Day in brief

Configuration Manager 2609 disables CMG shared-key access automatically

The period was dominated by documentation ownership metadata changes across Intune, Configuration Manager, and related endpoint products. The substantive exception is updated CMG security guidance, which states that shared-key access is automatically disabled for CMG storage from Configuration Manager version 2609, including existing deployments, and clarifies permissions for Microsoft Entra-authenticated storage.

  • The Configuration Manager CMG security and privacy page now states that shared-key access is automatically disabled for CMG storage beginning with version 2609, including existing deployments. It also adds required permissions for Microsoft Entra-authenticated storage and clarifies that storage keys and application secrets are separate credentials.
