How to configure automatic Contact Syncing from Microsoft Outlook to the native Contacts App including Contact Fields filtering on iOS and Android BYOD devices with Microsoft Endpoint Manager

March 17, 2020Enterprise Mobility + Security, Intune11 comments

After companies apply Mobile Application Management (MAM) / App Protection Policies to their employees’ mobile devices, and forced them to use the Managed Outlook app instead of the native mail application, one of the most frequently asked questions are “how can I see who’s calling me?” and “where are my contacts? I don’t see them in my native contacts app”. This has everything to do with the fact that contacts are now in a “isolated/secured app container” and not accessible by other non-managed / secured applications.

Call to Action : Add the new Microsoft Office (Hub) app for iOS and Android to your current Microsoft Endpoint Manager / Microsoft Intune App Protection Policies

In the last few weeks I have had contact with a few companies that use Microsoft Endpoint Manager / Microsoft Intune for managing their mobile devices. In most cases they do this for a longer time and they also use Mobile Application Management (App protection policies) for securing the company data, for example, on BYOD (Bring Your Own Devices / Private owned devices). And this is a good thing if you want to isolate company data in a secure container, but in some cases they did not know about the existence of the new Microsoft Office (Hub) application. Without securing this application, end users may have access to company data via an unsecured way.

How to apply Outlook.com rules on the junk folder and How to “stop” Outlook.com from moving Emails to Junk or Spam Folder

March 8, 2020Power Automate14 comments

I use Microsoft Outlook.com for my private mail for many years now, and over the years I receive more and more spam. In most cases Outlook.com redirects all spam to my Junk folder, which is good. But in some cases Outlook.com also redirects legitimate messages to my Junk folder, and this force me to scan my Junk folder on legitimate messages every few days (default retention policy of Outlook.com let Junk items expire in 10 days).

How to start OneDrive (and automatically sign-in) when using a RemoteApp in Windows Virtual Desktop (WVD)

February 20, 2020Windows Virtual Desktop (WVD)23 comments

Recently I had a use case where a customer uses Windows Virtual Desktop with RemoteApps, and files had to be opened and saved on the user’s OneDrive within these applications. Not a very exceptional situation if you ask me. I know that with some GPO settings / registry keys you can configure silent sign-in and Files on-demand (recommended within environments like Windows Virtual Desktop). However, when configuring those settings, everything was working fine in a full published desktop, but not in a Windows Virtual Desktop RemoteApp.
