Earlier today, Microsoft had the opening keynote under Microsoft Ignite and with it came a bunch new announcements with services and updates to most of the different features as well. This blog post is to summarize all the updates that have been announced so far. Now if we look at the keynotes, there have been little to none updates so far to the System Center suite, there has been some updates to Configuration Manager but that is to bridge client management into Intune.
More in-depth writing on each service will come shortly.
