New Release of the baramundi Management Suite 2026 R2

With the release of baramundi Management Suite 2026 R2, baramundi introduces new capabilities for managing hybrid IT environments. Key enhancements include expanded co-management with Microsoft Intune, a new reporting solution with Power BI support, and interfaces for AI-driven and automated workflows.

Augsburg, November 12, 2026 – baramundi software GmbH will release the baramundi Management Suite 2026 R2 in November. The unified endpoint management solution features a new design and includes numerous enhancements. These include significantly expanded co-management with Microsoft Intune, the flexible[AL1.1] reporting solution with Power BI support, and automatic agent updates via the baramundi Delivery Network (CDN). New interfaces for AI and low-code automation, as well as enhancements to mobile device management, round out the release.

Co-Management – The Best of Both Worlds
Conditional Access for mobile devices, introduced as a preview in the last release, is now in production in the new version. The compliance status of baramundi-managed mobile devices is thus directly incorporated into the access policies of Microsoft Entra ID. A global enrollment token also simplifies the onboarding of large numbers of Windows endpoints, such as in BYOD scenarios. Intune device commands such as restart, reset, or Autopilot Reset can now be triggered directly from the baramundi Management Center. Additionally, Entra ID users can be synchronized as objects, and admins can log in to the Management Center using their Entra ID account.

New Reporting: Historical, Interactive, and Independent
The preview of the new reporting tool from the last release is now generally available: The baramundi Management Suite provides historical reports and up-to-date dashboards on asset management, vulnerability trends, update status, installed software, and operating system distribution at the click of a button. Numerous Power BI templates enable a quick start and can be customized. User-centric reports display all endpoints and assets assigned to an employee, which simplifies processes such as onboarding and offboarding. The solution uses its own data warehouse, which is populated via the baramundi Data Integration Service, and supports multiple management servers. It can be used both on-premises and in the cloud.

Agent Updates via the baramundi Content Delivery Network
In the future, agent setups can also be updated via a Content Delivery Network hosted by baramundi. This makes it particularly easy to update endpoints in “Internet mode” that do not have direct access to the management server. All setups are signed, automatically checked for integrity, and IT administrators explicitly approve each version, ensuring that rollouts remain controlled.

New Interfaces – Including for AI
baramundi Connect 2.0 has gained additional controllers, including ones for Intune actions, API key management, and thresholds. Based on this, two Technical Previews are available, which have been available on GitHub as open source under the MIT license since July 2026:

  • MCP Server: This makes nearly 300 functions of the Management Suite available to AI assistants. Users can query their environment using natural language, without any API knowledge. The existing permissions of the Management Suite remain unchanged.
  • n8n Integration: This brings the Management Suite into low-code workflows as a standalone component, for example, for synchronization with the CMDB or automatic endpoint onboarding.

Additional New Features and Security
The new Google Android Management now supports the frequently requested “Work Profile for Fully Managed Devices” for the first time. New profiles, an additional job step for upgrading Managed Google Play accounts, and a transparent installation status simplify administration. In license management, data from Application Usage Tracking is now directly visible, making it easier to release and reassign unused licenses. The Endpoint Job History is back, redeveloped from the ground up and fully traceable. The baramundi Management Suite also displays the most recently installed and required cumulative update for each Windows endpoint. The new “Determine Variables” job step simplifies working with Linux variables.
