- There's "101 Ways to Skin a..." for updating Windows operating systems for enterprise customers = Intune/Desktop Analytics, Configuration Manager (Task Sequence, etc). Is there a 'preferred/recommended' of all these options (or the one that has the best success/least impact to the end user/most 'native' interaction w/ user)? Would be good to have a MS person review all these apps (go over the pros/cons/info/resources for each) in a video/publish for all customers to see. ....also it seems like the Desktop Analytics upgrade interface is cumbersome/not clear/hard to determine how many workstations are in 'pilot', 'production', which blockers/etc vs. the info/collections shown in Endpoint Configuration 'console'. Again, good to have someone from MS do a video on this.
JJNOE0928 thank you for the question.
First, I'd like to address that Desktop Analytics will be retired November 30th of 2022. Please see the following document for more information: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/configmgr/desktop-analytics/whats-new
Secondly, the use of Windows Update for Business polices deployed from Microsoft Endpoint Manager Configuration Manager or Microsoft Endpoint Manager Intune are the recommended current best practices. For more information on how to setup your deployment rings and Windows Update for Business policy settings, please refer to these documents:

- Windows 11 HAAD joined managed just with Intune and Windows 10 HAAD joined and co-managed with MECM and MBAM server. Can BitLocker work on them without creating any conflicts, without migrating from MBAM server to MECM for BitLocker on Windows 10?

If I understand correctly what you are asking, yes although for clarity, what's your intent for managing BitLocker on each set up devices? Intune only? Keep in mind that Intune and MBAM are two different ways of managing BitLocker. MBAM uses an agent and escrows recovery keys to a separate MBAM database while Intune does not use an agent and saves RKs to either AD or AAD (or both) depending on the domain join state of the device. Both MBAM and Intune configure the same settings on a device though as far as BitLocker is concerned. Conflicts arise when you attempt to manage the same settings from two different management authorities thus as long as you don't do this, you won't have any conflicts. Also, keep in mind that the domain join state of a device plays no part in management really -- just calling this out for clarity as well.- Sorry, BitLocker with Intune for Win11 and with MBAM server for Win10.

Now adding to the office crew are Christian Montoya, Jay Simmons, Phil Kinsley, and Carmen Forsmann. Bring on the Windows 365, public sector, and Delivery Optimization questions!
- Am curious as to the new requirement for these 2022 non-security preview releases to move to 22H2 and even moving from 10 to Win 11? ;-)
Mr. Backman!
From this past Tuesday's big Windows 11 release, there are a few blogs that speak to continuous innovation and the non-security preview releases:
