You’d think creating Defender antivirus scan schedules should be pretty easy, even if the devices you’re working with are running macOS. Why are we having to create mobileconfig files for this in Microsoft Intune? Surely we can make this a little better?

Fancy letting your end users select what day of the week they get their device updates allowing them to be truly empowered but still ensure a level of device security, sure you do.

You’ve just implemented a Cloud Management Gateway to help your hybrid joined Windows devices communicate to Configuration Manager over the internet, but what if they’re orphaned and unable to communicate to Configuration Manager to get the new Client Settings?

This is the last part in the series around the CIS (Center for Internet Security) benchmark for Windows 11, and we’d like to say that we’ve saved the best post for last, but we’d be lying. Surely the Level 2 settings can’t be worse than the Level 1?

I’m not sure what I’m doing playing around with Power Automate, but here we are. Like many people, I have a habit of forgetting to set an Out of Office message when I’m actually on holiday, or when I’m working with customers. Let’s see if we can make something do this for us.

When did Microsoft go all covert ops (maybe don’t answer that question) and start making changes to your very own Firewall Rule policies in Microsoft Intune without letting anyone know? Or did they?

The impact of the CIS settings on BitLocker and Windows Autopilot now done and dusted, we should broaden our horizons and start to look at what other problems the CIS level 1 benchmark brings to Windows 11 as a whole. Are there any? Will it be smooth sailing? Yeah, no.
