The biggest advanced about this feature is that it does not require your end user to be enrolled – just to have the managed Outlook installed and by logging in to the app the policy will apply. Then you just need to assign it to you users that need this settings. You can enter all the different settings that you want to configure on the Outlook Mobile app here.
As soon as the policy applies to the app – the IT department have control over the containerized company data and can remote wipe it – without removing other data on the device like the personal pictures, personal mails etc.Īll the Intune app protection policies is working even if you have a third part MDM solution do to that you can dot it without enrollment. After applying the MAM policy to your users they will get the policy at next login to Outlook no matter if their devices is enrolled or not. The reason for starting using Outlook Mobile with Intune MAM is mainly security.
In this blog post I will show how to mange the contact information inside Outlook mobile – not how to configure MAM and Conditional Access. So if we are helping the end user by using Intune MAM with conditional access to ensure that they are only using approved apps like Outlook mobile and IOS or Android. When company data is leaving the device we as a company do not have control over the data any more. The native contact app on IOS and Android is allowed to takes backup to iCloud or Google backup. Do to GDPR I have customers asking for this one – how to manged and/or prevent sync of contact information onto the native contact apps, in this blog post I will not go into what or why the data can be under the GDPR or other regulation, that is up to each company to figure out, but some times is it also internal security policy that do not allow customer data in the corporate address book to stored with out any kind of control.
