App management

Intune migrating from SafetyNet Attestation API to Google Play Integrity API

Google has deprecated the SafetyNet Attestation API and replaced it with the Play Integrity API. Intune will be migrating to the new API for app protection policies. The “SafetyNet device attestation” setting name will be updated to align with the new Google Play Integrity API for all policies in the Intune user interface (UI). For related information, see Discontinuing the SafetyNet Attestation API and Migrating from the SafetyNet Attestation API.

View app report for Android Enterprise corporate-owned devices

You'll be able to view a report containing all apps found on a device for Android Enterprise corporate-owned scenarios, including system apps. This report will be available in the Microsoft Intune admin center by selecting Apps > Monitor > Discovered apps. You will see Application Name and Version for all apps detected as installed on the device.

Advanced application management

Advanced application management provides you with an enterprise catalog of applications that are easily accessible. It also provides application update capabilities. The enterprise catalog is planned to be available in public preview in late Q2 2023. The application update capabilities are planned to be available in early Q3 2023.

Company Portal automatically installed on Android Enterprise dedicated devices

Intune Company Portal will now be automatically installed on all Android Enterprise dedicated devices to ensure the appropriate handling of app protection policies. Users won't be able to see or launch the Company Portal, and there are no requirements for users to interact with it. Admins will notice that the Company Portal is automatically installed on their Android Enterprise dedicated devices, without the ability to uninstall.

Uninstall Win32 apps in the Company Portal

The time frame for the release of this update is still being determined.

Users will be able to uninstall Win32 apps in the Company Portal. If a Win32 app can be uninstalled by the user, the user will be able to select Uninstall for the Win32 app in the Company Portal. For more information about Win32 apps, go to Win32 app management in Microsoft Intune.

Support for multi-SIM iOS/iPadOS device inventory

You'll be able to view the service subscription fields on devices that have multiple SIM cards installed under the per-device Hardware section. The inventory fields that are capable of reporting multiple values to Intune are:

  • ICCID
  • IMEI
  • MEID
  • Phone number

These fields will default to using labels returned by the device, such as: Primary, Secondary, CTSubscriptionSlotOne, and CTSubscriptionSlotTwo. These returned labels may be displayed in the language of the local device that is reporting its inventory to Intune.

Applies to:

  • iOS/iPadOS

Device configuration

Device enrollment

Apple Account Driven User Enrollment available for iOS/iPadOS 15+ devices

Intune will support Apple Account Driven User Enrollment, a new and improved variation of Apple User Enrollment for iOS/iPadOS 15+ devices. The new option will utilize just-in-time-registration, which eliminates the need for the Company Portal app during enrollment. Device users can initiate enrollment directly in the Settings app, resulting in a shorter and more efficient onboarding experience. You can continue to target iOS/iPadOS devices using the existing profile-based User Enrollment method with Company Portal. Devices running iOS/iPadOS, version 14.8.1 and earlier will be unaffected by this update and can also continue to use the existing method.

Device management

Update to Endpoint Privilege Management reports

Intune's Endpoint Privilege Management (EPM) reports will support exporting the full reporting payload to a CSV file. This will allow you to export all events from an elevation report in Intune.

On-demand proactive remediation for a Windows device

A new device action that is in public preview allows you to run a proactive remediation on-demand to a single Windows device. The Run remediation device action will allow you to resolve issues without having to wait for a proactive remediation to run on its assigned schedule. You'll also be able to view the status of proactive remediations under Remediations in the Monitor section of a device.

Device security

Microsoft Defender for Endpoint Settings Management enhancements

Microsoft Defender for Endpoint Settings Management will expand platform support for Linux Servers and macOS channel. This applies to the Linux and macOS Antivirus policy templates found in Endpoint Security > Antivirus. In addition, onboarding devices to Microsoft Defender for Endpoint settings management will be simplified to no longer have Azure AD Hybrid Join be a management pre-requisite for existing and new policies. You'll also be able to create, edit, and find all Intune Endpoint Security policies through the Microsoft Defender for Endpoint portal.

Monitor and troubleshoot

Microsoft Intune troubleshooting pane is now generally available

The Intune troubleshooting pane is now generally available. It will provide details about user's devices, policies, applications, and status. The troubleshooting pane will include the following information:

  • A summary of policy, compliance, and application deployment status.
  • Support for exporting, filtering, and sorting all reports.
  • Support to filter by excluding policies and applications.
  • Support to filter to a user’s single device.
  • Details about available device diagnostics and disabled devices.
  • Details about offline devices that haven't checked-in to the service for three or more days.

