Naveen P.
Microsoft 365 & Active Directory Engineer | Exchange Migration, MFA
Need your Microsoft 365 and Active Directory environment to just work? That's exactly what I build, fix, and maintain. I'm Naveen, a top-rated Plus systems engineer specializing in Windows Server, Active Directory, and Microsoft 365 (Office 365). I migrated 500+ users from Exchange 2016 to Microsoft 365 in a 72-hour cutover with zero email loss and restored Active Directory replication for 450+ users across 3 sites in 8 hours. ✱ Where I deliver results: ✔ Microsoft 365 & Exchange: Microsoft 365 / Office 365 administration, Exchange to Microsoft 365 migration, hybrid Exchange, tenant-to-tenant migration, Exchange Online and Exchange Server, mailbox and license management ✔ Identity & Security: Entra ID (Azure AD), MFA, Conditional Access, Microsoft Intune device management, security hardening, and access reviews ✔ Active Directory & Windows Server: domain controller deployment and recovery, AD replication (SYSVOL/DFSR), DNS, DHCP, Group Policy (GPO), FSMO roles, multi-site AD, Windows Server upgrades and migrations ✔ Email deliverability: SPF, DKIM, and DMARC setup so your business email lands in the inbox, not spam ✔ PowerShell automation: user onboarding and offboarding, bulk changes, scheduled AD and M365 reports. One onboarding script cut provisioning from 2 hours to 10 minutes. ✔ Infrastructure, backup & DR: VMware vSphere, Hyper-V, Veeam and Commvault backup validation, disaster recovery planning, firewalls and VPN (FortiGate, pfSense) ✔ Microsoft 365 Copilot & Teams: Copilot setup, Microsoft Teams, SharePoint Online, and OneDrive administration ✔ Remote IT support: troubleshooting and root cause analysis for on-premises and hosted environments, ticketing in ServiceNow, Jira, and Zendesk within SLA I work with SaaS, manufacturing, and professional services businesses, and I'm as comfortable with a one-time emergency fix or fixed-scope migration as I am with ongoing systems administration. ✱ Why clients hire me: - Top Rated Plus on Upwork, $200K+ earned - 4+ years as the sole technology consultant for Revalize LLC (USA), managing customer environments, deployments, and escalations - Previously a System Engineer at IFS and a System Administrator at Codegen International, supporting 500+ users - Migration, remediation, and administration projects delivered for 20+ organizations - Certified: MCSA Windows Server 2016 · Microsoft 365 Certified · Fortinet NSE 1 & 2 ✱ Tools I work in daily: Microsoft 365 · Exchange Online · Entra ID · Intune · Active Directory · Windows Server · PowerShell · Hyper-V · VMware · Veeam · FortiGate · Zabbix · Grafana · ServiceNow · AWS EC2 Something broken, slow, or overdue for migration?
