I've collated 2400+ Microsoft architecture icons and published them for easy access at https://t.co/C1Zv6sIkzn 💙

For every icon, you can:

• Download the scalable SVG file
• Download the PNG of your desired size
• Embed the icon directly into your website or markdown
• Choose a light, dark or transparent background

You can can even compare different icons together and favourite multiple icons for bulk download!

Windows Update: "Great news! The latest security update was installed without a restart."
.NET Update: "Hold my beer!" 😂

[Kaido Järvemets @kaidja]

In case you missed it in the February KB5077241 update, Microsoft quietly added two new PowerShell cmdlets for Secure Boot verification:

Get-SecureBootSVN - checks the Secure Version Number of your firmware and bootloader and reports compliance status. This tells you whether your device is protected against boot manager rollback attacks (CVE-2023-24932).

Get-SecureBootUEFI -Decoded - finally displays Secure Boot keys and certificates in a human-readable format.

@JordanTheITguy Nice! Great job!

One Platform Script that will instantly fix most of your Secure Boot Status Not up to date in @MSIntune Why is nobody other than @kaidja talking about this? Try it out and give it 24 hours.

Intune timing demystified: what’s happening under the hood (and why that’s about to change)

-Intune policies can arrive on a device within minutes…
-PowerShell scripts and remediations may run hours later.
-Required apps often wait around 60 minutes before that workload starts.
-And triggering a remote Sync does not actually sync everything.

That is not a bug... That entire model depends on two things: A notification push to wake the device up… and interal IME timers. Both of those are starting to change.

In this blog I explain the current behavior… and where Intune is heading.

@rodtrent Epic, man. That's an incredible accomplishment.

Many of you are starting seeing this exact @Citrix "unsupported" popup right now. It’s the early warning that your perpetual licenses have lapsed maintenance Important 10k+ seat customers reached out to Citrix asking for a deadline extension on file-based licensing — Citrix said NO. April 15 2026 is final. No grace period. DM for help.

#Microsoft Intune no longer issues certificates using PKCS or SCEP due to an expired certificate on the #msintune Certificate Connector server. Here's how to fix it. #MDM #MEM #mobility #security #aovpn https://t.co/raFzFkc9fT

You can now configure #RDP Shortpath via both Group Policy and #Intune policies for #AzureVirtualDesktop and #Windows365

Make your life easier with centralised management of these important connectivity settings.

@DefiyantlyFree It's very simple: If you can impose a sense of imminence and urgency you can move people to action. What that action is and the motivation behind it may vary, but it's gets people's attention and winds up being the filter through which they see the entirety of Scripture.

The Intune MDM Device Certificate and its renewal…

Next year (around 03/04 of 2026) every single Intune MDM certificate will need renewal.
Yes, all of them!!!!!!!
Why? Because the Microsoft Intune Root Certification Authority is expiring.

I’m marking that date in my calendar, because if even 10% of all Intune-managed devices miss that renewal (which they will because of reasons I am asked to look at now)… we’re in for one massive shitshow.
Why? If the certificate is not renewed, the device would lose communication with Intune.... The only solution is to reenroll!

Where is the Microsoft announcement? @IntuneSuppTeam ????

Remove Default Microsoft Store Packages: Windows Debloat Done Right
Now available in the Intune Settings Catalog!!

The Remove Default Microsoft Store Packages policy gives admins a native and reliable way to remove built in Microsoft Store apps without the need to use fragile PowerShell scripts!

It cleans up unwanted apps automatically during provisioning and on existing enrolled devices, giving you full control over what stays on Windows.

Want to know when this policy actually activates and what happens behind the scenes? That is what the blog uncovers.
