The Calm After the Storm. Microsoft Ignite 2022 All Endpoint Management and Identity and Access Announcements

Microsoft Ignite 2022 just finished and it was a blast! So many new product updates and announcements. It was truly exciting to see all the Ignite related news.

Because obviously it was a lot and probably the LinkedIn feeds are flooded with the updates and reposts and what not, I thought to give it a few hours, let the traffic slow down, let the new announcements sync in and then capture all the Endpoint Management and Identity related news and publish the URLs here. This includes the Ignite sessions that are available to watch, Microsoft Tech Community Blog posts and related Learn and Product links.

Also, you can bookmark this! Let’s go!
