Intune Remote Help now signs in to a Windows PC with nobody logged on. You flip the setting, it stays greyed out, and you assume it's broken. It's not. There's a separate RBAC permission nobody mentions. New video walks the full setup: youtu.be/gxmZoblHW24

Tech conferences always give out a backpack, which is a bold move considering a backpack is the one thing every attendee already brought in. Custom app settings in Intune work the same way. You do the setup once, then every update hands you the work again. youtu.be/6KoH0k5NJ9U

A device can look ready for Autopilot and still fail enrollment. Leftover #Intune object, dangling #Entra record, no profile assigned. I built a #PowerShell script that checks all four against Graph, for one serial or a whole CSV. New video: youtu.be/isFwmz1XajY

Standing Global Admin access is not convenience, it is a permanent open door with your name on it. New video: configuring Entra ID PIM so admins elevate only when they need it and the access expires on its own. youtu.be/EULw10aYauo

Third party patching in Intune is the thing everyone agrees is a problem and nobody has time to fix. New video: using Robopack Radar to scan your app inventory, build a patch group, and let tracking handle new devices automatically. youtu.be/v__xy6mgJx0

Spent this one at the whiteboard. Properties catalog policy > Device Inventory Agent installs > harvests to a local SQLite db > delta uploads to Intune on its own schedule. The bit that trips people up: none of that rides the MDM check-in. youtu.be/WMQJqPd8E9U

Intune can auto-update your Enterprise App Catalog apps now that the feature is GA. Real time savings on the third-party patching treadmill. Three things the announcement leaves out, though, and no rollback is the one that matters. New video covers all of it. youtu.be/tb-pqlYUkZk

Microsoft redesigned the @microsoft.com Intune device page. Four tabs, Essentials pinned to the top, and Device action status that actually tells you whether the wipe ran. Public preview, one toggle, no tenant-wide impact. Walked through the whole thing: youtu.be/xKSJ70iRWOI

Device query is the part of Intune Advanced Analytics I reach for most. Ask a device a question, get a live answer, no remote session. And with the July licensing change it's in E3 and E5 now. New video walks both single-device and fleet query: youtu.be/3VE8Ii3bng4

Remote Help is the part of the Intune Suite that quietly became a bigger deal in July: it is now included in E3 and E5. It is Quick Assist with RBAC, compliance checks, and a full audit log. No third-party agent to trust. New video walks the whole setup: youtu.be/HkNBWrl08uI

The new Intune App Inventory- 24 hours after the Properties Catalog policy goes out, every data field you wanted from Discovered Apps is sitting there in the portal. Part 2 walkthrough: youtu.be/pN2L5QRrEeI

Not for nothin', but the old Intune Discovered Apps report refreshed once a week and only saw the signed-in user on shared devices. App Inventory in the All Apps tab fixes both. Updates multiple times a day, every user profile, full metadata including the uninstall command. youtu.be/gypoXJS_4k8

My parents got a car with an app. They can barely operate the tech they have. Anyway — hotpatch goes default-on in Intune May 11. New video.

Lie-flat seat to London: $3,000 each way. At that price I'm not flying, I'm paying rent. Speaking of upgrades, here is a new video on the Policy Configuration Agent in @msintune.bsky.social also: we just hit 10K. thank you. youtu.be/v_szeJg64-4

Two Intune MVPs walk into a Microsoft studio in Redmond. No setup to that joke. We just recorded a whole conversation about cloud native Windows management for MSPs and it's up now. #intune #autopilot youtu.be/QUVHPsoIAbY

Starbucks says "what can I get started for you" and you're just supposed to trust the process. The Enrollment Status Page is the same energy. Something's running. At some point your device is ready. Or it's not, and now you need logs. @msintune.bsky.social youtu.be/bqz3nMKafc8

It's an old and annoying problem, but do you have a solution? Learn how to remove bloatware from #Windows11 with Microsoft #Intune

GetRubix is 178 subscribers from 10,000... can you believe it? I'm also 32 days from #MMSMOA, 5 days from the next Daredevil episode, and 1 coffee short of being tuned up. Just got back from Redmond and apparently this is how I'm spending my Thursday. youtube.com/@getrubix
