Next Release of Windows Intune Coming SoonWindows Intune brings together
Windows cloud services and a Windows 7 Enterprise subscription to help
businesses simplify PC management and security, all while getting the benefits
of a modern operating system. At Microsoft’s Worldwide Partner Conference in
July, we announced the beta for the next release of Windows
Intune. Today we are excited to share with you that our next release of Windows
Intune, which includes the new features and updates of the July 2011 beta, will
be available on October 17 of this year!
Here is a quick reminder of some of the features included in the next version
– and these are just a few of them. For a full list of features visit Windows Intune on Springboard.
Software Distribution: With this release, administrators can deploy
most Microsoft and third-party updates or applications to PCs nearly anywhere
over the Internet.
Remote Tasks: IT can remotely perform the following tasks on Windows
Intune managed PCs from the administration console: Full scan, Quick scan,
Update Malware Definition, and Restart.
Read-Only Access: IT pros and partners can give select administrators
read-only access to the administration console so they can view PC information
as needed, but not perform any configuration tasks.
Enhanced Reporting: Create hardware reports based on new hardware
filters for common hardware characteristics. Additionally, you can now create
and save report parameters to make it easy and efficient to run a report again
in the future.
How do you get this next release?
Current Subscribing Windows Intune Customers: Your service will be
automatically upgraded in the few weeks following October 17; no action is
required of you. Two weeks prior to your upgrade date, you’ll see an alert
displayed in the Windows Intune administration console indicating the exact date
and time when your subscription will be upgraded.
New Windows Intune Customers: Sign up on October 17 to receive the
latest version immediately.
Beta Customers: The beta service will conclude on November 17. After
this date, you will not be able to access your beta account and all account data
will be deleted. We highly recommend that you remove the client software and
restore computers to their pre-beta state.Full Story At Source
