what version of SCCM is this ? are you using Configuration Manager to manage bitlocker or MBAM on another server ?

it's failing due to this package missing on the dp Content location request for RPI00002:3 failed. (Code 0x80040102)

yours is bombing out very early, in the prerequisites check, you can try remming out the call to 'fixing odbf' function, it's at line 587, it's not needed (for my work environment only) # fix odbf computer name before continuing LogWrite "Fixing ODBF" FixODBF fix it like so (place # in front of those 2 lines) # fix odbf computer name before continuing #LogWrite "Fixing ODBF" #FixODBF once done, save the changes and test again please

good idea and thanks for the thanks !

if this is a lab i'd suggest you rebuild the lab (doesn't take long) and before converting the lab to PKI take snapshots of the virtual machines, so you have different states (http/https/e-http) if you cannot do that then you'll have to experiment with removing bindings in IIS for https, removing the certificates to the dp role and more, and removing certificate services, quite a mess, you could basically undo all the settings where you switched to HTTPS back to HTTP

i guess you modified the script ? did you look at part 3 the troubleshooting part it gives you some ideas to help with troubleshooting

the intune policies will hit as soon as the device becomes managed by Intune which usually occurs after we join Azure AD, why do you want to disable Windows Hello For Business ?

Introduction If you are testing Windows 365 and want to delete your Cloud PC in order to start over again from scratch, the process is (currently) not that straightforward, but that's what I'll cover in this blog post. Note that Delete is not the same as re-provisioning a Cloud PC (which I'll cover in another blog post). If you are new to Windows 365 then checkout this blog post series where myself and Paul explain what it is and how to get started. Step 1. Verify the current status of the Cloud PC Once you've provisioned one or more Cloud PC's they'll show up in Microsoft Endpoint Manager in the Windows 365 node as shown below. If the Cloud PC is in use and all is OK the Status will be listed as Provisioned. Once you've decided that you want to delete a Cloud PC, the first thing to do is to remove the assigned license from the user of that resource. In the screenshot above we can see that the user is testuser1@windowsnoob.com. Step 2. Remove the Windows 365 license from the target user Log in to the Office Admin portal and expand the billing node (1), then select licenses (2) and then select the Windows 365 License type (3), as shown here. After selecting the appropriate Windows 365 license type, select the checkbox beside the user you wish to remove the assignment from and then select Unassign licenses. You will be asked to confirm that you want to Unassign X licenses (depending on how many users you are removing the license from), click Unassign to continue. After clicking Unassign the screen will be updated to reveal that fact. Step 3. Check the new status of the Cloud PC Back in MEM, check the status of the Cloud PC that you have just removed the license from. Hit Refresh to update the status. It will most likely show No Results, if so, remove the filter (red arrow). After removing the Status Equal filter, you should see your Cloud PC in a Status of In Grace Period. Step 4. End the grace period To delete the Cloud PC as quickly as possible, click on the In grace period status. This grace period normally allows the Cloud PC to remain in this state for up to 7 days. Click on End grace period confirm your action by clicking Yes to the destructive action warning. After clicking yes the following occurs... The Cloud PC will start deprovisioning. The user loses access to the Cloud PC. The operating system and data are deleted from the Cloud PC. The Cloud PC is no longer available. If the original provisioning policy was replaced with a different policy, the Cloud PC will be reprovisioned with the settings in the new policy. In the MEM portal, the status of the Cloud PC will change to deprovisioning. Step 5. The user experience In the Windows 365 web portal, the user would be notified that their Cloud PC will be de-provisioned within that time limit. However, no such notification is sent to the (same) user logged on to the Cloud PC that I am aware of. After some minutes when the policy syncs to the Cloud PC the end user will see the screen 'shutting down' and the following message will appear. At this point, there is no point reconnecting as the device has been deleted. If however they do click on Reconnect they'll see the following. If the user tries to go back to the Windows 365 portal, they'll see the following. While the above process does indeed delete the Windows 365 Cloud PC, it does not remove any of the following: Associated Resource Group Associated Provisioning policies Associated Azure Network Connections Custom Image(s) User Settings If you really want everything removed then you'll have to delete those manually in MEM/Azure also. I hope you found this useful, until next time, adios. Related reading End Grace Period https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-365/enterprise/end-grace-period

yes you can run it without ConfigMgr, it's just a Powershell script after all, the ServiceUI.exe file make's it run in SYSTEM context, however, how do you intend to deploy this script to your devices ?

you can upgrade to 2207 now, it's available and it should not have this problem

things have changed since i wrote those blog posts, the most recent article on language packs is here, please take a look at it I don't capture images any more, I always make any changes that are needed via the SCCM task sequence as the computer is being deployed

thanks for reporting it !

yes it's a bug, will be fixed in 2207

ok it seems that it's a bug, but the button IS there you just can't see it, try this > use Tab to navigate and hit the Enter to launch the selection dialog, or you could use English version console to launch the wizard.

first things first, why do you want to revert ?

