Additional changes that are included in this update
Cloud-based distribution points
- Newly created cloud-based distribution points use a “Family 2” (Windows Server 2008 R2) Guest operating system. Existing cloud-based distribution points can be upgraded to Family 2 by using the Microsoft Azure portal.
Additionally, a possible race condition that affects distribution point status is resolved.
