lets put the "8 hour sync" meme to rest

Its not exactly obvious to them, and no one wants to potentially become out of compliance with their licensing.

PSAppDeployToolkit Enterprise app deployment, simplified.

I don't think we have any apps that require manual intervention post-install.
we have a bunch of apps that require complex scripted setup, all of which is solved by using psappdeploytoolkit.com

I have used intune dependency chains to handle apps that require a reboot between steps.

Hey #configmgr #sccm #intune #w365 peeps. Couple of questions:

Do you have applications that require manual configuration on the end user device before giving it to users?

How many apps require a complex sequence (install order, reboot, etc) to work correctly?

Please repost for visibility 😁

looks like admin.microsoft.com is having a bad time

I upgraded all eligible devices to windows 11 back in January 2023. it was no big deal then. Y'all have nothing to worry about.

I keep running into IT professionals that claim to work for a serious enterprise, yet they have a growing pile of technical debt and seem to have no ability to execute on any vision what so ever

I have an apple watch ultra 2
the navigation when walking is amazing
paying with the watch is a no brainer
I really like having a big bright display
I also disable notifications, except for the vibrations, so i still get them, but they are far less intrusive
