Getting Your Group Policy Management in Tune and Ready for Microsoft AGPM End of Life
Date: Thursday, June 5th at 11am PT / 2pm ET
In case you haven't heard or forgotten, Microsoft announced Advanced Group Policy Management (AGPM) will be at end of life (EOL) in April 2026. With less than a year to go, it's time to prepare for life after AGPM, modernize your group policy management and speed Intune adoption. If yours is like many other environments, you are faced with effectively managing your GPOs and Intune profiles across platforms and devices, from edge to core, on-prem to cloud, and SaaS. How will you coordinate, orchestrate, and manage your endpoint configuration lifecycle across platforms? How will you facilitate unified, timely reporting, compliance management, and audits? How will you clean up and enable a smooth migration from AGPM while supporting Intune and Entra?
Join Greg Schulz, Author, founder, and Sr. Analyst of Server StorageIO and Microsoft MVP (CDM), along with Danny Ferri, Sr. Solution Architect at SDM Software, to discuss how to modernize Group Policy and Intune lifecycle management. Greg and Danny will discuss how to prepare for life after AGPM, modernize your Group Policy environment with SDM Software for unified management, including Intune, and much more.
