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.
