New Cloud Based Policy Management Service

Really good stuff. We have needed the group targeting for some time now.

I also noticed they addeed a bunch of new groups to the Azure AD portal for administration.

Mobile Edge Browser

I have no idea why MS keeps pushing the Edge browser, never mind pushing it on mobile device.  I admit, it is pretty fast and functional on PC.  I can't understand the logic behind why you think making it work on a Mobile Device would be something anyone would be remotely interested in.

From Microsoft

New Microsoft Edge browser settings for Windows 10 and later
This update includes new settings to help control and manage the Microsoft Edge browser on your devices. For a list of these settings, see Device restriction for Windows 10 (and newer).

New apps support with app protection policies

You can now manage the following apps with Intune app protection policies:
  • Stream (iOS)
  • To DO (Android, iOS)
  • PowerApps (Android, iOS)
  • Flow (Android, iOS)
Use app protection policies to protect corporate data and control data transfer for these apps, like other Intune policy managed apps. Note: If Flow is not yet visible in the console, you add Flow when you create or edit and app protection policies. To do so, use the + More apps option, and then specify the App ID for Flow in the input field. For Android use com.microsoft.flow, and for iOS use com.microsoft.procsimo.

So I guess Intune requires macOS 10.12

From Microsoft

Intune requires macOS 10.12 or later
Intune now requires macOS version 10.12 or later. Devices using prior macOS versions can't use the Company Portal to enroll into Intune. To receive support assistance and new features, users must upgrade their device to macOS 10.12 or later and upgrade the Company Portal to the latest version.
Well I was messing around with my Intune lab this morning, I guess you need to have macOS 10.12 now.  I assume this has something to do with JAMF.

Good on you for staying up to date MS.
