I had the privilege of speaking in an event which focused for enthusiastic individuals about Microsoft EMS+S, Azure and System Center stack event held on 29th September 2017 in Myanmar (backed by Microsoft Myanmar). I spoke about the EMS+S and Microsoft System Center stack in two separate sessions. The Azure IaaS topic has covered by Microsoft Myanmar. There were about 20 attendees on that day.
Hello,
If you are managing your iOS devices through Microsoft Intune, the Apple push Certification renewal is something which you need to keep in mind. In the new intune portal, there is no way where we can set warning or alert generation same as the intune old portal. The only way is we have to keep an eye on the new portal for the warnings. However, in terms of keep the certificate valid is something very critical and this blog going to show you how to do it. On the very first screen, you can see that “Push Certificate Expiring on 35 days”. Therefore, we must renew this certificate for continuous work using Apple devices.
