Last month Microsoft released the iOS 9 Intune extension for ConfigMgr. At a customer with Hybrid scenario (ConfigMgr with Intune) the following happens when opening the ConfigMgr console. A prompt is displayed that a new extension is available, with the choice to install it right away, or open the console in read-only mode. When select -install- an error message is displayed, and you can start all over again. Let's have a look at this.
The first message displayed is "Extensions for Microsoft Intune have been enabled or disabled for this site. To update this console with the changes, click Yes. To continue without updating the console, click No. The console will be restarted in read-only mode."
When select Install the following message is displayed: "The feature task requires that you close the Configuration Manager console. Close all open Configuration Manager consoles and retry the operation".
Trick is no ConfigMgr consoles are open, nothing seems to happen and reopening the console would bring me back to the start again!
Solution for this is to start an elevated (admin) command prompt and navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Configuration Manager\AdminConsole\bin. Run AdminUI.ExtensionInstaller.exe /Q from there. After that the console can be opened fine, and no popup is displayed anymore.
Maybe useful for future updates too :-)
Last month Microsoft released the iOS 9 Intune extension for ConfigMgr. At a customer with Hybrid scenario (ConfigMgr with Intune) however the iOS 9 extensions was missing. Whenever starting the ConfigMgr console, no new message are displayed.
We logged a call with Intune Support and the following did the trick:
Start SQL Management Studio and run the following queries against the SMS database.
Select * from CFDMetadata where FeatureID = 'FFFF4E99-5BD9-4A82-BC9F-7864FCAEA519'
update CFDMetadata set MinCMVersion = '5.00.8239.1000', MaxCMVersion = '5.00.8239.9999', MoreInfoLink = 'https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=330435', ReleasedDate = '2015-09-11 09:09:00.000' where FeatureID = 'FFFF4E99-5BD9-4A82-BC9F-7864FCAEA519' and FeatureVersion = 300001214
After starting both queries, the iOS Intune extension became available. Hope it helps!
When the following warning is seen in ConfigMgr console: "You do not have permission to manage Extensions for Windows intune. You need All scope permissions to manage these extensions", just take the following action. It's not that hard to chance at all ;)
Just login ConfigMgr console (with another Administrator account then the one which gives the warning), and go to Administration > Security > Administrative Users. Select the account which gives the warning, choose properties, Security Scopes, and select "All instances of the objects that are related to the assigned security roles".
By default this option is on "Only the instances of objects that are assigned to the specified security scopes or collections". After changing the option, and starting the ConfigMgr console with the Administrator account used before, you will see that Extensions for Windows intune are available now. What I say before, not that hard at all ;)
Hope it helps!
