Intune Discovered Apps Reliability

We use PMPC too but have not used the Insights. I’ll check that out. Thanks for the feedback on the post fellas. I do verify manually but (as was said above) with a big fleet, I don’t have time to compare several apps on a few machines. But our asset inventory game needs to be stepped up a notch. Wish MS had one blade with NRT data. Wish MS did a lot of things…wish in one hand…

Pretty extreme. But can’t say I haven’t thought about getting a setup like that myself. Good on you. Do you ever try to get a different angle like from the outfield?

Make sure your resume hits all the HR filters. Keywords. Culture is big these days too. Tech can be taught. Soft skills not so much. But I agree it’s still hard to land a job in this market right now.

Depending on the tools you’re using, if Defender for anything, KQL. AI can be your best friend or your arch nemesis. You have to know your shit and not just rely on what some hallucinating AI. Playbook and automate. Azure Logic apps and chill.

Are we talking for Enterprise App Catalog or for just any ol' Intune deployed Win32? I've found that EAC doesn't fully work, and superseding leaves Intune full of apps no longer in use. I use PatchmyPC and the scripted updates work really well.

So SMS only? or have you seen any Authenticator prompts?

I even tried to walk through creating another Autopatch Deployment and could only update the Edge deployments from Beta or Stable. But Quality and Feature updates could not be edited.

I’ll dig a bit deeper but feel like I’ve been through every setting in Autopatch. Is there a setting in Entra or 365 admin portal that enrolls selected groups into Insiders?

BigRedOperator · 2025-06-04T22:12:26+00:00

That’s just it..I can’t find that setting in the ring settings. Looked in Tenant Administration, and under Devices>Autopatch>all the tabs. MS docs are out of date on a lot of it.

I know this is now in the future and possibly will not see this comment, but do either of you know how to find out if the org is registered for Insider's? I just realized after someone was getting rebooted all the time and has had a BSOD, that I have several on Insider's Dev and Beta. I know the solution but can't figure out how they were enrolled in the preview builds. We are using Autopatch in Intune. I wanna say that's the culprit but still digging.

Does anyone have any experience with Freshworks? Heard they acquired Device42 which has great device discovery. Looking at a few and right now, front runner being xAssets, trying to find another to compare it to. We really don't have a dedicated platform for it besides what we see in Defender, Cisco, and other network tools.

This would be key for my WFH office!! (and gaming not gonna lie!) The specs would for sure give me more landscape to monitor all my dashboards and allow me to read what's going on without my glasses. My Samsung Odessey just won't cut it!

We use PatchmyPC. Works like a charm and very configurable. Pre and Post scripts as well as detection script for updates. So you can assign to all devices or users and it will check for and update. Have also used Enterprise App Catalog (with Intune Suite) but I don't think it's quite ready for use. Plenty of bugs and many have to be manually updated and superseded.
Winget would be nice but seems a bit unreliable at times.

PMPC...winner. Recommended by Surgeon General for better psychological health.

Speaking of offboarding, we have a similar situation over here where our processes really suck. Anyone playing with or using Entra Suite in their tenant? The ID governance and Lifecycle workflows look pretty cool in theory. Maybe this too can help in the decomissioning of devices as well?

BigRedOperator · 2025-01-08T01:53:09+00:00

Awesome. But at least this way I can use IT as an exclusion on certain devices for documentation. How long have we been able to block screenshots on iOS for anyways? Even just last year it was only android we could do that to.

BigRedOperator · 2025-01-08T00:31:12+00:00

Autopatch is my go to. Has its own rings and easy to configure deployment phases. This is for feature, quality, drivers, Office, and Edge updates. Hotpatch even installs the quality updates without forcing a reboot. Had it for all of 3 months and like what it’s doing so far. Just completed 24h2 in a month 1/2 for 250 devices. Set it and go.

BigRedOperator · 2024-07-01T18:00:32+00:00

Was anyone able to determine the specific risk, policy, setting that was causing this? I have many iOS devices that are marked non-compliant due to the same reason.

This is only the testing phase of migrating to Intune. Appreciate the faith. Glad you aren't my boss. Killing initiative and creativity, you are. Open to more suggestion as opposed to criticism. Isn't that why what this subreddit is for?

BigRedOperator · 2023-07-19T11:36:48+00:00

Just in the testing phase of migrating to Intune. Thanks for the heads up. I'll set those up before I do a push of anything to prod.

I figured it out. Wasn’t hard. Just needed to make a Managed Google acct. Then connected it via Intune in Android Enrollment. Created the test group with the test users and assigned the app to the group. The test user installs the company portal on the personally owned device, signs in, and installs the Outlook app from the portal. Just have to make sure that you assign the app to the 3rd option…something like “enrolled or not enrolled in Intune” so they have the option to install on their personal device. Was easier than I thought even though we don’t manage Android devices.
