On March 14, 2019, Microsoft announced the availability of System Center 2019 for Windows Server 2019<\/a> to support management of Windows Server 2019 and a host of other new management capabilities. Today we are announcing that the first update rollup release (UR1) to the System Center 2019 suite is now available! Customers can download UR1 for System Center 2019<\/a> from Microsoft Update as well as other channels.
