Intune DevOps Tools – Move objects from Dev to Prod Tenant

23. October 202223. October 2022 jannikreinhard4 Comments

The more clients are managed in your tenant and the more people have contributor rights in your tenant, the more important it becomes to have good release management processes. In this blog post I would like to introduce you to my Intune CI pipeline that allows you to transfer configurations from one tenant to another. This offers the possibility that only a small number of administrators have access in the Prod tenant and all others create configurations in a Dev tenant and these are then transferred to the Prod tenant via a DevOps pipeline.

Deep Dive into delivery optimization

You can imagine that when a new Windows patch or a new version of a software is released and has to be installed on every Devices and many PCs start to download the content at the same time from a destination outside the corporate network, the Internet break outs are very busy. Or if the internet connection of a certain location has a low bandwidth the download of a large app takes a long time. But more and more organisations move their applications as well as the update management to the cloud and reduce their on premise infrastructure. To solve this problem microsoft has introduced a very good technology called Delivery Optimization. In this blog we would like to clarify what is DO and take a deeper look at how this works.

How to skip the ESP for a single app installation

2. October 20222. October 2022 jannikreinhard1 Comment

Unfortunately, there is no setting in Intune with which you can determine whether an app should be installed during ESP (Enrollment Status Page) or only after ESP. Of course, it is a huge advantage to install as many apps as possible during the ESP or even better during the white glove phase so that you have a ready to use device after enrollment. But there are cases where it can make sense to install an app after the ESP, for example if the installation routine requires an interaction. How you can skip the installation of an app in the ESP I will explain now.
