IT Support & Ops
Windows Server
Windows Server administration for Active Directory-aware estates, roles, updates, and ops hygiene.
We support Windows Server environments with a focus on stable roles, update strategy, and operational clarity—file/print, IIS, domain-joined workloads, and the admin practices that keep Group Policy and patching from becoming folklore. Useful for hybrid shops that also run Linux.
