Microsoft Intune Learning Resources for Always On VPN Administrators

Note: This post has been updated and republished to reflect the return to the Microsoft Intune product name and to include updated learning resources for Always On VPN administrators.

Microsoft Intune is the recommended solution for deploying and managing Windows Always On VPN client configuration settings. Always On VPN is designed for Mobile Device Management (MDM), with configuration settings deployed specifically to the VPNv2 Configuration Service Provider (CSP) interface.

Resources

Getting up to speed on all things MEM isn’t difficult at all. I’ve found the MEM community to be exceedingly helpful, and there are many available training resources in various formats from which to choose.

Books

The following is a list of Microsoft Endpoint Manager books Always On VPN administrators will find most helpful for learning about MEM.

Mastering Microsoft Intune by Christiaan Brinkhoff and Per Larsen

Learning Microsoft Intune by Scott Duffey

MDM: Fundamentals, Security, and the Modern Desktop by Jeremy Moskowitz

YouTube

The Intune Training channel on YouTube is an incredibly valuable resource for Always On VPN administrators learning MEM. Hosted by Steven Hosking, Adam Gross, and Ben Reader, there are countless videos covering important MEM configuration tasks.

Pluralsight

Pluralsight offers video training courses for a wide variety of IT-related topics. Recently I published the Implementing Always On VPN video training course. There are several Microsoft Endpoint Manager video training courses available as well. Pluralsight is available via subscription. You can sign up for a free trial here if you don’t have a subscription.

Conferences

The Midwest Management Summit (MMS) is the premier event for systems management professionals. Their annual conference takes place each spring in the U.S. (Minneapolis, MN). The event is the best place to learn about Microsoft Endpoint Manager and network with systems management professionals worldwide.

ViaMonstra Online Academy

I will be delivering the Mastering Certificates with Microsoft Intune training course at the ViaMonstra online training academy May 14-16, 2024. This three-day live, interactive training course provides a comprehensive deep dive into all aspects of deploying and managing digital certificates using Microsoft Intune. Microsoft Cloud PKI will also be covered. Space is limited, so register today!

Additional Resources

As a reminder, Microsoft Intune topics such as certificate deployment and Always On VPN profile deployment and management are covered in detail in both my Implementing Always On VPN book and the Implementing Always On VPN video training course on Pluralsight. 😁
