Intune Newsletter – 20th February 2026

Welcome to this weeks Intune news and it’s a busy few weeks for me.  This edition comes from Göteborg, in fact, as you are reading this I will be mid-way through a customer meeting!  Then I’m off to København for the always great Experts Live DK, followed by a trip to Leipzig for Experts Live DE.

In more important news, the second edition of my Microsoft Intune Cookbook will be released next week, hopefully I’ll have a pre-order link for the next newsletter, I will post it on my website too 🙂

I will endeavour to get the newsletter out on time each week, but if there are any delays, I’m probably sleeping 🙂
