MMSMOA 2019 Sessions
Start to Finish: Using Power BI with Intune Data Warehouse
The title says it all for this session! Garth Jones and Erik Reitan walk you through each step from how to install Power BI to connecting to the Microsoft Intune Data Warehouse. Next you’ll learn how to collect details from Intune and then how to display those details in some good-looking reports!
Learning objectives:
- How to install Power BI.
- How to connect to the Microsoft Intune Data Warehouse.
- The basics on how to query the Microsoft Intune Data Warehouse.
2×4 Building a Good Foundation for Reporting in Configuration Manager
A 2×4 is one of the basic building blocks of any home. If there are broken or misplaced 2×4’s, your house will be in trouble. Reporting is no different, but understandably the challenges are different! This session shows you how to build a good foundation for your reports. Using basic reporting concepts for both Power BI and SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS), Garth Jones and Matthew Hudson show you a number of tips and tricks!
What you will learn:
- How to write a proper query for both Power BI and SSRS reports.
- How to create donut charts, pie charts and more!
- The best tools to use for report writing.
This is your opportunity to ‘step up to the mic’ and show your flare! Join this tips and tricks beer session to boast about something you’ve created, enhanced, or taken to a new level (no vendor stuff please!). Top level Surface Book 2’s will be given away randomly to participants! 1-4 minutes max per person. This year, the session might be recorded because so many tips fly by so quickly that it’s hard to take notes.
Moderated by Garth Jones and Brian Mason.
Objectives:
- Learn about all the cool stuff that your peers are doing in Systems Management.
- Everyone has something to share, sometimes you don’t need to look that far!
- Most importantly, have fun!
