AMA: Visibility and control across devices with Intune

Heather_Poulsen — Fri, 19 Jun 2026 14:37:01 GMT

This AMA is designed for IT teams looking to cut through the noise and gain clearer insight into what’s really happening across their device estate.

You can’t secure or manage what you can’t fully see. As organizations support more users, more device types, and more ways of working, endpoint management has become increasingly complex. Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, personally-owned devices, frontline workers, remote teams: every layer adds new challenges when it comes to visibility, monitoring, compliance, and troubleshooting.

Come ready to talk through the sometimes messy realities of endpoint management in today's world. Let's talk about inconsistent reporting, missing signals, compliance blind spots, alert fatigue, cross-platform management, and the challenge of turning raw data into meaningful action. Want to know if your reporting is giving you the full picture? Curious where organizations typically lose visibility or struggle with enforcement at scale? Wondering how others are approaching analytics, monitoring, and troubleshooting across multiple platforms? Bring your toughest questions and compare notes directly with Microsoft experts and peers navigating the same challenges in Intune every day.

AMA: Deployment made easy with Intune and Windows Autopilot

Heather_Poulsen — Fri, 19 Jun 2026 14:34:01 GMT

Join this Ask Microsoft Anything (AMA) to dive into the real-world deployment scenarios organizations are navigating every day.

A successful Intune deployment is about more than getting devices enrolled.

Small missteps can quickly impact productivity and user trust.

Have questions about Windows Autopilot configuration, dynamic groups, enrollment strategies, app packaging and delivery, troubleshooting failed deployments, deployment rings, and avoiding policy conflicts that can lock users out or disrupt workflows? Whether you’re just getting started or refining a mature deployment strategy, this AMA is your opportunity to connect directly with Microsoft experts, share challenges, and learn practical approaches for building a smoother, more resilient deployment experience with Intune.

Join our Ask Microsoft Anything (AMA) session to explore the strategies, lessons learned, and real-world considerations that can help you build a simpler, more scalable endpoint management approach with Intune.

Bring your questions about device strategy, co-management vs. cloud-only management, policy design, security baselines, user experience tradeoffs, and more. Whether you’re planning a new deployment, modernizing existing processes, or trying to reduce administrative overhead, this AMA is an opportunity to talk directly with Microsoft experts about the decisions, challenges, and best practices shaping modern endpoint management today.
