Microsoft Endpoint Manager Branding Change

As of October 12, 2022, the name Microsoft Endpoint Manager will no longer be used. Going forward, we’ll refer to cloud-based unified endpoint management as Microsoft Intune and on-premises management as Microsoft Configuration Manager.

With the launch of advanced management, Microsoft Intune will also become the name of our growing product family for endpoint management solutions at Microsoft.
