Introduction

Welcome back! It is properly hot in Sweden right now, the kind of summer where you get as close to the water as you can and stay there. Lake, sea, pool, I am working my way through all three, so I hope you are finding your own bit of shade and daylight between deployments. This edition covers a slightly longer span, from mid June into early July, and it turned out to be a big one for licensing and servicing.

Some highlights:

Intune Suite capabilities are moving into Microsoft 365 E5.
As of 1 July, Endpoint Privilege Management and Enterprise App Management are included in E5, and the June service release also brought the Vulnerability Remediation Agent into public preview, EAM app auto-updates to GA, and a redesigned Apple ADE enrollment experience. If you are on E5, it is worth checking what you now have without buying anything extra. https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/microsoftintuneblog/what%E2%80%99s-new-in-microsoft-intune-%E2%80%93-june/4491983

Windows 11 version 26H2 is available for early validation.
It ships as a small enablement package over 24H2 and 25H2, with general availability expected in the second half of the year. Now is a good time to test in the Experimental channel and line up your rings. One thing to plan around while you are there: the final phase of Kerberos RC4 hardening begins with the July security update, leaving Enforcement mode as the only supported behavior. https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/windows-itpro-blog/get-ready-for-windows-11-version-26h2/4529367

Context-based redirections for Windows 365 and Azure Virtual Desktop are in public preview.
You can now condition clipboard, drive, USB and printer redirection on Conditional Access signals such as device compliance and network location, instead of a single blanket setting. https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/windows-itpro-blog/adaptive-data-protection-with-context-based-redirections-in-windows-365-now-in-p/4521366

Hope you have a good week.

Janic Verboon shared EAM-AutoUpdater, a free PowerShell tool that automatically deploys new app versions from the Intune Enterprise App Catalog and migrates assignments, metadata and supersedence. Good timing given Enterprise App Management is now reaching E5. @JanicVerboon https://github.com/JanicVerboon/EAM-AutoUpdater

Rudy Ooms spotted that Endpoint Privilege Management is gaining system-level network configuration support, which would let standard users change settings like IP address, gateway and DNS without holding local admin rights. One to keep an eye on as it rolls out. @Mister_MDM

Trond Eirik Haavarstein flagged MDM certificate renewal failures that leave affected devices with zero usable MDM certificates, showing up as RenewStatus 3. It quietly breaks Intune management, so it is worth checking if you are seeing renewal errors in your estate. @xenappblog
