Intune Newsletter – 31st July 2026

How time flies, can you believe it’s the end of July already!  I had a lovely few days at the beginning of the week at Loch Lomond to fully recharge the batteries.

A slightly quieter week this week for content, hopefully everyone is enjoying the weather and the holidays (or busy trying to entertain bored children).  We do have an exciting Microsoft announcement at the bottom though.
