TWO SUPERSTARS 😁🤩😇 WE LOVE YOU GUYS.... I mean in a nice way 😁😁😁

[@Hans-gb4mv]

Damn, this was more work for me than I imagined, we still had old restriction policies in place that were never cleaned up that prevented me from enrolling my personal android device initially. But I'm glad to have spent the time to clear that one up now so we can finally prepare to offer a small part of our external userbase access to their email on the go. Internals get a company iPhone.
Now, if only Google and Apple learned that people could be working for multiple companies and sometimes require the ability to have multiple work profiles ...

The thing Adam mentioned about the phone number.
If you call via a softphone, e.g. Webex of UC communicator you can just disable it with work profile and not getting disturbed.

A demo of w366 with Motorola's ready for feature is definitely a good idea. I can see organizations using that instead of issuing laptops. The. Phone now becomes the thin client just plug into a USBC dock and you are ready to go.

Some might, but our users would hate it.

It's not designed for everyone, think of it for road warriors where they can just take a work phone, and plug into a screen for customer demos, where it gets complicated is a travel keyboard/mouse

[@TheStevenWhiting]

We have this setup as there are a few apps we use that don't work properly in the work profile. Also, pretty sure you could never turn off the work phone mobile number as it would always be intune independent. The only possible way would be giving out a data sim only, which would only work on wifi (which would be very limiting) and using a voip system that is setup in the work profile.
The other setup this would be used in, the work profile setup, is bring your own device. Which is somewhat pointless as you can't remove a persons ability to admin their own phone. I've also had a couple of instants where, with intune installed, the work profile has become corrupted and then wiped the whole phone. Would be a nightmare on a BYOD install.

It appears that on our set up a recent update somewhere has meant that now whenever a user locks their phone it additionally locks the work profile regardless of the inactivity time.
This has also affected the behaviour of Work Profile notifications. Now, when the Work Profile is locked, attempting to access a Work notification prompts for the Work Profile unlock but then doesn’t proceed to that Work app. This means that every time the app must be opened separately from the notification.
I can't seem to find a way to fix this

If you have a Samsung phone use corp versions of deploy. Samsung have installed a lot of apps for personal use and mess up intune big time. I would like to know if you can disable microsoft 365 buisiness acounts so you cant install them in the private area.

[@youBr4d]

Apparently My device does not meet the company requirements. Is there any way to find out what requirement it doesn't meet?

[@SeshagiriRaoPadaki]

What is the mobile device minimum storage requirement?

[@borjagomezvillar2982]

Hello guys, is this the new experience or it is because of the device model? When I enroll my Samsung A52 as personal with work profile I can see down in the screen "personal" and "work" in order to switch profile.
In your demo the result is very similar with the experience in device admin, where the work apps had that briefcase.
I will check if I have the option to turn on and off work app, but I do not think so. Is that a Pixel android 14? Thanks guys

Adam is using a Motorola device. There are some giveaways that Motorola owners know all too well and the most obvious one is the Moto app near the bottom of the home screen.
