In fact, for a large enterprise it is not practically possible to update all client systems individually which is time consuming and requires extra IT manpower.

Recently Microsoft launched its new product 'Windows InTune' which is designed for IT administrators to manage PCs from remote locations. Windows InTune is a cloud-based desktop management and maintenance software, and allows administrators to login to Microsoft's Windows InTune online portal, https://manage.microsoft.com.

All you need is an Internet connection and a valid Hotmail account to manage PCs from virtually anywhere. Through this web portal, IT administrators can manage the deployment of Microsoft updates and service packs to remote PCs. It also protects PCs from malware threats, allows you to set security policies and keep a live track of hardware and software inventory.
