Introduction
Happy Sunday!
As August and perhaps the remnants of summer fade away, I’ve returned to work after a rewarding break with my new baby. With the arrival of a new season, there’s an unmistakable energy as things kick off again.
In this week’s newsletter, we have two highlights. The first is that the Group Policy Analytics tool has transitioned to general availability. Dive into the details here:
The second highlight is that Windows Server 2012/2012 R2 will reach the end of support on October 10, 2023.
Wishing you a great week ahead,
/Daniel
