Configuration Manager now supports SQL Extended Protection for Authentication Configuration Manager now supports SQL Extended Protection for Authentication. It's a security feature that enhances protection against MITM attacks, making SQL Server more secure when connections are made using Extended Protection. These enhancements collectively reduce the risk of unauthorized access and protect sensitive data managed by the SQL Server Database Engine. For more information, see Connect to the Database Engine Using Extended Protection BitLocker support in Arm devices Configuration Manager now supports BitLocker Task Sequence steps for Arm devices. In BitLocker Management, policies that include OS Drive encryption with a TPM protector and Fixed Drive encryption with the Auto-Unlock option are supported on Arm devices.

Users can easily refine their search results by selecting the desired workspace from the dropdown menu.

Operating System support added for Windows 11 24H2 and Windows Server 2025 With this version of Configuration Manager, support is added for Windows 11 24H2 and Windows Server 2025.

Boot image creation in SCCM on Windows Server 2025 now supports latest Windows ADK Windows upgrade readiness dashboard now supports Windows 11 24H2 for upgrading clients. Note: Windows Server and Windows 11 24H2 do not support Firewall Rules. This will result in a non-compliant status in the Configuration Manager applet. Enhanced Security for CMG CMG Setup now uses Managed Identities and third-party Server App to interact with CMG's Azure Storage Account, instead of storage account keys. Hence storage account key access is disabled for new CMG setup. For sessions upgrading from earlier versions to 2405 TP, the 'CMG enhanced security' button is shown as enabled. When the enhanced security option is selected, the VMSS OS Auto Upgrade feature is also activated. An extra panel appears, prompting the admin to provide maintenance window details. Azure uses this information to schedule upgrades whenever new OS images become available. CMG Entra Application secret renewal The 'Renew Secret Key' feature now opens a dialog with four options for the validity period. This update also prevents applications older than 800 days (approximately two years) from renewing their secret keys. The same options are available when creating a new app. Note: The admin must sign in using tenant global administrator credentials and then click on the renew button. SQL 2012 and 2014 support are deprecated Starting with this version, Configuration Manager no longer supports SQL Server 2012 and 2014.
