I no longer have an edit button for assignments on one EndpointSec>DiskEncrypt>Bitlocker profiles
I have two Intune>Endpoint Security>Disk Encryption>Bitlocker policies. One is the 2+ year old deprecated policy everyone is currently on, and the other is a new policy I made two months ago. I am in the process of testing to move the company from old to new. Old policy no longer has an "Edit" button for group assignments and exclusions, much like when you don't have permissions. However, I am still able to edit the actual policy. Has anyone seen this or can help with this? Attached picture. I am using Intune Administrator permissions, and again, it's not a permissions issue as I can edit the actual policy. I have tried different browsers. I have tried another computer. The policy is scoped to default. I was last able to edit group assignments 10/25/25 Solution right now will just be to delete the old profile and move to new with no more testing. Thank you in advance, -ZPKnown issue: Customizations not saved with security baseline policy update
Overview Microsoft Intune security baselines enable organizations to create turnkey policy configurations with Microsoft's recommended settings. Intune supports two upgrade paths for your customizations: automatic migration and manual migration. Our upgrade process is explicit when a manual customization upgrade is required as documented in Configure security baseline policies in Microsoft Intune | Microsoft Learn. Issue Identified in Security Baseline Updates We’ve recently identified an issue in the security baseline update process where, during upgrades from specific versions, customizations are not automatically retained. Instead, these values are replaced with the default recommended values contained in the latest release. The impacted baselines upgrades are as follows: Security Baseline for Microsoft Edge: Version 112 to Version 128 Security Baseline for Windows 10 and later: Version 23H2 to Version 24H2 Windows 365 Security Baseline: November 2021 to Version 24H1 Microsoft Defender for Endpoint Security Baseline: Version 6 to Version 24H1 Microsoft 365 Apps for Enterprise Security Baseline: Version 2206 to Version 2306 When updating these security baselines, Intune creates a duplicate policy (without assignments) and automatically populates Microsoft’s recommended settings for the new version. These default configurations can be edited to apply customizations. However, customizations are not automatically carried over from the previous version when updating and admins will need to manually apply the customizations when creating the new profile. If your organization deploys the new policy alongside the existing one and there are conflicting settings, Intune’s conflict resolution logic will determine which setting is applied (i.e. most secure wins, merge values), or leave the existing value in place until the conflict is resolved. In the event of conflict, Intune never removes policies from the device ensuring that devices always have security policy applied. The Intune team will be delivering an update to automate migration of the impacted security baselines (and all future versions) in an upcoming release. Interim Steps to Enable Custom Configurations in your Baseline Updates When updating a policy to a newer baseline, your customizations must be recreated in the policy creation wizard. Customizations to the version 23H2 baseline are not carried over to the new policy, and the new policy will revert to Microsoft’s default recommended values for version 24H2. Note: As mentioned above and reiterated here, this update does not remove the previous policy. > Security baselines blade. Organizations can upgrade an existing baseline (mentioned above) that will duplicate the profile: The Microsoft Intune admin center showing where to update the Security baseline. Organizations can customize baselines including modifying and editing the baseline in accordance with their organization’s policies: To identify devices with conflicts between baseline updates, refer to the steps below: Navigate to: Devices > Manage devices > Configuration > Policiestab and select an existing policy. On the summary page, click View report. The View report provides detailed insights into the devices targeted by the selected configuration policy, including: Devices that have received the policy Usernames associated with those devices The check-in status and the most recent time each device/user checked in with the policy You can also select a specific device to view more detailed information. Use the filter column to apply assignment filters. For example, the Check-in status filter helps you identify devices in different states such as Success, Error, and others - indicating how the policy was applied. For more information on policies and reporting, refer to: See device configuration policies with Microsoft Intune | Microsoft Learn. For further guidance, refer to the Update a profile to the latest version in the Microsoft Learn documentation or see the section above for more details on the baseline update process.

