Change Request 392644 Scope Intune Company Portal as Required for 'All Devices'.

Description: Details of maintenance: This change will consist of modifying the 'Assignments' for the Microsoft Company Portal application in Intune. Currently following an opt-in model, to install Company Portal on Intune-managed devices, units must 'Include' a 'scope group' associated with target devices. With this change, the built-in virtual group 'All Devices' will be assigned, enforcing the install of the application upon device enrollment into Intune, removing the need for individual units to manage and assign their own 'scope groups'.

For special use-cases where Company Portal may not be appropriate to deploy, units may still prevent the deployment by using scope-groups to 'exclude' devices from receiving the application.

Benefit of change: The Microsoft Company Portal app enables customers to install managed applications and access of other self-service resources from their Intune-managed workstation. A primary benefit of this change is to simplify the management and promote a consistent user experience.

Impact to customers: There is no expected impact to campus members and will result in a shift from the current opt-in deployment model to a more manageable opt-out model for Intune Administrators.

Change Request 392747 Move Intune 'Drive Mapping' Policies to Production State.

Description: Details of maintenance: This change moves the following production-ready Intune enterprise 'template' policies to a production state, making them available to IT Units managing devices in Intune. Once in production, these Enterprise policies are intended to be used as templates by all Units to address their unique drive mapping needs. Note: The ADMX template may be copied and renamed directly in Intune, while the OMA-URI (single-drive configuration) policy must be manually recreated.

Enterprise Policy Templates Moving to Production: 02-TMPL-USER-Single-DriveMapping-v1 (Custom OMA-URI Configuration) 02-TMPL-USER-Multi-DriveMapping-v1 (ADMX Configuration)

Note: Both policy templates work in conjunction with the following Enterprise Platform Required (EPR) policy that must first be applied to enable drive mapping functionality.

02-EPR-MGMT-EnableDriveMapping-v1

Benefit of change: The primary benefit of this change is to simplify and streamline configuration management for departmental network drives mapped to Intune-managed workstations.

Impact to customers: There will be no customer impact due to the nature of this change.
