Question: You have the "power" (like He-Man) to change, add, improve one thing about Windows endpoint management in Intune. What would this be and why? How would this impact your business or ability to manage the Windows endpoints on behalf of your business and why is this important?

I have a VM which was asleep since December. Edge was logged into #msintune before it slept. I woke it back up, rebooted the VM and re-launched Edge. And... hey.. I'm still logged into #msintune. Is this expected??

Why people continue to post articles about #PowerShell scripts based on the soon-to-be retired AzureAD and MSOL modules is incomprehensible. Didn't they get the memo? It's time to embrace the Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK. office365itpros.com/2025/01/15/m... #Microsoft365

The MSOnline module retirement happens in April 2025 and the AzureAD module follows in the 3rd quarter. It's way past time to upgrade PowerShell scripts.
