Welcome to Recast’s Endpoint Management Recap, Vol. 56
by Daniel Engberg
Hi everyone!
I’m excited to reconnect with you all after taking some much-needed time off for full-time parental leave since July. Starting this September, I’ll be transitioning to part-time work while continuing to care for my two small kids. However, I will probably work two full-time jobs, as having kids is no time off. 🙂
In this month’s recap, we’ll explore the latest in endpoint management, Microsoft product updates, and some fantastic resources like the Skilling Snacks series, which I’ve really enjoyed following. These quick, focused learning sessions have been a great way to stay updated when given a busy schedule.
Enjoy this month’s REMR, and we’ll catch up again in September!
