Specifically, what elements of traditional management do you need to retain and where can you modernize? Whether you take steps to minimize custom imaging, reevaluate settings management, or reassesses authentication and compliance, the benefits can be immediate. You can use [Group policy analytics in Microsoft Endpoint Manager](/mem/intune/configuration/group-policy-analytics) to help determine which group policies supported by cloud-based MDM providers, including Microsoft Intune. **Assess the different use cases and management needs in your environment.** Are there groups of devices that could benefit from lighter, simplified management? BYOD devices, for example, are natural candidates for cloud-based management. Users or devices handling more highly regulated data might require an on-premises Active Directory domain for authentication. Configuration Manager and EMS provide you the flexibility to stage implementation of modern management scenarios while targeting different devices the way that best suits your business needs. **Review the decision trees in this article.** With the different options in Windows 10, plus Configuration Manager and Enterprise Mobility + Security, you have the flexibility to handle imaging, authentication, settings, and management tools for any scenario. -**Take incremental steps.** Moving towards modern device management doesn’t have to be an overnight transformation.

The management server can determine the user identity, determine what policies are targeted for this user, and send corresponding policies to the device. To allow management server to identify current user that is logged on to the device, the OMA DM client uses the Azure AD user tokens. Each management session contains an extra HTTP header that contains an Azure AD user token. This information is provided in the DM package sent to the management server. However, in some circumstances Azure AD user token isn't sent over to the management server. One such scenario happens immediately after MDM enrollments completes during Azure AD join process. Until Azure AD join process is finished and Azure AD user signs on to the machine, Azure AD user token isn't available to OMA-DM process. Typically, MDM enrollment completes before Azure AD user sign in to machine and the initial management session doesn't contain an Azure AD user token. The management server should check if the token is missing and only send device policies in such case. Another possible reason for a missing Azure AD token in the OMA-DM payload is when a guest user is logged on to the device. **Adding a work account and MDM enrollment to a device** diff --git a/windows/client-management/mdm/bitlocker-csp.md b/windows/client-management/mdm/bitlocker-csp.md index 8370601e1d..7af651d2c0 100644 --- a/windows/client-management/mdm/bitlocker-csp.md +++ b/windows/client-management/mdm/bitlocker-csp.md @@ -12,6 +12,7 @@ ms.reviewer: manager: dansimp ms.collection: highpri --- + # BitLocker CSP The BitLocker configuration service provider (CSP) is used by the enterprise to manage encryption of PCs and devices.

    | -| Are there hardware requirements for Windows Autopatch? | No, Windows Autopatch doesn't require any specific hardware. However, general hardware requirements for updates are still applicable. For example, to deliver Windows 11 to your Autopatch devices they must meet [specific hardware requirements](/windows/windows-11-specifications?r=1). Windows devices must be supported by your hardware OEM. | - -## Device registration - -| Question | Answer | -| ----- | ----- | -| Can Autopatch customers individually approve or deny devices? | No you can't individually approve or deny devices.

    • Windows 10/11 quality updates: Windows Autopatch manages all aspects of update rings.
    • Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise updates: All devices registered for Windows Autopatch will receive updates from the Monthly Enterprise Channel.
    • Microsoft Edge: Windows Autopatch configures eligible devices to benefit from Microsoft Edge's progressive rollouts on the Stable channel and will provide support for issues with Microsoft Edge updates.
    • Microsoft Teams: Windows Autopatch allows eligible devices to benefit from the standard automatic update channels and will provide support for issues with Teams updates.
      • | -| What does Windows Autopatch do to ensure updates are done successfully? | For Windows quality updates, updates are applied to device in the Test ring first. The devices are evaluated, and then rolled out to the First, Fast then Broad rings. There's an evaluation period at each progression.

      This process is dependent on customer testing and verification of all updates during these rollout stages. The outcome is to ensure that registered devices are always up to date and disruption to business operations is minimized to free up your IT department from that ongoing task. | -| What happens if there's an issue with an update? | Autopatch relies on the following capabilities to help resolve update issues.

      1. Pausing and resuming: If Windows Autopatch detects an issue with a Windows quality release, we may decide that it's necessary to pause that release. Once the issue is resolved, the release will be resumed. For more information, see [Pausing and resuming a Windows quality release](../operate/windows-autopatch-wqu-overview.md#pausing-and-resuming-a-release).
      2. Rollback: If Windows Autopatch detects issues between versions of Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise, we might force all devices to roll back to the previous version. For more information, see [Update controls for Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise](../operate/windows-autopatch-microsoft-365-apps-enterprise.md#update-controls).
      | -| Will Windows quality updates be released more quickly after vulnerabilities are identified, or what is the regular cadence of updates? | For zero-day threats, Autopatch will have an [expedited release cadence](../operate/windows-autopatch-wqu-overview.md#expedited-releases). For normal updates Autopatch uses a [regular release cadence](../operate/windows-autopatch-wqu-overview.md#windows-quality-update-releases) starting with devices in the Test ring and completing with general rollout to the Broad ring. | -| Can customers configure when to move to the next ring or is it controlled by Windows Autopatch? | The decision of when to move to the next ring is handled by Windows Autopatch; it isn't customer configurable. | -| Can you customize the scheduling of an update rollout to only install on certain days and times? | No, you can't customize update scheduling. However, you can specify [active hours](../operate/windows-autopatch-wqu-end-user-exp.md#servicing-window) to prevent users from updating during business hours. | -| Does Autopatch support include and exclude groups, or dynamic groups to define ring membership? | Windows autopatch doesn't support managing update ring membership using your Azure AD groups. For more information, see [Move devices between rings](../operate/windows-autopatch-update-management.md#moving-devices-between-rings). | -| Does Autopatch have two release cadences per update or are there two release cadences per-ring? | The release cadences are defined based on the update type.

