Project details

Are you seeing the number of stale and noncompliant devices increasing in your Azure AD tenant? This is because every time someone signs into your tenant, their personal device is registered in Azure AD, which remains long after they are gone. This list also contains corporate devices that have been retired and are still Azure AD joined. This could pose a potential security risk for your company, and these devices should be removed from your tenant.

The act of removing these devices manually can become cumbersome once there are a few hundred devices. It can also be error-prone and result in deleting the wrong devices, potentially locking users out of their corporate devices or worse.

The PowerShell script I have created makes cleaning up these devices a breeze. It has been tested and successfully used on various tenants already. It is well documented and will become available for your IT team going forward.

We'll first decide on what the cutoff date will be for the last activity of devices. I'll then generate and share a report of all the devices that this cleanup will impact. After you review and approve the list, I will disable and finally delete the devices.

Setup IT Network and Security Christian was excellent to work with. He understood exactly what I was looking for and provided solutions based on a discovery which was very professional. I would highly recommend Christian to help with your IT network and security especially for small to large business owners who are looking to implement a zero trust methodology.

Pembroke Pines, United States - 3:12 pm local time
A visionary and strategic Cloud Solutions Architect with an extensive background with various Microsoft cloud technologies and driving the overall vision, architecture, execution, and delivery strategy for mission-critical systems and platforms. I am adept at partnering with key stakeholders to identify process improvement and structuring implementation procedures to resolve tricky business and technical challenges.

I'm a certified Azure Architect with over 17 years of experience in the medical and transportation, and logistics fields within Fortune 500 companies and startups. This experience includes architecting and implementing device management solutions to manage Windows 10 devices using the modern, cloud-based solution Microsoft Endpoint Manager (Intune). I've also architected cloud-based system integration solutions using the latest integrated-Platform-as-a-Service (iPaaS) technologies from Azure.

I have extensive experience onboarding organizations looking to leverage Intune for the management of corporate and personal devices. Areas of expertise include:

-Deep knowledge of the critical configurations required in Azure Active Directory and Intune to support device enrollment during provisioning

-Configuration to support Windows Autopilot when provisioning devices from vendors

-Experience with installation and management of Microsoft 365 apps and the software security profiles required to implement a robust data loss prevention strategy

-Knowledge of the Microsoft-recommended Windows 10 configuration settings to ensure an Enterprise-grade device for the organization. These settings are based on the Security Baseline profile provided by Intune

-Utilization of Compliance Policy Profiles to check the security health of devices by ensuring specific settings and software are enabled. Standard settings require Bitlocker, secure boot, code integrity, antivirus, antispyware, Microsoft Defender, and real-time protection to be enabled. Configuration of Actions to revoke access to corporate systems for non-compliant devices.

-Leverage Windows 10 Update Ring Profiles to ensure devices get the latest security updates and features quickly without interruption to user productivity

I also have extensive experience with Azure integration solutions based on modern REST-based microservices and API architectures. My architected solutions have leveraged event-based architectures that take advantage of messaging strategies and patterns, such as establishing an Enterprise Service Bus and API gateway. I have participated in various ERP migration projects looking to leverage Azure integration Platform-as-a-Service solutions as the middleware.

For any modern cloud architecture to be successful, it must consider how DevOps principles and automation factor into the design. I have extensive experience in leveraging DevOps best practices and infrastructure-as-code tools to automate Azure components' deployment and configuration. I've also worked with open-source DevOps tools like Hashicorp's Terraform to deploy Azure infrastructure and have expert-level experience with Windows PowerShell.
