Dell Firmware Very Slow to Appear in Intune Driver Updates
Have an instance where the Dell 5520 latest firmware release (1.51.0 released 09/06/26) has still not appeared in the Intune Driver Updates which means we have vulnerable laptops in the field. We do not utilise Dell Command update on the laptop to reduce the attack surface so do rely on Intune to deliver these updates in a timely manner. I'm aware that it can take a little while for Dell releases to appear on the Microsoft side, but this is over 6 weeks now. We have spoken to Dell Support, but they have deemed this a Microsoft problem. We then spoke to Microsoft Support, and it was deemed that we would have to pay for support on this given it fell outside of the scope of our service level. So essentially no-one wanted to take responsibility or assist with this! Does the forum have any insights into what may be going on here and how we can move this forward?
Microsoft EPM – Random CMD / PowerShell / OpenConsole popups
Hello everyone, we are currently testing Microsoft Endpoint Privilege Management (EPM) and are seeing some unexpected behavior on several devices. Symptoms Users occasionally see random: CMD windows PowerShell windows OpenConsole windows The windows usually appear shortly after logon and disappear automatically after a short time. Some developers also reported issues related to: VS Code terminal integration Copilot terminal actions Windows Terminal WSL / Debian Additional observations However, we have also seen PowerShell popups on a user who is not currently part of the EPM pilot group Some affected devices still have Admin By Request installed Current EPM Configuration At the moment we only have an Elevation Settings Policy assigned with User Confirmed enabled. We currently do not have any custom elevation rules, file hash rules, publisher rules or automatic elevations configured. The issue appears in a configuration that is essentially limited to: EPM client installed Elevation Settings Policy assigned User Confirmed elevation workflow enabled This is one of the reasons why we are unsure whether the behavior is directly related to an EPM policy configuration or to an interaction between: EPM agent Windows Terminal / OpenConsole VS Code WSL Admin By Request Questions Has anyone experienced random CMD / PowerShell / OpenConsole windows after introducing EPM? Has anyone seen issues between EPM and: Windows Terminal OpenConsole.exe VS Code terminal WSL Has anyone run Admin By Request and Microsoft EPM on the same device and observed unexpected console windows? Are there any EPM-specific logs that provide detailed parent/child process relationships for these launches? Any ideas or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Is it possible to automate Minimum Windows OS version compliance policy?
Is it possible to set a Windows compliance policy for Minimum OS Version that automatically updates each month and marks the device noncompliant after 14 days? This would work if we normally allow users 2 weeks after Patch Tuesday to get their device updated. We would like to avoid having to have someone remember to manually edit the compliance policy every month to update the minimum build number in the policy.
Windows App Application Protection Policy
I have been testing out an Intune MAM policy to restrict copy/paste and drive redirection to AVD session hosts based on the link here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-app/require-device-security-compliance-intune?tabs=web#related-contentHowever, I've run into problems (in two separate tenants) that have halted me from being able to test. Setup Intune App Protection Policy targeting Windows Devices & Microsoft Edge\ Conditional Access Policy enforcing App Protection Policy when users access 'Azure Virtual Desktop' target resource via https://windows.cloud.microsoft.com Results First When signing into a user account targeted by the policy, they are prompted to Switch Edge Profile which signs in the user to a new Edge profile for 'Work or School Account'. The account has to sign in again. The account can access Windows App resources When launching a desktop session, this authentication page pops up for an account "local@debugonly" Second When signing into a user account targeted by the policy, they are prompted to Switch Edge Profile which signs in the user to a new Edge profile for 'Work or School Account'. The account has to sign in again. After sign in, the account loops with 'Switch Edge Profile' and gets stuck here I'm curious if anyone has gotten this to work and what was your setup? Or if Microsoft or provide some assistance or if this is in the wrong forum, any help would be appreciated.
