I was chatting to someone recently and they were in this scenario, so I’m writing it up. There are lots of guides out there on how to do this, but I found that many of them were a little outdated due to changes in the Microsoft Store for Business. The scenario is you have recently…
This one landed into Microsoft Intune in June 2020 but I’ve found many customer aren’t aware of it, so I’m writing this up for reference. That’s a shame too because many customers have asked for this over the past few years. What I’m talking about is the capability to still have you IT admins manage…
I decided to write this post about Windows servicing based on many conversations I have with organisations of all kinds. Servicing of Microsoft Windows in many cases has been overlooked after that initial upgrade from earlier versions. Whilst many have engaged into the concept of servicing, many haven’t so I wanted to put an analogy…
This post is simply a step by step guide to help you set up the Intune Connector for Active Directory (to use its proper name) otherwise known as the AD hybrid join connector for Windows Autopilot. Whatever you’re calling it, it’s the connector that we need to install on one of our servers to act…
I was looking through what is new in Microsoft Intune and I’m really pleased to see the addition of bulk actions into the Microsoft Endpoint Manager admin console, it’s also there in the full Microsoft Intune blade in the Azure portal too.

Here’s a feature that I feel has fallen slightly under the radar hence I thought I would write about it. The ability to send custom notifications to mobile devices is really cool and has a lot of use cases as I’m sure you can image. To be clear, when we refer to custom notifications we…
I’ve been working with quite a bit of Android device management recently, of course with Microsoft Intune. Since Microsoft added support for Android Fully Managed in particular, I’ve seen a spike in demand. It seems like companies had Intune licences and Android devices, but not a great story to tie the two. Just my observations…
Top tip time If you’re searching for groups in Intune/Azure AD/M365 Device Management portal. It’s not a very effective search. Example, searching MDM finds these: Searching “Android” finds nothing despite it clearly being there. Make sure you use the Preview for groups experience And now it works… Moral of the story, use the preview for…
I recently did a speaking session on Microsoft Bots and wanted to put some links up here instead of people scrambling to take note. Hopefully there will have been a QR code that landed you here. As I work more with this technology and find useful articles I will add them in here. Build a…
