Microsoft Endpoint Manager
Microsoft Endpoint Manager was announced last week at Microsoft Ignite 2019.
Microsoft is working on bringing together System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) and the Microsoft Intune mobile management service into a new brand called “Microsoft Endpoint Manager,”
Microsoft is consolidating most (all) of their client management tools (SCCM, Intune, Desktop Analytics, etc. ) into one now called Microsoft Endpoint Manager.
Based on the information Provided, Microsoft Endpoint Manager includes:
- Config Manager
- Intune
- Co-Management
- Desktop Analytics
- Device Management Admin Console
In fact SCCM is to be re-branded as Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager. Subsequent updates to Configuration Manager will remove the name System Center.