Bitlocker key requested on the boot, but I don’t have any key
My laptop (Windows 10, version 22H2, build 19045), that I have been using more than 6 years already, suddenly started asking for the BitLocker recovery key at startup, which is blocking access to the system entirely. What I've already checked/tried: - Checked account.microsoft.com/devices/recoverykey while signed in with my Microsoft account, no key appears for this device. - Contacted Microsoft Support directly, they said they can no longer assist with Windows 10 issues and suggested posting here instead. Is there any way to recover access to this drive?Intune Graph API deviceStatuses missing device shown in portal
Hello, I am retrieving device status for an Intune configuration profile using Microsoft Graph API. API request: GET https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/deviceManagement/deviceConfigurations/{policyId}/deviceStatuses Issue: In the Intune portal, a device shows Success status for the configuration profile under: Devices → Configuration profiles → Device status However, when retrieving the same data using the Graph API endpoint above, that device does not appear in the API response. Observations: In the Intune portal, the policy shows one device with Success status. But the Graph API response returns different devices and does not include the device visible in the portal. Example response (sanitized): deviceDisplayName: Device-A status: unknown deviceDisplayName: Device-B status: unknown Questions: Why would a device appear in the Intune portal device status but not in the Graph API deviceStatuses response? Is there a delay in data synchronization between the Intune portal and Graph API? Is there another Graph endpoint recommended for retrieving all device configuration status results? Additional details: Graph API version: beta Permission used: DeviceManagementConfiguration.Read.All Tested using Graph Explorer Any insights would be appreciated.
Have OneDrive or SharePoint files/folders on home screen of iPad without internet connection?
This. I'm on a big iOS project. We have several users who need files on an ipad when traveling, and be able to open them when there is no internet connectivity. These files aren't intended to be edited, just 'read only.' These files do not contain any sensitive corporate data. The content lives in SharePoint online and I'm using OneDrive as a bridge to their sharepoint site. BUT the files can only be viewed on the ipad within the OneDrive app without internet access. These are devices using user affinity enrollment. Initially, the solution for users was to use the 'Mark Offline' feature within the OneDrive iOS app. I used Power Automate to have it fetch new files found in OneDrive and move them to the teams SharePoint site. These shared devices are locked down (an understatement). These will be used by the least computer savy/literate people and so having them dive through OneDrive folder after folder, even offline, is a tall order to ask. I totally get it and don't want them doing that either. So now I have to move onto plan B. How can we put the files that live within OneDrive/Sharepoint onto the home screen without an internet connection when the ipad is 'out in the field.?' This would make it infinitely easier for them. The key here is to not have end users manually moving files around. We don't want them to even have to go into OneDrive and mark folders/files offline, if possible. We don't have the SharePoint app on them. I tried the SP app a while back, and it is a hot mess of garbage. I could revisit it. Whatever I can get to work of course we'll have to modify our Intune polices. Thoughts?
Intune iOS User-Based App Targeting
I’ve noticed an issue with user-based targeting and was wondering if this is an issue, or I'm just using it wrong. Lets say I want an iOS app to be deployed out to a user group, but only to company owned devices of those users. I set the assignment for required user group and assign an Include filter for corporate owned devices. If this app is also Available for All Users, then the app deploys out to all devices from the required user group, even their personal devices. It basically forgets there is a filter for the required user group assignment. Any way around this? It feels like a glitch in how Intune deploys apps.Platform SSO "Page not found" on macOS Tahoe 26.4 — Company Portal 5.2602
