Ø Windows 10 in-place upgrade Ø Mobile Application Management Ø Data protection for mobile devices Ø Preferred management points Ø On-premises mobile device management (MDM) Ø Support for Microsoft Azure virtual machines Ø Client deployment status in console monitoring

Windows 10 in-place upgrade This is a new operating system deployment scenario for upgrading

Windows 10 in-place upgrade This is a new operating system deployment scenario for upgrading computers that run Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8. 1 to run Windows 10. Ø Upgrades the operating system Ø Retains the applications, settings, and user data on the computer Ø Has no external dependencies Ø Is faster and more resilient than traditional operating system deployments Ø Supplements existing deployment scenarios, which remain supported

 Mobile Application Management Mobile application management policies let you modify the functionality of

Mobile Application Management Mobile application management policies let you modify the functionality of apps that you deploy to help bring them into line with your company compliance and security policies. For example, you can restrict cut, copy, and paste operations within a restricted app, or configure an app to always use a managed web browser when opening web links. Unlike configuration items and baselines, you do not deploy a mobile application management policy directly. Instead, you associate the policy with the app deployment type (DT) that you want to restrict. When the app DT is deployed and installed on devices, the settings you specify will take effect. App management policies support: Ø Devices that run Android 4 and later Ø Devices that run i. OS 7 and later

 Data protection for mobile devices This preview supports the following features from Microsoft

Data protection for mobile devices This preview supports the following features from Microsoft Intune that you can use to enhance data protection for mobile devices you manage when you use Intune with Configuration Manager Ø Passcode reset: If a user forgets their passcode, you can help them by removing the passcode from a device or by forcing a new temporary passcode on a device Ø Remote lock: If a user loses their device you can lock the device remotely

 Preferred management points: Preferred management points is a new option that enables clients

Preferred management points: Preferred management points is a new option that enables clients to identify and prefer to communicate with management points that are associated with the clients current network location (or boundary). When configured, clients attempt to use a preferred management point from their assigned site before using management points from their assigned site that are not configured as preferred. To use this option you must enable it for the hierarchy, and configure boundary groups at individual primary sites to include the management points that should be associated with that boundary group’s associated boundaries. When preferred management points are configured and a client organizes its list of management points, the client places the preferred management points at the top of its list of Assigned management points (which includes all management points from the client’s assigned site). This enables the client to try to use a preferred management point before using management points from its assigned site that are not configured as preferred

 On-Premises mobile device management (MDM) With on-premises mobile device management: Ø You can

On-Premises mobile device management (MDM) With on-premises mobile device management: Ø You can manage devices that do not connect to the Internet or that are limited to accessing a few Internet resources. Ø This helps your Enterprise meet security and compliance requirements while managing devices that are on-premises. For example: you can use on-premises MDM to manage devices that perform the following common line-of-business activities. These activities are often regulated by law or enterprise policy that typically include restrictions that prevent the devices from accessing public networks and the Internet: § Perform retail transactions § Conduct investment banking or trading actions § Price lookup § Credit card transactions On-premises MDM in the Technical Preview: § Supports up to 10 Windows 10 phone devices § Does not require you to use a Microsoft Intune subscription

 Support for Microsoft Azure virtual machines The System Center Configuration Manager Technical Preview

Support for Microsoft Azure virtual machines The System Center Configuration Manager Technical Preview is supported to run in virtual machines in Microsoft Azure just as it does when run on-premises within your physical corporate network. You can use the Configuration Manager Technical Preview with Microsoft Azure virtual machines in the following scenarios: Scenario 1: You can run Configuration Manager in a Microsoft Azure virtual machine and use it to manage clients installed in other Microsoft Azure virtual machines. Scenario 2: You can run Configuration Manager in a Microsoft Azure virtual machine and use it to manage clients that are not running in Microsoft Azure. Scenario 3: You can run different Configuration Manager site system roles in Microsoft Azure virtual machines while running other roles in your physical corporate network (with appropriate network connectivity for communications). Note: The same System Center 2012 Configuration Manager requirements for networks, supported configurations and hardware requirements that apply to installing the Technical Preview on-premises in your physical corporate network also apply to the installation of the Technical Preview in Microsoft Azure. Additionally, Configuration Manager sites and clients that run in Azure virtual machines are subject to the same license requirements as on-premises installations
