📰 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 :(

Another day, another "x policy/remote action isn't working on our iOS devices" issue.
Just because you used Corp Identifiers, or switched it from Personal to Corp doesn't mean that device is Supervised.
Stuff won't work as you expect.
