Wrap up: Manage, Configure, and Secure Devices with Microsoft Endpoint Manager Post Day
Thanks to the thousands of people who attended our Post Day! A few housekeeping things ------------------------------------------------- You've asked about the recordings for the event. You should be able to still access the recordings for now by using the AKA links below. It will start Teams Live Events and you can just click Play to watch the whole thing. (and if that doesn't work, let me know!) We're working on the "greatest hits" complication, and we'll post that to the VideoHub when we get that. I'm working on cleaning up the decks for posting - there's some accessibility stuff I need to do - and then I'll attach them to this thread when I have them. We were thrilled with all the great feedback we got about the 24-hour, round-the-world marathon training we offered - and we'd still love more feedback! We've already announced there will be another Microsoft Ignite in March 2021 - should we do this again? If so, what topics should we cover? What should we change (besides the registration process)? Reply here! --------------------------------------------------- The product team for Microsoft Endpoint Manager usually does a pre-day event at Ignite but this year we're doing a post-day event the week after. We'll have two 4-hour Teams Live Events about how to get the most out of Microsoft Endpoint Manager. It's free! When you go to register, you'll see three options for each track to accommodate time zones around the world. Most of the dates are September 29, but depending on your time zone a session may show up on Sept 28 or Sept 30, so check all three dates to be sure. You don't need to take them in order and you can take anything that fits your schedule, even if you need to jump around the options. You'll get a calendar invite for a 4-hour block but here's how the blocks break down. (and I know some of you are getting an error message, so I'm including the direct links to the Teams Live Events down below - as long as you have that link it will connect you to the meeting, but until we start the session it will just sit there and say the meeting hasn't started yet.)

Request: Manage Apple Vision Pro with Intune MDM
Hi, At our company, some teams are working with Apple Vision Pro because they are hoping to find new technical solutions for the business. We would also like to include Apple Vision Pro in the management of our other mobile devices via Intune MDM. Since Apple has also offered an MDM interface for Apple Vision Pro with the visionOS 1.1 update, the glasses could in principle also be managed by an MDM, but the MDM must also support the glasses. Hence my question: When will this be possible via Intune MDM? As a company, we recently switched to Intune MDM with over 110,000 devices (both mobile devices and fat clients) and we are confident that Microsoft will also support new technical products (such as the Apple Vision Pro).Announcing Windows 10 in Cloud Configuration

Dear Microsoft Intune Friends, Imagine the following situation. You have invested several hours to build your Microsoft Endpoint Manager (Intune) infrastructure. After the final tests, everything is now working exactly as you imagined. Now the question arises how can I backup all these settings and configurations? I will answer this question in this article. Note: I will describe how to compare and restore the backup in a next article. https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-intune/compare-and-restore-a-microsoft-endpoint-manager-intune-backup/m-p/2993736 What we can do in the Microsoft Endpoint Manager portal is export configuration settings to a CSV file. However, this is not exactly what I wanted. To create a complete backup of our tenant we need the power of PowerShell (power of PowerShell - funny ) I used the PowerShell ISE for this configuration. But you are also very welcome to use Visual Studio Code, just as you wish. Please start with the following steps to begin the deployment (the Hashtags are comments): #The first two lines have nothing to do with the configuration, but make some space below in the blue part of the ISE Set-Location Clear-Host #Customize the ExecutionPolicy (absolutely OK for this demo) Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted #Install the Module Install-Module -Name Microsoft.Graph.Intune -Verbose -Force -AllowClobber #Install the Module Install-Module -Name MSGraphFunctions -Verbose -Force -AllowClobber #Import the Module Import-Module -Name MSGraphFunctions #Install the Module Install-Module -Name AzureAD -Verbose -Force -AllowClobber #Install IntuneBackupAndRestore from the PowerShell Gallery Install-Module -Name IntuneBackupAndRestore -Verbose -Force -AllowClobber #Update the Module Update-Module -Name IntuneBackupAndRestore -Verbose #Import the Module Import-Module IntuneBackupAndRestore #Connect to Microsoft Graph Connect-MSGraph Here you must agree to the extended permissions. #Create a folder New-Item -ItemType Directory -Path C:\Backup\IntuneBackup #Switch to the folder Set-Location C:\Backup\IntuneBackup #Create the Full-Backup Start-IntuneBackup -Path 'C:\Backup\IntuneBackup' It starts with the creation of the backup. #Let's look at the content Get-ChildItem -Path 'C:\Backup\IntuneBackup' Let's start Windows Explorer and navigate to our backup folder, Bingo....we have a complete backup! I know that was nothing spectacular, but I still wanted to share my experience with you. Thank you for taking the time to read this article. Kind regards, Tom Wechsler P.S. All scripts (#PowerShell, Azure CLI, #Terraform, #ARM) that I use can be found on github! https://github.com/tomwechslerUse PowerShell to retrieve all assigned Intune policies and applications per Azure AD group!
==>>A special thanks to Timmy Andersson for the PowerShell script!!<<== Dear Microsoft Intune Friends, In Microsoft Intune, it is possible to work with configuration profiles, among other things. OK, this is nothing new. But which Azure Active Directory groups have been assigned to the configuration profiles? I am confronted with this question again and again. This is where PowerShell comes into play. Let's explore this together. I used the PowerShell ISE for this configuration. But you are also very welcome to use Visual Studio Code, just as you wish.

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!
