![]() With many of you starting to make a shift in how devices are managed, and adoption of Microsoft Intune making huge grounds, we are pleased to announce the BETA release of Intune BIOS Control. ![]() In much the same way that Modern BIOS Management has been a control mechanism used by organizations to provide control and automation of BIOS firmware updates with Configuration Manager, we set out to to deliver the same functionality, but in Microsoft Intune. So how can we integrate a control mechanism so that IT admins have greater control over the release of these updates? Intune BIOS Control These are of course the exception to the rule, and updating the firmware is something that you simply should be doing from a security point of view. This is yet another reason for moving out to WUfB for many organizations, however, what if you need granular control over the rollout of these firmware updates? Many organizations have been “bitten” in the past with firmware updates causing issues, such as Windows BitLocker recovery screens, TPM chips vanishing, and a host of other stability issues. ![]() Microsoft Surface devices were of course the first to gain this ability, but now we see additional OEM’s using this capability, although this does depend on support for your model. ![]() Intune does provide firmware updates through Windows Update for Business today, and can update your devices with the latest security and functional features within your BIOS firmware. With this post we are releasing our first version of a community solution that gives you similar control over BIOS updates on your Intune managed devices as you today have using our Modern BIOS Management solution for Configuration Manager using the Driver Automation tool.
