Hello My Friends,

I wanted to remind everyone, that hasn't signed up yet for our event, @wpninjasus 2027 in Scottsdale, that you have 2 weeks left on Early Bird.

Also, only about 30 rooms left on the main hotel (we have an overflow hotel so don't worry there).

This event is going to be huge, and even bigger than Dallas was.

If you've been looking for an event that understands #ITPros and actually caters to what you want, this is your event.

We balance mental health, inclusion, mentoring, technology, and just having fun. It's going to be special and we have so many things we haven't even announced yet.

If you need help convincing your boss, connect and message me, I CAN HELP!

If you want to discuss things you haven't liked with other events, and things you want to see, connect with me. We pledge to addressing 100% of feedback EVERY. SINGLE. YEAR. No one else can make that claim, because you are our family and we GOT you.

Register now and check out the best collection of speakers that Microsoft community has to offer:

I cannot wait for this hackathon.

We have so much scheming going on behind the scenes to keep them on their toes.

Great food, drink, shenanigans and more.

Register now folks, the vibe is immaculate and unlike anything you’ve seen: https://t.co/DuZrJhF0AF

Windows 365 local admin is moving from User settings to Cloud PC configurations.

Disabled ≠ Not configured, rank vs newest-wins, and the Graph call the Intune portal actually sends, plus a PowerShell script 👇

Very excited that some of my dear friends are nominated for this award.

The two main players in this space @GetNerdio and @LoginVSI are very well represented.

This is coupled with our huge announcement that @MarcelMeurer will be joining us in Scottsdale, to co-speak with @virtuEs_IT the reigning #Clippy Champ!!

If you’re a #Hydra or #AVD customer do not miss this event. The perfect opportunity to perfect your #DaaS strategy starts now!!

@NathanMcNulty I am a big advocate of giving and receiving credit and references for the content. I am wondering when Anthropic and OpenAI are using our current/future content in their LLM training will we get our credit? The future generations are just going to ask the questions of the LLM.

[Jon Towles {MVP} @m0bilej0n]

Looking to get some locals to do sessions and overall attend.

It’s one of the nicer Microsoft campuses, will be catered with a hot bar and a happy hour after.

Would love to see some friends :)

Netlogon has a CVSS 9.8 public exploit!

CVE-2026-41089: stack buffer overflow in CLDAP. Working PoC is available. Domain-joined Windows that still expose the classic Netlogon path should treat this as urgent.

Folks, Today IS the DAY!

We have officially made the Session Catalog for @wpninjasus LIVE.

You are in for QUITE a treat.

Never before, has the sessions for an event been so carefully thought out down to the last detail.

We are FULLY TRACKLESS, meaning anything goes.

We covered pretty much every single topic from Mobile to #DotNet to #MacOS to #ZeroTrust to so much more.

Ever go to a session from @Mister_MDM and be frustrated that someone like @merill or @UgurKocDe is speaking at the exact same time? Not just them, we have 53 amazing speakers and those redundant bookings are really hard.

We are handling/addressing that to ensure you maximize your time in Scottsdale.

You can even drill into the parties, preday activities, lunches, and more to see the incredible meals you have coming your way.

Don't walk, RUN to check out that session catalog and register NOW:

For those attending #HIPConf don’t forget to join us in January at @wpninjasus where the best #identity talk of 2027 will happen with @techspence and @merill trying to breathe relevancy into #ActiveDirectory in their grudge match:

“Cage Match - Active Directory is Indefensible” where these two legends will debate about #MSEntra vs #AD while @NathanMcNulty tries to keep them civil.

#AI assistants are great…

until they hallucinate Microsoft Graph endpoints.

So I built GraphMind: an open-source, API-aware MCP server that grounds AI assistants in a local, always-fresh Microsoft Graph API index.

✅~45k endpoints.
✅3-tier search.
✅Safer write confirmation.
