Microsoft Intune Technical Takeoff 2026 in March
Summary
Microsoft is bringing its engineering-led Technical Takeoff back in March 2026, with new Intune-focused sessions streaming every Monday on Microsoft Tech Community and recordings posted shortly after. The event matters for IT admins because it offers direct access to Microsoft engineers through live Q&A, deep technical sessions, and feedback opportunities on areas like Zero Trust, endpoint security, and privilege management—helping teams sharpen deployment plans and stay aligned with the Intune roadmap.
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

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)

- 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
- Review the full agenda and register/bookmark sessions at https://aka.ms/TechnicalTakeoff.
- Use Add to Calendar and Attend on session pages to receive reminders.
- Post environment-specific questions ahead of time (especially for AMAs on Autopilot Device Prep and Security Copilot in Intune).
- 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.
