Description:Modern Management isn’t a clean upgrade; it’s peeling back layers to see how much legacy glue and duct tape still holds your environment together. This isn't a cozy session; it’s a flashlight-in-the-basement look at workloads that become roadblocks, hybrid dependencies that linger, and patterns quietly blocking your cloud-first move. Walk through the identity pieces you still rely on, the on-prem requirements that persist, and the engineering magic needed when Intune can’t natively fulfill your needs. Leave knowing what to fix, keep, and burn down for Entra ID, Intune, and cloud-first management to really work in environments.
What you will learn:- Surface, modernize, or replace overlooked configurations that derail cloud journeys before they block you. Dive into hybrid realities like encryption workflows, LAPS, legacy patching, and unexpected infrastructure for cloud-only management.
- Identify what must stay for Entra ID–joined devices in complex hybrid environments. Cover user/hybrid device sync, accessing on-prem resources, identity considerations on endpoints, and where traditional imaging still beats Autopilot.
- Determine what legacy management you can finally kill and how to replace it with cloud‑first approaches that scale. Use Intune Remediations as your “Swiss Army knife,” shift from logon‑time to cloud‑time logic, and eliminate domain-based assumptions.
- Understand how to select the right app deployment models, lay down configurations that don't fit standard policies, and bury Group Policy debt once and for all.
