I ended up on Apple's Acknowledgements page 🍏 Apple finally added more verification methods for Apple Business Manager, and I may have helped a little. Here's what changed and how it happened 👇 msendpointmgr.com/2026/09/23… #MacAdmins #ABM #Apple

Working with Microsoft EPM? I created a tool that will allow you to much easier build cool rules with certificates+internal name and have a better overview of ruleset and much more. github.com/mmelkersen/Tools/… #MSIntune #MicrosoftEPM #MSEndpointMgr

Microsoft has officially released Remote Help for Windows with unattended support and remote sign-in. But there’s an important deployment detail: it requires two additional components on the device: 🔹 Remote Desktop Services Infrastructure Agent 🔹 Remote Desktop Agent Boot Loader These components provide the underlying connectivity that allows a support engineer to authenticate at the Windows sign-in screen and work in a separate session. The good news for @PatchMyPC customers? Both required agents are already available in our application catalog, making it easier to package, deploy, and keep them updated through Intune or Configuration Manager. Want to understand what happens behind the scenes, from the Intune Management Extension and temporary registration tokens to helper access and automatic cleanup?

Remote Help Unattended Support is here!! Back in March, I already noticed something new showing up in the Intune Management Extension: **Windows Remote Help Unattended**. That one name sent me down the rabbit hole. At the time, the backend still returned `FeatureNotEnabled`. We could see how Microsoft was building it, but we couldn’t complete the full flow ourselves. Fast-forward almost five months. Microsoft has now officially announced **Remote Help on Windows: Unattended Support with Remote Sign-In**. And looking at the first setup steps and requirements, our original investigation was pretty damn close. Microsoft requires the Azure Virtual Desktop Agent and Bootloader. Remote Desktop must be enabled. The helper connects through the Windows sign-in screen and works in a separate Windows session while the user’s session remains locked. That is almost exactly what the IME code was telling us back in March. The AVD plumbing wasn’t just a coincidence. The registration token wasn’t just some leftover code. And the helper being temporarily added to Remote Desktop Users was the clue that tied the whole thing together. It’s always nice when months of staring at decompiled code eventually turn into an official Microsoft announcement 😄 Original investigation: patchmypc.com/blog/remote-he… #Intune #MSIntune #RemoteHelp

If you haven't seen the process for deploying Remote Help yet, this thread is for you Not because it's hard, but because it is even more unhinged than Global Secure Access setup I honestly can't believe this shipped, and trust me, it only gets worse the more you look at it

The "Ultimate" Guide to Creating Win32 Apps in Intune with PowerShell & Microsoft Graph I pulled apart the full flow...app creation, content versioning, SAS upload, commit, detection, requirements + IME processing. msendpointmgr.com/2026/08/16… #Intune #PowerShell #MicrosoftGraph

So, I’m late to the game because I don’t update the PowerShell modules in my lab frequently enough. WAM and the Graph SDK - things you should know if you automate. #MSIntune #MSGraph msendpointmgr.com/2026/08/09…

I took a deep-dive on WinGet and asked myself a question. Everyone consciously managing apps in Intune has asked themselves the same one. Is it Enterprise ready? Do I have a bias in this game? Yes. Have I tried to remain impartial and cite my claims? Yes msendpointmgr.com/2026/07/30…

Replying to @IntuneSuppTeam
@IntuneSuppTeam calling the kool kids. Docs say we can exclude enterprise apps from MAA policies. Nothing in the admin centre or Graph to do this - what’s the gap? MAA never used to impact app-auth flows…does this doc officially mean it now does? Thanks learn.microsoft.com/en-us/in…
