Are you ready to move your organization to Windows 11? Richard talks to Michael Niehaus about the upcoming end of support for Windows 10 in 2025 and the pressure to get to Windows 11. Michael talks about how slow Windows 11 adoption has been, mainly because there hasn't been a significant reason to do so. But as of October 14, 2025, organizations will have to pay for long-term support - and it's cheaper to move to Windows 11. The conversation digs into how Microsoft seems to be updating Windows 11, deployment strategies, and the optimal ways to move your workforce to a new operating system.Links:TaniumWindows 11Windows 10 Enterprise LTSCMicrosoft Deployment ToolkitWindows AutopilotSupporting Windows 11 in MDTMichael's Blog post on MDT and Windows 11Recorded January 12, 2023

Are your PC deployments on Autopilot? Richard talks to Michael Niehaus about Windows Autopilot, which offers a centralized way to deploy to PCs, both remotely and on-premises. Michael talks about getting away from the double-shipping approach of provisioning new PCs, where you as an IT person have to receive a machine, load it up, then ship it out to the employee that is using it. With Autopilot you identify new PCs to your hardware provider using your Azure Tenant ID. Then you specify your configuration information so that when the machine powers up and connects to the Internet, it knows how to provision itself. There are also services for resetting machines and de-provisioning them at end-of-life!
The Windows Insider Program gives IT Pros credibility and the chance to deliver better products to their customers. On top of that, companies and organizations have a huge impact on the development of Windows. In this episode, we ask Michael Niehaus, Director of Product Marketing at Windows, what businesses can gain from deploying preview builds at work. We also hear from an IT Pro whose close relationship with the Windows Insider team makes him better at his job. To connect with Michael Niehaus on Twitter, you can find him @mniehaus.

One Memorial Day my father decided to chop down a half dead tree in our yard. He tied himself with rope, climbed up the tree, hoisted up a chain saw and started cutting limbs off. Of course, we didn't have camcorders back then, otherwise you'd have seen it on YouTube. You know what happened, a limb gets tied to the other end of the rope that is around my dad's waist. Limb gets cut, falls to ground, father catapaults through the air and breaks a couple of ribs, but lives to win the battle with the tree. So, don't do that this weekend ok? And if you do, have someone tape it for YouTube. The better idea is to call Michael Niehaus of Out On A Limb Tree Care. He's this week's guest. He's joined by Tom Van Wert of Digital Vision Marketing. They're going to help each other get more customers and keep them out of the trees.

TallPau1: Now WINPE supports PowerShell, will MDT's VBSCRIPT scripts be moved over to PowerShell at any time? TallPau1: ##Is there anyway to configure the workbench with PowerShell? lizaoreo: At work now we're using a MDT2010 deployment solution and are moving to SCCM2012, but the dude in charge is wanting to dump all the MDT stuff and start completely from scratch using nothing from SCCM2012, I'm trying to figure out if that makes sense, or if it's better to keep that MDT integration RichP: ## Being able to package applications to deploy via MDT is another hole in Microsoft's strategy (Orca doesn't count); is Microsoft planning something to fill that gap? AaronHoover: ## how do customers balance new v3 features and a solid v2 base with remoting? code to v2 lowest common denominator? or if v2 > v2 script, else v3 script RichP: ## With the MDT Solution Accelerator being the 'deployment' solution, would it not be your team that releases the 'Format-Disk' cmdlets, etc?
