Intune Tech Community Live 2026: Defender, Copilot AMAs

Introduction

Endpoint management is moving quickly—new security expectations, evolving app delivery models, and accelerating AI capabilities all impact how admins manage Windows, macOS, iOS/iPadOS, and Android fleets. Microsoft’s Tech Community Live: Intune Edition is designed as an interactive event (not a one-way webinar), giving Intune administrators direct access to Microsoft experts to get practical answers and share feedback.

What’s happening: Tech Community Live – Intune Edition

Date: Monday, January 26, 2026 (times listed in PST)
Format: Four live Ask Microsoft Anything (AMA) sessions

Agenda (PST)

• 8:00 AM – Secure your endpoints with policy and Microsoft Defender
• 9:00 AM – Manage apps like a pro with Microsoft Intune
• 10:00 AM – Best practices for applying Zero Trust using Intune
• 10:30 AM – Copilot and agentic-centered endpoint management

Why it matters for IT admins

This event is aimed at admins who need answers that are hard to find in documentation—especially when you’re dealing with real-world constraints like legacy apps, mixed platforms, and security requirements.

Key value areas include:

• Direct guidance from Microsoft engineering teams building Intune features and capabilities.
• Best practices you can apply immediately, whether you’re tightening compliance, improving app deployment outcomes, or standardizing security baselines.
• A feedback channel that can influence product direction, especially useful for pain points around policy behavior, reporting, and automation.

Expected impact on operations and users

While the event doesn’t introduce a specific new feature announcement, it can materially impact how you operate Intune:

• Improved endpoint security posture (policy + Defender alignment) can reduce incident volume and accelerate response.
• More reliable app deployment and lifecycle management can reduce helpdesk tickets and improve end-user experience.
• Clearer Zero Trust implementation patterns can help you standardize access and device trust requirements across teams.
• Copilot/agentic management discussions may shape how you evaluate automation, troubleshooting, and admin workflows going forward.
