Week in brief

Intune’s beta Power BI connector starts a late-April retirement transition

The period is dominated by documentation restructuring: legacy remote-action and Security Copilot agent pages were removed as replacement pages appeared under new paths. That is not evidence of a product retirement or broad launch. The substantive administrator signals are a planned Intune Data Warehouse connector retirement, a future Intune Management Extension version floor, the gradual Recovery Lock rollout, a gated Vulnerability Remediation Agent preview, and clearer Delete/Retire guidance for BitLocker devices.

    Intune Data Warehouse beta connector faces planned retirement

    The In Development roadmap says the Intune Data Warehouse (beta) connector in Power BI will be retired. The transition starts in late April 2026 and proceeds gradually over two weeks; after it completes, the beta connector will no longer provide data. Reports created after November 2025 already use connector v2, while older reports may still require migration to connector v2 or the OData Feed.

  • Intune · App management
    Windows Intune Management Extension will require version 1.58.103.0

    A future requirement in the In Development roadmap will make Intune Management Extension version 1.58.103.0 or later necessary on Windows 10 and Windows 11 devices. Earlier versions will no longer receive dependent configurations or updates, including Win32 app deployments, PowerShell scripts, remediations, and platform scripts. The extension updates automatically, but devices must be able to sync to receive the update.

  • Intune · Apple
    Recovery Lock passcode rotation is gradually rolling out

    The new remote-action guidance says Rotate Recovery Lock Passcode may not yet be available in every tenant, with full availability expected by late April 2026. The action supports supervised macOS 11.5 or later on Apple silicon; Intel Macs are unsupported. A policy must enable Recovery Lock, and the newly generated passcode reaches the device at its next successful Intune check-in.

  • Security Copilot · Fundamentals
    Vulnerability Remediation Agent is limited to select public-preview customers

    The Security Copilot overview explicitly places the Vulnerability Remediation Agent in a limited public preview available only to a select group of customers. It uses Microsoft Defender Vulnerability Management data to identify and prioritize CVEs on managed devices, then supplies impact details, affected systems, suggested actions, and step-by-step Intune remediation guidance. Administrators can mark remediated suggestions as applied for later tracking.

  • Intune · General
    Delete guidance clarifies Retire-versus-Wipe behavior and BitLocker risk

    This is documentation clarification rather than evidence of a product behavior change. The new Delete article states that Delete triggers Retire on iOS/iPadOS, macOS, and Windows; Android device administrator and BYOD devices also trigger Retire, while Android COBO, COSU, COPE, and AOSP devices trigger Wipe. For Microsoft Entra joined devices protected by BitLocker, deleting or retiring the Intune object triggers a sync that removes key protectors and suspends BitLocker on the OS volume, so the guidance says to备份ं?

For Intune administrators

Identify Power BI reports created before November 2025 and move beta-connector reports to connector v2 or the OData Feed before the late-April transition completes. Verify Windows devices can sync so the Intune Management Extension can update automatically; the roadmap entry supplies no enforcement date. For Recovery Lock, validate supervised Apple silicon Macs running macOS 11.5 or later and ensure the enabling policy is deployed. Treat Vulnerability Remediation as a select-customer preview, not general availability. For Delete or Retire decisions on Microsoft Entra joined BitLocker devices, back up recovery keys and local administrator credentials first.