You can find the troubleshooting pane in Microsoft Endpoint Manager admin center by selecting Troubleshooting + support > Troubleshoot.

Notices

These notices provide important information that can help you prepare for future Intune changes and features.

Plan for Change: Ending support for Microsoft Store for Business and Education apps

In April 2023, we'll begin ending support for the Microsoft Store for Business experience in Intune. This occurs in several stages. For more information, see: Adding your Microsoft Store for Business and Education apps to the Microsoft Store in Intune

How does this affect you or your users?

If you're using Microsoft Store for Business and Education apps:

  1. On April 30, 2023, Intune will disconnect Microsoft Store for Business services. Microsoft Store for Business and Education apps won't be able to sync with Intune and the connector page will be removed from the Intune admin center.
  2. On June 15, 2023, Intune will stop enforcing online and offline Microsoft Store for Business and Education apps on devices. Downloaded applications remain on the device with limited support. Users may still be able to access the app from their device, but the app won't be managed. Existing synced Intune app objects remain to allow admins to view the apps that had been synced and their assignments. Additionally, you'll not be able to sync apps via the Microsoft Graph API syncMicrosoftStoreForBusinessApps and related API properties will display stale data.
  3. On September 15, 2023, Microsoft Store for Business and Education apps will be removed from the Intune admin center. Apps on the device remain until intentionally removed. The Microsoft Graph API microsoftStoreForBusinessApp will no longer be available about a month later.

Note that the retirement of Microsoft Store for Business and Education was announced in 2021. When the Microsoft Store for Business and Education portals are retired, admins will no longer be able to manage the list of Microsoft Store for Business and Education apps that are synced or download offline content from the Microsoft Store for Business and Education portals.

How can you prepare?

We recommend adding your apps through the new Microsoft Store app experience in Intune. If an app isn't available in the Microsoft Store, you need to retrieve an app package from the vendor and install it as a line-of-business (LOB) app or Win32 app. For instructions read the following articles:

Plan for Change: Ending support for Windows Information Protection

Microsoft Windows announced they're ending support for Windows Information Protection (WIP). The Microsoft Intune family of products will be discontinuing future investments in managing and deploying WIP. In addition to limiting future investments, we removed support for WIP without enrollment scenario at the end of calendar year 2022.

How does this affect you or your users?

If you have enabled WIP policies, you should turn off or disable these policies.

How can you prepare?

We recommend disabling WIP to ensure users in your organization do not lose access to documents that have been protected by WIP policy. Read the blog Support tip: End of support guidance for Windows Information Protection for more details and options for removing WIP from your devices.

Plan for Change: Ending support for Windows 8.1

Microsoft Intune will be ending support for devices running Windows 8.1 on October 21, 2022. Additionally, the sideloading key scenario for line-of-business apps will stop being supported since it's only applicable to Windows 8.1 devices.

Microsoft strongly recommends that you move to a supported version of Windows 10 or Windows 11, to avoid a scenario where you need service or support that is no longer available.

How does this affect you or your users?

If you're managing Windows 8.1 devices those devices should be upgraded to a supported version of Windows 10 or Windows 11. There is no impact to existing devices and policies, however, you'll not be able to enroll new devices if they are running Windows 8.1.

How can you prepare?

Upgrade your Windows 8.1 devices, if applicable. To determine which users’ devices are running Windows 8.1 navigate to Microsoft Intune admin center > Devices > Windows > Windows devices, and filter by OS.

Additional information

Update your certificate connector for Microsoft Intune

As of June 1, 2022, Intune certificate connectors earlier than version 6.2101.13.0 may no longer work as expected and stop connecting to the Intune service. For more information on the certificate connector lifecycle and support see, Certificate Connectors for Microsoft Intune.

How does this affect you or your users?

If you're impacted by this change, see MC393815 in the Message center.

How can you prepare?

Download, install, and configure the latest certificate connector. For more information see, Install the Certificate Connector for Microsoft Intune.

