Configuration Manager SQL move guidance requires collation checks; Outlook support is documented for iOS/iPadOS

The 14 July period contains four documentation updates, with no evidenced new launch, general-availability milestone, preview, or retirement. The most consequential clarification is that Configuration Manager's Modify SQL Server configuration maintenance path skips the collation prerequisite check performed during installation or upgrade. Intune's Multiple Managed Accounts page now lists Microsoft Outlook for iOS/iPadOS, while the remaining changes refine signed-script and external-link guidance.

  Manual collation verification is required before the SQL configuration move path

  The Modify SQL Server configuration maintenance path doesn't run the collation prerequisite check used by a new install or upgrade. The guidance says both the target SQL Server instance and site database must use SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS. It adds a verification procedure using SQL Server Management Studio against the site database (CM_<sitecode>), not master, and says to resolve every ERROR before continuing.

  AllSigned task sequences should reference signed scripts from a package

  The guidance warns that Enter a PowerShell script can alter embedded script content through the task-sequence XML, invalidating its digital signature and causing a client rejection with a “hash does not match” entry in smsts.log. For AllSigned, administrators are directed to place the signed .ps1 file in a Configuration Manager package and use the Package and Script name options.

  Multiple Managed Accounts documentation adds Outlook for iOS/iPadOS

  The support table now lists Microsoft Outlook on iOS/iPadOS at version 5.2626.0 or later, alongside Microsoft Teams on iOS/iPadOS at version 8.10.0 or later. This is a documentation update to the supported-app table, not evidence of a newly launched capability in the period.

  Managed Home Screen permission references move to Zebra’s current support domain

The Notification Access entry for the 11.5.x.x guidance also changes from article 000026099 to 000027795. The diff shows link maintenance rather than a change to Managed Home Screen permissions.
