Modern Management Summit 2026

With more and more applications being web based, the most important application we have on our modern devices Microsoft Edge and browsers.
Traditionally we have managed them using Group Policy and/or Intune. But with the introduction of the Edge management service in Microsoft Edge (and Google Chrome) we now have a modern way! Let users request their Extensions, manage extensions and settings in a modern way!
During this demo heavy session we will go through how to configure, secure and enforce a browser Edge, and more important what not to do!

Simplify your life, by harnessing the combined power of Windows 365 Cloud PCs and Windows Autopilot. In this session you will discover how these technologies deliver a seamless, zero-touch provisioning experience, from automated deployment to cloud-based, personalized desktops, drawing on real-world examples and live demonstrations. The session will provide practical strategies to reduce IT workload, speed up onboarding, improve user satisfaction, and ensure devices are secure, compliant, and ready for productivity preparing organizations.

Curious about how to build a rock-solid Privileged Access Workstation (PAW) that meets today’s toughest security demands? Join us for a deep dive into the why, what, and how of PAWs - from hardened Windows configurations and ACfB to secure provisioning, network isolation, and seamless Intune management. We’ll demystify concepts like browse-up/browse-down, explore the quirks of hardware tokens, and explain why a separate Entra tenant might be your best friend. Whether you're starting from scratch or refining your setup, this session will arm you with practical insights to elevate your security posture.

Our examples will focus on the ETSI TS 103 994-1 for conforming to UK TSA regulation but the concepts are universal for virtually any sector requiring a PAW.

Modern endpoint teams don’t need more dashboards, they need faster decisions and fewer incidents. In this session, you’ll see how ControlUp ONE combines deep endpoint telemetry with newly released AI capabilities to surface what matters, explain likely root cause, guide the next best action, and fix them automatically. We’ll walk through real-world scenarios (slow logons, Wi-Fi instability, crashes, update regressions...) and show how AI insights plus automation turn DEX into measurable outcomes: lower ticket volume, shorter MTTR, and higher employee productivity.

This deep dive explains how Microsoft Intune operates at scale, walking through the end to end architecture for policy, app, and configuration delivery. The session highlights where latency can occur, why some scenarios are faster than others, and places a strong focus on the latest performance improvements, recent optimizations, and future plans to further reduce latency and improve reliability. The session concludes with a short live Q&A and shared learnings from real world deployments.

Troubleshooting Windows and Intune keeps advancing, and so do the community-driven tools that support it. In this updated 2026 edition, three Microsoft MVPs come together to explore how modern troubleshooting is evolving through shared knowledge, real-world experience, and powerful community-built tools.
The session focuses on practical, hands-on troubleshooting using a variety of Windows and Intune community tools, ranging from comprehensive troubleshooting frameworks to smaller, focused utilities that deliver quick wins for IT pros. While some tools are explored in more depth, the broader goal is to show how different community solutions complement each other in real troubleshooting scenarios.
Along the way, the speakers share real-world experience from creating and using community tools and how those tools evolve through feedback and practical troubleshooting needs.
AI now plays a central role in both troubleshooting and building community tools. The session demonstrates how AI can analyze logs, process large data sets, propose fixes, accelerate script creation, and assist in developing and maintaining troubleshooting tools while community tools continue to provide structure, context and repeatable workflows.
You’ll see practical examples where GitHub Copilot, VS Code Agents, Microsoft 365 Copilot and ChatGPT complement community-built tools rather than replace them, each taking on a different part of the troubleshooting and tool-building workflow.
Expect a fast-paced, demo-heavy session filled with actionable techniques, real PowerShell examples and insights into the future of AI-assisted Windows and Intune troubleshooting.

Intune is powerful. But for Apple? It's only half the story. No real-time visibility. No remote terminal. Patch cycles that feel like they're running on dial-up. Self-service portal isn’t modern, and much more. And a helpdesk drowning in tickets that should never have existed.
ZeroTouch.ai transforms Intune into a complete, enterprise-grade Apple management powerhouse. One agent. One console. Zero compromise.

Secure Boot is a foundational platform security feature within UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) that ensures only trusted and verified code is allowed to be executed during the system boot process.The chain of trust during boot is established through Secure Boot certificates stored in the firmware trust database (DB), which are pre-installed by OEMs during device manufacturing.The current Secure Boot trust certificates used to validate Windows and third-party boot loaders are approaching expiration and must be updated to the new set of certificates released by Microsoft in 2023 to maintain platform integrity and ensure continued device security and update compliance.In this session —“Secure Boot Chain Update: What, How, You Are Already Late!” — we will cover:

• Why updating Secure Boot certificates is critical for maintaining device trust and servicing continuity
• How to monitor certificate update status and deployment status across your enterprise fleet
• Recommended approaches to safely update your devices
• Troubleshooting Secure Boot update issues
