A public record of my community contribution — technical articles, open-source scripts, downloadable toolkits, training, volunteer leadership and Microsoft educator recognition — kept separate from my professional client work. Every number on this page is computed from the site itself or linked to its public source.
Professional work (employer roles and client projects) is on the About page. This page lists only community and ecosystem contribution.
Everything I have shared for each Microsoft technology — articles, scripts, training, talks and toolkits — with the counts computed from the site itself.
Years only — this is a continuity record, not a publication log.

For user groups, conferences, community meetups and customer teams — in person in Cairo or online, in English or Arabic. Each session can be adjusted to your audience and time slot.
Most Autopilot failures look identical from the user's chair: a spinning Enrollment Status Page or a cryptic 0x8018 code. This session works backwards from the symptoms you actually see to the handful of root causes behind them — ESP tracking, enrollment restrictions, stale device records and identity — and shows the exact logs and registry keys that tell you which one you have.
Packaging is the easy part. This talk follows a Win32 app through the Intune Management Extension — download, install, detection — and explains why 'installed but not detected' (0x87D1041C) is the most common app failure, how 32-bit and 64-bit paths and user versus system context break detection rules, and how to test rules exactly the way the IME runs them.
A practical rollout plan for the Conditional Access policies every tenant should have — MFA for everyone, blocking legacy authentication, requiring compliant devices — using report-only mode, the What If tool, pilot groups and emergency-access accounts. We finish with the sign-in log clues (AADSTS53000, 53003, 50076) that explain blocks after enforcement.
How Intune and Defender for Endpoint share device identity, compliance signals and security policy — and what breaks when they disagree. Covers onboarding with Intune, devices that show 'Inactive', security settings management for devices Intune doesn't manage, and a safe audit-first rollout of attack surface reduction rules.
Why legitimate mail from your Microsoft 365 tenant lands in junk — or never arrives — and how to fix it for good. A hands-on walk through SPF, DKIM and DMARC for a custom domain, then message trace and the NDRs (5.4.1, 5.7.520, 5.7.57) that explain most 'email never arrived' tickets.
A guided lab for teams adopting Intune. Participants configure enrollment, build compliance and Conditional Access policies, deploy a Win32 app, configure update rings and BitLocker, enrol a Windows device with Autopilot and troubleshoot it with the real logs. Tailored to the audience: new Intune admins, Configuration Manager teams moving to co-management, or security teams.
Three consecutive terms of Microsoft educator recognition — continuity, not a one-off — alongside the Microsoft Certified Trainer programme.
Every guide ends with how to verify the fix.
