If you are at #msignite this week, here are some tips to enhance your experience

#1 fill seating rows from the middle. Don’t sit on the end of an empty row

#2 the sessions are recorded. You can watch them later. You do not have to take photos of the slides

Always a fun day when a colleague creates an Exchange Online migration batch with a complete after date in their local time zone. Especially when they are 8 hours ahead of the users

I do a lot of configuration reviews of work carried out by other consultants. I am constantly surprised by how poor some of the configuration is out in the wild

@ariaupdated The hybrid join process creates a new Azure AD object and breaks the link to the original Azure AD object created by Autopilot. That means that dynamic groups using the group tag are useless in a Hybrid Join world

@IntuneSuppTeam @Mister_MDM It seems to have calmed down from 11am UK time but last night and first thing this morning there was a definite lag. If the issue continues then I will raise a ticket
