"40 years in Microsoft infrastructure" is easy to say. Here's the actual certification and training record behind it, straight from Microsoft Learn.
The credential Microsoft built specifically for device and endpoint management — Intune, Autopilot, compliance, and configuration profiles. Earned January 2020, current through January 2027.
Every engagement here includes hands-on admin training, delivered personally by an active MCT with 2,000+ hours of professional Microsoft technology training experience — not a generic handoff document, and not outsourced to someone else.
Currently valid Microsoft certifications, in the order they were earned:

Beyond the active certifications above, the Microsoft Learn record also includes 33 exams passed and 142 training modules completed (84+ hours) of continuous, self-directed learning — on top of, not instead of, 2,000+ hours of professional training delivered as an MCT.
What matters more than any single badge is that this is a continuously updated record — recertified and expanded as the platform moved from DOS and Novell networking, through on-premises Windows Server, to modern cloud and endpoint management.
Began working in IT on DOS systems, then moved into Windows as it launched, plus Novell and peer-to-peer networking — a decade of hands-on infrastructure experience before formal Microsoft certifications existed.
Certified on Windows NT 4.0 Server and Workstation and Networking Essentials — the start of formal Microsoft infrastructure credentials, and the same year Microsoft Certified Trainer status began.
Systems Engineer and Systems Administrator credentials across Windows 2000 and Server 2003, plus Exchange 2000 and ISA Server — the on-premises infrastructure backbone most modern cloud tools eventually replaced.
Hands-on with Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM) and Systems Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) — the direct predecessors to Intune's approach to monitoring and managing fleets of devices from a central console.
Certified on Azure Fundamentals, Microsoft 365 Fundamentals, and Azure Administrator, alongside completing Microsoft's own device management training — including the "Manage devices by using Microsoft Intune" module, the same year Intune itself started becoming a mainstream small-business tool.
Earned Microsoft 365 Certified: Endpoint Administrator Associate and Administrator Expert — the credentials built specifically for Intune and modern device management — plus Azure Solutions Architect Expert the same year.
Certified on configuring and operating Azure Virtual Desktop — remote desktop delivery across Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android endpoints.
Security, Compliance, and Identity Fundamentals, Security Operations Analyst, and Microsoft Cybersecurity Architect — keeping pace with the security side of endpoint management, not just the device-configuration side.
Microsoft retires certification programs as the platform evolves — these are no longer active but represent the foundation everything above was built on: Microsoft Certified Professional (1997), Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer: Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000, Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator: Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003, and Messaging, and Microsoft Certified: Cybersecurity Architect Expert (2024).