Environment: macOS Tahoe 26.4 Company Portal 5.2602.0 (latest as of April 2026) Microsoft Intune — Automated Device Enrollment (ADE) Platform SSO with Secure Enclave (UserSecureEnclaveKey) SSO Extension: com.microsoft.CompanyPortalMac.ssoextension / Team ID: UBF8T346G9 URLs configured: https://login.microsoftonline.com, https://login.microsoft.com, https://sts.windows.net Device: MacBook Pro 14" (Apple Silicon), supervised, ADE-enrolled Issue: During Platform SSO registration, after the user authenticates successfully in the SSO registration prompt, Company Portal crashes with a "Page not found" error. The registration never completes — no WPJ certificate is created, no SSO registration key is stored in the Secure Enclave. Console logs show: CompanyPortalMac: URL(filePath:) API misuse — usingass old file path API which does not support security scoped bookmarks The error occurs specifically at the token exchange step after authentication, suggesting the Company Portal binary is calling a deprecated macOS file URL API that Tahoe 26.4 now enforces more strictly. What we tried: Full wipe and re-enrollment via ADE Removing and reinstalling Company Portal via Intune Different user accounts Verified SSO extension profile is correctly applied (confirmed via profiles show -type configuration) Verified network connectivity to Microsoft identity endpoints Tested on a clean macOS Tahoe 26.4 install — same result Expected behavior: Platform SSO registration completes, WPJ certificate is created, and SSO token is cached for seamless authentication. Actual behavior: "Page not found" after authentication in the SSO registration flow. Console shows the URL(filePath:) API misuse warning. Registration fails silently — no error surfaced to the user beyond the page not found screen. Question: Is this a known bug in Company Portal 5.2602 with macOS Tahoe 26.4? Is there a newer build or hotfix addressing the URL(filePath:) deprecation? Any workaround available? Tags: Platform SSO, macOS, Company Portal, ADE, Intune
Automatically Sync SharePoint Document Libraries on macOS
Hi everyone, We manage macOS devices with Microsoft Intune and need to automatically sync one or more SharePoint document libraries to users' OneDrive, similar to how it's done on Windows using the Intune auto-sync policy. Has anyone successfully implemented this on macOS using Intune, Jamf Pro, configuration profiles, or a supported script? We're looking for a Microsoft-supported solution that minimizes or eliminates user interaction. Any guidance or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!Connect a second NDES server to enterprise CA
In preparation of the migration of our ~4500 MDM-devices from SCCM-Intune-Hybrid to Intune SA, I am trying to install a second NDES-server to be able to test and provide feature-parity before moving the first users. Anyone has an idea how to do so? Always get an error (during NDES setup wizard) stating, that the "endpoint is a duplicate". The same error can be found on the CA in the eventlog, but in my opinion, it should be able to connect to a CA from two servers, even as I use different system-users and also created a new cert-template for this purpos. Any thoughts on this are appreciated Thanks in advance Julius
App Protection: Custom app vs Partner app
Is there any functional difference in using an app protection policy to manage a public partner app versus a custom application? We have an app vendor that says they wrapped their app with the SDK but it is not on the partner list so we cannot pick it from the public app list. Which leaves us with the custom app option. Is the functionality the same? Will it show up on the app protection report, work with conditional access policies, other Microsoft solutions, etc.?

Hello! We have a huge problem... We have recently observed an issue in our organization affecting Android Fully Managed devices. After users change their domain password, within 1–3 days Conditional Access starts blocking access to Outlook and Teams. The system appears to treat the device as non-corporate, even though in Intune the device is still present, marked as corporate, and fully functional. It synchronizes both manually and automatically, and remote actions can be executed without any issues. However, when users open Outlook or Teams, they receive messages such as “We need to secure your device” and “Install the Intune app from Google Play,” which does not make sense because Intune is already installed on the device. When opening the Intune app, users see a “Update your password” prompt. After selecting it, they are redirected to a device registration screen. Previously, it was sometimes possible to complete this process (although we did not understand why it was required), but recently re-registration consistently fails. The user clicks “Register,” and the process spins indefinitely without completing. This issue is very difficult to troubleshoot. Device logs are not particularly helpful, and all users have Microsoft Authenticator configured. The problem appears randomly across users with no clear pattern—some devices were enrolled over a year ago, others just a month ago. The only clue we have found so far points to a potential issue with the broker authentication token, but we do not know how to verify or resolve this, nor why it is happening in the first place. We have been experiencing this issue since around January this year, but we noticed a significant increase in cases this month. In addition, there are more and more devices that can no longer be re‑registered from within the Intune app. Has anyone encountered a similar issue or can provide guidance on how to investigate or fix this?

