Endpoint management

Endpoint Governance

A documented cleanup and investigation process for stale records, inconsistent device states, compliance, encryption, and hardware readiness.

Overview

This work improved the reliability of endpoint records by combining stale-device cleanup with compliance investigation and validation of the state that remained.

Environment

Microsoft Intune and Microsoft Entra ID device records, Windows compliance state, BitLocker state, and hardware-readiness information.

Objective

Reconcile inconsistent device states and remove stale records through a controlled process that preserved evidence for review and closure.

Responsibilities

Investigated compliance issues, reconciled records, validated BitLocker and hardware readiness, and produced before-and-after evidence for the change process.

Implementation

  • Identified and cleaned up stale device records.
  • Investigated compliance state instead of relying on a single portal value.
  • Reconciled inconsistent device information.
  • Validated BitLocker and hardware readiness before closure.

Validation

Before-and-after evidence documented the targeted records, resulting state, encryption status, and hardware readiness used for approval and closure.

Outcome

Device state became easier to assess, and the cleanup closed with documented evidence rather than an unaudited deletion pass.
