ConfigMgr Technical Preview 1902.2 is now available

[Yvette O'Meally]

We are pleased to announce that this month’s second technical preview release, Update 1902 for Technical Preview Branch of System Center Configuration Manager is now available.

This preview release includes:

Integration with analytics for Office 365 ProPlus readiness – Use Configuration Manager to identify devices with high confidence that are ready to upgrade to Office 365 ProPlus. By integrating with Office analytics, it provides insights into any potential compatibility issues with Office add-ins and macros used in your environment.

Additional languages for Office 365 updates – Configuration Manager now supports all supported languages for Office 365 client updates.

Improvement to phased deployment success criteria – You can now specify additional criteria for the success of a phase in a phased deployment. Instead of only a percentage, the criteria can now also be the number of devices successfully deployed.

Improvement to enhanced HTTP - You can now enable enhanced HTTP per primary site or for the central administration site.

Update 1902.2 for Technical Preview Branch is available in the Configuration Manager Technical Preview console. For new installations please use the 1902.2 baseline version of Configuration Manager Technical Preview Branch available on TechNet Evaluation Center. Technical Preview Branch releases give you an opportunity to try out new Configuration Manager features in a test environment before they are made generally available.

We would love to hear your thoughts about the latest Technical Preview! Send us Feedback directly from the console. You may also use our feedback channels through the Feedback Hub app for product issues, and our UserVoice page for ideas about new features.

Thanks,

The System Center Configuration Manager team

I haven't used ConfigMgr so not sure if it is able to do such thing, but i've always missed a tool to see updates state of Office 365 clients. Maybe some of them are not getting monthly updates for some reason. Maybe ConfigMgr could have such view to see current versions on all clients.

Hello @wroot, have a look at the list view for Office 365 Updates under the Office 365 Client Management node in the Software Library workspace in the Configuration Manager console.  You can filter and also add additional columns there.  If you need something else, please open an item on our UserVoice site and describe your scenario.

thanks
