Month in brief

Configuration Manager 2609 CMG guidance adds shared-key shutdown and Azure RBAC requirements

November 2026 was dominated by documentation maintenance: all 7,168 recorded changes were updates, with no new or removed items. Most sampled edits refreshed author, manager, or taxonomy metadata. The meaningful exceptions added concrete guidance for Configuration Manager CMG storage access and co-management enrollment, clarified Intune reporting limits, and revised Enterprise App Management blocking-app guidance.

  • The CMG security guidance now states that shared-key access to CMG storage is automatically disabled starting in Configuration Manager version 2609, including for existing deployments. It adds required permissions for Microsoft Entra-authenticated storage and distinguishes storage keys from application secrets.

  • The monitoring guidance now specifies that device-token auto-enrollment requires Windows 10 version 1803 or later. If the device-token attempt fails, enrollment falls back to the user token; administrators are directed to check ComanagementHandler.log when troubleshooting pending or failed enrollment.

  • For Firewall Rules and Attack Surface Reduction Rules policies managed through MDM, per-setting reporting is unavailable. The documentation says administrators should rely on policy-level status instead.

  • The page dated November 3, 2026, removes the statement that auto-update Enterprise App Catalog apps cannot be blocking apps in Enrollment Status Page or Autopilot device preparation. Review the current guidance when configuring those blocking apps.

For Intune administrators

Review CMG server application and operator Azure RBAC permissions for Microsoft Entra-authenticated storage, and distinguish storage keys from application secrets. When troubleshooting co-management enrollment, verify Windows 10 version 1803 or later and inspect ComanagementHandler.log. Assess MDM-managed Firewall Rules and ASR Rules policies using policy-level status. Review the current Enterprise App Management guidance before configuring blocking apps for ESP or Autopilot device preparation. The remaining metadata-only updates require no administrator action.

This period briefing was generated by AI from the tracked Microsoft Learn and Message Center changes.
