The SMB3 IO Lab, hosted by SNIA and sponsored by Microsoft, takes place on April 21–23, right after sambaXP. It offers a dedicated space for hands-on interoperability testing, exploring new SMB features, and collaborating with the Windows Protocol team. To participate, select the option during ticket purchase—your contact details will be shared with SNIA for separate registration. This is a unique chance to engage with experts, test your implementation, and network with professionals from around the world. For more information and registration, please visit the SNIA event website.
The Himmelblau Workshop, taking place on April 22, offers a hands-on session on integrating Linux clients—both with and without a graphical user interface—into Entra ID and managing them in Intune. Participants will learn how to set up authentication, multi-factor login, policies, and license management using the current stable version of Himmelblau. No prior experience or personal Entra ID environment is required, as accounts will be provided for the workshop. This is a unique opportunity to explore practical Linux integration with guidance from experts. Click here to register.