To check which version of the certificate connector you are using, follow these steps:

  1. On a Windows Server running the Intune Certificate Connector, launch "Add or Remove programs".
  2. A list of installed programs and applications will be displayed.
  3. Look for an entry related to the Microsoft Intune Certificate Connector. There will be a "Version" associated with the connector. Note that names for older connectors may vary.

Plan for change: Intune is moving to support macOS 11.0 and higher later this year

Apple is expected to release macOS 13 (Ventura) later this year, Microsoft Intune, the Company Portal app and the Intune mobile device management agent will be moving to support macOS 11.0 and later. Since the Company Portal app for iOS and macOS are a unified app, this change will occur shortly after the release of iOS/iPadOS 16.

How does this affect you or your users?

This change only affects you if you currently manage, or plan to manage, macOS devices with Intune. This change might not affect you because your users have likely already upgraded their macOS devices. For a list of supported devices, see macOS Big Sur is compatible with these computers.

Note

Devices that are currently enrolled on macOS 10.15 or earlier will continue to remain enrolled even when those versions are no longer supported. New devices will be unable to enroll if they are running macOS 10.15 or earlier.

How can you prepare?

Check your Intune reporting to see what devices or users might be affected. Go to Devices > All devices and filter by macOS. You can add more columns to help identify who in your organization has devices running macOS 10.15 or earlier. Ask your users to upgrade their devices to a supported OS version.

Plan for change: Intune is moving to support iOS/iPadOS 14 and later

Later this year, we expect iOS 16 to be released by Apple. Microsoft Intune, including the Intune Company Portal and Intune app protection policies (APP, also known as MAM), will require iOS 14/iPadOS 14 and higher shortly after iOS 16’s release.

How does this affect you or your users?

If you're managing iOS/iPadOS devices, you might have devices that won't be able to upgrade to the minimum supported version (iOS/iPadOS 14).

Because Office 365 mobile apps are supported on iOS/iPadOS 14.0 and later, this change might not affect you. You've likely already upgraded your OS or devices.

To check which devices support iOS 14 or iPadOS 14 (if applicable), see the following Apple documentation:

Note

Userless iOS and iPadOS devices enrolled through Automated Device Enrollment (ADE) have a slightly nuanced support statement due to their shared usage. See https://aka.ms/ADE_userless_support for more information.

How can you prepare?

Check your Intune reporting to see what devices or users might be affected. For devices with mobile device management, go to Devices > All devices and filter by OS. For devices with app protection policies, go to Apps > Monitor > App protection status > App Protection report: iOS, Android.

To manage the supported OS version in your organization, you can use Microsoft Intune controls for both mobile device management and APP. For more information, see Manage operating system versions with Intune.

Plan for change: Intune is moving to support Android 8.0 and later in January 2022

Microsoft Intune will be moving to support Android version 8.0 (Oreo) and later for mobile device management (MDM) enrolled devices on or shortly after January 7, 2022.

How does this affect you or your users?

After January 7, 2022, MDM enrolled devices running Android version 7.x or earlier will no longer receive updates to the Android Company Portal or the Intune App. Enrolled devices will continue to have Intune policies applied but are no longer supported for any Intune scenarios. Company Portal and the Intune App will not be available for devices running Android 7.x and lower beginning mid-February; however, these devices won't be blocked from completing enrollment if the requisite app has been installed prior to this change. If you have MDM enrolled devices running Android 7.x or below, update them to Android version 8.0 (Oreo) or higher or replace them with a device on Android version 8.0 or higher.

Note

Microsoft Teams devices are not impacted by this announcement and will continue to be supported regardless of their Android OS version.

How can you prepare?

Notify your helpdesk, if applicable, of this upcoming change in support. You can identify how many devices are currently running Android 7.x or below by navigating to Devices > All devices > Filter. Then filter by OS and sort by OS version. There are two admin options to help inform your users or block enrollment.

Here's how you can warn users:

  • Create an app protection policy and configure conditional launch with a min OS version requirement that warns users.
  • Utilize a device compliance policy for Android device administrator or Android Enterprise and set the action for noncompliance to send an email or push notification to users before marking them noncompliant.

Here's how you can block devices running on versions earlier than Android 8.0:

  • Create an app protection policy and configure conditional launch with a min OS version requirement that blocks users from app access.
  • Utilize a device compliance policy for Android device administrator or Android Enterprise to make devices running Android 7.x or earlier noncompliant.
  • Set enrollment restrictions that prevent devices running Android 7.x or earlier from enrolling.

