Deploy Google Chrome Single Sign On with Intune
When deploying Google Chrome with Microsoft Intune, users still have to manually login with their credentials into Microsoft Online websites. Microsoft Edge has built-in Single Sign On (SSO) for users who already logged in with their Microsoft account to their computer. However, there is a Chrome extension published by Microsoft themselves which allows users to also have this Single Sign On experience into Google Chrome. On this page I will show how this extension works, what the advantages are and how we can deploy this with Microsoft Intune. I will share both a Configuration Policy and a PowerShell script option where you may choose which one to use.

Remove Pre-installed Windows Store Apps with Intune
Since the latest Windows 25H2 update, we have a great new feature. We can now remove pre-installed Windows Store Applications which we don’t want to ship with our devices. This helps us alot with both Windows 365 and Azure Virtual Desktop Personal deployments as with normal Intune-joined devices. The only downside is that Pooled Azure Virtual Desktop Deployments are not supported. In this guide I will dive into this new setting and explain how to configure this and why this is a great update. The step-by-step guide shows how I have configured a policy that removes most of the non-productive apps from my PC.
