We’re excited to share the Microsoft Entra feature release information for April – June 2024, along with second-quarter change announcements. This quarter’s updates include general availability releases for Entra ID and important change announcements on Azure AD Graph Retirement, enhancing the security of Apple devices in the enterprise with hardware-bound device identity, security updates to Entra ID affecting clients running old, unpatched builds of Windows, and many more.
