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.

Terraform Provider for Microsoft 365

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

Clubraum 1

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.
