Product Information
From the Publisher
How has your background experience helped you to write this book?
Christiaan:
I’ve been part of Windows 365 from the beginning and have built a close partnership with the Intune engineering team. As a product manager at Microsoft, I got an opportunity to drive various features such as the Windows 365 app, Switch, Boot, and most recently Microsoft’s Windows Cloud and AI strategy. All of this has helped me in writing this book, with Per.
Per:
Having had more than 25 years’ experience in device management helps when sharing best practices on how to manage and secure Windows. For the past five years I’ve been part of the Intune engineering organization working closely with our biggest customers, getting feedback on what is not working for them when moving to cloud native Windows management.
What part or parts of the book are your favourite(s), and why?
Christiaan:
My favorite part is the Windows 365 chapter where we explain new features such as Windows 365 Boot and Switch that allow end users to connect to Cloud PCs directly from within the Windows 11 logon screen or task view integration. My other favorite chapter is the one on Copilot as it shows early insights into how this will change the future of IT management inside Microsoft Intune. Do also not forget to check out the Intune Suite chapter with a wealth of new product insights covered there too.
Per:
My favorite part of the book is the chapters that cover how to secure Windows. With the cybersecurity threat landscape becoming more and more advanced, it is crucial that IT pros know how to configure Windows security features.
In what ways have you been active in the community?
Christiaan:
Since 2015, I’ve been a reoccurring participant in many community events (both EUC and endpoint management). Speaking at larger industry events as a keynote speaker as well as writing books is something I like to do as my personal way of giving back to the communities for all the work IT professionals do for Microsoft.
Per:
As a public speaker, I attend the MEM summit and WPNinja summit in Europe. I also attend the local WP Ninja monthly online to share knowledge.
What makes this book better than/different from other Microsoft Intune titles?
Christiaan:
Unlike most technical books and blogs that skip the what, why, and how, "Mastering Microsoft Intune" covers it all, providing you with comprehensive insights and guidance. In this book, you will learn what the product and features do as well as understand it in depth with screenshots. Something I always look for on the internet but cannot always find. This book is a library of knowledge.
Per:
We've combined both basic and advanced scenarios on how to get to and manage Windows in a cloud native world and covered the entire life cycle for both physical and Cloud PC devices.