are you remoted to a console for this ? can you try and increase the native resolution of the console to see if the browse button shows up ? this is how it should look, you will need to select the checkbox also

ok i will ask the PG for comment and come back to you

and this worked perfectly before you upgraded to 2203 as the same user ? is the provided smsadminui.log from when the problem occurred ?

i meant if the user you were logged onto the console with has the Full Administrator role in SCCM like this...

if you mean the remaining blog posts in the series, they'll come as we add them, each takes days (or weeks) to research and put together, but we'll try and be timely

is your role a full administrator ?

what media are you using ? i'll remind you of this bit.. Requirements The method requires that you use the English (En-US) version of Windows 10 as delivered from your OEM. If any other language is applied from the factory then it might cause some of the logic to fail. If you do go down that route, then you'll need to prepare language specific versions of the zonemapping.csv and other files as necessary. So let's get started. You can always install language packs later.

Introduction This is Part 1 in a new series of guides about getting started with Windows 365. This series of guides will help you to learn all about Windows 365 in a clear and insightful way. This series is co-written by Niall & Paul, both of whom are Enterprise Mobility MVP’s with broad experience in the area of modern management. At the time of writing, Paul is a 6 times Enterprise Mobility MVP based in the UK and Niall is a 12 times Enterprise Mobility MVP based in Sweden.

Saving money with Windows Hybrid Benefit Recommended reading Get involved What is Windows 365 ? Windows 365 was introduced just over a year ago in July 2021 by Satya Nadella during the Microsoft Inspire Keynote. It was released to the public (General Availability) August 2nd, 2021. Windows 365 is a Cloud PC that runs in Microsoft's cloud and can be either Azure AD joined or Hybrid Azure AD joined. Windows 365 can be connected to from any device as long as it's HTML 5 capable. There is no need for any extra client agent. According to the official Microsoft Windows 365 FAQ (we've marked the important bits in bold) it is: As long as your device has a web browser that is HTML 5 capable then you'll be able to use a Cloud PC. That device could be iOS, Android, Linux, Mac or Windows 10 or Windows 11. There is no need for any additional Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) resources or expertise as it's all available via a web browser URL and manageable via the Admin controls (Business edition) or via Microsoft Endpoint Manager (Enterprise edition). A Cloud PC has several positives including the ability to access the Cloud PC from any device and from anywhere, it's secure as the business data contained within stays in the Cloud, and the cost is predictable. Microsoft have also recently released a new video celebrating one year with Windows 365 here and it highlighted new features that were added over the last year based on customer feedback. in addition the video revealed that the following new abilities are coming soon... Windows 365 Boot Windows 365 Switch Windows 365 Offline What editions are available ? At the time of writing there are currently 2 editions, listed below. Windows 365 Business (select this if your businesses has up to 300 users, comes with basic management) Windows 365 Enterprise (select this for unlimited users and full management with MEM) These two editions also differ based on the type of management available, so if you need to manage your Cloud PC's using Microsoft Endpoint Manager (Intune) then the Enterprise edition is for you otherwise you'll have only basic management available via the web browser session with the Business edition. What plans are available ? By default there are currently 3 plans offered for both Business and Enterprise editions. Basic Standard Premium These are pre-configured templates of Cloud PC's that should be enough for most people, the price increases as you move from Basic to Premium. These versions may not be what you actually want or need, in that case you should configure your own. Configuring your own plan You can of course configure your own by clicking on the Configure your Cloud PC link based on the edition of Windows 365 that you selected. Configure your Cloud PC - Business Configure your Cloud PC - Enterprise Once you choose to manually configure your Cloud PC the options available and the price per user per month shown to the right change depending on what you click on. For example, if you wanted the lowest possible config, then select 2 vCPU, 4GB RAM and 64GB storage, that'll come to only 28$ per user, per month (at the time of writing). Conversely, if you max out on all the options available (at the time of writing) and order a 8 vCPU, 32GB RAM and 512GB storage then it'll cost you 158$ per user, per month. How do I purchase licenses ? After picking the plan that is right for your users, you can purchase licenses for Windows 365 directly from https://www.windows365.com or via your Microsoft Sales rep or Microsoft Partner. Saving money with Windows Hybrid Benefit To get more details about all available pricing/plans and price reductions for Windows 365 see here. Take note of the ability to reduce the price based on something called Windows Hybrid Benefit. This benefit requires the following: Windows Hybrid Benefit is available to Windows 365 Business customers who have devices with valid Windows 11 Pro or Windows 10 Pro licenses. Each person assigned a Windows 365 Business license with a Windows Hybrid Benefit license must be the primary user of a Windows 11 Pro or Windows 10 Pro licensed device, and that device must be their primary work device. To maintain your discounted pricing, during any subscription term in which you access the Windows 365 service, you must also access the service from your Windows 11 Pro or Windows 10 Pro licensed device at least once during that same term. So if your users are using a Mac, iOS, Android or Linux device with a HTML 5 capable browser, then they do not qualify for the Windows Hybrid Benefit. Likewise, this is only for Windows 365 Business customers and is therefore not applicable to Windows 365 Enterprise customers.
