Windows Intune 2.0: Four New Features

17.10.2011

Windows Intune 2.0 extends software license management beyond just Microsoft enterprise software licenses to include Microsoft retail licenses, OEM licenses and other third-party licenses.

IT admins can use this feature to track purchased licenses against actual installations by entering details into the software catalog such as the publisher name, software title or number of licenses purchased. Software licenses can be tracked on the Add Agreements page under Licenses.

Read-Only Access

When adding administrators to a Windows Intune account, admins can select whether or not to grant full administrator rights or read-only access to information.

Someone with read-only rights can view all the information in the Windows Intune Administration Console, but cannot take any action such as approving an update or running a scan.
