Microsoft Endpoint Manager 2021 Q1 Preview - MS MVP Kevin Kaminski

Join us for a lively, interactive ONLINE session presented by Microsoft MVP Kevin Kaminski.

ABOUT OUR EVENT

Getting started with Intune can be a little scary if it is your first time. We will start this session by looking at Cloud Configuration for Intune. We will take a wizard-based approach to take the guesswork out of configuring a proof of concept environment.

Going beyond simple Internet connectivity, we will look into some of the more modern approaches that organizations are taking to incorporate modern device provisioning with Windows Autopilot. Intune has also made a number of improvements with configuring Windows devices, and we will specifically look at the Intune Settings Catalog and how it can help you bring a rich management experience.

Join us virtually, where we will take you on a journey through the latest Intune Cloud Configuration highlights vital for keeping your knowledge and IT Pro skills up to date.
