Microsoft Ignite day 3 and 4 (Session) recap

Day 3 and 4 I did multiple sessions on ConfigMgr, Intune and Windows 10, listening to great speakers like Johan Arwidmark and Mikael Nystrom and some more. Very nice to see new functionality in both servicepack and vNext version coming. There will be more possibilities on both Mobile Device and Windows 10 Management. There are some improvements in the ConfigMgr console also.
 
Let's have a look at some interesting features so far:
-ConfigMgr will be more easily updatable to support windows 10 updates
-Intune will also iteratively stay up-to-date to manage windows 10 features
-Ability to manage Windows 10 PC's with MDM-style management
-New ConfigMgr version is like a servicepack, in-place upgrade possible

-Improved task sequence logging logic (better OSD logging)
-Windows 10 ADK available when Windows 10 is RTM

-New MDT Upgrade task sequence in MDT 2013 Update 1 Preview
-New functionality to restart the task sequence (multiple times)
-New functionality called Deployment verification (cool)
-New ConfigMgr task sequence for Windows 10 upgrade
