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.

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

While you might hear that deploying Windows using images is obsolete ("just use Autopilot), there are a number of scenarios where that's not the case. In this session, we'll explore those scenarios, as well as the tools that are available to perform the process (and some that are going away, e.g. MDT).

ConfigMgr ADRs: Your Guide to Fully Automated Patching

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

Clubraum 2

Looking to ease your way into entrusting our new AI overlords with running your life? Start by letting the machines deploy your patches. In this session we'll dive deep into automating your patching, common pitfalls, and common arguments against automation. We'll focus on how to achieve this via ConfigMgr ADRs while comparing other patching technologies such as Intune's Autopatch and Azure Update Automation.

If nothing else, we'll help you get a few years of letting the machines patch your devices before they decide they don't need us anymore.
