Another belting release from the SCCM team – while some releases have different focuses over time – generally releases have tended to have something which makes day-to-day admin life a bit easier for someone…. and sometimes, big things, such as passive site servers, that just structurally make the product substantially better.

Anyway – out of this release comes a couple of items that i think are particularly of note to me (other may be interested in different parts – depending on your setup):

• Site maintenance UI is friendlier
• Use your distribution point as an in-network cache server for Delivery Optimization
• Support for Windows Virtual Desktop
• OneTrace – a preview of a tool which could be dubbed the next-gen of CMTrace…
• Improvements to co-management auto-enrollment
• Retry the install of pre-approved applications
• Task sequence debugger – not there yet – but great that its being thought about – can see this being exceedingly handy as this matures
• The Disable BitLocker task sequence step has a new restart counter
• Additional options for WSUS maintenance – these are brilliant. Hopefully this release will also fix bug id 4808740 – i haven’t been able to test this as yet.
• New Windows 10, version 1903 and later product category – this enables admins everywhere to further reduce the number of updates stored by WSUS – which leads to improvements with server and client performance
• Role-based access for folders – finally!
• Administration service support for security nodes – this is potentially a big change – keen to test this out in a bigger environment
• Collections tab in devices node – gradually chipping away at right click tools functionality
• Multiselect and delete packages – finally!
