In light of Configuration Manager switching to an annual release cadence, to focus on Intune, will more CM only features be added to Intune? For example, recording current user, advanced device inventory alike what CM records, software monitoring etc. please?

Our goal with Intune is to continue expanding capabilities that help organizations manage devices and apps in a cloud-first way. While some Configuration Manager (CM)-specific features may not map directly to Intune, we are actively investing new scenarios that will help you in your journey to cloud.
Thank you Danny 🙏
Is version 1 Autopilot still available for Hybrid Joined Devices? We are having issues on the AD join and have been told that we cannot use deployment profiles for hybrid join scenario. We are using the Zscaler Machine tunnel as a required app as part of the ESP.

Samsquanch90 You can still use Autopilot for Hybrid-joined devices. Are you using the latest ODJ Connector?
And as you know, we highly recommend using Autopilot for Entra joined devices, not for Hybrid-joined.Thanks Joe_Lurie Yes we are using the lates Intune Connector for AD. We're getting a failure after "Starting wait for ODJ blob" that states "Timed out waiting for ODJ blob for connectivity.
We asked (via OH I think) in July if there was a way to be able to pause individual Windows Updates via Intune instead of just pausing everything or nothing. Someone replied to say it's coming in a few months. Do you know when that may be please?
Thank you both 🙏

Hi HeyHey16K ,
There is no ability for that today although in general, there's no value in doing this as there are no "individual" updates to pause. For quality updates, in general, there are simply the monthly cumulative Windows updates. .NET Framework updates do fall into this category as well and cannot be separately paused. There is in-flight work to provide granular control for these different update types, but there's nothing to share on when this will be completed.
JaminAlmondGood day Heyhey25 ,
I’m not aware of any capabilities on the roadmap to pause individual updates. At this time, you can only pause updates at the Quality Update or Feature Update level, aligned with your organizational process and policies.

Welcome to November's Office Hours. We're looking through the questions you've already posted, but feel free to keep them coming. We're here to help!
Hi Guys👋, just wondering if there is a way yet to see on the local computer what OCPS settings are applied please?
Are there any initiatives to make Autopilot more... automatic? In a world with systems that are racing to outthink me and anticipate my needs, I would love a 100% unattended experience for device setup in my environment. At this point, once I am entering inventory data into a group I am already giving enough attention to a task to give it all my attention, and I'll just take the five minutes to manage it and never see any value from devoting time to configuring Autopilot anything.

Hi DavidGutierrez,
Can you be a little more specific on what your expectations and requirements are? Autopilot, other than the initial login which should be performed by the end-user, is unattended for core provisioning tasks. Autopilot does represent a shift though to a user-driven and user-centric process that may require some adjustments in your process to fully embrace. For userless devices like kiosks, self-deploying mode can be used.
Hi, is there a way to control or mitigate the reboots for extension drivers that are auto installed when using WUFB drivers and firmware since they don't respect deadline settings?
Asking to avoid uncontrolled restart of devices due to those drivers which is preventing us from using the feature.
thks in advance and don't hesitate if you have any questionsI'm not from Microsoft, but my guess is that your OEM has packaged the drivers in such a way that the installation is initiating its own reboot. This would be up to your OEM to address. (I can share that we use WUfB to deploy drivers to Microsoft Surface and Dell machines and we haven't had any reports of unexpected reboots.)

Good day,
If you’re on cloud-native devices, we recently announced maintenance windows, which you can use to manage install timing and reboot control.
What's new in Microsoft Intune at Ignite - Microsoft Intune BlogWill driver extension respect maintenance Windows?
Within a co-management environment, there are some machines that are starting to drop from Intune even though co-management is enabled. Within SCCM we have co-management enabled on ALL devices. But I am noticing some of these machines that are dropping from intune are still updating or getting Intune policies when I sign in and verify if the Info button is in the Access work or school account. When I select Sync it asks for me to sign in (I use an admin account as I troubleshoot). My question is that, does a licensed intune account have to sign into the machine every so often to prevent it from dropping from Intune?

estefonm23 You should not need to login occasionally to keep the device enrolled in Intune, when it's enrolled via Co-management. Devices that are enrolled as part of co-management have that enrollment tied to the device and its Entra ID join state, not the user. You can do a dsregsmd /status to check the join state and verify MDM URL, or check the CoManagementHandler.log for any errors. But if devices are falling out of Co-management and you cannot determine why, you may need to open a ticket for further troubleshooting.
I thought the same thing, however, I when I looked at the logs it would mention that the Azure AD creds are not recognized until I signed into the machine then everything was fine. Any ideas, for that?
Back in August I asked about the possibility of performing an in-place reinstall of Windows without having to remove the device from Intune update management and have someone manually press the "Reinstall now" button in the Settings app under "System > Recovery". At that time I was told it was not possible.
I have since learned from this blog post that there is in fact a way to do this. Apparently Microsoft Support is telling customers that they can simply create the following registry value to initiate the in-place reinstall:
Key: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
Value name: AllowInplaceUpgrade
Value data: 4
Value type: REG_DWORDI can confirm that on a machine where the in-place reinstall has been manually initiated, the value is present, except the value data is 1 instead of 4.
Unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be any official documentation about this function, aside from an off-hand reference to the value name on this support page: Windows Update Troubleshooter for devices experiencing recurring issues installing monthly security updates - Microsoft Support
Can someone please provide the technical details? What is the significance of the value data? Does it change the behavior in some way? And why isn't this documented anywhere?
- Joe_Lurie
RyanSteele-CoV Thanks for the question. This is not a key/value that we publicly document, so we don't have anything to share here. I can tell you, though, that this reg key is used by some Windows Update components as a flag to direct the client to offer or perform an in‑place upgrade (IPU) under certain remediation or admin‑initiated scenarios. Sorry we can't get deeper into the nitty gritty here.
Thanks for responding. If you are able to share feedback with whoever is responsible for this: as long as Windows is prone to getting into a state where updates can no longer be installed, administrators need a way to remotely initiate an in-place reinstall. This is a security issue.
Seeking confirmation. The Outlook mobile client is not processing workspace booking requests. Allows for the workspace to be selected, yet no invitation is received to the workspace resource calendar. I've been working with 365 support (case number 2510230040003387) and would like to know if this issue is isolated to my specific environment or if others are currently experiencing the issue. The process works without any issues from the Outlook desktop (classic and new) and OWA clients. It even works when using OWA on the same mobile device in which it does not work from the Outlook mobile client. Tested on Apple and Android and while using version 4.2539.2 and 5.2543.0 versions of the Outlook mobile app.

You have my sympathies.
I just tested and I can confirm that I was able to successfully book a workspace using Outlook version 5.2545.0 on my iPhone 13 running iOS 18.7.2.
