Resource directory
A small reference shelf, grouped by the job it helps with. Links were fetched October 6, 2026. A successful fetch is not an endorsement, and access can change.
Use primary vendor docs for product behavior. Use practitioner sources to ask better questions. Keep customer names, logs and credentials out of public discussions.
Communities
- r/msp
Practitioner questions and conflicting experiences; useful for finding issues to investigate, not representative statistics.
RSS threads read. HTML redirects to login; access varies.
- The Tech Tribe
An MSP membership community with business resources; check current membership costs and fit before joining.
Commercial membership; no endorsement.
Peer groups
- ASCII
An MSP membership organization and peer network; useful when comparing community and vendor-program options.
Commercial membership; availability and terms vary.
- The MSP KB: peer-group directory
A starting list for comparing peer-group formats and providers, not a guarantee about any group.
Independent directory; follow provider links for current details.
Learning
- Ramblings of a Geek
Adam Hannemann’s practitioner videos on service management, client reviews and operating an MSP.
Public video titles and two caption transcripts fetched; opinion, not outcomes research.
- The MSP KB
A broad MSP reference covering operations, roles and AI; useful as an orientation map before specific vendor research.
Markdown index available; check factual claims against primary docs.
- Practical 365
Practitioner articles on Microsoft 365 administration; useful for worked explanations alongside vendor documentation.
Independent editorial site with commercial content.
- PeopleCert: ITIL
The certification provider’s catalog; useful for checking official service-management learning options.
Certification/training can cost money; not required to use our guides.
Vendor docs
- Microsoft 365 documentation
Primary reference for Microsoft 365 administration and product-specific behavior.
Verify the page for your product and current license.
- Microsoft Intune quality-update reports
Primary documentation for interpreting Windows quality-update reporting in Intune.
A report’s population and freshness matter; not a whole-estate compliance verdict.
- Conduit advanced workflows
Vendor recipes for reporting and triage across MSP systems; useful for inspecting workflow inputs and permission boundaries.
Commercial product documentation, not independent savings evidence.
- PowerShell documentation
Primary language and module documentation for understanding scripts before adapting them.
Test in an authorized environment; examples are not permission to run changes.
Frameworks
- NIST Cybersecurity Framework
An official framework reference for organizing cyber-risk conversations and outcomes.
Using a framework is not a certification or assurance of compliance.
- CIS Critical Security Controls
A control-framework starting point for defining assessment questions and technical review scope.
Confirm applicability and detailed implementation with the technical owner.
Tools
- CIPP documentation
Documentation for the Microsoft 365 administration tool; useful when checking supported operations and deployment assumptions.
An administration tool needs scoped access and a reviewed operating process.
- Microsoft 365 licensing diagrams
An independent visual comparison aid for Microsoft 365 features and licenses.
Helpful orientation; verify purchasing decisions against current Microsoft terms.
- Killer Tools
A community directory of admin scripts, Group Policy references and utilities. Use it to find candidates to inspect, then review provenance, license and every line before a lab test.
Unverified: our fetch returned only an application shell, so we have not reviewed its listings. Not tested or endorsed; never run downloaded scripts or import policies directly into production. See our script and GPO review guide.
How we curate this shelf
We fetched the linked pages or, for Reddit, accessible RSS thread content. We record redirects, HTTP failures and the date in the source log. We do not treat commercial claims as independent evidence. Resources blocked during research are not quietly described as verified.
