This month’s new preview features include:
-
Secure Boot inventory data

-
Reload boot images with latest Windows PE version
– During the "Update Distribution Points" wizard on a boot image, you can now reload the version of Windows PE in the selected boot image.
This release also includes the following improvements for customers using System Center Configuration Manager connected with Microsoft Intune to manage mobile devices:
-
Android
app configuration support
– Administrators can create an app configuration policy for Android applications deployed with Google Play.
