SPS Desktop Engineering

This past month, the SPS Desktop Engineering team started deploying a Cloud Management Gateway (CMG) to over 800 laptops. This will allow SPS managed laptops to receive policy updates and patching without having to manually connect to the VPN, something that can be cumbersome for emloyees to remember to do everyday. While the CMG is not meant to be a full replacement for the VPN, it helps create a more “remote-friendly”, secure environment. Not having to trackdown machines to connect to the VPN also frees up time for our Desktop Engineering team to focus on the next big project: migrating to Microsoft Intune!
