Welcome to Recast’s Endpoint Management Recap, Vol. 69

by Prajwal Desai

Introduction 👋 

Hello, everyone! I am Prajwal Desai, a Microsoft Intune & Windows 365 MVP dedicated to sharing my expertise through blogs, forums, and video tutorials. It’s an honor to present the September 2025 edition of Recast’s Endpoint Management Recap. I hope you enjoy this edition of the Recast Endpoint Management Recap. Don’t forget to subscribe to this newsletter. 

Prajwal’s Take on Microsoft News 📰 

In September, there were many announcements across Microsoft products, especially Intune and Windows 365. Here are some of my observations. 

• Microsoft is extending Copilot in Intune to manage Windows 365 Cloud PCs. This will simplify Cloud PC management and enable IT administrators to leverage AI-driven insights and automation for more effective administration. 
• The Windows 11 25H2 update has been released, and it’s the major update for 2025. The update will be delivered as an enablement package (eKB). For organizations planning to deploy 25H2 with Configuration Manager or Intune, conduct thorough testing before rollout. 
• For organizations using Intune to manage Mac devices and updates, Microsoft now provides day-zero support for new OS settings as Apple releases them. The settings catalog includes new iOS/iPadOS and macOS settings for declarative device management (DDM) and mobile device management (MDM), helping your IT team have devices ready on day zero.
