Microsoft Intune: a 3-part podcast series!!


Hello Reader,

I know many of you may already be subscribed to the bi-weekly podcast that Scott Hoag and I do, but if you don't, I wanted to let you know about a three-part series we recently finished up recording. Today, we released the final episode in a series of discussions on Microsoft Intune. When I think about Intune, I often break it up into three pillars:

  1. Devices: You can use Microsoft Intune to manage all the devices in your organization across Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android. Here is the episode where we talk about managing your devices in Microsoft Intune.
  2. The second pillar is applications. Once you have your devices managed, you can use Intune to push out App packages and create app protection policies. If you can't (or don't want) to fully manage mobile devices, this episode is great for learning how to protect your corporate data on non-managed devices. Listen to the full episode here.
  3. Our final pillar is Security. This one actually ties somewhat into the Microsoft security center as well as devices. When it comes to security in Intune, you can manage policies related to Microsoft Defender, firewalls, drive encryption, and other security-related policies. If you're curious about security-related options in Intune, check out the epsidoe that was just publisehd today!

I hope you find these episodes helpful in your Microsoft 365 journey!

Thank you all, and have a great day!

Hello Reader, Wow, I can't believe it's almost March! 2025 has started a bit hectic, and my newsletter consistency has suffered.

Hello Reader, Wow, it's been way to long since I've sent a Microsoft 365 tip to you Reader. I went on vacation for a few weeks in June and have been catching up since. My family and I had a great time, nice and relaxing, and I have some new things coming soon, so keep an eye out for that! But, enough about me, onto the Microsoft 365 management tip for the month! 💡A Microsoft 365 Management Tip: Use Conditional Access for MFA!

Hello Reader, I worked for 20 hours straight yesterday. From 8 am - 4 am! This isn't to brag, in fact, I hope I never have to do it again. I also hope you never have to do it (although being in IT, I'm sure many of you are). In this particular case, it was due to multiple server failures that a client had within their on-premises infrastructure, and we spent 20 hours getting critical components back up, some of which we had to build from scratch. However, it could have just as easily been due...