The application makes the request using the Azure Active Directory Web Account Manager plug-in.
      Users must provide two factors of authentication. In this phase, the user has already provided one factor of authentication, typically user name and password. The Azure MFA service provides the second factor of authentication. If the user has performed Azure MFA within the last 10 minutes, such as when registering the device from the out-of-box-experience (OOBE), then they are not prompted for MFA because the current MFA remains valid.

Challenging users for input more than once should be avoided. Windows 11 and Windows 10 can enable a true SSO experience from the preboot environment on modern devices and in some cases even on older devices when robust information protection configurations are in place. The TPM in isolation is able to securely protect the BitLocker encryption key while it is at rest, and it can securely unlock the operating system drive. When the key is in use and thus in memory, a combination of hardware and Windows capabilities can secure the key and prevent unauthorized access through cold-boot attacks. Although other countermeasures like PIN-based unlock are available, they aren't as user-friendly; depending on the devices’ configuration they may not offer additional security when it comes to key protection.

Such a PIN requirement can prevent an attacker who has physical access to a PC from even getting to the Windows sign-in, which makes it virtually impossible for the attacker to access or modify user data and system files. Requiring a PIN at startup is a useful security feature because it acts as a second authentication factor (a second “something you know”). This configuration comes with some costs, however. One of the most significant is the need to change the PIN regularly. In enterprises that used BitLocker with Windows 7 and the Windows Vista operating system, users had to contact systems administrators to update their BitLocker PIN or password. This requirement not only increased management costs but made users less willing to change their BitLocker PIN or password regularly. Windows 11 and Windows 10 users can update their BitLocker PINs and passwords themselves, without administrator credentials. Not only will this feature reduce support costs, but it could improve security, too, because it encourages users to change their PINs and passwords more often.

As a computer powers on, the device remains in a locked state and is only unlocked after the AK decrypts the DEK. Once the AK decrypts the DEK, read-write operations can take place on the device. When writing data to the drive, it passes through an encryption engine before the write operation completes. Likewise, reading data from the drive requires the encryption engine to decrypt the data before passing that data back to the user. In the event that the DEK needs to be changed or erased, the data on the drive doesn't need to be re-encrypted. A new Authentication Key needs to be created and it will re-encrypt the DEK.

For more details on doing this assessment, see the [WDAC Design Guide](windows-defender-application-control-design-guide.md). Optionally, WDAC can align with your software catalog and any IT department–approved applications. One straightforward method to implement WDAC is to use existing images to create one master WDAC policy. You do so by creating a WDAC policy from each image, and then by merging the policies. This way, what is installed on all of those images will be allowed to run, if the applications are installed on a computer based on a different image. Alternatively, you may choose to create a base applications policy and add policies based on the computer’s role or department.

Therefore, WDAC controls each of these components separately through different rule collections, such as exe, dll, script, and Windows Installer rules. In contrast, all the components of a packaged app share the same publisher name, package name, and package version attributes.

The rules for classic Windows apps and packaged apps can be enforced in tandem. The differences between packaged apps and classic Windows apps that you should consider include: - **Installing the apps**   All packaged apps can be installed by a standard user, whereas a number of classic Windows apps require administrative privileges to install. In an environment where most of the users are standard users, you might not have numerous exe rules (because classic Windows apps require administrative privileges to install), but you might want to have more explicit policies for packaged apps. -- **Changing the system state**   Classic Windows apps can be written to change the system state if they are run with administrative privileges. Most packaged apps cannot change the system state because they run with limited privileges. When you design your WDAC policies, it is important to understand whether an app that you are allowing can make system-wide changes. +- **Changing the system state**   Classic Windows apps can be written to change the system state if they are run with administrative privileges.

A *trustworthy state* can be assigned to indicate that the current device can physically achieve the trusted state with required software and configuration changes. For each device that is assigned a trustworthy status, make an accompanying configuration note that states what is required to enable the device to achieve trusted status. This information is especially important to both the project design team (to estimate the costs of adding the device to the solution) and the support staff (to enable them to apply the required configuration). Generally, trustworthy devices fall into one of the following two groups: -- **Configuration required.** The current hardware, operating system, and software enable the device to achieve a trustworthy state. However, additional configuration changes are required. For example, if the organization requires a secure file system before a device can be considered trusted, a device that uses a FAT32-formatted hard disk does not meet this requirement. +- **Configuration required.** The current hardware, operating system, and software enable the device to achieve a trustworthy state.

This type of device usually needs an operating system upgrade or additional software that forces the required hardware upgrade. For example, security software might require additional hard disk space on the device. - - **Device replacement required.** This category is reserved for devices that cannot support the security requirements of the solution because their hardware cannot support the minimum acceptable configuration.
