Support tip: Updated - ADMX-backed admin templates in preview

[Intune_Support_Team]

Administrative templates will be generally available this summer in Intune. Mobile Device Management (MDM) policy configuration has been built into Windows, starting with Windows 10, version 1703 release. The preview in Intune allows a templated access of select Group Policy administrative templates (ADMX-backed policies) for Windows PCs via the Policy configuration service provider (CSP). This expanded access ensures that enterprises do not need to compromise security of their devices in the cloud. This functionality will be available for Intune standalone and co-managed devices.  With this advancement, around 2500 additional up-to-date settings from Office, Windows and OneDrive will become available for administrators to configure as a built-in first-class experience in Intune.
