In this blog I would like to describe, how I managed to set required user settings to Windows 10.
Since I still do have an On-Premises environment, in which also File Servers reside and a DFS Namespace is still up and running, I wanted to make sure to get the advantages of using the local network.
So here are my two use-cases to solve:
1. Add a Network location for the DFS Path if the user is logged on On-Premises
2. Modify the local “host” file, to redirect the workfolder clients to the file server internally

Martin Wüthrich Application Management, EMM, MDM, Remote Workplace, Software Deployment, Windows 10, Windows 10 Mobile

Today I would like to show you how the newly available Microsoft Windows Store for Business works, and how you implement it for your Windows 10 Mobile users.
The most interesting part for Businesses with the new Store is the fact, that end users do not longer need a Microsoft Account (which is the former Live-ID or MSN Account long time ago), instead they can download and install applications from the store with their Organizational or what I would call them with the Azure Active Directory Account.
To activate the Business Store for your Azure Tenant, you will need to have an Account with the Global Administrator permission (Source). With this account, you can go on to this Location and sign-up for the Business Store. Continue reading →
