Learn how to renew the Entra app's secret key using Configuration Manager console While working in my SCCM lab recently, I realised the secret key for one of my Entra App registrations was expired. I received a console notification with the following message: “One or more Entra app secrets used by Cloud Services have expired. Renew to avoid service disruptions.” Configuration Manager allows you to renew the secret key for an Entra app with a few easy steps. You can also renew client secrets for apps in the Microsoft Entra admin center, which I will cover in a separate guide. You must renew the Microsoft Entra app’s secret key before the end of its validity period. If you let the key expire, Configuration Manager can’t authenticate with Microsoft Entra ID, which will cause your connected Azure/Entra services to stop working. In this tutorial, I will walk you through the procedure of renewing secret keys using SCCM console. You need to have at least the “Cloud Application Administrat...

A guide to turn off the printer sharing on Mac devices using Microsoft Intune In this post, I will show you how to disable printer sharing on macOS using Intune policy. Using a DisablePrinterSharing.zsh shell script, you can turn off the macOS printer sharing feature via Microsoft Intune. When you enable printer sharing on a Mac, it is set up as a print server to accept print jobs from other computers. Apple recommends using a dedicated print server or direct IP printing instead of printer sharing. An organization recently approached me about stopping Mac users from enabling and using the printer sharing feature. Thankfully, the Mac devices in the enterprise were enrolled in Intune. However, they couldn’t locate a setting to turn off printer sharing for Mac in the settings catalog. When I did some research, I discovered that there is no option to disable printer sharing for Mac devices in the settings catalog. So, I had to either use a script or a custom template to get this done. Than...

This tutorial describes how to manage the diagnostics collection for autopilot failure for Windows devices in Intune. The autopilot automatic capture diagnostic feature is by default turned on to capture failure logs, but you can turn it off if you don’t need it.

The old devices here could be your virtual machines or physical devices such as PCs or laptops. Moreover, ...

While installing Windows 11 on a VM, I encountered the error “A Requested Power Operation is Already in Progress.” In this guide, I will explain why you get this error and the steps to resolve it. Setting up a virtual machine is a simple process and typically takes around 20–25 minutes. The VMs that I create are usually for testing the Intune features, Windows insider preview features, and operating system deployments via Configuration Manager. My virtual machine abruptly crashed when I was installing Windows 11 and configuring it for testing the insider preview features. I was unable to restart it or shut it down. I hope the solution in this tutorial helps if you are having the same problem as me. https://dev-forum.vmssoftware.com/viewtopic.php?t=226842 https://www.forum.lundin.ro/showthread.php?tid=131 https://forum.mbprinteddroids.com/showthread.php?tid=146&pid=211 https://forum.haustor.eu/showthread.php?tid=86 https://forum.21up.co.uk/showthread.php?tid=945 https://www.zonasepu...

Restrict access to Bitdefender Settings by turning on the password protection. Also, learn how to modify the existing password and remove the password protection feature. In this tutorial, I will show you how to password protect Bitdefender settings. Bitdefender recommends that if you are not the only person with administrative rights to a certain machine, you password-protect your Bitdefender settings. For many years, I have been using Bitdefender Total Security to provide complete protection for my PC. It is all-in-one software that protects my computer from malware and viruses while also securing my browsing. When you have multiple PC users who are all administrators, anyone could introduce changes to the Bitdefender settings. For example, a user can open Bitdefender and turn off the cryptomining feature, turn on/off the dark mode, etc. I am now going to show you the steps to turn on the password protection feature on Bitdefender Total Security. https://dev-forum.vmssoftware.com/vie...
