Welcome to Recast’s Endpoint Management Recap, July 2022 – by Daniel Engberg
I am writing this in the middle of my summer vacation here in Sweden. However, Microsoft and the community have not taken any break, as the volume of content below demonstrates.
This month we have some excellent news with the release of Windows Autopatch, ConfigMgr Technical Preview 2207, and new Windows 11 resources.
Microsoft held a Tech Community Live on Thursday, July 21. If you missed them, they are now available as recordings below:
At Recast, the team interviewed Prajwal Desai for a new series, Q & A with SysAdmin Superstars. Prajwal is an 8-time Microsoft MVP in Enterprise Mobility and an avid content creator.
I hope you like the newsletter, and make sure to enjoy some time out in the sun!

As mentioned in the introduction, this month Microsoft has released Windows Autopatch, which is an automated, cloud-based update solution. For the on-prem world, we have a new preview of ConfigMgr, named 2207. In this release we now have the possibility to move content between distribution points, both on-prem and in the cloud.
Endpoint Manager will also remove its support for Windows Information Protection (WIP) by the end of 2022.

Every month, we cover updates to the tools, scripts, and software provided by the major hardware vendors related to enterprise client management. For a full list of tools, blog posts and information about the vendors, check out the ConfigMgr Manufacturers’ page.
** Much of this information is provided directly from the vendor, so when you see “we” think of it as, “Vendor Name,” and not Recast Software.

Due to the sheer amount of community content, I have decided only to include one post per contributor, to keep the size of the endpoint management recap down. Great work everyone with providing so much to us for free!
