Intune Microsoft Store app changes

The Microsoft Store for Education will be retired soon. Microsoft Intune is removing support for the Microsoft Store for Education on June 15^th, 2023.

To continue deploying Minecraft Education you need to switch to the new Microsoft Store app type in Intune. The new Microsoft Store app type is available in the Microsoft Intune admin console and the Intune for Education admin console.

The high-level steps are:

1. Create the new Microsoft Store app type for Minecraft Education and select the install context as System.
2. Copy all the group assignments from the Store for Education version of Minecraft Education to the new Microsoft Store app type version.

You can see a demonstration of these steps on YouTube for the Intune admin console:
