I have one of those hardware duplicators which works well. Annoyed that I has to buy a package because win10's utility was too stupid to move and enlarge the partition afterwords

Macrium is good but I just prefer EaseUS just like I prefer their partition manager. All done with the clone and both proven.
Gave win permission to download ONLY win11. Somehow I ended up with win 11 in the morning. Except for snippy pretty seamless, surprised all my cad apps still work
Anyone using Microsoft Intune?
Been looking at it tonight for the first time.
For Mrs Gee's business (5 users + me as admin) I have been using Jumpcloud, ESET Protect and Office Business Standard.
Got the email today from Jumpcloud saying they changed their mind about the free for life if you have <10 users / devices.
Its OK for a free tool but deployments are a bit clunky and they do lots of non -standard stuff.
If I upgrade my users to Office Business Premium it costs less than their pricing + I get MS Defender for exchange so may not need ESET any longer (jury's still out on that). And I have a single pane of glass to manage everything. All the endpoints are Windows 11 and I might secure their phone apps if they want to use them for email, teams etc. The very big bank I work for is moving to Defender for endpoint protection, including Linux workstations. SO I guess it must be a lot better than it used to be.
Any compelling reasons not to, or any gotchas I should be aware of? No Microsoft haters or Linux is better evangalists
. So far I have managed to deploy apps, change registry settings, deploy basic security settings and create / deploy GPOs - something I do miss after having gone serverless some years ago. My testing so far has been to just reset a laptop to do a fresh deploy, but I may be nice and migrate their user profiles so they don't have to remember their favourites etc. OTOH nothing is stored locally so blowing them away may be good hygiene
