SILVERLIGHT EOL UPDATE

We strongly recommend you update to the latest version of Windows 10.

Unenroll devices with the PC software client and re-enroll the device using MDM.

You can review your options here: Intune enrollment methods for Windows devices.

Decide the right modern enrollment mechanism for your organization.

Review reporting in Silverlight to find those PC’s that are managed by the PC software client.

Note that many device management policies were migrated several years ago as part of the admin console migration, so double check device management in Azure before you create any policies.

Recreate your existing Windows 10 policies as MDM policies.

Get familiar with device administration at.

For existing PC software client devices, you’ll want to remove the PC software client and enroll the device in the MDM channel instead. Our telemetry indicates you have PC software client managed Windows devices that will need to be MDM enrolled in order to stay managed by Intune past the above-reference date.Īs you move forward with PC refresh or updates, enroll new Windows 10 devices into the MDM channel instead of using the PC software client. Move your day-to-day Intune administration from Silverlight to the Microsoft Endpoint Manager admin center. In addition, Intune will end the Intune Storage Add-On licensing offer which was only used for app storage in Silverlight. This retirement includes ending support for the Silverlight console configured PC software client (also known as the PC agent) used for Windows PC management. Microsoft Intune will retire support for the Silverlight-based Intune console on October 15, 2020. We'll continue to update this post as needed. Today, we're posting a message in the message center to all customers who have PC's managed using the PC software client or the Storage Add-On licensing offer. Here's the original post from last October.
