This will make managing applications on networks where users are running Windows 10 significantly easier and is one of the many carrots Microsoft is dangling for IT administrators to get them to upgrade to the new OS.
Microsoft has not said officially said when the service will be available but it is supposed to be shipping with Threshold Wave 2, which may arrive as soon as next week.
