About

My name is Helmer Zandbergen and I’m a Senior Consultant in the Modern Work area  working at Microsoft and based in the Netherlands.

I started my career back in 1997, and almost 10 years later I started blogging. In 2019 I stopped blogging, but in 2023 I’m back again.

Through this blog I’m trying to share the best Microsoft related stuff with you. My main areas of expertise are: Microsoft Intune, Windows 10 and 11, Microsoft Deployment Toolkit and Xbox . Besides the Microsoft related posts I could also share some Home Automation related stuff, but my main focus will be Microsoft.

On this blog I’m expressing solely my own personal views and not those of my employer.
