Introduction
Hello!
I hope you’ve had a good week and that things are going well. For the past few years, I’ve felt there are always so many exciting things happening at the same time. It’s impossible to find the time to dive into everything. I’ve stepped back a little from the purely technical trenches and focused more on the bigger picture. This newsletter helps me stay grounded in endpoint management and I hope it does the same for you
This week there’s a mix of Microsoft announcements and excellent community contributions. Microsoft shared updates on Copilot Studio, Windows 365 Reserve, Intune’s August release, and new Hot patch guidance. From the community, you’ll find deep dives into printing security, Graph paging with PowerShell, BitLocker recovery, Windows 11 readiness, Intune cleanup rules, BIOS dashboards, and much more. On top of that, there’s plenty of talk around OOBE updates, Intune RBAC improvements, and fresh tools from the community.
Talk to you next week!
