AVD session host with Hybrid join
We have deployed a single and multi-session host on hybrid join. Single session host: Configured with local disk for user login and working fine for end users in Windows App. Multi-session host: Configured fslogix for multi user profile and Azure file share Configured with ADDS authentication and devices are hybrid joined. All the AVD outbound urls are whitelisted on the firewall . Both avd single and Multi-session using same vet. All the ntfs and share permissions assigned properly for avd users group and the group is in sync with Azure AD. Now when the avd end user trying to connect Multi-session host..the page is loading & connecting status for longer time , then fails to establish a avd connection. I believe all the outbound connections looks good and fslogix side as well.. Is there any other settings we need to look into it..kindly share you opinions..thanks
Intermittent Access Issue Between Azure Function App and Key Vault (Private Endpoint Enabled)
We have an Azure Function App configured to retrieve secrets from Azure Key Vault using Managed Identity, following the recommended pattern. Key details of our setup: The Function App is running on a Premium Plan and VNet-integrated. The Key Vault has Public Network Access disabled and uses a Private Endpoint. The Function App accesses Key Vault secrets through Key Vault references in application settings. We are intermittently observing issues where the Function App fails to access the Key Vault. Under the “Diagnose and Solve Problems” blade, the following error appears: [ResolveWorkitem] AccessToKeyVaultDenied error while retrieving Key Vault Secret Reference microsoft.KeyVault(SecretUri=*********************). Exception: KeyVaultResolver.Common.ReferenceResolverException: Exception of type 'KeyVaultResolver.Common...' Has anyone encountered this issue or found a reliable way to resolve intermittent connectivity/authentication failures between a Function App and a Key Vault over a private endpoint?
Can't setup MFA on Azure personal account
I'm unable to use the az cli with a personal account because of MFA requirements. I have a free trial of Azure which I'm using for some basic testing. I'd like to deploy some Bicep from az cli, when I do I get: AADSTS50076: Due to a configuration change made by your administrator, or because you moved to a new location, you must use multi-factor authentication to access 'subscription GUID'. The docs say to go to Per-user multifactor authentication and enable MFA. I did this, but I can't set it up. Trying to login to https://aka.ms/MFASetup gives: You can't sign in here with a personal account. Use your work or school account instead. My personal account is the only user on the tenant. There is no other account I can use and I'm prevented from setting up MFA on it.
Unable to access Azure Portal with my Microsoft Account
Hello, I would like to request assistance regarding an issue with my Microsoft Account. My Microsoft account email address removed for privacy reasons is currently unable to properly sign into Azure Portal (https://portal.azure.com/). Every time I log in, it keeps showing error messages related to tenant access, and I cannot perform any normal operation inside Azure. It does not allow me to proceed, create resources, or even navigate the portal pages. Since this account is the one I planned to use for my Power Platform / Developer environment setup, this issue is now blocking all further development work. Could you please help me check the tenant status of this account, and fix the access issue so that I can properly use Azure Portal again? Thank you very much for your assistance.

In the era of cloud transformation, data privacy and compliance have become top priorities for businesses worldwide. As companies migrate critical workloads to the cloud, they must ensure that their service providers handle sensitive information responsibly and meet regulatory requirements across jurisdictions. Microsoft Azure, one of the world’s most trusted cloud platforms, goes above and beyond to guarantee security, privacy, and compliance for every customer — from startups to global enterprises. Azure’s approach combines advanced security technologies, transparent governance, and a vast portfolio of compliance certifications, ensuring that data stays protected no matter where it resides. https://dellenny.com/how-microsoft-azure-ensures-data-privacy-and-global-compliance-secure-cloud-solutions/Identity in Azure Understanding Azure AD, Authentication, and Authorization
In today’s digital-first world, managing user identities and access securely is paramount. Microsoft Azure provides a robust platform for identity management through Azure Active Directory (Azure AD), helping organizations protect sensitive data while ensuring seamless user experiences. Understanding the differences between authentication and authorization in Azure, and how Azure AD facilitates them, is crucial for IT professionals, developers, and security experts alike. In this article, we will explore the fundamentals of identity in Azure, the role of Azure AD, and how authentication and authorization work together to secure cloud applications and resources. https://dellenny.com/identity-in-azure-understanding-azure-ad-authentication-and-authorization/Shared Responsibility Model in Azure Explained (with Real Examples)
In today’s cloud-first world, Microsoft Azure is one of the most popular cloud platforms used by organizations globally. While Azure provides a robust infrastructure and wide-ranging services, it is crucial for businesses to understand their responsibilities in maintaining security, compliance, and operational efficiency. This is where the Shared Responsibility Model in Azure comes into play. The Shared Responsibility Model defines the division of security and operational duties between the cloud provider (Azure) and the customer. Understanding this model ensures that organizations know which security measures are handled by Microsoft and which ones they need to manage themselves. https://dellenny.com/shared-responsibility-model-in-azure-explained-with-real-examples/Copilot and Viva Empowering Employee Engagement

Together, Copilot and Viva form a powerful synergy: transforming not only how work gets done but how employees connect, grow, and feel about their work. Their integration creates a more intelligent, people-centric experience—one that drives true employee engagement. https://dellenny.com/copilot-viva-empowering-employee-engagement-in-the-modern-workplace/How to Ask AI Meeting Assistants the Right Questions During Meetings
In today’s fast-paced hybrid work world, tools like Microsoft 365 Copilot (often simply “Copilot”) that sit inside your meeting platform are dramatically changing how we interact in meetings. But having access to a powerful AI helper doesn’t automatically mean you’ll get maximum value. Much of the benefit comes down to how you ask it questions. If you pose vague, unfocused prompts, the answers will reflect that. On the other hand, well-crafted questions can turn Copilot into your strategic co-pilot during meetings. In this post, we’ll walk you through why asking the right questions matters, what kinds of questions to ask during or after a meeting, and how to ask them effectively to improve clarity, decisions, alignment, and follow-up. https://dellenny.com/how-to-ask-ai-meeting-assistants-the-right-questions-during-meetings/Turn Conversations into Reports Instantly with Copilot in Microsoft Teams
In today’s fast-paced workplace, teams spend a lot of time in chats and meetings — but too often the valuable information shared there ends up buried in a scroll of history, or forgotten after the session ends. That’s why the ability to instantly turn conversations into structured reports is a game changer. With Microsoft 365 Copilot inside Microsoft Teams, you can shift from manually summarizing threads and meeting notes to having AI generate concise, actionable summaries and reports automatically. Here’s how this works, why it matters, and how you can make it work for your team https://dellenny.com/turn-conversations-into-reports-instantly-with-copilot-in-microsoft-teams/Azure Security Basics Network Security Groups, Firewalls, and Defender for Cloud

When you start using Microsoft Azure for deploying applications or managing cloud infrastructure, understanding how Azure organizes its resources is fundamental. Azure provides a structured hierarchy—Management Groups, Subscriptions, and Resource Groups—that helps you manage, secure, and govern your resources effectively. Think of it like this: your Azure environment is a large, well-organized digital enterprise. Management Groups are the corporate headquarters, Subscriptions are individual departments, and Resource Groups are teams within those departments working on specific projects. In this blog, we’ll explore in detail how each of these levels functions, how they relate to each other, and how you can use them to streamline governance, billing, and access management in Azure. https://dellenny.com/how-azure-organizes-resources-subscriptions-resource-groups-and-management-groups-explained/Global Infrastructure 101 Understanding Data Centers, Regions, and Availability Zones in Azure
