Endpoint Management Weekly Community Newsletter – February 20-26, 2023

Introduction

Hello!

Spring is in the air in Sweden today. My energy immediately goes up with some sun and light! I feel ready to leave February behind and welcome March next week!  

This week we have quite a few different highlights.

Rebranding of Microsoft Endpoint Manager Admin Center to Microsoft Intune Admin Center

ConfigMgr Technical Preview 2302 has been released. An interesting new feature is Enable Windows features introduced via Windows servicing that is off by default. 

Check out the official release statement by Microsoft here:
