Testing & validation: Carry out functional, performance, printing, peripheral and Microsoft Teams optimisation (HDX / multimedia redirection) testing; record results and defects. Troubleshooting: Resolve migration issues — VDA registration, logon and profile problems, application compatibility, StoreFront / Workspace access,



network latency — and escalate design gaps to the architect. Automation: Write and maintain PowerShell scripts to automate bulk build, assignment, validation and reporting tasks.