In order of the implementation of O365/M365 and with it Microsoft Intune, Outlook for iOS has become the standard mail client on iOS devices for many customers today. This is due to the excellent user experience and the constant stream of new features implemented by Microsoft. From a security perspective, in addition to the provision on managed devices (managed by Intune), the secure use on unmanaged devices with MAM or App Protection Policies (APP) is a big argument for using Outlook for iOS. Currently, many ouf our customers are working on a BYOD setup for blue collar worker, who typically have a maximum of one email inbox. A big pain point for many users who use Outlook for iOS in an MAM-only setup (and for MDM setup with Intune) is the missing caller identification of Exchange Online (EXO) contacts. Outlook for iOS supports a one-way contact export process whereby contacts from within Outlook for iOS can be exported into the personal (unmanaged) part of the native iOS Contacts app. This means a contact must first be imported into the users personal contacts directory of EXO and then exported from Outlook for iOS to the native (unmanaged) iOS Contact app in order to see who is calling. This functionality enables Caller-ID, iMessage, and FaceTime integration for users’ Outlook contacts. The exported Outlook contacts are considered unmanaged and are accessible by unmanaged, personal apps. Especially for European customers who are subject to GDPR compliance, this is a no go, as personal data and company data must not be mixed. The unintentional outflow of contact data worthy of protection to commercial platforms, such as WhatsApp or Google, and the unintentional synchronization of address books with social media apps, represents a significant GDPR risk. Although the user's personal EXO contacts can be synchronized, there is currently no option to synchronize the GAL. Furthermore, there is currently no provision in Outlook for iOS to synchronize the GAL cyclically. The user has to add a GAL contact to his personal contacts as described above and then within the Outlook for iOS app export the contact to his native iOS contacts app to be able to see who is calling. To meet the GDPR compliance, we need to prevent the contact export. So this is not a solution. The question to ask is: Why does a user need to export a GAL/personal contact to their native iOS Contact app? There are already several paid app solutions that close exactly this gap (ebf Contacts, Secure Contacts, etc.) which offer more or less the same range of functions. The app builds a container and downloads the managed address books (GAL, personal) of the user and then enables the resolution of the CallerID or identification of the caller via the so-called Apple CallKit integration. Apple has been offering the so-called CallKit integration for years. With CallKit you can integrate your calling services with other call-related apps on the system. CallKit provides the calling interface, and you handle the back-end communication with your VoIP service. For incoming and outgoing calls, CallKit displays the same interfaces as the Phone app, giving your app a more native look and feel. CallKit also responds appropriately to system-level behaviors such as Do Not Disturb. In addition to handling calls, you can provide a Call Directory app extension to provide caller ID information and a list of blocked numbers associated with your service. When a phone receives an incoming call, the system first consults the user’s contacts to find a matching phone number. If no match is found, the system then consults your app’s Call Directory extension to find a matching entry to identify the phone number. This is useful for applications that maintain a contact list for a user that’s separate from the system contacts, such as a Outlook for iOS. For example, consider a user who is a colleague to Jane, but doesn’t have her phone number in their contacts. If the Outlook for iOS app has a Call Directory app extension, which downloads and adds the phone numbers of all of the user´s colleagues. When the user gets an incoming call from Jane, the system displays something like “(App Name, e.g. Outlook) Caller ID: Jane Appleseed” rather than “Unknown Caller”. The effort to integrate the Call Directory Extension is minimal and would solve many pain points from both a security and user experience perspective. Apple has documented CallKit excellently on the developer site: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/callkit With the possibility of using Apple CallKit in combination with Outlook for iOS and the contact synchronization (personal/GAL) of a managed EXO mailbox, the use of M365 in a BYOD scenario for customers Blue Collar workers will massively increase. Furthermore, the use of contact synchronization is then also possible for devices managed by Intune. This creates an outstanding user experience while increasing user adoption!
