Daily Intune News
Track documentation and Message Center changes for Windows Autopilot.
Microsoft Learn documentation ↗The page’s update date changed from August 7, 2026, to September 1, 2026, and the note about new Microsoft Entra ID and Intune records after reset and re-enrollment—and cleaning up stale records—was removed.
The page date was updated, and the note about new device records being created after reset and re-enrollment, including the recommendation to clean up stale records, was removed.
The article’s `ms.service` metadata changed from `microsoft-endpoint-configuration-manager` to `configuration-manager` for co-management content.
The known-issues documentation now explains that Windows Autopilot pre-provisioning for Microsoft Entra hybrid join can fail when policy conflict resolution requires domain controller connectivity, particularly when a BYO VPN is unavailable during technician flow.
The page now uses the `configuration-manager` service metadata value with the `co-management` subservice.
The device association entry was removed from the Windows Autopilot What's New page and moved to Device preparation What's New. The page date was also changed to June 18, 2026.
Windows Autopilot device preparation now supports associating physical Windows 11 devices with an organization before enrollment. Associated devices are marked corporate-owned and can receive device-targeted policies and naming.
The comparison now documents that device preparation devices can be associated with a tenant before enrollment, while Windows Autopilot devices can be registered. It also updates the explanation of deployment selection for Autopilot-registered devices.
The new article documents device resets, local association removal, CSV updates, Autopilot registration, stale records, and decommissioning. It notes that associations persist through resets and that stale records are automatically deleted after 360 days.
The tutorial now documents support for up to 25 essential applications, up from 10, and adds device association as an alternative to corporate identifiers. Associated devices can use settings such as OOBE customization and device naming.
The documentation describes TPM-backed association that writes tenant affinity to UEFI before enrollment, enabling device-targeted policies, device naming, OOBE customization, corporate marking, and stronger onboarding security.
The documentation explains that association state determines whether the Windows Autopilot profile or device association takes precedence. Associated physical Windows 11 devices are marked corporate-owned and can receive device-targeted policies and additional OOBE customizations.
The new article explains how to remove pre-associated devices from Intune and how to clear Device Link UEFI variables before deleting associated devices from Intune.
The page specifies Windows 11, physical-device, TPM 2.0, networking, licensing, and Intune RBAC requirements, including custom-role setup steps.
The documentation date and “Date added” value changed from August 20, 2026, to August 27, 2026.
Windows Autopilot device preparation now supports associating physical Windows 11 devices with an organization before enrollment. Associated devices are automatically marked corporate-owned and can receive device-targeted policies and naming.
A new FAQ explains DeviceLink CSV timestamp changes, exporting device information after OOBE, corporate identifier requirements, OEM and partner support, and virtual machine limitations.
Step 7 now offers two options: add a Windows corporate identifier or associate devices. The document date was also updated.
Step 7 now offers two paths: add a Windows corporate identifier or associate devices. The page’s update date was also refreshed.
Step 7 now presents two options: adding a Windows corporate identifier or associating devices. The documentation date was also updated.
Step 7 now documents two options: adding a Windows corporate identifier or using Associate devices. The page date was also updated.
The tutorial now lists device association as an alternative to adding a Windows corporate identifier and clarifies the steps for deploying apps and PowerShell scripts.
Step 7 now includes device association as an alternative to corporate identifiers. The documentation explains associated-device OOBE settings, deployment precedence, and device- versus user-based policy assignment.
Step 7 now identifies corporate identifiers as one option and links to optional device association as another. Associated devices are automatically treated as corporate-owned, and enrollment links were updated.
A new Step 7 guide explains associating devices for user-driven Microsoft Entra join, including exporting device information, importing it into Intune, and reviewing associations. Association is an optional alternative to corporate identifiers.
The three metadata tag lines on the Add devices page were reverted to their previous formatting.
The documented endpoint list changed from lgmsape*.blob.core.windows.net destinations to ams* lmsas.blob.core.windows.net destinations.
The page title capitalization was updated, and its description now states that administrators can gather hardware hashes and import, edit, and delete device records in the Intune admin center.

Adds GA for automatic-mode device-preparation policies that provision Cloud PCs at creation; Windows 365 Reserve remains preview.
Adds that device-preparation deployment records created after feature introduction are automatically removed after 28 days; older Windows 365 records need one-time manual removal.
The automatic-mode tutorial replaces outdated links for Win32 packaging, Enterprise App Catalog apps, and the Win32 management overview with their current documentation destinations.
The Windows 365 Frontline shared-mode automatic policy tutorial now links to the current Win32 package creation article instead of the prior Win32 packaging path.
