Updates to app configuration policies for Android Enterprise devices

The minimum OS version for Android devices is Android 10.
Starting with Intune 2410, Android 10 and later is the minimum Android OS version that is supported for user-based management methods, which includes:
- Android Enterprise personally-owned work profile
- Android Enterprise corporate owned work profile
- Android Enterprise fully managed
- Android Open Source Project (AOSP) user-based
- Android device administrator
- App protection policies (APP)
- App configuration policies (ACP) for managed apps
- For enrolled devices on unsupported OS versions (Android 9 and lower)
Note: Although Intune does not stop devices running unsupported Android OS versions from enrolling or managing, use is not advised and functionality is not guaranteed.
Additional Windows device inventory details collection
Beginning with the Intune 2410 release, additional files and registry keys are collected to help troubleshoot the Device Hardware Inventory feature. This feature is exclusively for devices running Windows 11 and Windows 10.
New UI for Intune Company Portal app for Windows
The Windows version of the Intune Company Portal software has a new user interface. Consumers can now enjoy a better desktop app experience without sacrificing previously used features. Particular UI enhancements are targeted at the Downloads & Updates, Devices, and Home pages. The updated layout is easier to use and makes clear where consumers need to act.
Microsoft provided the following screenshot to demonstrate the new UI for the company portal app on a Windows device.
New strong mapping requirements for SCEP certificates authenticating with KDC
For certificate-based authentication, the Key Distribution Center (KDC) requires that user or device objects be tightly mapped to Active Directory.
Accordingly, the subject alternative name (SAN) of a Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol (SCEP) certificate needs to have a security identifier (SID) extension that corresponds to the SID of the user or device in Active Directory.
The mapping requirement guarantees that certificate-based authentication against the KDC keeps functioning and guards against certificate spoofing.
