Day in brief

TeamViewer’s old connector is being deprecated as Intune documents custom notifications

The supplied evidence is dominated by documentation path maintenance: many remote-action links move from legacy `remote-actions` URLs to `device-management/actions`. The substantive guidance covers the TeamViewer connector transition, a newly documented custom-notification action, and specific macOS DMG and Defender for Endpoint Android procedures. The diffs do not establish a same-day feature launch or tenant-setting change.

Intune · Fundamentals
The legacy TeamViewer connector is now explicitly marked for deprecation
The previous TeamViewer connector article now says the new remote-assistance experience replaces it, identifies the old connector as being deprecated, and recommends the new integration for the latest experience and ongoing support. This is deprecation guidance, not a supplied retirement date.
Intune · Android
A new page documents Intune’s send-custom-notification remote action
The action can send push notifications to individual devices or users in groups through Company Portal or the Intune app. The documented scope is Android Enterprise personally-owned work profile (BYOD) and iOS/iPadOS. Requirements include the relevant app and user-granted push permissions; Android battery optimization can block delivery. RBAC includes Help Desk Operator or a custom role with Remote tasks/Send custom notifications, plus Organization/Update for group notifications.
Intune · App management
macOS DMG guidance clarifies that automatic updates require Required intent
The macOS apps (DMG) article now states that only apps deployed with **Required** intent automatically update. The existing update procedure still requires the same bundle identifier and Microsoft Intune agent for macOS version 2304.039 or later. The diff documents the condition but does not announce a service-behavior change.
Intune · App management
Defender for Endpoint Android setup adopts the Managed Google Play app name
The procedure now tells administrators to select **Microsoft Defender: Antivirus** in Managed Google Play, then uses the revised Intune path of **Apps > Android > Create > Managed Google Play app**, followed by **Select** and **Sync**. This is a naming and procedure clarification, not evidence of a new Defender capability.
Intune · Device security
Remote-action links move from legacy paths to device-management actions
The Endpoint Security Manage Devices article now points platform actions, Sync, Restart, and bulk device actions to `device-management/actions` locations instead of `remote-actions` locations. Similar supplied edits show a broader documentation navigation migration; these changes do not alter the documented action semantics.
