DPC Extras issues
Hello, I hope you're doing well. I'm reaching out for assistance on an issue I'm experiencing with DPC extras on ZTE devices. Is there a method to implement DPC extras without using a QR code? It appears that even when configuring ZTE with DPC extras, some functionalities do not activate. Additionally, several design elements seem less than optimal. For instance, if you do not use a QR code before selecting the language—which, ideally, should be sourced from the DPC—there's an option presented to transfer data from another device. This option seems inappropriate for a company-owned device. Could this be improved? The next screen prompts a WiFi connection. Using a QR code skips this step, but users still need to manually confirm the WiFi connection. Could this be streamlined? Is it possible to enroll a device as an admin, reset it, and have the DPC extras from the QR code persist on the device until it connects to WiFi and verifies its management status? It seems everyone is adding devices to ZTE for security reasons, particularly for stolen devices, yet the reliance on QR codes adds unnecessary complexity. Could this process be made more user-friendly?Intune - Cannot change screen lock timeout
Hello community, I'm writing this post 'cause I'm facing a strange issue with the lock screen setting on our AE devices managed from Intune. The configuration policy was created by my predecessor years ago, and was configured for lock teh screen after one minute. Everything working and all happy. Then I got the request for create an exception group for that, and everything I tried failed. I tried to change the global policy to 5 mins, but it did not worked, and the maximum lock screen time is still one minute. Also remove the setting at all and left it Not Configured didn't had any effect. Then I tried to disable One Lock. With this I was able to change the system lock screen settings but on Settings - Security and Privacy - More Security Settings - Work Profile Security - Use one lock I cannot set anything longer than one minute. Pretty sure this is coming from somewhere in Intune, but also involving Microsoft and sending them the verbose logs wasn't enough. Did any of you ever encountered a similar issue and found a solution? Many thanks in advance for everyone that will try to help.

What security threats do you experience the most?
Hey everyone, Stop what you’re doing - episode 2 of The Secure Element is out now! Tune in as Bigdogburr and Theresa Lanowitz, Chief Cybersecurity Evangelist at LevelBlue, dive into achieving cyber resilience in an era of boundaryless computing. Their discussion truly reinforced for me just how vital a holistic approach to securing all end-user computing is - from laptops to mobiles, and everything in between - especially with cyberattacks becoming so sophisticated. The role AI plays in crafting these increasingly targeted attacks was a real eye-opener! This episode got me thinking about the real-world threats we’re all facing. What are the kinds of cyber threats you are most confronted with? Cast your vote in the comment section below: Phishing / Quishing/ Smishing (Email, SMS, or QR code tricks) Deepfakes (Convincing fake video/ voice calls) Malicious apps (Apps designed to steal data/ compromise devices) Network attacks (Rogue or Spoofed Wi-Fi, man in the middle, etc.) Other (please share more details in the comments!) And share some wisdom! Do you have some tips on how to identify a cyber attack? If you’ve been targeted, what’s one key lesson learned that you think everyone should hear? Looking forward to reading your stories. Chat soon, Emilie
Impact of Intune's NFC restriction setting on IC card reading and Nearby Share
Hello, I'm managing Android Enterprise devices via Intune and would like to confirm the behavior of a specific device restriction setting related to NFC. ■ Device: AQUOS wish4 (Android), enrolled as a fully managed device ■ Policy applied: Device configuration profile with "Beam data using NFC (work-profile level)" set to Block ■ Policy configuration path in Intune Admin Center: Microsoft Intune Admin Center > Devices > Manage devices > Configuration Platform: Android Enterprise Profile type: Template > Device restrictions Configuration settings > General - Beam data using NFC (work-profile level): Block ○ Background and expectation: My understanding is that this setting is intended to block NFC-based data transfer (i.e., Android Beam) within the work profile. However, I initially assumed it might also block general NFC usage, such as reading contactless transit cards or using mobile wallet services. ○ Test scenario and results: After applying the policy to a fully managed AQUOS wish4 device, I observed the following: The NFC toggle remains available and functional under: Settings > Connection settings > More connection settings > NFC I installed an app that reads contactless transit cards used for public transportation (e.g., Suica or PASMO in Japan) and confirmed that it successfully retrieved the card balance via NFC ○ Interpretation: Based on this behavior, I suspect that the policy only affects the deprecated Android Beam feature, which used NFC for peer-to-peer file sharing. It does not block general NFC functionality such as card reading or mobile payments, nor does it impact newer sharing technologies like Nearby Share or Quick Share, which rely on Bluetooth and Wi-Fi Direct. ■ Questions: Is my understanding correct that "Beam data using NFC (work-profile level)" only restricts Android Beam functionality and does not affect general NFC usage? Is there a way to restrict Nearby Share / Quick Share on fully managed Android devices via Intune, or would that require a different configuration or approach? Any insights, documentation references, or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
