Re: Autopilot, Co-Management and ESP Timeouts (and BITS too)
Paul_Isaac , I've run into same problem and the Primary Site server was guilty. It is responsible for client registration in the hierarchy, only. The SMS_EXECUTIVE crashed, registration failed, ESP failed. The connection analyzer was still showing green, but it is checking the Management Points. We have our Primary running in HA, one of the pre-requisites is to move MP to different server. Existing clients are talking to MPs, they were not affected, even application deployment or task-sequences were working as normal. CMG Connection Points are talking to MPs only as well. It is not a question of bandwidth on client side, the internal infra must work properly, especially the Primary must be in good shape.493Views0likes0CommentsRe: Windows Store for Business / Windows 11
Jason_Sandys Is it wise to disable "Connectors and tokens | Microsoft Store for Business" in Intune already now? Are those legacy "Microsoft Store for Business app" synchronized to the Intune apps list will disappear automatically this way or will that happen when the Business Store for Business is EOL on MS side?13KViews0likes1CommentRe: Windows Store for Business / Windows 11
JS-80 , I only can tell you what I've been done so far We had Apps workload already shifted. This month we shifted the Click-2-Run apps workload. For that we deployed Company Portal to all machines as it needed to install Office apps from now I removed all apps from the Windows Store for Business and added them via Intune as "Store App (new)" ALL Windows users can utilize the Company Portal to install apps from Store, SCCM and Intune, so it doesn't matter anymore if Windows 11 users cannot use the private store. Jason_Sandys , why is the icon not pulled from the store while creating the new store app ? Need to manually upload a graphic ....14KViews0likes3CommentsRe: Restrict users to rename pc
I stumbled across this post as I realized the same with one of my users. It was an Autopilot device and we set standard user in the deployment profile. But he really renamed the device via the settings app, it showed renamed in Intune (while rename in Company Portal is just there). It turned out that the timeframe from importing the hash until the deployment profile was assigned was longer than user started OOBE. In Intune the deployment profile name was missing in the hardware section. Talking to the user, the OOBE was different, e.g giving it a name, even though it ended up with our device name pattern. Just saying we used Autopilot is not proof that it is working as expected, the user was still admin. As the deployment profile was assigned in the meantime, resetting/wiping the device, and starting from nothing had the expected OOBE & ESP, standard user was the result and user is not able to change computer name anymore.14KViews0likes1CommentRe: Windows Store for Business / Windows 11
While moving 15000 clients from on-premises management to Intune you do it slowly and workload by workload, having some pilot for each in between. The apps workload is one of the easiest to move the slider but then you need to decide what to offer to end users. They used Windows Store App and Software Center, you need to deploy the company portal if you want to have self-service for apps install available only in Intune (required assignments from Intune are working without CP). ConfigMgr you can switch to use Company Portal as front end. At the end, the Company Portal will be the only "client" and superseding Store App and Software Center for us. Just needs effective communication to end users and at the end you always talk about Company Portal regardless the platform.15KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Windows Store for Business / Windows 11
That's exactly why we blocked the "public" store and used the Business Store with Win10. Windows 11 and the "new" store was a game changer as Intune is needed as a workaround and we weren't ready with the Apps workload to be shifted and deploying company portal. Our Win11 devices are going this route now - while waiting for the replacement of the business feature but you're working on it 🙂15KViews0likes4CommentsRe: Windows Store for Business / Windows 11
The updated Store App on Windows 11 doesn't support the Store for Business, that's why policy entirely blocks the store while the Store App on Windows 10 behaves as known. For Windows 11 devices you need to make the apps available through Intune. You see them synced in the Apps pane for Windows devices, assign them as e.g. available for enrolled device Company Portal instead of Store App to be used for installing them16KViews0likes6CommentsWrong keyboard layout at login screen
Today we had high amount of service desk calls about users cannot login to their device due to "wrong" password. It turned out that UK keybaord layout has been set somehow and cannot be switched to something else while the users themsleves have en-US layout "inside" the OS which is en-US as well. Before Logon; en-UK After Logon; en-US That cause some trouble with special characters in the password. The only thing we've seen is that March cumulative update KB5011487 and Update for 21H1 KB4023057 have been installed the day before. Just taking the opportunity to ask here if something known81KViews3likes19CommentsRe: Windows Store for Business / Windows 11
I know, we've till set this policy which ends up in error "Microsoft Store is blocked, Check with your IT Administrator" 😉 as it cannot reach out to the Windows Store for Business. But this prevents simple apps like Sticky Notes to update19KViews0likes2CommentsWindows Store for Business / Windows 11
As an enterprise customer we cannot allow the users to have the Windows Store available, Windows Store for Business was a good solution on Windows 10 as we could fine grained offer certain apps. Windows 11 doesn't support it anymore, Joe's post from Mid of 2021 is outdated and vage about the future. If we block the store, the built-in apps won't upgrade anymore unless they are covered in cumulative updates. We cannot offer our favorite apps anymore. Offering such apps via Intune (synced from Windows Store for Business) requires co-managed devices managed by Intune (at least MECM app workload) but doesn't solve the app updates itself afterwards. Rigth now this is a show stopper to implement Windows 11 (we have 8000 comaptible devices) What is the roadmap for such sceanrio ?20KViews2likes19CommentsRe: Microsoft Defender ATP now in preview on Windows 10 Enterprise multi-session
gadmin285 There is no counter in the script, 1-10 computers is just a recommendation, preventing you from being sneaker admin. I'm running the script from a network share through the "Run PowerShell script" from Azure VM portal (removed the lines about confirmation) whenever we roll-out new WVD. So far we have more than 40 machines onboarded with same script.17KViews0likes5Comments
