About this tag
Microsoft Intune is Microsoft's cloud-based endpoint management service for Windows, macOS, iOS, and Linux devices. Discussions on WindowsForum cover practical deployment, licensing, and troubleshooting scenarios, including Intune enrollment on Entra-joined Windows devices, scoped permissions assessment, and the impact of licensing changes like Microsoft 365 E3 losing Intune EPM after July 1, 2026. Administrators share guidance on managing Linux endpoints, such as migrating from RHEL 8 to RHEL 9 or Ubuntu 22.04 to 24.04 before support ends. iOS app protection policies, enhanced Windows sync actions, and camera policy deployment on Windows 11 are also recurring themes. The tag reflects real-world IT administration challenges and solutions.
