Microsoft's Approach to Modern Device Management

We learned a couple of weeks ago that the upcoming Creators Update, the third major Feature Update for Windows 10 which is expected in Spring 2017, is not just a consumer focused offering but will continue Microsoft's investments in security and systems management.

in fact, these improvements continue Microsoft's investment in making Windows 10 the most secure version of Windows in the companies history. Each release of Windows 10, starting with the initial release in July 2015 to the Anniversary Update released in August 2016, have each continued to build in more IT Pro and System Admin related features.

System management is a very important element for organizations and enterprises because it allows companies to implement security and data policies to protect their important business and customer data. These days that is critically important as we hear each day about another data breach or loss of important company data.

Windows 10 has introduced an entirely new framework for systems management and recently the Microsoft Mechanics team published a video overview of those tools. In this video, embedded below, you will see demos a BYOD scenario where an employee brings in their new retail device which then has appropriate policies put in place.

But, wait...there's probably more so be sure to follow me on Twitter and Google+.

Senior Content Producer, IT Pro Today (Informa Tech)

I served for 29 plus years in the U.S. Navy and retired as a Master Chief Petty Officer in November 2011. My work background in the Navy was telecommunications related so my hobby of computers fit well with what I did for the Navy. I consider myself a tech geek and enjoy most things in that arena.

My first website – AnotherWin95.com – came online in 1995. Back then I used GeoCities Web Hosting for it and WindowsObserver.com is the result of the work I have done on that site since 1995.

In January 2010 my community contributions were recognized by Microsoft when I received my first Most Valuable Professional (MVP) Award for the Windows Operating System. Since then I have been renewed as a Microsoft MVP each subsequent year since that initial award. I am also a member of the inaugural group of Windows Insider MVPs which began in 2016.

I previously hosted the Observed Tech PODCAST for 10 years and 317 episodes and now host a new podcast called Faith, Tech, and Space. 

I began contributing to Penton Technology websites in January 2015 and in April 2017 I was hired as the Senior Content Producer for Penton Technology which is now Informa Tech. In that role, I contribute to ITPro Today and cover operating systems, enterprise technology, and productivity.