Note

Intune app protection policies are supported on devices running Android 9.0 and later. See MC282986 for more details.

Plan for change: Intune APP/MAM is moving to support Android 9 and higher

With the upcoming release of Android 12, Intune app protection policies (APP, also known as mobile application management) for Android will move to support Android 9 (Pie) and later on October 1, 2021. This change will align with Office mobile apps for Android support of the last four major versions of Android.

Based on your feedback, we've updated our support statement. We're doing our best to keep your organization secure and protect your users and devices, while aligning with Microsoft app lifecycles.

Note

This announcement doesn't affect Microsoft Teams Android devices. Those devices will continue to be supported regardless of their Android OS version.

How does this affect you or your users?

If you're using app protection policies (APP) on any device that's running Android version 8.x or earlier, or you decide to enroll any device that's running Android version 8.x or earlier, these devices will no longer be supported for APP.

APP policies will continue to be applied to devices running Android 6.x to Android 8.x. But if you have problems with an Office app and APP, support will request that you update to a supported Office version for troubleshooting. To continue to receive support for APP, update your devices to Android version 9 (Pie) or later, or replace them with a device on Android version 9.0 or later before October 1, 2021.

How can you prepare?

Notify your helpdesk, if applicable, about this updated support statement. You also have two admin options to warn users:

Upgrade to the Microsoft Intune Management Extension

We've released an upgrade to the Microsoft Intune Management Extension to improve handling of Transport Layer Security (TLS) errors on Windows 10 devices.

The new version for the Microsoft Intune Management Extension is 1.43.203.0. Intune automatically upgrades all versions of the extension that are earlier than 1.43.203.0 to this latest version. To check the version of the extension on a device, review the version for Microsoft Intune Management Extension in the program list under Apps & features.

For more information, see the information about security vulnerability CVE-2021-31980 in the Microsoft Security Response Center.

How does this affect you or your users?

No action is required. As soon as the client connects to the service, it automatically receives a message to upgrade.

Update to Endpoint Security antivirus Windows 10 profiles

We've made a minor change to improve the antivirus profile experience for Windows 10. There's no user effect, because this change affects only what you'll see in the UI.

How does this affect you or your users?

Previously, when you configured a Windows security profile for the Endpoint Security antivirus policy, you had two options for most settings: Yes and Not configured. Those settings now include Yes, Not configured, and a new option of No.

Previously configured settings that were set to Not configured remain as Not configured. When you create new profiles or edit an existing profile, you can now explicitly specify No.

In addition, the setting Hide the Virus and threat protection area in the Windows Security app has a child setting, Hide the Ransomware data recovery option in the Windows Security app. If the parent setting is set to Not configured and the child setting is set to Yes, both the parent and child settings are set to Not configured. That change takes effect when you edit the profile.

How can you prepare?

No action is needed. However, you might want to notify your helpdesk about this change.

Plan for change: Intune is ending Company Portal support for unsupported versions of Windows

Intune follows the Windows 10 lifecycle for supported Windows 10 versions. We're now removing support for the associated Windows 10 Company Portals for Windows versions that are out of the Modern Support policy.

How does this affect you or your users?

Because Microsoft no longer supports these operating systems, this change might not affect you. You've likely already upgraded your OS or devices. This change only affects you if you're still managing unsupported Windows 10 versions.

Windows and Company Portal versions that this change affects include:

  • Windows 10 version 1507, Company Portal version 10.1.721.0
  • Windows 10 version 1511, Company Portal version 10.1.1731.0
  • Windows 10 version 1607, Company Portal version 10.3.5601.0
  • Windows 10 version 1703, Company Portal version 10.3.5601.0
  • Windows 10 version 1709, any Company Portal version

We won't uninstall these Company Portal versions, but we will remove them from the Microsoft Store and stop testing our service releases with them.

If you continue to use an unsupported version of Windows 10, your users won't get the latest security updates, new features, bug fixes, latency improvements, accessibility improvements, and performance investments. You won't be able to co-manage users by using System Center Configuration Manager and Intune.

How can you prepare?

In the Microsoft Intune admin center, use the discovered apps feature to find apps with these versions. On a user's device, the Company Portal version is shown on the Settings page of the Company Portal. Update to a supported Windows and Company Portal version.