By: Ravi Ashok - Sr. Product Manager & Zineb Takafi - Product Manager | Microsoft Intune Microsoft Security Copilot in Intune advances the way IT admins can accelerate their day-to-day endpoint management tasks by embedding generative AI capabilities directly into your Intune workflows, transforming how IT teams plan, troubleshoot, and optimize device configurations. Now generally available, Copilot in Intune delivers insights by summarizing policies, analyzing update deployments, and assisting IT with uncovering root causes of endpoint issues based on organizations Intune data. Today, we’re thrilled to introduce an AI-first experience in the Intune admin center to allow IT admins to explore and act on Intune data with the ease of natural language. As part of our ongoing commitment to help IT teams manage endpoints more effectively, this new experience provides a new way to find data they need about their digital estate and initiate endpoint management tasks based on the results. With a library of queries and using intelligent semantic search, admins can select natural language questions across key Intune domains including devices, apps, policies, users, compliance, app configuration, and app protection and refine the question with customizable parameters. Within the Intune admin center, IT admins can go from insights to taking direct action by adding devices or users to groups for streamlined endpoint management. This release marks a significant milestone towards simplifying endpoint management and accelerating day to day tasks by enabling iterative, natural language query refinement and actionable insights with generative AI assistance to enhance operational efficiency and decision-making. Explore Intune data across your workloads The new Explorer experience with Copilot in Intune enables admins to have a consistent experience viewing details about their Intune resources. Whether they’re navigating devices (including Windows 365 cloud PCs, physical PCs, or mobile devices), apps, users, or policies, IT admins can ask custom questions in natural language about their Intune resource data. They can see and iterate on the results of those questions, and then complete management tasks in one streamlined workflow. Admins can click into individual objects in the results view and navigate to Intune resources like a device details page as they complete their work. This journey in Intune applies to many workflows including: Troubleshooting and fixing issues: Identifying and acting on a specific set of devices, users, apps, or policies to resolve an issue. Creating custom reports: Building custom data views to answer questions that typically require exporting and joining reports today. Day-to-day management tasks: As part of regular admin tasks, navigate Intune data to find specific resources and inspect them to ensure things are configured correctly. Demo In today’s cyber threat landscape, maintaining device compliance is critical to minimizing security risks and ensuring operational continuity. In this demo scenario, the Explorer experience is used to identify and act on non-compliant devices in real time. To enforce compliance, an IT admin plans to mark Windows devices as noncompliant if they haven’t installed patches in the last three months. Given the variety of Windows versions, they want to understand the impact of excluding these devices. Using Copilot, they simply ask the natural language question and get a list of impacted devices without advanced filtering of the versions for each operating system release. The functionality surfaces devices and apps that haven’t received critical patches and seamlessly add them to a remediation group. This streamlined workflow reduces time-to-action and supports proactive compliance enforcement at scale. By integrating directly with Intune policies and device groups, this capability empowers organizations to close vulnerability gaps swiftly. Demo: aka.ms/Intune/CopilotJuly2025-Demo What’s next The addition of the new Explorer experience marks a significant step forward in how organizations can harness the power of Copilot to interact with their Intune data.

Revoking elevated privileges in Endpoint Privilege Management
I found a thread from last year asking this question. When I revoke someone's elevated access in Intune Endpoint Privilege Management (removing them from the AD group linked to an Intune EPM policy) the "run with elevated access" option remains in the right click context menu. The post from last year said it can take hours for access to be removed but that the app was still in preview mode. This was over a year ago so I'm wondering if anyone from Microsoft or anyone can advise if this is now quicker or if there is a way to speed it up? We want to start a secondary proof of concept with multiple policies with different levels of access, but testing this would take so long if we're waiting 8+ hours each time we remove access. Thanks allMicrosoft Defender ATP onboarding support for Configuration Manager tenant attach
Microsoft is excited to announce another step in the deep integration between Microsoft Endpoint Manager and Microsoft Defender ATP. Microsoft Defender ATP onboarding capabilities are now available in the Endpoint Manager console for deployment to Configuration Manager standalone clients.
Endpoint Security shows clients as unhealthy and device name not shown after Update 2303
Hi together, Endpoint Security shows almost all clients as unhealthy and the device name is not shown after Update Config Manager Version 2303. Any ideas? On SCCM and Security Center everthing is working fine and displayed as normal. Thanks for support and a happy weekend to all. Peter
Replacing Win 10 Security Profile with another creates conflict
Hi all, I've created a new test profile under Endpoint Security -> Antivirus for Defender, lets call it "AV-New". I've created a new device group called TestDevices and excluded the group from the current "AV-Current" policy. So, AV-NEW assigned to only TestDevices and AV-Current assigned to All, excluding TestDevices. Checking in on my AV-New policy, I can see there is a conflict. Going to Device Status -> Selecting the Device -> Windows Defender Antivirus, I can see each setting seems to have 2 entries. (screenshots attached) Selecting a setting with a conflict, i.e. scan emails shows two profiles assigned, AV-New and AV-Current. The profiles/device has been in this state for over a week. Why is this the case, even though I've excluded the device from AV-Current? How can I remove a profile - i.e. AV-Current for this device? Thanks heaps.
