Yesterday, the strong team of regular Ngi-NGN speakers deliverd an awesome day, packed with Windows 10-inspired information to a group of over a hundred attendees during Ngi-NGN’s Windows 10 event at the Possitillion Hotel in Bunnik, the Netherlands.

After Alex Warmerdam kicked off the day with his 10-minute into on Windows 10™, It was my turn as the first speaker to talk about Windows 10. Without a doubt, I chose  the Azure AD Join functionality in Windows 10 as my topic.

The organization asked for a microphone and audio installation for the speakers, but luckily, my voice didn’t need much amplification. Being a big mouth, this time, wasn’t a drawback.

Ronny de Jong picked up on my session with a 40-minute deep-dive on Intune and provisioning packages to manage Windows 10. The hook to my session, meant the attendees got a glimpse of the possibilities for their organization to become cloud-based in terms of identity and systems management.

After the coffee break, Pieter Wigleven shared a story on troubleshooting Exchange Server in his PFE days, to explain how the new identity protection mechanisms in Windows 10 protect your credentials and device. An Intel RealSense device played a major part in his demo.

Martijn Bellaard closed off the security part of the track with the many security measures in Windows 10 (and since Windows XP).

Roel van Bueren delivered an awesome session of Windows 10 and (the lack of) the Windows Store App Universe. His overview of tools (or toels, as he likes to call them) was much appreciated by the audience, since it provided a welcome update to tools and solutions like MDT and ADK, while showing the tips and tricks for various Windows PowerShell Cmdlets to manage the Windows Start Menu.

Raymond showed us ten things we should definitely take a look at in Windows 10, focusing the larger part of this session on updating and provisioning. Good stuff!

After another short break, Erwin Derksen shared how Platani deployed thousands of Windows 8,.1 Update 1 devices in an educational environment, His main advice is to focus on simplicity. Most of the time, technology isn’t the problem.

The panel discussion we had with all the speakers during the last 30 minutes of the day was filled with questions, mostly targeted at Pieter.

Consequently, for many attendees, his presence provided legitimacy to the event.

During drinks at the bar, we had some more discussions, but more on that in future blog posts.

Thank you!
