Modern Management of User Data and Settings

Description:
One of the biggest roadblocks preventing customers from transitioning away from legacy OSD to modern management using Autopilot is that the lack of an automated process of capturing and restoring data, settings and applications outside of ConfigMgr. In this session we will cover methods that facilitate true zero touch PC deployment for the replace and 'reimage' scenarios. These technologies enable organizations to direct ship PC’s from the manufacturer to the end user and to replace broken hardware in just minutes. This not only frees up valuable time for the IT team to focus on more important tasks it also results in less loss of productivity for the end user. As an added benefit the user data is accessible anywhere from any device.

What you will learn:

Migrating user data to OneDrive for Business using Known Folder Move
Configuring UE-V to capture user settings
Configuring Enterprise State Roaming to capture user settings
How to deal with reinstalling applications outside of OSD

Role Based Administration, Not Just Another Three Letter Acronym

Description:
Role Based Administration (RBA) in System Center Configuration Manager (ConfigMgr) is a critical mechanism for most organizations. It enables a divide and conquer approach to administration by controlling visibility and manageability of nearly all objects in the ConfigMgr console. RBA is also key to preventing mishaps in any organization where there are distinct separate responsibilities or even [gasp] a lack of trust between admins. Configuring RBA though is bit a cumbersome as there is no hierarchy of non-collection objects and thus there is no inheritance of controls and permissions on these objects. We’ll dive as deep as we dare into everything you need to know to implement RBA successfully along with the various caveats, exceptions, and things to avoid. We’ll also walk through common scenarios to help solidify what RBA actually is, how is actually works, and why you should be using it even in smaller organizations.

What you will learn:

Why RBA is not Role based access control (RBAC) and what it actually does.
Why you should use RBA.
How to successfully implement RBA.

Systems Management Mistakes (and How to Avoid Them)

You will learn what tools are now available for managing your systems and apps so that you can choose the right one for the task.

What you will learn:

Know which tools are available for systems management and what they do and learn which you should you use for your systems - based on what you want to accomplish with them.
Learn limitations of the Microsoft tools which are available to manage your systems and applications.

Description:
Application management is one of the core, bread and butter feature sets in ConfigMgr that nearly every environment utilizes. But how much do you use or know about? Application management has steadily evolved since 2012 was released and a large number of new functions, dials, switches and knobs now exist. This session will dive into these many choices and the scenarios they can help address; we'll peel back the covers in this demo oriented session and dive into logs, SQL CE, WMI, the database, and of course Software Center (the center of all things Application Management).

What you will learn:

Application Management dos and dont's
Application Management new and advanced functionality
Application Management troubleshooting and inner-workings

Description:
Join Maurice Daly and Mikael Nystrom in a session with Windows driver focus. Love them or hate them, drivers are a fundamental component to the Windows OS and management is essential for the health of the machine.

So, let’s talk about drivers, the selection process (known as ranking) within the Windows OS, strategy for keeping driver package sizes down, driver packages or legacy packages, family packages, UWP drivers (Yes, they are a "thing"), in-place upgrades and for old time sake "Apply All Drivers" (yes you will be asked to leave the room). You will learn about both client and server drivers, as well as choosing the correct method of deploying, upgrading, maintaining and troubleshoot drivers

Manage ConfigMgr Internet-Based Clients with CMG

Description:
CMG allows us to manage our internet facing clients. Previously we have used Internet-based client management where we had to configure secure internet-facing site systems so that internet-based clients could communicate. This was a good technology with many advantages. However, there were also some disadvantages. Now we can use CMG to manage these clients. It consists of a Microsoft Azure cloud service and a ConfigMgr site system role that communicates with that Azure service. Internet clients can then use the Azure service to communicate with ConfigMgr. This is really cool technology and gives us many advantages over traditional internet based client management. In this session we'll learn how to set up a CMG.

What you will learn:

Understand the typical CMG management scenarios and which features are supported
See how the CMG actually works to deliver these features
Learn about the prerequistes for configuring a CMG, including certificates and firewall ports
Know how to create and use the CMG to manage internet clients

So you think you know ConfigMgr, find out why you're wrong - Part 2

Description:
In Part 2 of Common ConfigMgr Issues and How to Fix 'em, David and Cameron will continue reviewing some common potholes and tripwires that can keep you from enjoying a relaxing, and euphoric ConfigMgr experience. As the saying goes, "Humans are the worst thing to ever happen to technology", we will focus more on how the tools are used (or misused), and provide some options for avoiding some painful mistakes.

Hopefully you attended Part 1, with Adam Gross and Doug Wilson, so you've been seasoned and tenderized for proper grilling. If you didn't, you might want to jump back on the grill, you're not done yet.

Topics include:

Servers as Desktops
Anti-Virus headaches
GPO tug of wars
Databases for $100, Alex
It's never DNS!
Task Sequences with babies
Staffing (an army of one)

In this session we will provide practical lessons on automation mistakes that we have seen and how to avoid them. You will learn what tools are now available for automation so that you can choose the right one for the task.

What you will learn:
