Let’s discuss how to Create Configure Deploy Windows 10 WIP Policies Using SCCM Intune Endpoint Protection. Endpoint Protection is the new solution that will replace Windows Information Protection (WIP).
In this post, I’ll overview the Windows Information Protection (WIP)/Enterprise Data Protection (EDP) policy configuration and Windows 10 EDP End User Experience.
WIP/EDP is fully supported in the recently released Windows 10 anniversary edition (1607),y. We can use Intune standalone and SCCM CB 1606 to configure Windows Information Protection policies. Endpoint Protection policies?
Before implementing the WIP in your organization, it’s essential to find out which WIP-enabled applications are available, and we have to define which WIP mode the applications will be in, Allow or Exempt.
Before I go into details, here is a video tutorial explaining the configurations and a Windows 10 end-user experience demo. I used Windows 10 Insider Build 14342 with Microsoft Intune.
It is essential to understand that WIP is a Microsoft accidental Data Leakage protection solution. Windows 10 enterprise has loads of security enhancements. I think Microsoft invested heavily mainly in 3 pieces, and those are
1. Secure Identities 2. Information Protection 3. Threat Resistance.
How to Create Configure Deploy Windows 10 WIP Policies Using SCCM Intune Endpoint Protection – Data Protection Options? Endpoint Protection
Windows Information Protection/EDP is part of Information Protection. For information protection, Microsoft recommends having the following.
Data Protection Options? Endpoint Protection
Encryption (Bit locker),
WIP/EDP
Azure Information Protection (or RMS).

I’ll give an overview of the Windows Information Protection (WIP)/Enterprise Data Protection (EDP) policy configuration and Windows 10 EDP End User Experience through this video.
Endpoint ProtectionHow to Create Configure Deploy Windows 10 WIP Policies Using SCCM Intune Endpoint Protection – Video 1
Following are the Quick Steps to Configure (Intune Console) the Windows 10 EDP Policies
Configure the list of Windows 10 Apps (Universal/Store or Desktop) that you want to protect through EDP Select the EDP/WIP Mode of protection, Configure the Network locations/IP Range, and Upload the Data Recovery certificates and EDP settings.
Configure the List of Windows 10 Apps (Universal/Store or Desktop) that You Want to Protect through WIP
There are two types of Apps in the Intune console, which we can configure Universal/Store and Desktop apps. To configure Windows 10 EDP/WIP policies, we must first identify the applications you want to protect via EDP policies.
First, we need to obtain the publisher details and app product names. We do this through the Intune Console.

SCCM Console
Specify app rules for applying the enterprise data EDP policy. Only apps that meet these rules will be allowed to access enterprise resources, and all other apps will be blocked from doing so.

The store’s publisher, product name, and desktop apps are found using Local Security Policy –> Application Control Policies –> App Locker –> Package app Rules.

Select the WIP/EDP Mode of Protection
Which mode of protection did you want to select for the EDP policy – I selected the block mode !! The protection modes available in the EDP policy are listed in the below table. 1. Block 2. Override 3. Silent 4. Off
How to Create Configure Deploy Windows 10 WIP Policies Using SCCM Intune Endpoint Protection – Fig.5
Configure the Network Locations through EDP/WIP Policies
Network locations that the apps you configure can access. No other apps can access these locations. These network location settings are critical for EDP/WIP policy to work on Windows 10 machines!! Below 4 network location settings are mandatory settings (I think):-
Primary Domain (my primary domain is trail tenant)
Outlook.office.com|outlook.office365.com Enterprise Network Domain (The Dummy URL is fine, I think – it worked for me)
blogs.anoopcnair.com Enterprise IPv4 Range (Any IP range is fine, I think – Hyper-V lab IP Range worked for me) Internal IP range 192.0.0.1-192.255.255.254Intune Console.

Define your corporate network boundary to be protected by Enterprise data protection. Access to these network locations will be restricted to only the apps that meet the app criteria defined in the App rules.

Configure WIP/EDP Data Recovery Agent Cert
Configuring the WIP/EDP Data recovery agent cert is mandatory now !! The recommended way is to re-use the EFS DRA from your domain when you have one. There are some other ways to create a test cert !! I have uploaded one, as you can see in the below picture.

Configure WIP/EDP Policy Settings
WIP/EDP Settings – The last WIP/EDP configuration in Intune. By default, none of these settings are enabled !! Allow user to edit or decrypt data –> NO. Protect App content when the device is in a locked state –> Yes.

Windows 10 WIP/EDP – End User Experience
In my example here – WordPad is NOT a protected APP – I tried to copy the enterprise mail content to an unprotected app, and it gave me the following error: “This is work content only – your organization, PuneITPro.onmicrosoft.com, doesn’t allow you to change the ownership of this content from work to Personal”

Notepad is an EDP-protected app. I tried to copy the enterprise mail content to a WIP/EDP-protected app (NOTEPAD), which allowed me to do so. You should notice the EDP lock symbol.

How to Migrate SCCM CB Primary Server to New Hardware Configuration Manager ConfigMgr? How do we Migrate the SCCM CB 1606 primary server to new hardware or a new virtual server?
How can I restore the SCCM CB primary server from the full SCCM backup? I’ll try to answer these two questions in this blog post and the video.
I used SCCM CB full backup to migrate the primary server into a virtual server. In this scenario, the SCCM CB primary site server and Database server are on the same box.
After the migration, Intune/cloud communication was not working, and all the logs (CloudUserSync.log, DMPUploader.log, and DMPDownloader.log) filled with “Certmgr has not installed certificate yet, sleep for 1 minute.”.
The resolution was to remove the Intune subscription and add it back. More details about “Migrate SCCM CB Primary server to New Hardware or new virtual server“. How to Migrate SCCM CB Primary server to New Hardware Configuration Manager ConfigMgr.

Let’s discuss SCCM ConfigMgr CB: How to Plan Backup Recovery Configuration Manager Best Options. What are the backup and recovery options changes in SCCM ConfigMgr CB 1606? Nothing much changed in terms of backup apart from taking a backup of the CD.Latest folder.
The CD.LATEST folder is also backed up as part of the SCCM CB full backup. Why do we need the CD.LATEST as part of the SCCM CB full backup? This is because it is a source file for when you want to recover an SCCM CB site server!
Why can’t we use the baseline version, which can be downloaded from MSDN/Volume Licensing sites? Those binaries can’t be used because they are not the same version of SCCM CB that is installed in your primary server/CAS.
The baseline version of SCCM CB production is 1511, and if you upgraded/updated the site to SCCM CB 1606 using Updates and Servicing, you can’t use the 1511 version source files to recover the primary site.
When Do You Want to Run SCCM CB Setup from CD.LATEST Folder? – SCCM ConfigMgr CB How to Plan Backup Recovery Configuration Manager Best Options
Only when you are trying to recover a site !! In the following video, I try to explain the process of back and restore. Also, when to select which option during the recovery process.
There is always a question of whether to use SCCM full backup or just SQL backup to restore the functionality of SCCM sites. My answer is, “It depends.”
SCCM CB supports both the scenarios mentioned above; however, in some of the scenarios, you may need a full SCCM CB backup to complete the restore. The SCCM restore and recovery come with loads of permutations and combinations, as I explained in the table below and the video above.
