Let's build our own AI assistant for Intune

Wednesday September 18, 2024 09:20 - 10:20 CEST

Clubraum 2

What if we had a simple, low-cost AI solution that can help Intune admins? Call it "AI for Intune"

Come see how we've built an AI assistant that helps us to find what policies or settings we need to configure on managed endpoints, based on the Intune documentation. We will show you how you can do it yourself for the cost of a coffee or less, and particularly, how to avoid AI from messing with your tenant and devices 😉

Zero Trust - Dope or Nope?

Wednesday September 18, 2024 10:40 - 11:40 CEST

Auditorium

Zero Trust must be the worst name in the history of Security. But is it just a bad name? Does it really offer worthwhile goals or is it an overkill? I hear sales pitches for it, like for many other security solutions, that concentrate on "What we can't allow anymore because of changed security landscape" all the time. Why does security have to be so negative? A well done Zero Trust environment gives you "the ability to work as efficiently and securely, whether you are sitting in Starbucks or the corporate office" - Which I believe most of us want. Come and listen to this talk about rights and wrongs of how to achieve Zero Trust and how keep Security as what it's meant to be - a support function for a happy workforce.

Enhance your Windows and Intune troubleshooting skills with (Petri's) community tools - NinjaEdition

Wednesday September 18, 2024 14:00 - 15:00 CEST

Luzerner Saal

There are several community tools which help IT admins life when troubleshooting Windows and Intune. Petri has made several of these tools but there are many others too.

In this session Petri will showcase some tools and explain in more depth how some of these tools work. Actually with just two PowerShell commands we can help Windows troubleshooting a lot. But when combining PowerShell capabilities to scripts we can create unique and really helpful tools. So we will also look for some PowerShell tips and tricks which will help you.

And there is actually something new, unique and mind blowing out there and you can also be part of the community contributing The Ultimate Windows and Intune Troubleshooting Tool which Petri will also showcase. This could be the last troubleshooting tool we need to use?

AI has had some role developing these tools and it may have a bigger role in the future also. We'll also have a look how AI could help us with troubleshooting.
