Folder support for Scripts node in Software Library

 

You can now organize scripts by using folders. This change allows for better categorization and management of scripts. Full Administrator and Operations Administrator roles can manage the folders.

 

 

New parameter SoftwareUpdateO365Language is added to Save-CMSoftwareUpdate cmdlet

 

A new parameter SoftwareUpdateO365Language is now added to Powershell Save-CMSoftwareUpdate cmdlet. Customers now don't, have to check a specific language in the SUP Properties (causing a metadata download for that language for all updates).

PowerShell Commandlet: Save-CMSoftwareUpdate – SoftwareUpdateO365Language <language name> (<region name>)"

 

 Note: Languages need to be in O365 format to be consistent with Admin Console UI e.g. "Hungarian (Hungary)"

 

Support for Arm64 Operating System Deployment

 

Configuration Manager operating system deployment support is now added on Windows 11 Arm64 devices. Currently Importing and customizing Arm64 boot images, Wipe and load Task Sequence, Media creation Task sequence and WDS PXE for Arm64 is supported.

 

Resource access profiles and deployments will block Configuration manager upgrade

 

Any configured Resource access profiles and associated deployments will block the Configuration manager upgrade. Please consider deleting them and moving the co-management workload for Resource Access (if co-managed) to Intune.

 

WildCard Support added in Defender Exploit Guard policy for Controlled Folders

 

Defender Exploit Guards policy for Controlled Folder now accepts Regex in the file path for apps.

E.g. [C:\Folder\Subfolder\app?.exe] [C:\Folder1\Sub*Name]

 

Other Updates

 

Troubleshooting Dashboard for Software Update Issues (Teaser)


A new dashboard is added to the console under monitoring workspace which will diagnose software update issue in your environment. You can fix these issues based on troubleshooting documentations. Future release will have more common errors, automated troubleshooting and remediation added.

 

Update 2311 for Technical Preview Branch is available in the Microsoft Configuration Manager Technical Preview console. For new installations, the 2311 baseline version of Microsoft Configuration Manager Technical Preview Branch is available on the link:  CM2311TP-Baseline or from Eval 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.

 

Thanks,

The Configuration Manager team

    Any chance Folders are coming to Intune as well? It really helps to keep things organized, especially in large organizations.

    will 2311 be released as a supported version or will it jump from 2309 to 2403 as the next fully supported version?

  • For Intune folders you have pass on feedback to Intune team.

    This is 2311 TP and we already have 2401 TP. For prod you will have 2403 release in April 2024.
