What is new in Microsoft Configuration Manager 2211
We are proud to announce the release of Microsoft Configuration Manager 2211. In this version, we are delighted to announce the following new features:
Featured Apps in Software Center
We are now adding the Featured tab in Software Center where we will be displaying the featured apps. Using this, IT admin can mark apps as "featured" and encourage end users to use the app. Currently, this feature is available only for "User Available" apps. Also, admins can make the Featured tab of Software Center as default tab from Client Settings.
Enhancements in Admin Console search experience
When performing a search on any node in the console, the hint text in the search bar will indicate the scope of the search. By default, all subfolders are searched when you perform a search in any node that contains subfolders. You can narrow down the search by selecting the “Current Node” option from the search toolbar or you can expand the search to include all nodes by selecting the “All Objects” button in the ribbon.

Intune role-based access control (RBAC) support for Configuration Manager Admin tasks
The Microsoft Intune admin center unifies tasks performed on devices managed by Microsoft Intune and Configuration Manager. The Intune admin needs to have the appropriate Configuration Manager controls to be successful at making user changes. This feature was introduced in Configuration Manager 2207 release, enabled via Intune 2208 release. This feature is turned off by default. We recommend our customers to try this feature out.
Customer Voice
In Configuration Manager, Collection is a powerful construct to group the resources to apply policies. We introduced Cloud Sync feature in 2019 to synchronize Configuration Manager collections into Azure Active Directory Groups. This feature enables you to apply Intune polices on Collections. We heard about the many reliability issues faced by customers in large collections. In this release, we have revamped the design to provide better visibility and improved reliability.
