To access the Lenovo Device Orchestration, in the Intune admin center, go to Devices > Partner Portals and select Lenovo Device Orchestration.

5. Windows feature update reports support Windows 11, version 25H2​

The Windows Feature Update Compatibility Risks Report and the Windows Feature Update Device Readiness Report now support Windows 11, version 25H2, as a selectable target OS. By selecting this version under "Target OS," the reports offer enhanced insights to evaluate device readiness and pinpoint potential compatibility risks before deploying the feature update.

6. Admin tasks in Microsoft Intune are now generally available​

Administrative tasks in the Intune admin center have moved out of preview and are now generally available. This feature offers a centralized hub where administrators can easily discover, organize, and manage common tasks that were previously dispersed across the Intune admin center. Found under Tenant Administration, this streamlined interface includes search, filtering, and sorting capabilities, enabling admins to efficiently prioritize and address tasks without the need to navigate through multiple sections.

7. Intune ending support for legacy Apple MDM software update policies​

With the release of iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and macOS 26, Apple has deprecated legacy mobile device management (MDM) software update commands and payloads. As a result, Microsoft Intune will soon end support for creating legacy iOS/iPadOS and macOS software update policies. To continue managing Apple software updates in Intune, configure update policies using Apple's declarative device management (DDM) model. DDM provides a more modern and reliable approach to managing software updates, with improved device autonomy and reporting.

8. Autopatch update readiness​

Autopatch Update Readiness offers a seamless, centralized platform for monitoring and addressing Windows update issues across devices enrolled in Intune and Windows Autopatch groups. Through a single, comprehensive dashboard, administrators can access insights on all managed devices, including enrollment status and policy assignments, enabling a clearer understanding of update preparedness across their organization. Key capabilities include: Device update journey, Centralized alerting, Update readiness checker, and Repair devices with OS reinstall.

9. New setting controls MDM enrollment during account registration on Windows​

A new setting that affects the Microsoft Entra account registration experience on Windows is available in the Microsoft Intune admin center. The setting, Disable MDM enrollment when adding work or school account on Windows, controls whether devices enroll in MDM during the account registration flow. The default setting is set to No, which allows MDM enrollment. See how to Block Personal Devices from Enrolling to Microsoft Intune.
