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.
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.
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.?

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!

Hi All, We have come across an incident where we need to exclude a device from a device compliance policy after the device got non-compliant according as per the policy. We have exclude the specific user from the compliance policy to meet the requirement (we have assigned the policy to user groups). However, the issue is that the device not get back to the compliant state event after passed 4 days. I would appreciate if anyone could help me here to manually get the device into the compliant state. Please note that, when we go to specific device > device compliance policies, we are not able to see the compliance policy anymore and other applied policies in complaint state (refer image01). However, the device is still showing as non-compliant in devices in Intune (refer image 02). Last checking time is continuously updating as well. Further, We have tried below troubleshooting but there is no luck yet. We are not still take a remote session to the device yet as we have some challenges to get a remote session from the end user. Sync the device from Intune Portal. remotely login into the PowerShell of the device and run below command. Start-Process -FilePath "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Intune Management Extension\Microsoft.Management.Services.IntuneWindowsAgent.exe" -ArgumentList "intunemanagementextension://synccompliance" Image01 We are not able to see the excluded compliance policy under policy name anymore and the all the applied policies are in complaint state as below. Image02 Thanks in advance DilaniOS managed contacts - how to deal with that?
Hi everyone, the last years i've already tried to solve the problem with the managed contacts. Because this was not possible earlier i forgot about that. Now i want to readress this issue. A very important article i've found is this one: Techcommunity Success: New contact sync scenario available with Outlook for iOS on enrolled devices With this thread i would like to discuss some unanswered questions of myself. I would really appreaciate any answer of you guys. 🙂 Goals: Business contacts should be able to be read through contacts app (because of caller-id) 3rd Party Messengers should not see these business contacts Thesises: It is not possible to achive this with Outlook for iOS and it's contact sync feature, right? (Because of these contacts are going to be synced through icloud, therefore these contacts are marked as "unmanaged contacts.) It is possible to achive these goals by using: an device configuration profile which configures an active sync account which only synchronizes the contacts of the users mailbox. These contacts are considdered as "managed contacts" an app configuration profile which disables the "sync contacts" feature for "outlook for ios" An App protection policy which disables "Viewing corporate documents in unmanaged apps Because of the fact this is only working for enrolled and managed devices, we need to tell the users: Caller identification is only possible if you enroll your device in Intune. (in relation to the previous points) So far, so good, but the bad news is: Because of the incopatibility with conditional access policies, we're hence not able to restrict the user from using other apps to connect their EXO account. Right? I would be very thankful if anyone can discuss this with me. (I think the best way to adress the different topics is to quote my post and answer inline.) Greetings, Patrick
Autopilot Pre Provisioning Stuck at Device Setup
Hello Everyone, I was trying to use Autopilot Preprovisioning for Windows 10 devices that we would like to setup before we deliver it to our end user. We were getting correct Intune Autopilot profile Once we click on Pre provisioning Device Prepration completed in 2 minutes then Device setup never completed and stuck on Identifying for 60 minutes As my ESP setting is set to 60 minute. I am getting that red screen mentioning that provisioning can not be completed. however that device is visible in Endpoint portal with correct name template as per Autopilot profile Not sure why it is getting stuck at Device Setup Unable to identify Apps Configuration profile network Your advise on this issue would be really appreciable. I have tried it on OOBE device and existing device that met all the pre requisite.Protect org data on BYOD Windows / macOS devices
Hi All I hope you are well. Anyway, I have a need to protect org data on: Window personal / BYOD devices MacOS personal / BYOD devices What's the best way to achieve this? My thinking is: 1 X Conditional Access policy that blocks 1 X Conditional Access policy that allows via Edge, no persistent session, no downloads etc Device filter on both policies that target unmanaged devices Any other suggestions? SKWhich Entra account are you supposed to use to connect to a managed Google Play account?
At Connect Intune account to managed Google Play account - Microsoft Intune | Microsoft Learn, it says: We recommend using the Microsoft Entra account you're signed into to create the Google Admin account. So I used my Entra account to set it up. Now, though, when I look at the Managed Google Play item in Intune under Devices > Android > Enrollment, it has my email address under "Linked account". Was I supposed to create a shared Entra account to make this connection? What happens when I leave the org?
