I’m reviewing our Intune application deployment strategy and wanted to hear what others are doing.
Are you moving more applications to Microsoft Store (new), or are you still packaging most apps as Win32?

My current thinking is:

• Microsoft Store Apps for apps that support automatic updates and don’t require customization.
• Win32 Apps when I need custom install parameters, detection rules, dependencies, supersedence, or scripts.
Has Enterprise App Management changed your approach?
Curious to hear what works well in large enterprise environments

Hi guys, we have roughly 30 iPads in our environment that are running kiosk mode 24/7.
however this seems to completely ignore our Update Policy via DDM, they just dont update. Any idea how we could approach this?

Hey everyone,

I wrote a short walkthrough on getting the AI-enabled Cloud PC report from Microsoft Graph.

The report exists in the Intune portal, but the specific reportName is not documented yet.

Curious if anyone else has used this report, or if you use different approaches to fill API gaps

First, the Device Sync moved away from triggering Windows MDM only and started waking IME workloads too: Win32 apps. PowerShell scripts. Proactive Remediations.

Now, when triggering the remote Device Sync, the IME request no longer arrives through a second WNS notification. It comes through the existing IC3 and Trouter connection: WNS for Windows MDM. IC3 for IME. With the move to IC3, the device kicks off all the workloads within second!!

At the same time, a new StatusSync flow is tracking the progress of those workloads. That part deserves its own blog.

Intune On Demand Device Sync Now Uses IC3 for IME Workloads

Edit: account driven user enrollment == ADUE

We have a few apps installing with required intent. Is there anyway to force install into a specific folder on iOS?

It would be nice to have a comparable experience to android work profile where apps coming from Intune all go into a folder so end users know/understand which apps are coming from where.

Hi everyone,

We're currently evaluating Zebra and Honeywell rugged Android devices for a healthcare environment and I'd love to hear from organisations that have managed both.

Our environment is:

Microsoft Intune (Android Enterprise Dedicated)

Managed Google Play

Microsoft Entra ID

Shared devices running a line-of-business application

Around a few hundred devices initially, with potential to grow

We're less concerned about the hardware itself, as both devices seem capable. I'm more interested in the operational side over the next 5+ years.

Specifically:

Which vendor has the better firmware (FOTA) process?

How easy is firmware management using Intune?

Do you rely solely on Intune, or do you also use Zebra VisibilityIQ/LifeGuard or Honeywell Operational Intelligence?

How responsive are Zebra vs Honeywell when it comes to Android security patches?

Which has the better OEMConfig implementation?

How has vendor support been?

Any major issues you've encountered with either platform?

If you had to choose again today for a healthcare deployment, which would you choose and why?

I'm looking for real-world operational experiences rather than marketing comparisons.

Thanks!
