Self-Motivation Book Coming Soon!

Dujon Walsham • 25 May 2019


The Self-Motivation book is now completed and is underway of being processed to be released soon!

I'm very excited about this project. This book will be a detailed look on my jounrery of coming into the IT industry from when I was 18. Alot of challenges and obstacles will all be detailed.

The aim of the book overall so that people can understand more my story and also to share knowledge and experiences so that everybody can learn from my greatest successes down to my mistakes.

When I first started you learn along the way through trial and error. There is never really a book, guide or anything on how to advance and build on your career from a young age. So I'm wanting to contribute so that not just only 18 year olds but for anybody to see the Self-Motivation I had to make it where I am today. The story overall shows the building of myself to how I got to the brand now known as "Walsham Solutions".

From job role experiences, exams, career development and personal obstacles to overcome all detailed which all contributes to the overall picture and story.

My motivation for the writing it? I look back alot on everything I've done and I feel it's a story worth sharing. Worth telling. So that anybody wanting to build on anything, start up anything can see or have an idea on what to expect and face along the way.

My objective is that it can hopefully inspire, help someone find their Self-Motivation within them to accomplish whatever their goal is in their career. Or to accomplish building an actual career.

When writing this book, I never had a motive or intention of trying to write a best seller, or anything driven towards selling a million copies. This is more about giving back in terms of the knowledge and wisdom I've learned along the way. So as long as it has been able to inspire someone then my mission is accomplished. Hence why I've decided to have the book Self-Published.

I really enjoyed writing this entire book I got to relieve some great and not so great stories but it all made me to what I am today.


Will be announcing the name of the book soon!

Modern Workplace Management: Build Endpoints Without SCCM Part 6

by D Walsham • 12 August 2021
All the parts of the series we went into great detail about how we analyse an end to end solution and how we would design a solution in which would allow us to build endpoints without SCCM being a dependency. Whilst we did this, there is another scenario which we have not touched on yet, which is the hybrid scenarios. In a perfect world ideally you would have your Azure Active Directory within the cloud, every machine meets the recommended requirements for Windows 10, everything is imported into Intune/Autopilot and everyone is happy. But we know this isn't realistic in all cases. Many organisations cannot just simply up and go from on-premise into the cloud therefore the checkpoint here is of course getting into hybrid solutions such as; Co-Management Between Intune and SCCM Hybrid AD with Azure AD and On-Premise AD syncing together These things can play a very interesting part in how you would tackle this if you envisage the next step in the blueprint is to be in a position in which you can build and manage endpoints soley within Intune. With this final part of the series we will go in-depth in how the common hybrid setups look like and how we go about moving into the next step of being able to manage and build devices without SCCM.

Modern Workplace Management: Build Endpoints without SCCM Part 5

by D Walsham • 29 July 2021
In continuation from the previous part where we had discussed how we create the "on site" piece of the solution, this was the part which would allow us to get our endpoints into a state in which they would essentially be ready to go through the Autopilot process. Which leaves our next piece of the puzzle, to begin the configuration of the actual backend side that resides within our Endpoint Management console. And you will see how everything ties up together to satisfy the full end to end process of getting an unknown (or known) device to proceed thorough the whole workflow to be finally managed by Intune without the aid of SCCM taking part in any of the prerequisites or preparation at hand.

In this part we are now going to look into the technical step by step points on how we put everything together. In the previous part we spoke about the structure of how we would asses whether a machine was actually ready to be built with Autopilot or not with a build checklist process which would step through all areas which would cover an endpoints eligibility. Now with everything planned out we finally want to step into making things reality by putting everything together.

Endpoint Manager: Find machines not in Autopilot

by D Walsham • 2 July 2021
When it comes to managing your endpoints in endpoint manager, one of the things you may be looking to do is to get all of your Intune registered machines to also be enrolled as Autopilot devices. Now we can of course just have the deployment profile deployed to all machines and then hit the "Convert targeted machines to autopilot" but this might not necessarily be feasible for every client. We may want to perform some due diligence first so we can at least understand what devices in Intune are not in Autopilot.
