App deployment is something just about every Intune admin must be comfortable with. Recently, most apps have become simpler to package and deploy. However, occasionally you’ll still have proprietary, legacy, or just poorly written apps that don’t contain silent installers or do things out of the ordinary. This was the case for an app I […]

The Issue As someone whose primary responsibility includes Endpoint Management, I received a question several weeks ago regarding managing Office add-ins on endpoints. Typically, Group Policy and/or Intune controlled this in the past. However, as things have changed with the M365 Apps over the last several years, so has managing the add-ins. Now, managing add-ins

Over the last few weeks, several posts have been made about the release of the Windows 11 24H2 security baselines. If you’re unfamiliar with security baselines, they’re a pre-configured set of security settings based on Microsoft’s best security practices. Applying all security baseline settings, especially in an existing environment, can cause chaos and problems for

Several weeks ago, I wrote a script and blog to bulk export Intune policies. That blog can be found here. What started as trying to export/import settings catalog policies in bulk evolved into more, and I added to the script to do more than just settings catalog policies. This is useful for people who often
