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

The harsh truth is that unless you are managing a small lab with like 50 clients, you are very likely to never reach 100 percent of happiness (we're sorry). In this session, you learn about techniques and solutions to improve the health of your ConfigMgr Infrastructure, Site System Servers as well as ConfigMgr Clients. From building your own custom health check solution, to implementing community solutions, to implementing practical operations tasks.

What you will learn:
  • How to create and implement client health solutions
  • Understand ConfigMgr Client Health
  • Improving your ConfigMgr Infrastructure
  • Implement daily, weekly, and monthly operations tasks

Brewing Beer with Azure
Description:
Come drink beer with us, learn about brewing, and Azure all at the same time. We'll take a look at the brewing process and the controllers that allow us to churn out way more beer than our livers would like us to. We'll peek into IoT Hub, Log Analytics, Service Bus Hubs, Logic Apps, and of course beer. We look at the fun stuff we could do with Azure besides deploying VMs and assets for our boss. We may even get to finally see Nathans completed kegerator... or at least hear horror stories from the experience.

What you will learn:
  • What cool stuff I can do with Azure that isn't work-related
  • Why do we do stuff one way vs another (IoTHub vs Log Analytics API, etc.)
  • What is Beer
