What is the Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack (MDOP)?

Microsoft says: The Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack (MDOP) is a portfolio of technologies available as a subscription for Software Assurance customers (Windows Enterprise E3/E5 customers and Microsoft 365 Enterprise E3/E5 customers). MDOP helps improve compatibility and management, reduce support costs, improve asset management, and improve policy control.

There are several 'MDOP Documentation Links' on the linked website. This website contains more information about MDOP. MDOP includes the following products:

Each of these products was created separately and later distributed as part of the Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack (MDOP). As a result, each tool had its own development lifecycle and thus its own support lifecycle. 

MDOP comes to an end
