Endpoint Privilege Management use case scenarios

Question

Hi, I am thinking of EPM trial but first want to be sure the following tasks are supported:

laptop network reset, issue with DNS settings that happens usually when users change WiFi network after being connected to the VPN

fixing software issues or removing/reinstalling software when it is not possible through Software Center

editing “hosts” file, when users have to edit hosts file by requirements of projects they are working on

not so often but it happens that Drivers, Windows or Software update needs to be installed manually

Answer

@Bojan Zivkovic, Thanks for posting in Q&A. In Fact, With Microsoft Intune Endpoint Privilege Management (EPM) your organization’s users can run as a standard user (without administrator rights) and complete tasks that require elevated privileges. Tasks that commonly require administrative privileges are application installs, updating device drivers, and running certain Windows diagnostics.

Endpoint Privilege Management supports executable files including those with the .msi extension and .ps1 PowerShell scripts. For other file format, it doesn't support.

If your software is with these formats, it can work. For the network resetting or host editing, if they can be done via PowerShell script, I think we can elevate for this script to make it work.

Hope the above information can help.
