(SeaPRwire) – Supported by its sponsors, m365con provided extensive Microsoft ecosystem knowledge and announced its return for 2026, featuring a new event specifically for the DACH region.
Stuttgart, Germany, March 19, 2026 — IT experts and stakeholders from the Microsoft community gathered at m365con to address practical difficulties in Azure, Microsoft 365, and corporate automation. A featured session, “Manual PowerShell vs. ScriptRunner: What Actually Breaks at Scale (and How to Fix It),” examined why conventional PowerShell methods often struggle as automation becomes essential to business operations.

Hosted by Reshmee Auckloo and Dmitrii Shitov, Senior Systems Engineer at ScriptRunner, the presentation investigated typical enterprise challenges, such as fragmented script management, lack of standardization, excessive permissions, insufficient audit logs, and a reliance on specific experts for automation.
“PowerShell is no longer optional. Many vital tasks lack a graphical interface and are only possible through scripting,” Shitov remarked. “However, unmanaged PowerShell introduces significant risks when businesses attempt to scale without proper governance, structure, or transparency.”
The talk emphasized that while PowerShell remains a fundamental tool, manual management often fails to satisfy corporate requirements for security, compliance, and delegation. As automation grows within Entra ID, Azure, and Microsoft 365, companies increasingly require platforms that offer centralized execution, secure credentials, and clear accountability.
ScriptRunner’s sponsorship facilitated this technical exploration, grounding the discussion in practical corporate experience. The session illustrated how structured automation tools can improve PowerShell by providing auditable reporting, controlled delegation, and self-service capabilities without replacing original scripts.
Sponsors Drive Community Success
Mirko Peters, the founder of m365con and m365.show, highlighted the vital role sponsors play in providing high-quality community content:
“Sponsors contribute much more than just financial support to events like m365con. They enable the delivery of professional technical insights and significant value to our participants. Achieving this level of expertise and professionalism would be impossible without dedicated partners like ScriptRunner.”
Future Outlook: m365con 2026
Following the success of this year’s event, m365con is set to return in 2026 with a broader agenda. This will include the launch of a dedicated German-language version at de.m365con.net to better serve the growing DACH Microsoft community.
