Esta semana, Microsoft ofreció a los clientes corporativos un nuevo conjunto de ajustes de configuración que, según dice, crearían PC que son más manejables y adecuadas para grandes grupos de usuarios, desde trabajadores remotos hasta estudiantes que no lo necesitan. Que un navegador y un puñado de aplicaciones de productividad.
Variously called 'in the cloud' and 'settings cloud', the collection of settings has been touted as a way to deploy standardized PCs equipped for the most basic tasks: browsing the web, using Office and running a limited number of commercial applications. "Microsoft sees an opportunity to empower organizations by providing a recommended Windows 10 configuration for users with specific workflow needs," Ravi Ashok and Stan White, senior program manager and senior software engineer, respectively, wrote in a statement. setup guide. "Windows 10 in a cloud configuration allows IT to standardize and simplify management for these users." Microsoft's goals were twofold at the time. First, provide IT administrators with out-of-the-box, Microsoft-recommended configurations that can be applied to new or existing PCs, but awaiting a new image to make the machines useful to lower-level information workers. On the first line. workers and students. Second, create a standardized framework for PCs so administrators can manage them with the tools they already have, or more appropriately, if they're licensed for specific Microsoft 365 plans. First among these tools: Microsoft Endpoint Manager. The cloud/cloud configuration set is reminiscent of other ready-to-deploy configuration options that Microsoft offers its customers, including its various security baselines for Windows, Edge, and other products. Like these baselines, the cloud is free, although not everyone can use it. Windows 10 Pro, Enterprise, and Education PCs can be applied to the cloud, but the user must be covered by licenses for various Microsoft products, including:
- Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) Premium P1
- Microsoft Intune
- Microsoft teams
- OneDrive for business
Microsoft recommended "the bare minimum for cloud setup" to be Enterprise Mobility + Security E3 ($8.80 per user per month) and Office 365 E3 ($20 per user per month), and a device running Windows 10 Professional. A more comprehensive license would be Microsoft 365 E3 ($32 per user per month), which includes Windows 10 Enterprise. The other packaged options range from Microsoft 365 F3 ($10 per user per month) and Microsoft 365 Business Premium ($20 per user per month) to Microsoft 365 E5 ($57 per user per month). The name of the settings collection describes the basis of this Microsoft-recommended default setting and defines its limits. The primary management tool for cloud deployment is Intune, the cloud-native management platform that is part of Microsoft Endpoint Manager. Also, most of the things that set up deployments are cloud-based: online storage (OneDrive), authentication and identification (Azure AD), even though the important stuff isn't (like Office apps, which are still installed locally). But in the cloud, Microsoft says, it's only suitable for users who don't rely on on-premises services, so important components like messaging and storage come from Office 365 or Microsoft 365 subscriptions. cloud, according to Microsoft, are users who "do not depend on local infrastructure to be productive and successful in their role." Out of the gate, IT administrators must manually configure cloud settings. (This is why the configuration guide written by Ashok and White is crucial for configuration implementation.) Microsoft has said it will improve in the cloud with additional settings, or by removing or modifying ones already present, but more importantly, it's currently creating an Intune "guided scenario" that will automatically tie things together. More information about the cloud can be found in a number of places, including a new website (containing a short FAQ), the setup guide, and a blog post where Joe Lurie, a senior product manager for Microsoft 365, has answered several questions. important configuration questions.
