Free Microsoft 365 Admin Training

Yahya Zakir Sait ran this free training for the people who manage Microsoft 365 day to day: IT administrators, and business owners who became the admin by default. The same session ran twice, on 21 May and 17 September 2025.

The training followed the admin's routine. User and device management covered adding and removing users, assigning licences and groups in the Microsoft 365 admin center, and bringing company laptops and phones under management with Microsoft Intune. Security and data protection covered multi-factor authentication and sign-in controls in Microsoft Entra, safer sharing settings for OneDrive and SharePoint, and where to check security recommendations. Each topic was shown live in the admin tools.

The takeaway for a Gulf business: turn on multi-factor authentication for every account, admins first, and keep a written offboarding step that blocks sign-in and reassigns the mailbox and files. Those two habits prevent the most common account incidents. The session ended with a quiz and a prize.
