About

Harm
Veenstra

I started working at 18, from a ServiceDesk employee to a workspace and system engineer at a large insurance firm in the Netherlands. 1996, those were the days! After working there for almost 11 years, I held various system engineer positions and gained extensive knowledge of Citrix, Cisco, VMware, storage, and Microsoft. Currently, I’m employed at InSpark (https://www.inspark.nl/) as a Consultant with a focus on Identity, Modern Workplace, and anything Microsoft, basically 😉

And… I became a Microsoft MVP in March 2024 for PowerShell and remain one in 2025.

You can also find me on the Microsoft Tech Community, where I was named “Member of the week” in January 2022. 😀 Since then, I have made many more posts in the Intune and PowerShell forums. Helping people out is always good, and I’m learning from the experience.

Experience

  • After 27 years of working in IT, my main focus is on Microsoft. (And yes, that’s a large area.). My interests are mainly Microsoft Intune, Microsoft 365, and PowerShell.
