Recast’s Endpoint Management Recap – Vol. 68

Welcome to Recast’s Endpoint Management Recap, Vol. 68

by Prajwal Desai

Hello, everyone! 

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 August 2025 Recast Endpoint Management Recap to you all. 

In August, there were many announcements across Microsoft products. Intune now supports Windows Backup for Organizations, delivers out-of-the-box Windows quality updates, and ships a batch of improvements in the 2508 service release. 

I’ve been testing Windows Server 2025 features, blogging, answering forum questions, and kicking off a few new projects. I hope you enjoy this edition of the Recast Endpoint Management Recap. Don’t forget to subscribe to this newsletter. 👈
