Modern Endpoint Management Portfolio
About Anup Moitra
From enterprise IT operations and technical support to Microsoft Intune, modern endpoint administration, and cloud-based workplace security.
I am Anup Moitra, with over 15 years of experience in enterprise IT support, Windows endpoint management, and IT operations. I hold the Microsoft 365 Certified: Endpoint Administrator Associate (Exam MD-102) certification, earned in 2026, along with Microsoft Certified: Azure Fundamentals (Exam AZ-900), earned in February 2025.
Career foundation
From enterprise support to modern endpoint administration
My earlier foundation in Linux, networking, and cybersecurity fundamentals supports my current direction, which is focused on Microsoft 365 endpoint administration and cloud-managed workplace security.
With over 15 years of experience in enterprise IT support and operations, I have worked across Windows endpoint troubleshooting, system operations, user support, onboarding, and service management. I have managed high-volume ticket queues in ServiceNow, maintained SLA compliance across 300 plus users, supported Microsoft 365 applications in production, and contributed to ISO 27001 and ISO 27701 audit readiness across multiple audit cycles.
This background gives me a grounded understanding of what real enterprise environments require: devices must be provisioned correctly, users need secure and reliable access, applications must deploy consistently, compliance must be enforced, and issues must be documented clearly for both operations teams and auditors.
Today I am applying that operational experience to modern Microsoft endpoint administration. My current work focuses on how organisations manage Windows and mobile devices using Microsoft Intune, Microsoft Entra ID, Windows Autopilot, Company Portal, endpoint security policies, and compliance-based Conditional Access.
Current focus
Technical areas I am building and documenting
My learning approach is practical: build the lab, validate the result, capture evidence, and document troubleshooting clearly.
Microsoft Intune Administration
Device enrollment, configuration profiles, application deployment, compliance policies, endpoint security, and monitoring through the Intune admin centre.
Microsoft Entra ID
Users, security groups, device identity, automatic MDM enrollment, and Conditional Access policy design.
Windows Autopilot
Corporate device provisioning using user-driven mode, Microsoft Entra join, Intune auto-enrollment, and post-enrollment application and policy validation.
Endpoint Security
Microsoft Defender Antivirus, Windows Firewall, BitLocker encryption, Attack Surface Reduction rules, and Windows Security Baselines.
BYOD Management
Windows BYOD enrollment, Android Enterprise personally owned work profile, Managed Google Play application deployment, and iOS/iPadOS enrollment preparation.
Lab Documentation
GitHub-based lab documentation with screenshots, troubleshooting notes, validation evidence, and clear step-by-step write-ups suitable for a professional portfolio.
Portfolio project
MD-102 Intune Virtual Company Lab
My main portfolio project is a public GitHub lab called MD-102 Intune Virtual Company Lab. The project simulates a small organisation named Contoso Startup Lab and documents the full endpoint management journey from initial Entra ID setup through to enforced Conditional Access.
Project goal: Demonstrate practical Microsoft Intune and endpoint administration skills through real configuration, validation, and documented troubleshooting, not just theory.
Labs documented and in progress
18 labs across identity, enrollment, apps, security, and compliance.

Documentation mindset
My approach to learning and documentation
I document real lab steps, not just theory. Each lab in my GitHub project includes actual configuration screenshots, policy validation evidence, and troubleshooting notes where things did not work as expected.
Build the configuration
Create real Intune, Entra ID, Autopilot, compliance, and security configurations in a lab environment.
Validate the result
Confirm policy deployment, device state, user experience, and access behaviour using screenshots and admin centre evidence.
Document troubleshooting
Capture what failed, why it failed, what changed, and how the issue was resolved.

My goal is to share practical Microsoft Intune and endpoint administration tutorials based on real lab work. I document hands-on configuration, troubleshooting, validation steps, and real-world lessons from Microsoft Intune, Microsoft Entra ID, Windows Autopilot, compliance policies, Conditional Access, and endpoint security.
