How a Microsoft engagement works
A simple, predictable process from first call to ongoing support.
Assess
We review what you run today, your licenses, and how Microsoft fits your business.
Plan
You get a scope, timeline and written quote before any work starts.
Implement
Planned migration and configuration with training, in windows that limit disruption.
Support
Ongoing administration, security reviews and help desk for your team.
Why businesses choose CTEKS for Microsoft
Secure by default
Identity, MFA and conditional access are set up first for Microsoft, so access is controlled from day one.
Migration without the weekend panic
Planned cutovers, user training and a rollback plan keep staff working while Microsoft changes underneath them.
Licensing that fits
We match Microsoft licenses to what each person needs, so you do not overpay or leave gaps.
Kept healthy after go-live
Admin tasks, policy reviews and cost checks continue every month, with plain-English reporting.
A practical note on Microsoft
Windows 10 reached end of support in October 2025. Devices that cannot run Windows 11 should be replaced or isolated, because unsupported systems stop receiving security fixes.

Common questions
Can CTEKS manage our existing Microsoft 365 tenant?
Yes. We can take over administration, security settings, licensing and user management, starting with a review so we know what we are inheriting.
Can you migrate us from another Microsoft 365 tenant?
Yes. Tenant to tenant migrations are planned in phases covering mail, files, Teams, users and devices, with testing and a cutover plan to limit disruption.
Should we move our servers to Azure?
Not always. We compare Azure, on premises and hybrid options against your applications, budget and risk, then recommend what fits.
Do we still need Active Directory if we use Entra ID?
It depends. Some businesses can be cloud only, while others still need on premises Active Directory for servers or applications. We review your environment and advise.
Can you manage Microsoft Intune and Autopilot?
Yes. We can deploy and manage Intune and Windows Autopilot, including enrollment, compliance policies, app deployment and patching.
Can you help us implement MFA and Conditional Access?
Yes. We plan rollout by user group, set up policies, test them and train staff, then review them over time.
Can CTEKS manage Windows Server and Hyper-V?
Yes. This includes deployment, upgrades, patching, security hardening, backup, monitoring and ongoing support.
Can you help reduce Microsoft licensing costs?
Often, by right sizing licenses and removing unused ones. Pricing and eligibility are set by Microsoft, and we cannot promise a specific saving.
Do you support hybrid Microsoft environments?
Yes. We support environments that combine on premises servers, Active Directory, Microsoft 365 and Azure.
Can you secure Microsoft 365 against phishing and account takeover?
We can apply security hardening such as MFA, Conditional Access and email protections. No single control stops every attack, so we layer them and monitor.
Can you migrate file servers to SharePoint or OneDrive?
Yes, where it makes sense for your workflows. We plan structure and permissions first, then migrate in stages.
Can you manage Azure subscriptions and cloud costs?
Yes. We can manage Azure resources, security, monitoring and cost reviews as part of ongoing support.
Can you move us off an old Windows Server?
Yes. We inventory what the server does, migrate files, applications and sign-in to a current server or to cloud services, and retire the old machine with a tested fallback.
Who manages our Active Directory?
We can fully manage user accounts, groups, policies and sign-in security, or work alongside your internal team.
