Welcome to my new blog

Insights from a Senior IT Specialist in Norway

Hello and welcome to my IT blog! I'm excited to launch this space, finally, where I’ll share insights, how-tos, and practical advice gathered from years of hands-on experience in IT. Currently, I work as a Senior IT Specialist in a tech company in Norway, focusing on tools, policies, and solutions that help our businesses run smoothly and securely. I will probably also share some frustration on what others have made us implement (InfoSec policies) Whether you're an IT professional, a tech enthusiast, or just curious, I hope you find something useful here.

Why This Blog?

Technology is always evolving, and as IT professionals, we’re constantly adapting. Every day brings new challenges and opportunities, and I wanted a place to document and share what I've learned. In particular, I’ll cover topics I encounter often in my role, including:

• Configuring and Deploying Policies with Intune: I’ll walk through the best practices I use to set up, configure, and deploy policies through Intune. Whether you’re setting up device configurations, managing applications, or enforcing compliance policies, I’ll offer insights to streamline and strengthen your approach.

• Automating IT Tasks: Intune’s automation capabilities have the power to save hours of manual work. I’ll share how I’ve leveraged these features to deploy scripts, update settings, and maintain device compliance automatically, enhancing efficiency and accuracy within the IT environment.

• Integrating Security with Endpoint Privilege Management: Security is at the core of my work, and Intune makes it possible to manage access at a granular level with features like Endpoint Privilege Management (EPM). I’ll go over how to use EPM effectively, providing tips to secure devices and protect critical business resources.

• Navigating Entra ID Integration: Integrating Intune with Entra ID offers dynamic capabilities that make managing users and groups smoother. I’ll cover Entra ID integration, from managing dynamic groups to setting up conditional access policies that keep our devices and data secure.

• Staying Current with Intune News and Updates: Intune evolves rapidly, with new features and improvements rolling out regularly. I’ll keep you informed about the latest Intune updates, policy changes, and upcoming features, helping you stay on top of what’s new and how these changes might impact your device management strategy.

What’s Ahead?

I’ll keep it practical and straightforward. I will try my best to post at least once pr week. Whether I’m sharing tips on news from Intune, setting up conditional access policies in Entra ID, insights into device management, or some hard-learned lessons from deploying new technology, each post aims to give you actionable insights.
