By creating more than one template you can change the content of the message to specify the amount of days before the device will be marked as non-compliant or be specific about why the device fell out of compliance. You specify the usage of the notification template in the “Actions for noncompliance” section of the compliance policy. Under notifications you define templates for email messages which you can use to notify the users of a device which has become non-compliant by email. You can find these generic settings by going to Devices and by clicking on Compliance Policies under the Policy section. There are some generic compliance policy settings which you can configure for your tenant, these settings are configured centrally and can be used by different compliance policies and are valid for across supported platforms. Functionality may and will change, even right after this post has been published. Using compliance state in your Conditional Access policiesĭisclaimer: This post reflects the status of Compliance Policy settings as of April 6, 2021.Explaining the Windows 10 Compliance policy.Generic compliance policy configuration.The principles and usage of the compliancy policies are the same. This blogpost will focus on compliance policies for Windows 10 devices, but you can use compliance policies for other platforms, like Android, iOS/iPadOS and macOS as well. This is important to realize, since the chance that a device becomes non-compliant right after someone modified a setting you want to enforce is minimal and it can take a while for non compliance is detected. If remediation is supported, you don’t have to create a configuration setting, enforcing the setting which you want to measure with the compliance policy.ĭuring normal operation of a device, compliancy is checked every 8 hours or if the user clicks on “Check access” from the Company portal. With remediation support we can make clients compliant once detected that they don’t meet the ruleset. Non compliant devices in Conditional Access consist of all non-managed devices plus the managed devices which don’t meet the settings in the compliance policy.įor some platforms (Windows 10 excluded) we also have options to remediate settings besides reporting on non compliance only. Devices which are not managed by MEM can’t meet the ruleset and therefore are always considered not compliant. The outcome is that the device is either Compliant, meaning that it meets the ruleset defined in the compliance policy, or the device is not compliant meaning that the device doesn’t meet the ruleset defined in the compliance policy. In MEM we can use compliance policies to measure our Mobile Device Management(MDM) clients against the rules set in the policy. We define when a device is considered compliant in Microsoft Endpoint Manager(MEM)/Intune or in Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager(MECM)/ConfigMgr. Within Conditional Access we can use the compliance status of a device as a condition or grant control for accessing Cloud applications. As far as I experience configuration packs are hardly used and not actively developed anymore. Microsoft and other vendors even supplied configuration packs, which were a set of configuration items and baselines which ConfigMgr admins could import and use in their ConfigMgr environment. In my opinion this functionality provided by ConfigMgr has always been better than using Group Policies, since by using ConfigMgr Configuration Baselines, we could set certain settings on our managed devices but also centrally monitor whether those settings were applied as well, and it also works on non Active Directory domain joined machines. You can measure for example if the Windows Firewall is enabled and configured as required, and if not enable it and remediate it’s configuration. Measuring your managed systems against a baseline has been around for a while, in Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager(MECM)/ConfigMgr we can already use one or more Configuration Items combined in a Configuration Baseline to measure and remediate clients against an imported or self created baseline.
