Following the announcements made at the Microsoft Ignite conference last week, I am happy to let you know that System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager SP1 and System Center 2012 Configuration Manager SP2 are now generally available and can be downloaded on the Microsoft Evaluation Center. These service packs deliver full compatibility with existing features for Windows 10 deployment, upgrade, and management.
Also included in these service packs are new hybrid features for customers using System Center Configuration Manager integrated with Microsoft Intune to manage devices. Some of the hybrid features that you can expect to see are conditional access policy, mobile application management, and support for Apple Device Enrollment Program (DEP). You can view the full list of hybrid features included in these service packs here.
As a side note : To be absolutely sure that there will be no bear on the road during deployment for SP2 , please install CU5 http://blogs.technet.com/b/configmgrteam/archive/2015/05/06/now-available-cumulative-update-5-for-system-center-2012-r2-configuration-manager.aspx first before upgrading to SP2 as there is one issue fixed in CU5 that could affect R2 SP1 installation:
– if you have over 10,000 deployments for legacy software distribution packages the R2 SP1 upgrade could stall. Installing CU5 beforehand will prevent this. This does not make CU5 an official pre-req though, as the given scenario should be rare but it doesn’t hurt to install CU5 first on the site servers , before upgrading to CM12 R2 SP1 or CM12 SP2 , without upgrading you’re clients.
Hope it Helps ,
