ConfigMgr Technical Preview 2307 update has been released by Microsoft. The new features include Windows 11 Edition Upgrade, Windows 11 Upgrade Readiness Dashboard, option to schedule scripts’ runtime and many more. After the release of technical preview 2305, Microsoft skipped the release of technical preview 2306. That’s because, as per the new SCCM release cadence, there will be only four ConfigMgr Technical Preview (TP) releases per year.  Two will be released before each production current branch release, and one of Technical Preview release would be a baseline release. If you are running previously released technical preview 2305 in your ConfigMgr lab, you can directly upgrade to SCCM TP version 2307 via updates and servicing. In case your technical preview lab is expired, you must rebuild it to install the TP 2307. In this article, we’ll go over the steps to install the SCCM technical preview 2307 update and look at the new features included with this release. Take a look at...

In this article, we’ll demonstrate how to configure time zone using Intune. If you want to set a specific time zone on all your Windows devices, you can use Intune to do that. We will also explore about using different techniques for checking the current time zone and list of available time zones. You may need to configure the time zone if your organization is spread out across several nations, and you have Microsoft Intune managing all your laptops and desktops. When you set time zone using Intune, you ensure that all your devices are synchronised and follow the correct local time. When you use Autopilot to deploy Windows, sometimes the devices don’t get the correct time zone. You can resolve this by setting a common time zone for all your devices with Microsoft Intune. Based on the country in which the device is being used, you can group your devices in an Azure AD dynamic security group and then target the security groups to configure time zone information. http://www.bestpop.co.kr/...

In this article, we will explain how to configure Windows diagnostic data using Intune for your organization. We will use a device restriction policy in Intune to set Telemetry level as Required for Windows devices. Broadly, there are two ways to manage Windows diagnostic data in an organization: Group Policy and Intune (MDM). If your Windows devices are managed by Intune, you can choose the telemetry level and configure how the diagnostic data is sent to Microsoft. On Windows devices, Telemetry refers to the process of collecting and transmitting diagnostic data from a user’s device to Microsoft’s servers for a variety of purposes. This information assists Microsoft in improving its products and services, troubleshooting issues, and making informed decisions about future updates and features. http://www.hondaikmciledug.co.id/HRIS/showthread.php?tid=1892 https://www.gamingfraternity.com/showthread.php?tid=249 https://ourpoliticalhammer.com/mybb/showthread.php?tid=22838 http://vshop.tv/...

In this article, we’ll show you how you can show seconds in Windows 11 clock. On Windows 11, you can now display the seconds in the System Tray clock, and this option can be enabled under the taskbar settings. Microsoft recently released the Moment 3 update for Windows 11 and included a crucial feature that Windows users had long requested: Show seconds in Windows 11 clock on the taskbar. Although it’s not turned on by default, it can help you keep track of time more precisely. To activate it, you simply need to make a brief trip to the settings app. The system clock appears on the bottom right of the Windows 11 taskbar, displaying the current time. Many users had to use either third-party tool or registry workaround to display the seconds along with the clock. This is no longer necessary because the taskbar settings in Windows 11 comes with a separate option to show seconds on the clock in the taskbar. The feature to display the seconds in system tray clock was first added with Window...

In this article, we’ll explain how to find unused boot images in SCCM and delete them. The unused boot images are the ones that aren’t enabled for PXE boot or referenced by any task sequence in Configuration Manager. A company recently asked me to help them resolve problems with their current Configuration Manager setup. During my audit of the SCCM server, I noticed that there were plenty of boot images created. Most of these boot images were unused, and the admins who created these collections no longer worked for that organisation. Keeping the setup tidy by removing unwanted objects is one of the recommended SCCM practices. The more objects you create in Configuration Manager, the larger the database will become. Keeping old, outdated boot images in the console not only confuses the admins but also affects the operating system deployments. Furthermore, unused boot images can take up significant amount of disk space on distribution point servers. In Configuration Manager, you can util...

In this article, we’ll demonstrate the steps to install Google Chrome on macOS using Intune. This guide is a chrome enterprise deployment guide for administrators who wish to deploy Chrome Browser on Mac for a business.

In this article, we will demonstrate how to set macOS device name to serial number using Intune. Instead of renaming macOS devices manually in Intune, you can use a shell script to automatically change the name of Mac devices to its serial number. Many organisations prefer to use serial numbers as device names as a standard naming convention. A serial number is a unique identifier assigned to a Mac device. If you ever need to use your warranty and have Apple repair your Mac, you’ll need that serial number. Using Device Naming Templates in Enrollment Profile, you can easily set the serial number as the device name on Windows and iOS/iPadOS devices. However, for macOS devices, you can use a different approach and achieve it with a simple script. At work, one of the customers recently purchased new MacBooks for their employees. After enrolling them into Intune, they decided to rename all of their devices to their serial number. Normally, a macOS device name is a combination of the full na...

In this article, we’ll show you how to enable never combine taskbar buttons in Windows 11. Windows 11 now offers a setting “never combine taskbar buttons” in the taskbar settings, with which all the windows applications are shown as individual items in the taskbar. The option, known as “never combined mode,” is rolling out with the Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 23466 to the rebooted Dev Channel flighting 23000 series builds. According to Microsoft, this was the most requested feature for Windows 11. The new never combined mode is first rolling out to Windows Insiders in the Dev Channel, and later it will be available for all Windows 11 stable releases. Windows 10 users who upgraded to Windows 11 noticed that option never combine taskbar buttons and labels were missing in Windows 11.

There were numerous requests by users for the feature to be added...

You can force your enrolled Mac to sync with Intune for the latest updates, requirements, and communications from your organization. After enrolling macOS devices into Intune, the Intune Company Portal app regularly syncs devices when they’re connected to Wi-Fi. Syncing forces your device to connect with Intune to get the latest updates, requirements, and communications from your organization. However, if you ever need to disconnect for an extended period of time, you can use the Company Portal sync action to reconnect and bring your device up-to-date. According to Microsoft, the Sync device action forces the selected device to immediately check in with Intune. When a device checks in, it immediately receives any pending actions or policies that have been assigned to it. This feature can help you immediately validate and troubleshoot policies you’ve assigned, without waiting for the next scheduled check...
