Starting with admin tasks in Microsoft Intune

by

This week is all about the recently newly introduced admin tasks node in the Microsoft Intune admin center. That node provides a centralized view for many different types of administrative tasks. The idea behind that node is to provide a unified experience that helps IT administrators with focusing on the tasks that really matter without navigating through all different nodes within Microsoft Intune admin center. The admin tasks node now provides an overview of all the different security tasks, user elevation requests, and admin approvals request.

Getting started with Windows 365 Cloud Apps

by

This week is all about getting started with Windows 365 Cloud Apps. Not something really new, but definitely a simple IT administrator experience that is worth highlighting. Cloud Apps provides IT administrators with the ability to easily provide users with secure access to specific apps only, that are hosted on a Cloud PC. And that access is without the need for a dedicated Cloud PC for those users. That functionality relies on Windows 365 Frontline in shared mode. So, that also means that this functionality requires Windows 365 Frontline licenses. Keep in mind that, even though the name might imply something different, this license is not directly related to any Microsoft 365 F1 or F3 license. The best part of it is, that it has …
