Introduction: why this matters

Microsoft Technical Takeoff is positioned as a practical, engineering-led skilling event for admins who need to modernize endpoint management while keeping pace with security, cloud management, and cross-platform device complexity. For Intune teams, it’s a concentrated opportunity to get deeper technical guidance, ask implementation questions live, and validate roadmap direction through feedback sessions.

The 2026 format is straightforward: new sessions every Monday in March, live on the Microsoft Tech Community, with recordings available shortly after broadcast.

What’s new / key themes for Intune at Takeoff 2026

Engineering access and hands-on guidance

  • Live Q&A during sessions and the ability to post questions in advance from each session page.
  • A mix of technical deep dives, AMAs, and feedback-gathering sessions designed to influence product direction.
  • Sessions are live-captioned with AI-generated captions, followed by human-verified captions and transcripts by the end of each week.

Agenda highlights (Intune-focused)

Kickoff panel

  • Let’s Talk Windows & Intune (Mon, March 2, 7:00 AM PT) with engineering leaders discussing what they’re hearing from IT admins and what’s shaping device management and security.

Zero Trust and security

  • Zero Trust in Action: Securing endpoints with Intune (Mar 2)
  • Least privilege on Windows with Intune Endpoint Privilege Management (Mar 9)

Provisioning and device management

  • AMA: Migrating from Windows Autopilot to Windows Autopilot Device Prep (Mar 2)
  • Cross-platform and scale topics: Android, iOS, Apple security best practices, Windows management fundamentals, and behind-the-scenes “timing” behavior (Mar 2–Mar 16)
  • Deploy and manage Windows 365 with Microsoft Intune (Mar 23)

Automation and AI

  • AI-powered admin: Emerging trends in endpoint management (Mar 2)
  • AI roundup: Intune agents for outcome-oriented innovation (Mar 16)
  • AMA: Getting the most from Security Copilot in Intune (Mar 16)

Apps, data, and reporting

  • Enterprise app management feedback session (Mar 9)
  • Making the most of your Intune data (Mar 9)
  • Real-time reporting with Windows Autopatch update readiness (Mar 16)
  • Simplify app deployment with Intune (Mar 16)

Impact on IT administrators and end users

For admins, the biggest value is implementation clarity—migration guidance (Autopilot to Device Prep), least-privilege operationalization (EPM), and pragmatic reporting and app deployment workflows. For end users, the downstream benefits are improved provisioning consistency, tighter security controls with less friction, and better reliability of updates and app delivery.

Action items / next steps

  1. Review the full agenda and register/bookmark sessions at https://aka.ms/TechnicalTakeoff.
  2. Use Add to Calendar and Attend on session pages to receive reminders.
  3. Post environment-specific questions ahead of time (especially for AMAs on Autopilot Device Prep and Security Copilot in Intune).
  4. Plan internal coverage: assign topic owners (security/EPM, provisioning, Apple/Android, reporting/Autopatch) to attend live and share takeaways.

Microsoft emphasizes that sessions will be available on demand, so teams can still capture the content even if they can’t attend live.
