Over the last few years, I've written a number of articles on MacOS, such as my article on perfecting DEP enrollments. Frequently, I've written articles based on things that I am working on. I've come to realize that many people...
The world of Windows 10 and Modern Management in Workspace ONE UEM can be a daunting one. I've done some decent writing around Windows 10 like my article on Lessons Learned. One of the areas that I don't see used...
Admittedly, we sometimes miss little features that vendors sneak into a random release. One of the ones that I missed is the new MacOS Hub CLI for Workspace ONE, which to be fair hasn't been covered all that much so...
The one article that every Windows 365 evangelist needs is building custom images. Arguably, its one of the most important aspects to your Windows 365 deployment. That Windows 365 custom image will set the tone for your entire user experience....
As I wrote about recently, Windows 365 has a deep set of capabilities. Anytime you manage a platform, you should be thinking about how can I extend/push the limit of the platform. The answer to that almost every time will...
So, to start things off: Yes, I do know that #1 Android exists and #2 I can do a little bit of Android when the starts align. This week in a fit of craziness, I engaged in an opium-hazed adventure...
Recently, I went through an exercise of tweaking ciphers for a few components in Workspace ONE. I realized that VMware hasn't done a great job documenting how to tweak SSL settings for some of their services. Today, we will cover...
Earlier this year, I wrote a very highly regarded article comparing Intune against Workspace ONE UEM which has gone on to be my top article ever. I'm proud to announce a 3-part series on evaluating Intune against Workspace ONE UEM...
In Part One of our series, we discussed the core functionality available in Windows on Intune against Workspace ONE. We are shifting our focus to a vital area: application management and deployment. Intune and Workspace ONE have drastically different viewpoints...

As I recently wrote in my widely popular article on evaluating Workspace ONE against Intune on MacOS, you can deliver effective MacOS management and design without JAMF. We all know that JAMF is the gold standard, but how can you...
SIEM/SysLog integrations are one of the most important things in defending Cyber Attacks today, which provides intelligence to large organizations. One of the few VMware products that is lacking in that area is WS1 Access. Over the last year or...
Last week, I covered an interesting yet real use-case for the Workspace ONE API with migrating devices to a different user. The great thing about APIs is they can solve a multitude of problems. This week, I wanted to cover...
Recently, we had a huge vulnerability in Outlook as mentioned here. You have a number of ways to address this like Cloud Policy Management, which I discussed here. Today, we're going to discuss how you can get near instant remediation...
The VMware Workspace ONE Unified Access Gateway (UAG) has continued to ramp up for VMware customers everywhere. We all need them now for our WS1 infrastructure whether its Horizon, VMware Tunnel, SEG, or Content Gateway. I've continued to see many...
Microsoft Teams Rooms are an area I have been working on quite a bit lately. Outside of the fact, that people have learned to embrace Microsoft Teams and its part in Office 365 eco-system. they are very challenging in how...
So, we have all seen the recent struggles with LastPass as discussed here. I am one of the last people to consider moving on from LastPass as I have run it at several companies including in the government space. Over...
A question that I get every now and then from people are how to health check or validate their environment. I get this question for a few reasons. (1) Their PSO engagement was a few years back and they struggled...
In the services industry, we sometimes run into "fun." One of these "fun" situations is when someone rolls out a platform. They may have used VMware Professional Services or attempted it on their own and something wasn't considered. I recently...
So, you are getting slammed by your nonsensical InfoSec department with their irrational fears? You spend some time doing some research and you're just so screwed! MacOS won't let you remove httpd? You can't block this or that? Who you...
Whether you call it AirWatch, Workspace ONE, or many various expletives, the journey of deploying things in VMware's UEM platform has been a tumultuous journey. We are going to briefly discuss the past, present, and future of deploying "things" in...
A little over a year ago, I wrote an introduction into Freestyle Orchestrator. With my upcoming session at EUC Day, "Conducting a UEM Symphony Powered by Freestyle Orchestrator" coming up on February 17th at 11 EST, I thought it was...
Recently, we learned that Mobile Jon, like a phoenix out of the ashes is returning to VMworld 2021 with a session coined: VDI Nerdfest 2021: Demos That Make Admins Drool. I will be teaming up with ITQ's Johan Van Amersfoort....
Every now and then the VMware UAG or Unified Access Gateway puts out something fun. This week, UAG 2209 is delivering some interesting new capabilities. The last time I covered some of these new features was for 2106 a year...
I have been writing about Freestyle Orchestrator workflows for a few years. First, I wrote about the introduction to FSO. Next, I went into some great real-world examples with Freestyle Orchestrator. (that honestly had a weak swing at DCU). My...

As a frequent mentor in the mobility/UEM world, I often get asked "how do I get to where you are?" or "how do I become better?" I suppose this introduces the whole nature vs. nurture concept in a way. My...
One of my top 5 worst weekends in my IT career was courtesy of SaaS Ops at AirWatch. When I worked for Wellington Management, we bought a dedicated SaaS environment and refused to migrate the database/settings/or anything really over to...
