What’s new in Microsoft Intune June 2024 | Microsoft Intune Blog
“RAC (Remove apps and configuration) feature is beneficial because it allows IT admins to troubleshoot mobile devices more effectively by temporarily removing apps or configurations that might be causing issues. The key advantage is that it automatically restores these settings within 8-24 hours, ensuring devices quickly return to compliance without manual intervention. This not only saves time but also streamlines the troubleshooting process, making it easier to identify and resolve problems without long-term disruptions.”
