Welcome to Recast’s Endpoint Management Recap, August 2022 – by Daniel Engberg
I hope you’ve all had a great summer and are feeling rejuvenated! It surprised me how much Microsoft and the community have provided during the summer. I can’t wait for the fall!
This month’s major updates and focus have been Windows 365, with tons of updates from Microsoft and the community.
If you have kept away from your computer during the summer, check out the previous newsletters from June and July.
At Recast, the team recently interviewed Sami Laiho for a new series, Q & A with SysAdmin Superstars. Sami is an 11-time Microsoft MVP in Windows OS and a renowned speaker at tech conferences globally.
See you in September!

Workplace Ninja Summit 2022 (wpninjas.ch) – Monday-Wednesday, September 12-14, 2022 in Luzern, Switzerland
This month, Microsoft released a new version of ConfigMgr, version 2207, with much news from previous technical previews.
For Intune, importing custom ADMX templates is now possible, which is fantastic!
There has also been a lot of focus on Windows 365, with the Endpoint Analytics for Windows 365 going GA.
The last item is that a preview version of Microsoft Dev Box is now available.
