I use PiHole for Ad-blocking at home, and yes, sometimes that causes some issues if it blocks Microsoft (Or other) management addresses. In this blog post, I will show how you can live-track blocked DNS queries 🙂

📰 OIB 3.4 News!
I'm busy finalising changes/updates to v3.4 of the #OpenIntuneBaseline.
Some forewarning of a "breaking change" in that all policies have been renamed to show where they actually exist (ES - Endpoint Security, SC - Settings Catalog).
I still don't like it :(

I can't believe they're going to roll out 2025 to Production late at night, right before a public holiday, without testing it in Staging, and without fixing all the bugs in 2024.

❄️I created this tool some time ago to make it easier to manage the startmenu and taskbar of #Windows11 by using #msintune

M365maps was a labour of love by Aaron Dinnage for which i shall be forever grateful but it hasn't been updated in over a year. I'm guessing his new job in #Microsoft is keeping him busy.😁
