Azure Active Directory Enhancements
The Endpoint Manager now includes several improvements to the Azure Active Directory (AAD). This includes the ability to deploy the AAD Connect app to endpoints, improved support for multi-factor authentication, and improved support for identity protection. These enhancements make it easier for organizations to manage their identities across cloud and on-premises environments.
PowerShell Scripts for Automating Endpoint Management
Microsoft has released several PowerShell scripts that can help automate the process of managing endpoints. These scripts can be used to manage device health, deploy applications, manage mobile devices, and configure Azure Active Directory. These scripts can be used to quickly and easily manage endpoints, which can help reduce the amount of time and effort required to manage endpoints.
