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.

    Custom compliance discovery scripts for Microsoft Intune - will they ever be supported on MacOS (or iOS), if not why? NB For Windows we run a PowerShell script and can mark BYOD devices non compliant for various reasons such as non applied pending Windows updates

    Is there a road map item to create more granular permissions e.g. allow access to Microsoft Message center or Service Health without being able to read all user objects? We run privileged access workstations (PAW) with role separation so our non admin accounts can't read email digest Message center notices (annoying) and can't read device or user objects (by design)

    What kind of Microsoft Defender features are available in China / 21Vianet tenants? Our Defender portal in this tenant looks very empty. Is it simply not supported? There are feature comparisons in your documentation but none seem to include Defender.

    I have ~50 Windows 11 devices enrolled into Intune Autopatch out of ~700 devices that just show download and install in the check for updates screen. There are other devices in the same update rings that work as expected with downloading and installing quality updates with just a requirement to restart. I have been working with Microsoft support, but it has been slow going so I am hoping someone here can help point me in the right direction.

    Using WUfB deployment service for drivers and firmware updates is a great feature. In the inventory phase, we see for each driver on how many devices it is applicable. However, there is no click-through to see exactly which devices will receive the update *before* the deployment. I guess this is a 'feature request' unless there is another way to accomplish this? Remark that *after* the drivers or firmware has been deployed, the report for driver updates does list the machines it has been applied to.

    Are there any plans foreseen to evolve Delivery Optimization (DO) , as it is a core component of Windows Update and any delivery of CDN content ? The scenario is when you have a Microsoft Connected Cache (MCC) on-premises. In fact, it lacks some features to fully control it in modern enterprise environment, like (1) VPN solutions are old-style and replaced by non-VPN solution like ZScaler which make the DO controls/policies for VPN (to avoid use of MCC) useless and (2) there are no controls for example to avoid use of MCC servers in a specific mode for example LAN mode which is used for working from your home network.

      Hi Johan. I'm reviewing this question with our DO folks now, and will follow up as soon as I hear back.
