Configuration Manager 1906 Hotfix KB4529827

A new hotfix KB4529827 has been released for Configuration Manager version 1906. This hotfix addresses an issue where Configuration Manager clients incorrectly detect co-management state.

As per Microsoft “SCCM 1906 clients workloads (including device configuration and Windows Update policies) fail when Windows Information Protection policy settings are applied. This occurs for devices that are using Mobile Application Manager (MAM), but not enrolled in Intune Mobile Device Management (MDM).

The following message is logged in the CoManagementHandler.log – This device is enrolled to an unexpected vendor.

Most of all if you are currently running Configuration Manager 1906 and if you aren’t experiencing the above issue, you may skip installing this hotfix. You may skip this hotfix and install SCCM 1910 when it’s available.
