Really? “Autopilot Agents”? That won’t be confused with Intune Autopilot at ALL

https://t.co/6si0qQW0Or

[Peter Girnus 🦅 @gothburz]

Last quarter I rolled out Microsoft Copilot to 4,000 employees.

$30 per seat per month.

$1.4 million annually.

I called it "digital transformation."

The board loved that phrase.

They approved it in eleven minutes.

No one asked what it would actually do.

Including me.

I told everyone it would "10x productivity."

That's not a real number.

But it sounds like one.

HR asked how we'd measure the 10x.

I said we'd "leverage analytics dashboards."

They stopped asking.

Three months later I checked the usage reports.

47 people had opened it.

12 had used it more than once.

One of them was me.

I used it to summarize an email I could have read in 30 seconds.

It took 45 seconds.

Plus the time it took to fix the hallucinations.

But I called it a "pilot success."

Success means the pilot didn't visibly fail.

The CFO asked about ROI.

I showed him a graph.

The graph went up and to the right.

It measured "AI enablement."

I made that metric up.

He nodded approvingly.

We're "AI-enabled" now.

I don't know what that means.

But it's in our investor deck.

A senior developer asked why we didn't use Claude or ChatGPT.

I said we needed "enterprise-grade security."

He asked what that meant.

I said "compliance."

He asked which compliance.

I said "all of them."

He looked skeptical.

I scheduled him for a "career development conversation."

He stopped asking questions.

Microsoft sent a case study team.

They wanted to feature us as a success story.

I told them we "saved 40,000 hours."

I calculated that number by multiplying employees by a number I made up.

They didn't verify it.

They never do.

Now we're on Microsoft's website.

"Global enterprise achieves 40,000 hours of productivity gains with Copilot."

The CEO shared it on LinkedIn.

He got 3,000 likes.

He's never used Copilot.

None of the executives have.

We have an exemption.

"Strategic focus requires minimal digital distraction."

I wrote that policy.

The licenses renew next month.

I'm requesting an expansion.

5,000 more seats.

We haven't used the first 4,000.

But this time we'll "drive adoption."

Adoption means mandatory training.

Training means a 45-minute webinar no one watches.

But completion will be tracked.

Completion is a metric.

Metrics go in dashboards.

Dashboards go in board presentations.

Board presentations get me promoted.

I'll be SVP by Q3.

I still don't know what Copilot does.

But I know what it's for.

It's for showing we're "investing in AI."

Investment means spending.

Spending means commitment.

Commitment means we're serious about the future.

The future is whatever I say it is.

As long as the graph goes up and to the right.

@SprayberryHigh Also the last date has “Sunday” as the month 😂

[Eric Goodman @goodmane]

@SprayberryHigh 4/25/26 is a Saturday. Is that right?

Hey @MSEndpointMgr, you may want to check your domain!

[Adam Juelich @acjuelich]

Check out the roadmap for Azure Arc and Azure Update Manager, to close some of the gaps with #ConfigMgr and #MSIntune @PatchMyPC

[Eric Goodman @goodmane]

@bdam555 @acjuelich @PatchMyPC Yeah I must have missed it at Ignite too. That could be quite a game changer

[Eric Goodman @goodmane]

@bdam555 @acjuelich @PatchMyPC Is it true that update mgmt with arc is now “free” with SA? I thought I remember hearing at MMS that it’s like $5 per server or something

@IntuneSuppTeam DMed, Thanks!

[Eric Goodman @goodmane]

Hi @azuresupport #azTechHelp @IntuneSuppTeam I am getting the following error when trying to setup a new WUfB reports. I am using a GA account and I confirmed that the subscription is active. This is happening for me in two different tenants. Any ideas?

[Eric Goodman @goodmane]

@AzureSupport DMed! Thanks!

[Eric Goodman @goodmane]

Hi @Mister_MDM, I’m familiar with the concepts of SSO to onprem resources for Entra joined devices.Does that work the same way with other domains in the forest?Could an Entra joined device using Entra Connect synced to Domain A access on on-prem resources in trusted Domain B?

❗️❗️❗️Important notification for Endpoint Admins ❗️❗️❗️

Impacts both win32 apps and scripts in Intune.

Unfortunate timing combined with a very late notification - surely this could have been handled differently ...

@Mister_MDM Interesting, this blog says enterprise. Let’s hope it’s a glitch with the preview!

Hi @Mister_MDM, your article about hot patch says that it requires Win11 LTSC. Is that true? I thought it was also Pro & Ent?

Do you use PSADT? Have you heard 4.0 version is coming?

Next week we're doing a webinar to cover (and ship) the next version of PSADT... version 4.0!
