Windows Office Hours is our continuing series of live Q&A for IT professionals here on Tech Community.
How does it work?
We will have a broad group of product experts, servicing experts, and engineers representing Windows, Microsoft Intune, Configuration Manager, Windows 365, Windows Autopilot, security, public sector, FastTrack, and more. They will be standing by here -- in chat -- to provide guidance, discuss strategies and tactics, and, of course, answer any specific questions you may have.
Post your questions in the Comments early and throughout the one-hour event.
Note: This is a chat-based event. There is no video or live meeting component. Questions and answers will appear in the Comments section below. |

- Rich_OlsonCopper ContributorWhat is a way to use Intune to remove the Mail App that comes preinstalled with Windows OS? We have many users in our company who do not have email and we want to remove the Mail App so people can't setup a personal email address
- marycortezCopper ContributorYou add the app as if you were assigning an application in the Intune admin center, but in the assignments tab you add your groups/users to the Uninstall section.
- Rich_OlsonCopper ContributorWithin Security Module in Admin Center - Devices that are enrolled into Intune - Security Center is not catching malware but it is being caught by our FIrewall. Why is that happening? What settings are not setup so malware can be getting caught?
- John_R007Copper ContributorWe have meeting rooms configured to process external invitations, but have a delegations list that only includes internal staff + a few specific externals. For any external meeting organizer that is not on the delegates list, they can send a meeting invite to an internal employee who forwards it to the room and the room accepts and all is well. UNLESS - if the external organizer sends a meeting update (adds/edits agenda, etc), when the change arrives in the rooms inbox, it is treated as a new invite and tries to replace the existing accepted meeting and gets declined as a result since it was forwarded from internal. How do we get past this and get Exchange to recognize changes to existing approved external meetings? Opening up the delegate list is not a viable option for us.
- Heather_PoulsenCommunity ManagerHi John - We don't have Exchange product teams members here in Windows Office Hours, but I will look for the right person to answer this question. Thanks!
- John_R007Copper ContributorThanks, sorry for the topic drift - my first time in here
- ColreynoCopper ContributorFor Azure Dynamic Groups, are there any plans on bringing back the Organizational Unit property back as a viable option? Currently we can still select it in the Azure portal but I've been told by other Microsoft employees that it no longer works. We are trying to find the best way to dynamically add device groups that will stay current to Azure Admin Units as well as use similar type groups to keep Intune device management separate among a few different teams. Dynamically updaing groups via OU would make this infinitely easier.
- Jason_SandysMicrosoftHi Cory. This is a great question and I've looked at this myself previously as I certainly concur with the possible value. For a variety of reasons though, this is not something that is planned on being reversed (to my knowledge). There is an active workstream though to improve grouping and targeting as a whole though and provide better, more flexible, granular, and responsive constructs to Intune. There are no timelines to share on this other than sometime in the "near" future. To fill the gap for the time being, the best way (IMO) to approach these types of targeting challenges is to use the Graph API and scripts to leverage the information that is currently captured elsewhere (in your on-prem AD in your scenario) to populate AAD/Entra ID groups. I fully acknowledge there's some overhead in this and it is additional effort on your part, but once set up and running, will achieve your goals here (at least in the interim).
- Heather_PoulsenCommunity ManagerThanks for joining us, Cory. Working on recommendations for this.
- Rich_OlsonCopper ContributorIn New Outlook App - Many of our users are having an issue where you open up an email but the body of the email does not load up. We have to close out of the email and then double click it several times for the body of the email to load up so you can read it. Anyone else experiencing this issue?
- Heather_PoulsenCommunity Manager
Are you talking about the new Outlook for Windows? If so, please file a support ticket and/or enter that into Feedback Hub. I'll get this information to someone to investigate as well.
- vaumanCopper ContributorNot the same, but I have had reports of images hosted on domains in Trusted Sites not loading
- reastman1966Copper ContributorCan you point me in the right direction for enrolling Android devices? Just started enrolling Windows 10/11 devices so this was a surprise as of this morning.
- Heather_PoulsenCommunity Manager
Enrolling Android devices in Intune? We've got a step-by-step enrollment guide for that. 😁
- Jamie_AnsellBrass ContributorIs there any timeframe on unattended mode for Remote Help being released? Also any recommendations on how to fulfil MFA during logon on shared devices - Windows Hello isn't suitable.
- ThomasTrombleyMicrosoftThis just in: Unattended mode for Android Remote Help is live. The team is actively working on unattended sessions for Windows Remote Help. We don't have a timeline and ETA we can share at the moment.
- Jamie_AnsellBrass ContributorThanks for the update Thomas, it's Windows I'm interested in.
- ThomasTrombleyMicrosoftGood morning/afternoon/evening Jamie. I am reaching out to a PM to find an answer for you!
- Char_CheesmanBronze Contributor
Keep those questions flowing! We’re halfway through. Post away in the Comments, and we'll do our best to help!
- Yasar_IpceOccasional ReaderWhat is the quickest way to switch Office from Current Channel to Monthly Enterprise Channel?
- nlmitchellBrass Contributor
We changed the channel of all of our installed instances of Office 365 using an Intune Config Profile. It was a device targeted profile using the Settings Catalog
- Yasar_IpceOccasional ReaderThank you. And what about Legacy devices?
