Last week Microsoft updated their Intune cloud services with the April service update. This April service update (5.0.5118.0) introduces a lot of new features which were recently announced by the Microsoft Intune team. More details on this can be found here.

Most of you are familiar with the fact it can take up to 24-hours until the Intune extensions finally comes down in your Configuration Manager 2012 R2 instance. Initially there is no method for forcing the extensions to come down. Especially working with customers engagements (proof of concepts) it is very annoying to have to wait a day before you can enable these extensions.

The Microsoft Intune Product Team did a great job to speed up this process, which comes with the April update. The time it takes when Intune extensions comes down into your Configuration Manager 2012 R2 instance is significantly improved. By shorten the interval at the backend new tenants should be able to see extensions within 10 mins after connector role has been setup successfully. For the extensions published after installation, it is up to 6 hours.

As all roads lead to Rome there are many ways to assign Enterprise Mobility Suite (EMS) licenses to end-users. This can be a manual process or automated by using PowerShell. Both options have in common that you must be a global administrator of your Azure subscription to assign these licenses.

The majority of the available public resources and publications describes the (manual) process bassed on per user- or group assignment through the Azure Management Portal. Downside of assigning EMS licenses through the Azure Management Portal or by PowerShell is that you must be a member of the global administrator user role. A right you want to keep to a limited number of accounts, further these accounts are often not responsible for such tasks as assigning licenses.

I’m very excited having the opportunity to meet the product teams on Enterprise Mobility Suite (EMS) during a 4-day stay in Redmond (WA) next week! As my employer Inovativ is participating in the Red Carpet Program we’re invited to join the Enterprise Mobility airlift. An airlift is an event which outlines new features being released in a new wave/product release. This airlift includes deep dive sessions on Azure AD Premium, Microsoft Intune and Azure RMS. As Microsoft Partner we’ll be lined up with the latest technology and have the chance to discuss and provide feedback on the components involved with the Enterprise Mobility Suite.

Further I’m looking foward to meet some community friends in person like Mr. ‘IoT’ and ‘Enterprise Mobility’ Rob Tiffany. I let me assure that the coffee is ready at Satya’s office ;-)

So I challenge you to collect your best feedback and questions on Azure AD Premium, Microsoft Intune, Azure Rights Management and bring it on, I’ll forward them to the PG’s! You can drop me a line by Twitter, Facebook or by e-mail

On By Ronny de JongIn Enterprise Mobility, Enterprise Mobility Suite, Microsoft Intune, Windows Phone 8.13 Comments

With the December update of Microsoft Intune a cool feature OMA-URI support has been added. This seemingly small feature introduces ‘endless’ management capabilities and scenario’s which allows you to take full advantage of managing Windows Phone devices with Microsoft Intune. This is useful when the setting you need is not configurable in a mobile device security policy.

A good example is to block the removal of Workplace of your managed Windows Phones. By default users are able to un-enroll their devices and thus become unmanaged.  In this blog I’ll show you how to prevent un-enrollement and the ability to factory reset Windows Phone device by an OMA-URI policy template.
