I am happy to share that I have been awarded as Microsoft MVP for Intune and Windows 365 for year 2026-2027. I have been MVP since last 14 consecutive years and every time I get an email from Microsoft about my renewal, I am so happy about it.
Yesterday, my feeds on LinkedIn and X (Twitter) were filled with messages from colleagues congratulating me on the MVP award 🏅. I thanked them and extended my congratulations 🤝 to those who were renewed as MVPs, as I understand the hard work and dedication 🫡 it requires, and they truly earned it. The MVP program is built on values of authenticity, inclusivity, and a commitment to giving back.
If you’re working on Microsoft products such as Intune, Configuration Manager (SCCM), Windows 365, Windows 11, etc, you probably know me or you’ve have already visited my website once. Tools such as Google AI, Copilot, ChatGPT 🤖 recognize my site as the top resource for Intune and SCCM.
My site is all about sharing the knowledge and helping people with providing solutions that I learn from my work. I also run a community forum to discuss issues about managing devices, configuration issues, MDM updates and you may post your queries here to get answers.
To talk about the MVP program, it basically recognizes exceptional community leaders who demonstrate deep technical expertise in Microsoft technologies with a consistent track record of community contributions. All you need is passion for helping others through speaking, blogging, mentoring, open-source work, and more.
MVP Award email from Microsoft
On July 15th 2026, my inbox had an email from Microsoft that read “You’ve been accepted to the Microsoft MVP Program! Prajwal Desai“. We’re pleased to invite you to the Microsoft Most Valuable Professionals (MVP) program in recognition of your outstanding contributions to the community in the following technical area(s):
- Windows 365
- Microsoft Intune
Note that Windows 365 and Microsoft Intune are two different technology areas. MVPs are awarded in specific categories aligned with Microsoft’s technology areas. You can also gain MVP recognition for more than 2 different categories, but it takes a lot of hard work and dedication 💻.
What’s Next
This year, I plan to publish helpful guides on migrating from SCCM to Intune, discussing the challenges encountered during the process, troubleshooting Autopilot/Autopatch deployments, and updates for Intune, Windows 11, and SCCM upgrades and hotfixes. My site is already a leading resource for Intune, Autopilot, Windows 365, and Configuration Manager topics, and I aim to enhance it further. I am also committed to answering questions posted in forums and offering as much assistance as possible.
I must admit that last year I posted fewer video tutorials on my YouTube channel. This year, I plan to record and publish some useful video tutorials covering a lot about products that I work on a daily basis. If you haven’t subscribed to my channel yet, you should do so. You may also add my site as a preferred source to view my articles in your list. Lastly, I recommend following me on X (Twitter), Facebook and LinkedIn to get updates on my latest work and achievements 🎖️.
Final Thoughts
The MVP journey is not about chasing a title, it’s about making a difference. Albert Einstein said – Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value. The best part of being a MVP is you are part of an ecosystem that consists of technology experts. I really admire and respect the dedication and knowledge that individual MVP.
Remember that whether you’re helping someone debug a tricky issue, writing a tutorial that reaches thousands, or mentoring the next generation of tech leaders, your contributions matter. Consistency and persistence are that best tools for success 🏆. One gets you to your goal 🎯 while the other keeps you there.
