A question was recently asked about how to set the wallpaper fit with Intune (fill, stretch, tile, etc.). This reminded me of a previous blog post about setting the background and lock screen on Windows 10 Pro devices with Intune (you can see that post here).

A client I recently worked with wanted to make sure only compliant devices could access corporate resources. This is a fairly common request and implementation, but they also wanted a compliance policy to make sure certain security applications were installed.
