    Hello, my name is James Burris. I have been in the computer industry since the days of Windows NT 3.5. I am familiar with all versions of Windows server and client. I am also well versed in Mac OS. I use both Windows and Mac OS daily. I have configured and supported networks from 5 PCs and users to networks spanning the US with over 3500 users and PCs and hundreds of servers. I use and support Sophos Intercept X and Sentinel One on a daily basis. I setup, manage and support Microsoft 365 environments for tenants of all sizes including Azure AD and Intune. I also manage and support Azure VM environments. I support spam and phishing in Microsoft 365 using Defender using policies and Exchange transport rules. I manage and support SonicWall, Sophos, Meraki, and Juniper security appliances. My last project included setting up Intune to deploy new laptops to a corporation in a hardware refresh making deployment hands free by shipping hardware directly to the users and letting Intune register the PC and deploy the apps for the business. I manage Azure Conditional access, only allowing company PCs connect to Microsoft 365 applications.
