Have you tried restarting? #10
Back from Seattle, Intune, and iOS: a March issue to reboot your brain after the jet lag.
Hi! Back from Seattle, wrecked by jet lag but happy. Tech Connect is one of those events where you really see the global scale of a company like Microsoft. It's one thing to know you have thousands of colleagues scattered around the world, but seeing them in person is a whole different story! I’m bringing home plenty of interesting insights on technical content, lots of little techniques to 'steal' as a speaker, and above all, the experience of sharing something with colleagues that goes beyond calls and the office. Honestly, we could use a week like this every year!
Anyway, moving on: the next big event is Global Azure, you'll find all the details below. As for the rest, you'll find the usual tasty FAQs and plenty of useful official Microsoft resources.

❓ FAQ… but with style
Question
“How can I find the Bundle ID of an iOS app available on the App Store?”
Answer
It’s not possible to search directly for Bundle IDs within the Apple App Store. However, you can find it by accessing a specific file associated with your app or by using an online method.
If the app is already published on the App Store, proceed as follows:
Find the app’s web page on the App Store (for example, by searching for the corresponding link).
Example: Apple Pages, whose URL is https://apps.apple.com/us/app/pages-crea-documenti/id361309726
Copy the number following the letters id in the URL. In the example given, the number is 361309726.
Open the address https://itunes.apple.com/lookup?id=361309726 in your browser, replacing the number with the one for your app.
In the displayed output, look for the bundleId field. In the example, it appears like this: “bundleId”:”com.apple.Pages”. Therefore, the app’s Bundle ID is com.apple.Pages.

🔗 Microsoft Intune: dynamic groups with Microsoft Graph and PowerShell
👤 Simone Termine
The article explains how to use PowerShell and Microsoft Graph to create custom Dynamic Groups using extensionAttributes. It also includes a demo showing step-by-step how to intervene on Entra, Intune, and PowerShell, as well as how to rollback custom attributes and troubleshooting procedures.🔗 The Unexpected Enrollment: How Personal Windows Home Devices Slipped into Intune and How You Can Finally Block Them
👤 T-Bone Granheden
In this piece, T-Bone shows how personal Windows Home PCs still manage to end up in Intune via the “Allow my organization to manage my device” flow when the user adds their work account in apps like Outlook/Teams. He also explains how to plug the hole using the new “Disable MDM enrollment when adding work or school account on Windows” setting, with practical details on the portal, Graph, limits, and impact on BYOD and SSO. It’s very useful if you need to tidy up personal and corporate devices without breaking the user experience.🔗 Intune Administrator Is the New Domain Admin
👤 James Robinson
An Intune Administrator can cause damage comparable to a Domain Admin. The article addresses real risks (mass code execution, insecure configurations, loss of segregation of duties) and how to mitigate them with RBAC, scope tags, and MAA.
