download and install.

When you create an Intune "Windows 10 or later updates" Configuration Policy for a deployment ring, you can set your Deadline for Feature Updates. This gives your users space between getting the content for the update and when a restart will be required (in days) to apply it. If you are looking to stagger across your environment, you should be using a ring-based approach, to cascade out at different start times to different device populations. Check out Configure Update rings for Windows 10 and later policy in Intune | Microsoft Learn for details on how to set up deployment rings that have different start times to help stagger your deployments to get an eventual rollout completed in your environment.
- Thank you for this information, that is definitely helpful for putting a "this is going to happen" plan in place.
David_GuyerNesav132 , great question! We are actually in the final steps of completing adding an option to make the update optional to end users, and hoping you'll see that in Feature update policies in Intune in the next month or two. It won't pre-download the update, but will enable the end user to choose if they want to install it. Later, when you are ready to make it required for everyone, you can just change the setting in your policy, and it will become required for everyone who hasn't installed it yet.

- That's great, I'll watch for this in the next month or so.
- AriaUpdatedHey Melissa, do you really want device to not install the update or are you looking for a way to give users the ability to "seek" for the Windows 11 upgrade for some period of time before forcing it?
- I would love the ability to allow them to seek it and install when they are ready. That would be great. Can't seem to find how to allow that.
- When using the Azure Cloud Shell, the cursor jumps backwards and overwrites previous text. Same thing happens if you try to use cloud shell in Windows Terminal. Is there a fix for this? The only way to really use it is to keep typing "clear" before your next command or the output messes up the screen. Could there be an option that tells the terminal "I don't ever want the cursor to go back up a line?"
- I went to confirm that this was still happening, and wouldn't you know it, today it is working fine in both the web page and Windows Terminal. So thank you if something got fixed recently!

Gregory Neumarke We don't have anyone on this Office Hours from the Azure team. Can you please repost this question in the Azure forums where it can get the visibility to be answered? (2) Welcome to the Azure Community Space (microsoft.com)
- The Edge Management Service (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-management-service) is a great new way to configure EDGE settings in the enterprise. However, it lacks features like reporting (graphs on nr of users in scope, settings applied, settings conflicts...) and analysis features (like Group Policy Results for GPO's). Unfortunately a roadmap for Edge Management Service is not available (anyway, CoPilot cannot find any 😉 ). Are any features like mentioned above foreseen for Edge Management Service in the future? Can you say anything on the roadmap of Edge Management Service?
We have managed iPhones with Apple DEP. In the past when a user received a new iPhone, we would simply do an iCloud backup and when setting up their new managed iPhone, we'd do a restore from iCloud backup and then afterwards they would authenticate with Comp Portal app and we were fine.
Lately when we do a restore from iCloud backup it works just fine (re-downloading the apps, re-applying the settings, iMessages/Photos restored, etc.), however if we try to log into the Comp Portal app we get an error message (see below). The Comp Portal is wanting us to manually download the management profile (which we don't want).
We put a ticket in with MS Support and they advised that this is not or no longer supported. I advised that it was working before, but why all of a sudden it's not? I can't tell our users that sorry you can't use iCloud backup, you'll not only loose your iMessages & Photos but you'll have to manually re-install your apps.
Can someone please provide any insight or help here?

raydomingue The short answer is, it's best to open a ticket so engineering can look at the logs. For this specific scenario, it sounds like you are restoring from an old iPhone to a new device, correct? This is absolutely supported (back up old device to iCloud restore from backup to new device). https://support.apple.com/en-us/108344
We also have this link I can share on backup/restore details https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/intune/enrollment/backup-restore-ios#restore-options-and-workflow and specifically the section on restoring from a different device.
My final thought is that we actually have a current issue that may be impacting you: Known issue: iOS/iPadOS ADE users incorrectly redirected to Intune Company Portal website - Microsoft Community Hub
So, if this answer doesn't solve anything, please open a ticket so engineering can see the logs and see what's happening.
- Outlook question: The new client is great, but I've noticed the Rules are not as robust as they are in the classic. Many people in my organization like the rules they have in classic and refuse to switch to new Outlook because the rules don't carry over well. Will rules in new outlook become as robust as they are in classic? Or should we stay in classic in order to use robustness rules? (Examples of robust rules: sending automatic replies outside of office hours, setting inbox management rules for calendar invites/replies)
- EricMoeThe new Outlook Roadmap is published here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/roadmap?filters=Outlook%2CDesktop%2CWeb&searchterms=New%2COutlook. Please use the feedback tool within the New Outlook application itself to request features and capabilities you need to be more productive.
- Thanks for this direction!
- When using Intune to wipe a device but keep enrollment state, the setting to disable PIN for login setup are ignored. Will this be corrected?
- KevinMineweaser_MSFTHi Chris, I'm not aware of this issue. Can you please submit feedback to Intune using the Smiley Face in the Intune Console or via https://aka.ms/IntuneFeedback Thanks! -Kevin
- This is my first attempt at office hours, so I'm not 100% sure this is the right place, but I have a question about Bookings: Is there a way to make a room resource a Staff on a service? Or is there a different application recommended for booking with a room rather than a person?
