About

I’m an Irishman living in Sweden with dual citizenship. I have three wonderful sons, Christopher, Sebastian, and Benjamin, who I believe will be the next generation of computer enthusiasts.

I work as a Lead IT Analyst at Tetra Pak AB in Lund, Skane, focusing on Azure, Intune, and ConfigMgr. Born in Dublin, I spent my early childhood in Kitwe, Zambia, before moving back to Ireland. My passion for computers began in Africa and grew with my first Sinclair ZX81 in the early 1980s, leading me to learn programming on  Amstrad CPC Z80 based computers.

I’ve been honored as a Microsoft MVP every year since 2010 and now hold dual MVP titles in Security (Intune) and Windows (Windows 365).

    Sorry, don’t know how to get your help. I need your help to configure SCCM 2012 in my small production network – 1 parent with 3 forest (childs). Would be willing to $ for consultation or setup fees for sccm 2012. Setup is the problem even following your blog; Can manage ourselves but need setup. Can we talk about this please ?

    Hi Niall,

    Just to say thank you for being a life-saver! I’ve just been asked to… “investigate” SC (primarily CM) to replace and add on to our existing asset management suite. Your blogs have been WAY more helpful than the rather dry technical content available from Microsoft, and have enabled me to “knock up” a quick demo site of CM sitting in our live AD domain (not ideal but I haven’t extended the schema yet or anything). The screen shots were brilliant- I could skip the bits I thoguth maybe weren’t that important (such as creating well structured collections) and just get on with deploying relevant bits of software & distributing images.

    Anyway, there’s no way I could have got up and running as quickly without your how-to guides so many, many thanks again.

    P.S. Incidentally, I was surprised to see your PXE-E53 entry on your front page today as I was suffering exactly this error. Unfortunately it turned out to be a faulty Hyper-V test client, which I only realised after completely dismantling and re-installing my test CM server… c’est la vie.
