Complex problems. Clear solutions.

I’m Dayden, a working IT admin. I help small companies build Microsoft 365 and Intune environments that are secure, compliant, and actually maintainable. This is where I write down what really happens — what broke, what fixed it, and what I’d do differently.

AI is one tool in the kit. The judgment is mine.

The same work, in your tenant.

Admin Basics LLC is my consulting practice. I take on a small number of engagements for businesses that need Microsoft 365 set up properly, secured, and kept that way — without a big-agency price tag.
01

Microsoft 365 setup & cleanup

Tenant configuration, licensing sanity, email and device onboarding done in the right order.
02

Security & compliance baselines

Intune compliance, Conditional Access, Defender and ASR rolled out without breaking your users.
03

Ongoing admin support

A part-time admin who already knows your environment, for teams too small to hire one full time.
04

Automation & reporting

PowerShell and Graph scripts that take the boring, error-prone parts off your plate.
