Day in brief

Data Warehouse migration planning and policy-management guidance become actionable

This was a high-volume documentation day with new settings-catalog migration guidance, a co-management workload update, and two Message Center notices. The notices add both a Security Copilot entitlement timeline and a material Intune Data Warehouse infrastructure change.

Intune · Endpoint analytics
Intune Data Warehouse infrastructure update requires preparation
Microsoft expects the mid-June 2026 update to retain roughly 30 days of historical data, refresh surrogate keys, change licensing definitions, and retire the beta Power BI connector in favor of the OData feed in the Intune admin center.
Intune · Windows
Settings catalog policy migration walkthrough is added
New guidance describes creating a settings catalog policy as part of Group Policy migration work, giving administrators a current reference for that transition.
Security Copilot · Developer
Security Copilot inclusion notice has an April-to-June rollout window
The Message Center notice states that Microsoft 365 E5 customers will receive Security Copilot through a phased rollout from 20 April to 30 June 2026, with included Security Compute Units and core features; advanced capabilities can carry additional costs.

This period briefing was generated by AI from the tracked Microsoft Learn and Message Center changes.
