Summary:
The message informs about the deprecation of "OS Optimization" gallery images for Windows 365 by mid-November 2024. Users must update their provisioning policies to the new images to avoid provisioning failures. Warnings will begin in October 2024, and by mid-November, the images will become unsupported. Users are advised to prepare by updating policies and informing IT administrators.

Details:
As mentioned in MC807444, new versions of the "OS Optimizations" Windows 365 gallery images for Windows 10 and Windows 11 are now available in the Azure Marketplace and can be used when creating or editing provisioning policies in the Microsoft Intune admin center. These images now come with the same optimizations previously found in the gallery images that included pre-installed Microsoft 365 Apps, simplifying provisioning management and ensuring consistent policy settings for Cloud PCs. To support this goal of simplification and consistency, the optimized gallery images will be deprecated in mid-November 2024. After this date, these images will no longer be available for new or existing provisioning policies, or for admin actions such as reprovisioning.
