It’s Microsoft Ignite 2019 and they’ve have announced Microsoft Endpoint Manager – the next generation of their desktop and endpoint management strategy. It brings together the various disparate elements including:

  • System Center Config Manager (SCCM)
  • Intune
  • Device Management Admin Center
  • Desktop Analytics

It will be interesting to see if other desktop related elements come under here too, in time.

As part of this, Microsoft are making Intune licenses available free of charge to all SCCM licensed customers – to manage Windows devices. If you want to manage non-Windows devices, paid licenses will still be required.
