Hey #configmgr #sccm #intune #w365 peeps. Couple of questions:
Do you have applications that require manual configuration on the end user device before giving it to users?
How many apps require a complex sequence (install order, reboot, etc) to work correctly?
Please repost for visibility 😁

Currently working on a project for 1.5 years so far with one of our overseas divisions, taking them from local AD joined devices managed by SCCM to Entra joined devices managed by Intune. Training provided, documentation, designs, etc.....and yet their local support team is still calling it iTunes 😲
