Application management with Microsoft Intune

Tuesday September 17, 2024 08:00 - 09:00 CEST

Acquiring apps, packaging (or repackaging) them, figuring out command lines, deploying, and updating them has always been a fairly time-consuming task in the Windows ecosystem. This session explores how Intune app management and patching capabilities can help your organization in keeping apps updated and secure using automated packaging, guided remediation, and providing alerts for app updates. This makes app management better, faster, and easier.

Let’s replace your VPN with a real Zero Trust Network Access !

Tuesday September 17, 2024 08:00 - 09:00 CEST

Clubraum 1

We've spent the last few years modernizing clients, kicking them out of Active Directory and optimizing them to run outside the corporate network. The use of modern protocols, conditional access and the integration of MDE and Intune now enables us to access cloud services with access management that largely complies with the principles of zero trust.

However, when it comes to accessing legacy apps in the old data center world, we unfortunately all too often fall back on the old solutions - perhaps enhanced with some SAML and certificates - and features such as microsegmentation and session revocation are sought in vain.

In this session I would like to discuss and show why Microsoft's SSE solution is so much closer to my understanding of Zero Trust Network Access by explicitly checking every session in the network during its establishment, limiting access to the least necessary and disconnecting in case of a breach.

As a security architect who used to deal intensively with networks and in recent years with identity, I am very much looking forward to a deep dive on the topic of Single SignOn when accessing the OnPrem environment with Private Access.

In addition to the way the technology works, you will learn what needs to be considered during POC and rollout and what differences there are to a classic VPN project.

Deuxième

Round Trip Time (RTT) measures the connection performance between a client and Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD). A high RTT is directly correlated with a bad user experience. This session digs into networking between the client and AVD. We start with an overview of the default behavior of an RDP session. Then we explore how RDP Shortpath for AVD can help. Next, we examine the options for RDP Shortpath for a private and public network. Finally, we review the configuration settings for RDP Shortpath for a private network.

It's always DNS, … even when it's not DNS

Tuesday September 17, 2024 09:20 - 10:20 CEST

Deuxième

We're all familiar with DNS, the Domain Name System, which seamlessly connects domain names to their corresponding IP addresses, making it a vital component of the Internet. Next to that, it also plays a significant role in functions like email delivery, ensuring security, and optimizing network efficiency. However, in the complex landscape of hybrid or cloud-only environments, any DNS error can lead to downtime or inaccessible resources.

That’s why in this session, Micha and Wim will look into various DNS-related services and configurations essential for the smooth operation of your Azure environment, including your Virtual Desktop environment ➡️ Azure Virtual Desktop, Windows 365 and/or Azure DevBox.

Join them as they dive into not just Azure DNS, Azure IaaS DNS servers, and Azure Private DNS but also how to effectively troubleshoot any Azure DNS-related issues. Let's also switch things up and have DNS play a role in resolving an issue. Next to that, learn how to seamlessly integrate DNS with services such as Azure Private Endpoints and other PaaS offerings, as well as how to make DNS function flawlessly in your hybrid environment.

Terraform Provider for Microsoft 365

Tuesday September 17, 2024 10:40 - 11:40 CEST

Terraform is widely recognized as the dominant language for professional cloud configuration. It has become an essential tool for Azure, AWS, and Kubernetes projects, offering numerous advantages such as a readable declaration language, reliable state tracking for changes, robust auditing of all modifications through git, and automatic documentation of infrastructure.

Until now, Terraform has primarily focused on configuring cloud infrastructures and provided limited support for Entra ID. However, we are introducing a groundbreaking development: the Terraform Provider for Microsoft 365. This session provides an overview of this provider, which in it's first incarnation enables the configuration of almost all aspects of Intune. With support for Autopilot, Conditional Access, Configuration Profiles with Settings Catalog, Compliance Policies, and more, it opens up entirely new possibilities for Enterprise or MSP Tenant Management through Terraform.

Intune Automation Magic

Tuesday September 17, 2024 14:00 - 15:00 CEST

Luzerner Saal

In this session we will look at how to leverage Azure automation, Graph API, and good old PowerShell to give Intune an extra bit of oomph, and a sprinkle of wow.

Intune as a platform has matured massively over the past 5 years, but for those of us who are coming from a Configuration Manager background, the want, and desire to do more within the product can be frustrating. The beauty of Intune though is the ability to interact with it, through the Graph API, and in fact you do this on a daily basis without even realising it.

In this session, we will dig into how to leverage Graph, and automation functions within Azure, to well beyond the native capabilities, using scripts to automate many different scenarios, with the only limit typically being your imagination. In this session we will look at real world examples of how these automation additions are used.

Kerberos is alive and kicking in the cloud

Tuesday September 17, 2024 15:20 - 16:20 CEST

Microsoft first introduced Kerberos as an authentication protocol in Windows 2000 Active Directory. Since then, many extensions to the protocol have been introduced to allow for constrained delegation, protocol translation and more. You may be surprised that Kerberos is still actively used in Microsoft Entra and solves several challenges, including SSO for hybrid users, hybrid user sign-ins using FIDO keys, Kerberos sign-in to Windows auth websites, and user authentication to cloud-hosted SMB file share.

Come to this session, and John Craddock will show you how Kerberos works and how Microsoft has implemented Kerberos in the cloud. This is packed with demos and insights that will allow you to troubleshoot your environments. Don't miss this session!
