Introduction
Hi,
I hope you’re doing well! It’s starting with the build-up for Christmas. I haven’t bought gifts yet, but Black Friday is almost daily, so it should be fine :).
There are many things at work and on the private side for most people, including me, at this time of the year. I look forward to finalizing some projects before the end of the year.
The main highlight of the week is a new technical preview (2411) for Configuration Manager. I’m still getting questions from customers about when the Configuration Manager or SCCM will go out of support. Let’s see about that! It’s still a very competent product with an unequal equivalent for many use cases. As usual, the technical preview shows a sneak peek of what’s coming in the upcoming Configuration Manager production versions.
Check out these resources for more information:

- Technical Preview 2411 is out, upgrade now before your lab times out | just another windows noob ?
Have a great week!
