Azure AD group for Autopilot devices except specific group tag

A very short post to share here based on something I was asked recently. The query below will present you ALL devices which ARE registered for Windows Autopilot, but excluding ones with a specific group tag. I’m sharing this one as it’s not quite as obvious as you may immediately think and it might save…

ConfigMgr Autopilot Hardware Hash report by collection

In Configuration Manager Current Branch* we have a report which automatically gathers the Windows Autopilot hardware hashes and other information. This allows us to handily export the report into a CSV and hey presto it’s in the correct format to upload straight into Autopilot. I wrote it up at the time of the tech preview…

ConfigMgr Console connection failure when VM restores from saved state

Hopefully, no one will ever need to read this, but I had a weird issue today. I’ve never had this before with Configuration Manager or any other app for that. I use a lab based on virtual machines and at the end of each day the VMs are put into a saved state as the…

Microsoft Store for Business not synchronising with Intune

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 There are lots of guides out there on how to do this, but I found that many of them were a little outdated due to changes in the Microsoft Store for Business.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…

Quick Tip: Microsoft Endpoint Manager URL

A very quick tip which I thought I would write down, simply because there are lots of people that don’t realise this. Many times people have seen me use this and didn’t realise it was possible. If you’re working across several Microsoft Endpoint Manager tenants, you know it can sometimes be a little confusing switching…

Enable Intune Administrators without a licence

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…

Windows 10 Servicing – The Car Analogy

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…

Autopilot Intune Connector for Active Directory

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…

Keeping in touch with Windows Toast Notifications–CoronaToast

Given the current situation many people face worldwide with the outbreak of Covid-19 at the time of writing this, it has led to an increase in people working from home. For many organisations this is not unusual but for lots of others it is and not everyone is geared up for this. As someone who…

Microsoft Endpoint Manager Bulk Device Actions

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. This means we can now perform an action such as a wipe, retire,…
