I’m Simon Hartmann Eriksen — Senior Endpoint Architect at Globeteam and Microsoft MVP in Intune. I design and run cloud-native endpoint platforms for organisations that have to make Intune work on Monday morning, not in a lab.
Twenty years in IT, starting in software packaging. For the last seven I’ve worked almost entirely on moving customers from traditional to modern management, with Intune as the primary tool — and more recently on Mac management, because the cross-platform question now comes up in every project. Fleets from small businesses up to 40.000+ clients.
Security isn’t a separate workstream in what I do. Defender for Endpoint is standard in my projects, Zero Trust principles shape the designs rather than decorate them, and I’ve built a fair number of Privileged Access Workstation setups in Intune for tiered environments.
This blog is where the parts worth keeping end up: the settings that matter, the ones that quietly break things, and the scripts I got tired of rewriting. Everything here has been through a real environment first.
Focus area
Windows endpoint management
Autopilot, cloud-native join, security baselines, Autopatch and ring-based rollout that survives contact with real users.
Mac management with Intune
Apple Business Manager, configuration profiles, Platform SSO and the parts of macOS management that don’t transfer from Windows.
Zero Trust and endpoint security
Compliance, Conditional Access and Defender for Endpoint working as one layered model — plus PAW for tiered admin.
Cloud desktops
Windows 365 Cloud PC and Azure Virtual Desktop, managed from the same platform as everything else.
