May 2021 for MSPs: the Microsoft 365 Lighthouse service plan lands in Business Premium, external group chat hits GA with 250 participants, and reply-all storm protection becomes tunable.
Group Policy can bulk-enroll devices that are already joined to on-premises Active Directory into Intune, with no local admin rights and no end-user interaction required.
Intune tags every enrolled device corporate or personal automatically, and that tag decides whether it lands under MDM or MAM. Here is exactly how the classification is made.
Intune's default auto-enrollment puts every device under full MDM, including the cell phones your users never wanted managed. Here is how to scope MDM and MAM the right way.
Federating an Azure AD domain to Apple Business Manager lets users sign in with their existing Azure AD credentials and creates Managed Apple IDs automatically. Here is what it unlocks.
A PowerShell script that builds an IT Glue flexible asset and fills it with every Intune-enrolled device across all your customers, including compliance state, encryption, and Autopilot status.
A PowerShell script that documents Microsoft 365 license usage per tenant in Syncro: every licensed and unlicensed user, plus available versus consumed seats, across all your customers.

Microsoft lets end users buy subscriptions on their own credit card, outside your CSP margin. Here is a one-script way to disable self-service purchasing across all the tenants you manage.
March 2021's Microsoft 365 changes that matter to MSPs: attendee camera controls in Teams, granular EOP quarantine release, new least-privilege admin roles, and self-service purchase expansion.
