It's All Wonky

** Update 11/16/2017 ** I have come to the conclusion that Microsoft Intune for Education is NOT ready for prime time and I seriously doubt if it ever will be.  There are so many simple things that cannot be done.  I don't think Microsoft's heart is really in it. Examples: You cannot use a group policy (GPO).   For some reason, the intune keeps disabling the power icon on the login screen and disabling the power button on the device.  The only way to power down nicely is to log all the way in and then choose shutdown.  This is a policy issue (not controllable through intune) but manually fixing the policy doesn't stick -- it gets turned back off.

Microsoft will offer to have a "partner" call you, but they never will actually call you. Microsoft's education website talks a LOT about their tools but it mixes "free" tools with "pay" tools without telling you which is which. Their employees don't know the answer either.  (e.g. Is that OneNote for education in the videos part of the free office 365 or is it a pai...
