Windows 11 Is Killing Enterprise Group Policy

Microsoft has been quietly signaling a shift away from traditional Group Policy in Windows 11, and on June 11, 2026, the message is clear: Group Policy is being deprecated in favor of cloud-based device management via Microsoft Intune and Configuration Service Provider (CSP) settings. In this episode, Lucas and Luna drill into the specific numbers — over 60 percent of enterprise Windows devices are now managed by Intune — and the real-world case of a mid-sized financial services firm that migrated 5,000 endpoints from on-premises Group Policy to cloud policy in just under four months. They discuss the key differences: Group Policy applies at the domain level and is tied to Active Directory, while CSP settings are per-device and managed via cloud or on-premises MDM. The hosts break down why the shift matters for IT admins, what the 2027 end-of-life rumors mean, and how enterprises can start testing now with the Group Policy Analytics tool in Intune. Plus, a practical tip: Windows 11 includes a built-in Group Policy to CSP mapping tool that most admins don't know exists. #Windows11 #GroupPolicy #MicrosoftIntune #CSP #EnterpriseIT #DeviceManagement #CloudMigration #MDM #ActiveDirectory #WindowsPodcast #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Technology #ITAdmin #PolicyMigration #GroupPolicyAnalytics #WindowsManagement #CloudPolicy Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
