PowerShell and MEM Automation - Get Your Head Out Of The Console
Description:
There are no doubt tasks that you do on a repeated basis that just eat away hours of your day. You get a list of users from some other team and they ask you to create a collection to deploy content. You update your base image with the latest updates. You're standing up a new distribution point and retiring another. You're regularly creating applications in the exact same way with just the metadata being a little bit different. While not everything is ripe for automation if it's worth doing more than once, it might be worth looking at ways to outsource your work to scripts. Of course, with any venture like this, there are good ways and bad ways to slice it. Join us as we talk about different things that we have automated and the lessons we've learned along the way.

What you will learn:
  • Repeatable tasks that almost everyone does
  • Things to avoid when automating
  • Modules to help you along the way
  • Sharing is caring - contributing to already existing automation scripts

While Cloud PCs can be treated similarly to physical devices, these Azure-hosted Cloud PCs do have unique differences from their physical counterparts. Fortunately, Endpoint Manager has additional capabilities tailored to ensure end-users have a good experience, the Cloud PCs are secure, and the type of Cloud PC deployed is the right size. This session will demonstrate how to leverage Security Baselines to make securing the device straightforward. Endpoint Analytics' Cloud PC specific functionality will be demonstrated to show where end-user experience problems are occurring, as well as ensuring the SKU of the Cloud PC is just what the users need. The target audience should have some familiarity with Windows 365 Cloud PCs, but hands-on experience is not required.

Do You Want to Build a Home Lab?
Description:
Do you want to build a home lab? ... C'mon, let's go and play! ... I'll never test in prod again ... because that's a sin ... it's like prod has gone awaaaaay! ... ...

How many of us test our changes in production? How many of us have an actual lab or development environment to test changes and new features? Do you learn by watching computer-based training or just reading Microsoft Docs? Having worked in many small and medium-sized environments, we know that a good lab or development environment just isn't available for many organizations. And for many, the thought of building their own environment is super daunting. This doesn't have to be the case - home labs are a very affordable way to test new ideas, get your feet wet in new technologies, or even shore up some skills in a product you already work with. Join us as we talk about:
  • What equipment do you need to get started (or what you might already have)
  • The important pieces to understand (Hypervisors, Virtual Networking, etc.)
  • Overcoming knowledge obstacles (a.k.a. fears)
  • Automating the creation of your labs (build, destroy, rebuild)
  • The fastest MEMCM Lab build this side of Azure
  •  Building an Intune Autopilot lab

What you will learn:
  • What you need to get started with your own home lab
  • How to build a MEMCM Lab in less than 60 minutes
  • Building an Intune Autopilot Lab
  • Automating the creation of your home lab for maximum destruction opportunities

TPM Management - Getting Ready for Windows 11
Description:
TPM Management is about as much fun as going to the dentist. With Windows 11, TPM is one of the hardware requirements, which means unless you already managing TPMs for things like BitLocker, then you are going to need to start. In addition, TPMs also need to be flashed or updated from time to time for security vulnerabilities. Flashing the TPM often requires clearing the TPM and certain vendors make this more difficult than it needs to be. In this session, we will cover what it takes to get your TPM estate in order for Windows 11 (or anything that requires a TPM).

What you will learn:
  • Why you should be keeping up with TPM updates
  • How to automatically configure, provision, and update the TPM
  • Report on TPM versions
  • Update capable 1.2 versions to 2.0

Maintaining BIOS in Intune (Option 1)
Description:
Traditional ConfigMgr admins have grown up with tight control measures to allow them to deploy driver and BIOS packages. The move to modern management with MS Intune has made these tasks more challenging. With MS Intune you can use Windows Update for Business or utilize OEM software to keep your estate up to date. The main issue with this is that you lose control and the opportunity to perform thorough testing before you release it to your clients. In this session, you will learn about all the options using native options in Intune to maintain your drivers and BIOS. You will also learn about how to use OEM and community tools together to apply complete control over when a BIOS or Driver update is being deployed to your end-user devices and how to report on your current status.

What you will learn:
  • Understand the built-in functionality for BIOS and driver management.
  • Understand the risks associated with not maintaining BIOS and drivers.
  • Get real-world examples of maintaining BIOS and drivers via Intune
  • Support multiple OEMs without having to deal with multiple portals or tools.

Maintaining BIOS in Intune (Option 2)
Description:
Traditional ConfigMgr admins have grown up with tight control measures to allow them to deploy driver and BIOS packages. The move to modern management with MS Intune has made these tasks more challenging. With MS Intune you can use Windows Update for Business or utilize OEM software to keep your estate up to date. The main issue with this is that you lose control and the opportunity to perform thorough testing before you release it to your clients. In this session, you will learn about all the options using native options in Intune to maintain your drivers and BIOS. You will also learn about how to use OEM and community tools together to apply complete control over when a BIOS or Driver update is being deployed to your end-user devices and how to report on your current status.

What you will learn:
  • Understand the built-in functionality for BIOS and driver management.
  • Understand the risks associated with not maintaining BIOS and drivers.
  • Get real-world examples of maintaining BIOS and drivers via Intune
  • Support multiple OEMs without having to deal with multiple portals or tools.
