Infrastructure, automation and the occasional application with its own ideas.
I’m Amandio Pereira. This is where I document problems I’ve worked through, the decisions behind the fixes, and what happened when theory met the live environment.
Five projects. The problems, the decisions and what held up in practice.
Infrastructure and endpoint modernisation across storage, Hyper-V, identity, Intune and operational handover.
What got interesting: introducing cloud-managed endpoints without breaking the local services and dependencies people still needed.
VMware hardware refresh and vSphere 7-to-8 upgrade.
The real work was sequencing migration, resilience and commercial decisions without turning one change into three risks at once.
A three-node Hyper-V cluster built from repurposed hardware during a datacentre transition.
Ordinary connectivity worked. WinRM, CIM, WMI and Hyper-V management did not. That narrowed the search considerably.
Investigating and automating a legacy desktop client deployment.
Eight manual steps, a reboot, elevated initialisation and user-specific configuration. The vendor installer was only the beginning.
Virtual printer deployment automation across hybrid and cloud-managed PCs.
The fix had to separate driver state, SYSTEM-context work and the printer connection that belonged to the signed-in user.
The conventional chronology, job titles and skills list already live elsewhere.
