Microsoft Intune management of Surface firmware settings

Microsoft Intune is excited to introduce management of UEFI BIOS settings (device firmware on most new hardware), powered by the intelligent cloud using Device Firmware Configuration Interface (DFCI). Until now BIOS management has been proprietary per-OEM, often creating an inconsistent experience to deliver security with ease-of-deployment. With DFCI support, IT administrators gain the efficiency of cloud-scale remote firmware management with zero-touch device provisioning and built-in security. DFCI will initially apply to Surface devices, and an open-source framework will be published to enable third-party OEM partners. DFCI supports zero-touch provisioning, eliminates BIOS passwords, provides control of security settings including boot options and built-in peripherals, and lays the groundwork for advanced security scenarios in the future.

Message Recall in Exchange Online

The Outlook for Windows Message Recall feature is extremely popular with users, yet it doesn’t always work so well. Part of the problem is that the recall is client-based, and the recall can only happen if the recipient also uses Outlook. With millions of users with mailboxes in Office 365, we’re now able to improve upon that feature by performing the recall directly in the cloud in Office 365 mailboxes, so it doesn’t matter which email client the recipient uses, the recall takes place in their Office 365 mailbox, and when their client syncs their mail, the message is gone. While there are still some conditions where the recall still won’t happen (like the message being read by the recipient), moving the recall to the cloud significantly improves the recall success rate. Additionally, we’ll now also offer an aggregate message recall status report, to make it simpler to see for whom the recall succeeded and for whom it failed.
