Endpoint Manager step by step guides

[anyweb]

This list of guides (think of it as a living index) will be updated by me whenever I write a new guide for the new versions of Microsoft Endpoint Manager (Configuration Manager) or Endpoint Manager (Intune). These guides are broken down into different sections:

• Endpoint Manager - Intune
• Endpoint Manager - Current Branch
• Endpoint Manager - Technical Preview
• Setting up PKI

The Current Branch release is meant for your production deployments and the Technical Preview releases are for testing new upcoming features in the product, and are aimed at Lab use only. The PKI guides are added in case you want to experiment with any roles requiring certificates.
