Deploy unique computer certificates using Intune/SCEP/NDES
We want to deploy unique device certificates to our Windows 10 devices using Intune/SCEP/NDES. At the moment we can only deploy user certificates.
The story behind this idea is as follows:
We are using shared Windows 10 devices and a wireless environment that uses certificate authentication. Because of the shared devices and the possibility that the user never logged on to the device yet, we want the wireless profile to be connected before user logon. And that requires a unique computer certificate.

inventory of -all- installed software not just the software deployed through Intune or from the Store
Today very limited reports exists for MDM, there is no report for software inventory on Mobile devices.
346 votesHopefully by now you’re seen our Data Warehouse feature that released recently. You can now get this data in console under Mobile Apps → Monitor → Discovered apps.There’s a table exposed in the data warehouse applicationInventories that exposes the same data.
We also have a listing of all managed apps and their installation status under Mobile Apps → Monitor → App install status."
Does that get you what you need? If not, what’s missing?

Configure lock screen/wallpaper on iOS devices at enrollment (as per Configurator)
In Apple Configurator, part of the enrollment profile is the ability to set options for the lock screen such as what information is displayed, and set a lockscreen wallpaper. In a school environment, being able to display the device name and brand the lock screen with a custom background would be increadibly useful, and this currently is not able to be done via InTune/ConfigMgr.
Add this functionality please.

sync contacts to local OS native apps/phone
The Team of Intune and Outlook did a great job but we believe that there are still some limitations to overcome:
- We need the capability to sync determined objects to local OS native apps/phone without limitations, like Contacts through Outlook for iOS. Outlook for iOS, for example, is a good application that provides mail and calendar features. However, since the contacts are not synced to the native OS phone, calls/SMS are not recognized.
- We know we can use ActiveSync for contacts, however, in case of MAM, we wouldn´t allow ActiveSync in our mobile devices.238 votes -
Support for deploying App-V packages
Right now people have to use the MSI packages generated by the App-V sequencer, rather than having native handling for the .AppV package format as SCCM does. This means that people have to resort to powershell scripting, or squeezing scripts into MST transforms in order to use App-V features such as custom configuration files or connection groups.
Also the MSI packages are very unreliable since they were mainly created for test scenarios rather than live deployments - for example they fail to uninstall when an application is in use, and you have to remove the previous version manually before installing…

This is something we hear a lot, but there are degrees of server support – just like the desktop client, or just a subset of those features. We would love to get more specific in a survey we just put up here https://microsoft.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_0P65dThvhzD5ZUV. We’ll leave it up until mid January, since the holidays will have some people out of town for a few weeks. Thanks! We look forward to hearing from you!

Allow blocking of iOS update
I want the ability to block updating to the newest iOS version. I have users who don't listen when I send out an email blast to not update their devices but I still get users who either don't read or just ignore the email. I want the ability to set the highest version that I want available and to disable updating to the newest version until I release it. Same type of deal as when I have to approve Windows updates.
168 votesWe always have problems when it comes to updates and mobile phones because unlike desktop OS, the carriers have most of the control and the platform vendor has the rest.
What we do offer now is the ability to use Conditional Access to block based on min or max OS version, so if they upgrade (even when you tell them not to) they can be shut out.
There’s a brief reference in this blog post to releasing it in hybrid, https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/microsoftintune/2016/01/06/coming-soon-support-for-new-windows-10-features-apple-vpp-for-business-and-more/ and standalone went live in the latest updates.
What do you think – would you call this complete based on having some admin control, or would you hold out for the PC-like experience of blocking updates, even if it’s something that would have to come from someplace other than Intune?

Remove duplicates
Every time when you rebuild (reinstall Windows and Intune client) a corporate PC witch was already managed by Intune a duplicate computer record is added to Intune database. Now we manually removing duplicates every month. Can you automate it?

Extend the SCEP enrollment profile with additional Active Directory attributes
At the moment only two user attributes (CN and UPN) are available to use in SCEP profiles. With our current MDM solution it is possible to use every AD attribute to request a certificate with this unique attribute. Both Intune and the other MDM solution are using the same SCEP server so it is possible. This seems like extending a table in Intune or using a text box with variables. We have the need to use ExtensionAttributes as the unique identifier for a certificate.
126 votesAs of Dec 11, when you create a SCEP certificate profile in Intune, you can now use the AAD_DEVICE_ID variable when you build the custom subject name. When the certificate is requested using this SCEP profile, the variable is replaced with the AAD device ID of the device making the certificate request.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/intune/whats-newI don’t think it gives you everything you want, but hopefully it’s a step in the right direction?

Sync Exchange contacts with local device contacts
To allow the use of SMS and caller ID,contacts contained within the Exchange ActiveSync contacts configuration needs to be accessible to the local device, the ability to configure a profile to just allow the synchronizing of contact or the export of contacts from the outlook managed app to the device is necessary. Email access cannot be allowed outside of the managed apps.

Priority based Application deployment
Hi, It will be good if Intune provide feature of application deployment according to priority because some applications needs some prerequisite application to be deployed first.

Improve the Application deployment capabilities for Windows
Now with all the new features of Windows 10 and Intune as the no. 1 cloud management for this platform - there are so many things missing in order for application deployment feature to be a full solution.
1. Add the ability to edit existing source files of applications
2. add detection methods by registry VALUES or file VERSIONS like SCCM
3. more deploy options rather than just MSI\EXE (bat, cmd, vbs, ps1 etc...)
4. add application dependencies...I think that in short, I can say - make the application deployment features of SCCM (that are perfect) to be available…
69 votesIn case you haven’t seen it, at Ignite in September we introduced the concept of co-management with Configuration Manager and Intune both managing the same device. https://channel9.msdn.com/Events/Ignite/2016/BRK2138-TS
If you already have ConfigMgr, it makes sense for now to consider this configuration to address app deployment. -
Software Inventory for mobiles
As of today, there's no option for admins to view the currently installed apps on devices. only the ones that were installed via Intune. black\white listing doesn't really help because they are only after users has enrolled their devices. everything that happens before the enrollment doesn't show up.
this area requires an improvement58 votesI’m moving this into ideas, since it’s something that doesn’t exist and could be considered. but one of the problems we run into is whether or not the operating system will let us tell what apps are installed. The OS can consider that privileged information and it may not let the management service know what is installed outside it’s sphere.
Then there’s whether the OS will let us actually prohibit an app as opposed to just telling you which devices have apps you’ve blacklisted. We work very closely with the manufacturers of the mobile OSs – we can ask, beg, tell them how much it hurts users – but at the end of the day, the OS manufacturer still makes the final call.
(This includes Windows and Windows Phone, by the way – even though we are “One Microsoft”, we are still different groups and priorities can vary when it…

Mobile data monitoring and reporting
Nowadays with the amount of mobile data consumed by mobile devices only seems to increase, it would be great if Intune was able to monitor and report on mobile data usage across Mobile/Wifi and Roaming zones for each mobile device Intune manages. Windows and Android have this built into their OS's and iOS has a very good third party app you can use which works great.
It would also be great if this was supported for both Intune only and SCCM hybrid environments, perhaps with a dashboard or at least some decent SSRS reporting.
