KB3026739 (CU4) |
A lot of things, please look at KB to see the whole list |
All CU’s are cumulative so all fixes that were in CU1 +CU2 +CU3 is also included |
This update replaces Cumulative Update 3 for System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager (http://support2.microsoft.com/kb/2994331/en-us) |
In Microsoft SystemCenter 2012 R2 Configuration Manager, when a user becomes a cloud-managed user, a settings policy may not target the assignment for the user. |
The original fix for this was included in CU2+CU3 but was broken by the installer process (script was overwritten and function reverted back to original state). The effect of this is that users that are included in an collection will get the “fast download of a polices” but for any users added after applying CU2 or CU3 will not get the policies. |
This update is included in CU4 |

Greatly reduces the time that’s required to execute a successful retire or wipe of a Mobile Device Management (MDM) device. These operations now run on the device in a matter of seconds, assuming the device is reachable by Windows Intune. |
To apply this hotfix, you must have Cumulative Update 3 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2994331/ ) |
This update is included in CU4 |

The main improvement in this update is Speed. If you been working with device enrollment you probably noticed that it can take a wile for the device to receive all the profiles/policies you deployed to it.With the CU2 for SCCM 2012 R2 and the May update for the Intune backend, this has been improved a lot. |

This update replaces Cumulative Update 1 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2938441/ ) for System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager. |

Renewal request for an SCEP certificate fails in Windows Server 2008 R2 if the certificate is managed by using NDES |
This update is only needed if you want to implement certificate deployment with SCEP and your CA is running on Windows Server 2008R2 |
If it is possible, I would recommend to upgrade to a newer server OS |
