Securing your Entra IDentities

Security of your identities is crucial in the cloud. With Microsoft Entra we have many options and tools to make sure our identities can stay as secure as possible while at the same time we keep our users productive. Your identity is also what defines what and how you can access your resources in the cloud.

Learn how to protect both your standard users and all the privileged accounts in Azure AD. Join in on a journey from password strategies, authentication methods, identity protection, privileged identity management, conditional access all the way over to a password-less world.

User Lifecycle Governance in Azure AD

Most organizations now has 1 or many workloads in the Microsoft cloud, meaning users in Azure AD. When starting down this journey we see many struggle with having a good way of handling lifecycle of not only the users, but also what access these users get over time. Even when Hybrid and "all users" are managed on-premies, there are challenges like access to M365 Groups and Teams, Guests and External users and more.

In this session we will focus on challenges that applies both to cloud-native and hybrid environments including joiner and leaver scenarios, governance of external and guest users and how to use access reviews and access packages to help you be in control.

The Art of Log Collection - Navigating the Many Paths to Log Analytics

Intune Reporting – Kusto FTW

Using the built in monitor and reports in Intune is sufficient for some, but as with all reporting solutions, what is fine for you is not fine for others.

The desire for Microsoft to build a flexible reporting solution where your Intune data is available is often an ask, however, its already there, hidden in plain sight, and no we did not mean the CSV export button.

Enabling the diagnostic settings is the first part of making sure you can utilize the power of KQL, building your own customized reports in the form of a workbook. Think of KQL as SQL queries, Log Analytics as your SQL DB, and workbooks as SQL SSRS, but far better in terms of visualizations, and easy to share with your coworkers, management etc. Better still, KQL reports can be shared with others, making this a community reporting solution!

Join in for a session filled with powerful KQL queries, tips on visualizations, guidance on obtaining custom data, and practical examples of where you can make your Intune reports shine. Taking it one step beyond just reporting, we will also show you how to use the same data to do more with automations in Azure.

Session talking about how to get up and running with custom reporting for Intune with log analytics & KQL queries

Practical examples of how these are implemented with customers leverage these reports

Alerting? Azure Monitor also comes into play

Entra ID Lifecycle Workflows

Most organizations now has 1 or many workloads in the Microsoft cloud, meaning users in Entra ID. When starting down this journey we see many struggle with having a good way of handling lifecycle of not only the users, but also what access these users get over time. Even when Hybrid and "all users" are managed on-premies, there are challenges like access to M365 Groups and Teams, Guests and External users and more.

In this session we will focus on challenges that applies both to cloud-native and hybrid environments including joiner and leaver scenarios, governance of external and guest users and how to use access reviews and access packages to help you be in control.

Hva er egentlig "Modern Management" og hvordan kommer vi dit?

Hva er egentlig "modern management" ? Begrepene er mange og uklare, det er ikke alltid lett å vite hvilke løsninger som skal brukes når.
Denne sesjonen vil ta for seg begrepene og vise veien fra klassisk managment til moderne management.

Endpoint Analytics - La dine data jobbe for deg.

45 min om Endpoint Analytics i Intune. Kan gå mer i detalj nærmere dato med tanke på at dette er i preview nå og mye skjer på området

The World According To Endpoint Analytics

Endpoint analytics brings valuable information from your endpoints, direct to you the Endpoint admin.

Understand about why your devices are being powered down, the performance deltas between different builds of Windows 10, and most cool of all, using Proactive Remediation's to script your own solutions to gather information, apply fixes, and more.

Endpoint Analytics and proactive remediation

Endpoint Analytics is a new analytics solution from Microsoft that aims to increase user productivity by shifting focus from being reactive to being proactive. In order to be proactive, you need insight into data you can measure against. Endpoint Analytics consists of 3 components
– Redommended Software
– Startup Performance
– Proactive remediations
In this session we will go through all 3 components, while Proactive Remediations is the area we will spend the most time on.

Introducing Intune BIOS & Driver Control

Traditional ConfigMgr admins have grown up with tight control measures to allow them to deploy driver and BIOS packages. Over the past year in particular though, the focus has shifted away to direct management of devices through Intune.

In this scenario you can use automatic updating of drivers form Microsoft through update rings, or utilise OEM software to ensure you are always on the latest build. The issue is though if you want control across both your ConfigMgr and Intune managed devices, ensuring they are all in sync.

In this session we will run through how to apply control methods using community and OEM tools in harmony to ensure you have complete control over the stability of your end user devices.

We just deployed 1500 Teams Meeting Rooms - learn how we did it

In the end they will reflect on Teams Admin Center administration capabilities.

Need a hybrid Identity? You can't just simply deploy Azure AD Connect

Any business with Active Directory on-premises that want to start using functionality like co-managment, Intune, Autopilot Hybrid Join or Exchange online among many other things need a Azure AD Hybrid Identity. Azure AD Connect sync is still the best option for customers having Hybrid Identity. Even though Microsoft now has come out with Cloud Provisioning there many scenarios that is not supported with that yet. There are also many dependencies to plan and design for when you get started on this path. This session will go deep into what is needed for a solid setup of AAD Hybrid Identity along with dependencies to Exchange, ConfigMgr/Intune and Windows 10.
* Azure AD Connect Sync vs Cloud Provisioning
* Windows 10 Hybrid AD Join
* Authentication and Password with Hybrid Identity
* Hybrid Exchange - Why do we need it and how

Managing device access to your company data without enrollment

Today many users want to be able to use any device to do their work. They have privacy concerns and don’t want their personal devices managed by their employer. On the other side, IT need to be able to secure that company data is secured and that they are able to control what happens to the data after users has access. In this session you’ll learn how apps can be managed by Microsoft Intune Mobile Application Managment and EM+S to provide a great user experience that IT can trust. You will also learn how this really works and how to configure this in your environment.

How to get started with Azure MFA the right way
