Azure passowrd protection
We have a hybrid Azure infrastructure with an AD Connector installed on-prem and configured for PTA. We installed the password protection server and registered it with the Azure tenant, then deployed the DC agent on all domain controllers. Both the proxy and agents are operational. We published a few banned words to block in case anyone uses them. For testing, I changed my password to include one of the banned words. To my surprise, I was able to change the password. I checked the corresponding logon server, and the DC event viewer showed that the password was validated, but the banned word was in the password list that Azure set to enforce. Why is it not blocking the change?SolvedazuserDec 13, 2025Copper Contributor58Views0likes1CommentPAAS resource metrics using Azure Data Collection Rule to Log Analytics Workspace
Hi Team, I want to build a use case to pull the Azure PAAS resources metrics using azure DCR and push that data metrics to log analytics workspace which eventually will push the data to azure event hub through streaming and final destination as azure postgres to store all the resources metrics information in a centralized table and create KPIs and dashboard for the clients for better utilization of resources. I have not used diagnose setting enabling option since it has its cons like we need to manually enable each resources settings also we get limited information extracted from diagnose setting. But while implementing i saw multiple articles stating DCR is not used for pulling PAAS metrics its only compatible for VM metrics. Want to understand is it possible to use DCR for PAAS metrics? Thanks in advance for any inputs.Solvedzeenatparveen67Dec 12, 2025Copper Contributor100Views0likes2CommentsAzure File copy task v4 and later causes 403 error
I've configured a release pipeline in ADO which copies some files to a Storage Account. Using Azure File copy task version 6 consistently fails with a 403 error. RESPONSE Status: 403 This request is not authorized to perform this operation using this permission. After much wasted time checking IP restrictions, checking access and recreating service connections I tried using an earlier version of the task that some other pipelines which do the same thing were using. I found that using version 4 or later of the file copy task causes the issue. Setting the task version to 3 works. Are there any known issues around this?SolvedLouisTDec 10, 2025Copper Contributor62Views0likes1CommentHow to update the proxyAddresses of a Cloud-only Entra ID user
I currently have a client with an Entra ID user (not migrated from on-premises) that is cloud-based, but has proxyAddresses values assigned. Now, I want to update the proxyAddresses through the Graph Explorer and have used this link as a guide: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/2280046/entra-connect-sync-blocking-user-creation-due-to-h. Now this guide is suggesting you can use the BETA model and this URL format... https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/users/%USERGUID% It states you can use that URL to do both 'GET' and 'PATCH' queries - the PATCH query being the one that will change the settings. You have to put forth a body for the proxyAddresses property in the PATCH query, which represents all of the addresses you want the user to utilise as proxy addresses. Now the GET query works... The PATCH query does not... Screenshot provided: Now, regarding the error message, I have applied ALL possible permissions in the 'Modify Permissions' tab. It is still erroring, Now I cannot use Exchange Online PowerShell, as the user does not have a mailbox! Aside from potentially using a license for Exchange Online or provisioning a mailbox for the user, and making the necessary changes, would the only other option be to delete/recreate the user?Solved218Views0likes3CommentsAZ-900

I have a user that was assigned Visual Studio Subscriber a few years ago. We have an on-prem AD to assign the user to a Visual Studio licensing group that gets replicated to Entra ID so the system recognized that a license had been assigned and Azure DevOps shows the correct Visual Studio license (Visual Studio Enterprise subscription). After a few years the user no longer needs the Visual Studio license so the person was removed from the on-prem AD group which replicated the change to Entra ID. However, Azure DevOps still shows the user's access level as Visual Studio Enterprise subscription. I double-checked the Visual Studio license page and confirmed the user no longer has an assigned license. I changed the user's access level to Stakeholder manually but when the user logs back into Azure DevOps it changes back to Visual Studio Enterprise subscription. I completely removed the user from Azure DevOps (Remove from organization) and re-added them along with adding back all the original project permissions and assigning Stakeholder. Once the user logged in the access level changed to Visual Studio Enterprise subscription again (skipping the initial default Visual Studio Subscriber that a "new to DevOps" user would get). Is there something I am missing that will not allow me to set this person's access level back to Stakeholder?SolveddbensonAug 13, 2025Copper Contributor170Views0likes2CommentsTerraform export template on Azure Portal

Can I access "these" files "there", or are the filesystems completely separate? Or is there a CLI command to link the two? Thanks in advance for any insight you can provide.Solved___John_L_Jun 30, 2025Copper Contributor148Views0likes2CommentsAzure DevOps REST API - tag DeploymentGroups' target
Hello everyone, I am trying to setup a function in PowerShell to be able to set tags on specific targets of a deploymentgroup, and for that I am using this documentation page: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/azure/devops/distributedtask/targets/update?view=azure-devops-rest-7.0&tabs=HTTP#request-body I created the request body as described in the page like bellow: { "id": 541, "tags": [ "tag1-backendWithDb", "tag1-backendWithDb-active-node", "tag2-backendWithDb-database", "tag2-backendWithDb", "tag2-backendWithDb-active-node", "tag3-blazor", "tag3-blazor-active-node", "tag4-yarp", "tag4-yarp-active-node" ] } Than I do the following command : Invoke-RestMethod -Method Patch -Uri "$baseurl/distributedtask/deploymentgroups/$($DGid)/targets?api-version=6.0-preview.1" -Credential $cred -Body ($body | ConvertTo-Json) -ContentType 'Application/json' But then I get an error like this : Invoke-RestMethod: { "$id": "1", "innerException": null, "message": "Value cannot be null.\r\nParameter name: machinesToUpdate", "typeName": "System.ArgumentNullException, mscorlib", "typeKey": "ArgumentNullException", "errorCode": 0, "eventId": 0 } The problem is that the document is not specifying any parameter named 'machinesToUpdate'.
