Imagine the next scenario: You have a customer with the need for Microsoft 365 Apps but some of the employees need the 32-bit apps instead of the 64 bits apps. How are you going to make sure all new and some existing devices will get the version of the Office 365 Apps they need. I couldn’t find much information about deploying 64 bits and 32 bits Office apps and how to make sure the proper device would get the right…
This blog will be about the new settings catalog and some background info from the client’s perspective. The possibility to configure settings by simply selecting the settings with a GUI instead of manually creating your own custom-made settings (Configuration Service Provider) can be great. I am not going to show you how to manually create this new settings catalog, Microsoft does a very good job in explaining it. Create a policy using settings catalog in Microsoft Intune – Azure |…
This short blog will be about a setting that still can cause problems. Fast startup was introduced in Windows 8 and is turned on by default if applicable. I totally forgot about this setting when deploying the modern workplace. It’s really nice your device has a fast startup, but it has some cons when you have configured Windows update like stated in step 6 from the Windows 10 in cloud configuration guide. Windows 10 in cloud configuration (microsoft.com) These steps…

Source: In development – Microsoft Intune | Microsoft Docs Also look at the possibility to restart an app install!. That’s great. But as these features are in development, we don’t have the option to collect logs remotely. Luckily Solarwinds has a remote background feature, which allows you to gather some event logs remotely….
This blog will be about the Bitlocker recovery key and some proactive remediation (and some background information about how it works) Bitlocker is one of the many security measures you will need to implement to make sure the data is safe when a device is stolen. One of the downsides are the support tickets that could be created when a user simply does not remember their password anymore and tried it too many times. Luckily in a normal situation, you…
Different week, different use case. This blog will be about the impossibility of having GMAIL as your Email client in combination with android work profiles and Conditional Access. Why not using Outlook? That’s indeed a very good question, as Gmail is also not an approved app. I guess users are just used to work with the Gmail app. They prefer the Gmail calendar notifications instead of the Outlook calendar notifications. Of course, we advised to start using Outlook, but the…
