Live event + Q&A

It’s Not You. It’s Microsoft.

February 18, 2026

12:00 PM - 1:00 PM CST

If a “quick change” in Microsoft turns into half a day’s work, you’re not doing it wrong. You’re just using Microsoft.

What to expect

In this webinar, we’ll laugh, cry, and maybe curse a little at just how hard everyday tasks can be in Microsoft’s ecosystem. We’ll commiserate over things like deploying apps with Intune, provisioning devices with Autopilot now that MDT is gone (?!), and the seemingly impossible task of maintaining consistent policies across too many tools. Then we’ll show how PDQ Connect and SmartDeploy help mitigate those challenges and give you back the time Microsoft has been not-so-quietly stealing from you for years. It’ll be equal parts healing and helpful.

Outside of free therapy, we’ll also be giving away three epic prizes. Register now to save your seat. This might just be our best event of the year.

What you'll learn

Why app deployment with Intune often feels heavier than it should
Where device provisioning gets complicated as teams move beyond MDT to Autopilot
How policy management becomes fragmented across multiple Microsoft tools
Why third-party patching still requires so much manual effort
How to gain faster, clearer visibility into your device environment with PDQ products
