System Center Configuration Manager Current Branch Opdatering 1710.
One of the key features in the 1710 release is co-management:
Starting with the Anniversary Update (June 2016), a Windows 10 device can be joined to on-premises Active Directory (AD) and cloud-based Azure AD at the same time. Co-management takes advantage of this improvement and enables the device to be managed by both the ConfigMgr agent and Intune MDM. This allows organizations to move specific workloads of their management to the cloud – making the transition in manageable chunks. For example, customers can transition device compliance checks, resource access policies, or Windows 10 update management from ConfigMgr to Intune while continuing to use ConfigMgr for other workloads such as software distribution and deep device security configuration.
Some of the enhancements that are available in this update:
Microsoft 365 Adoption
- OS Deployment support for Windows 10 version 1709 – You can now upgrade to the latest Windows 10 ADK version 1709 to deploy the latest Windows 10 build.
- Configure and deploy Windows Defender Application Guard policies – You can now create and deploy Windows Defender Application Guard policies to Windows 10 clients that help protect your users by opening untrusted websites in a virtualized browser.
- Improvements to policies for Windows Defender Application Control – You can now authorize software that is trusted by the Intelligent Security Graph as part of Windows Defender Application Control (previously Device Guard).
- Windows Defender Exploit Guard – You can now configure the Windows Defender Exploit Guard policy that provides intrusion prevention rules and policies that make vulnerabilities more difficult to exploit in Windows 10.
Streamlined Infrastructure
- Support for next-generation certificates – Most client-facing site roles can now use next-generation certificates (or CNG from version 3 templates).
Modern Management
- Co-management – You can now enable co-management which helps you to streamline the journey to modern management in a controlled and iterative way. Windows 10 devices can be concurrently managed by Configuration Manager and Intune as well as joined to Active Directory (AD) and Azure Active Directory (Azure AD). This enables a practical way for you to transition the management to Intune and Azure AD over time.
- Check compliance for co-managed devices from Software Center when device compliance is managed by Intune – Users can now use Software Center to check the compliance of their co-managed Windows 10 devices when device compliance is enforced by Intune.
Configuration Manager connected with Microsoft Intune
- Device Health Attestation assessment for compliance policies for conditional access – Use Device Health Attestation status as a compliance policy rule for conditional access to company resources.
