Welcome to Recast’s Endpoint Management Recap, Vol. 64
by Daniel Engberg
Hello, everyone!
The first month of spring has arrived, even though we are still waiting for those warm days here in Sweden. Hopefully, they are just around the corner!
This month, the MEM Summit 2025 took place in Paris. I couldn’t make it this time, but it looked like a well-organized event by community members!
Otherwise, it has been a relatively quiet month, although we did see a new release of Configuration Manager (version 2503), which you can read more about below.
Have a great month and see you again in May!
