Challenges with custom data provided resource reviews
I was thrilled to see the ability to review disconnected applications in Entra, and even more thrilled to see that the permission and its description are available to the reviewer, which addresses a significant gap present in group-based reviews. However, the current decision-tracking approach does not adequately replicate the closed-loop remediation model typically found in traditional IGA access reviews for integrated applications. Requiring reviewers to upload confirmation that revocations have been completed is problematic. This approach does not mitigate the core risk: access may remain in place due to fulfillment errors or be incorrectly retained, and the reviewer may unknowingly validate an inaccurate state. This can lead to a compliance incident or audit finding. A more effective solution would allow reviewers to upload a current export of access data, enabling the review system to reconcile intended revocations against the actual state. Any discrepancies could then be flagged for remediation where revocations were missed or have failed, or for validation where access was revoked and immediately reinstated (e.g., due to reviewer misjudgement), ideally supported by corresponding ticketing or justification. There are currently a lot of gaps in Entra ID access reviews, and while this new feature arguably resolved the worst one, I think it's headed down the wrong path. I am curious about other people's thoughts.Entra ID Object Drift – Are We Measuring Tenant Health Correctly?
In many enterprise environments: Secure Score is green. Compliance dashboards look healthy. Yet directory object inconsistency silently accumulates. Stale devices. Hybrid join remnants. Intune orphan records. Over time, this becomes governance debt. In large tenants this often leads to inaccurate compliance reporting and Conditional Access targeting issues. I recently wrote a breakdown of: • Entra ID drift patterns • Hybrid join inconsistencies • Intune orphan objects • Lifecycle-based cleanup architecture Curious how others approach object hygiene at scale. Full article: https://www.modernendpoint.tech/entra-id-cleanup-patterns/?utm_source=techcommunity&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=entra_cleanup_launch&utm_content=discussion One pattern I keep seeing is duplicate device identities after re-enrollment or Autopilot reset. Curious how others handle lifecycle cleanup in large Entra ID environments.
Disabling PIN-based login on Entra-joined PCs
Hi guys. Yesterday I took two machines off the domain and Entra joined them. The goal was 1) remove their access to domain resources 2) have tenant users login to the machine and get enriched tokens every time. this works as desired. The problem is every user gets prompted to set a pin. these are both shared secondary/tertiary PC's - there is no point to having a 6 digit PIN on them. I thought the new Authentication Methods tools had controls for this, but apparently not. A script was run to change certain related Reg Keys (by my onsite tech) but this had no change on reboot. textreg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\PassportForWork" /v Enabled /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /freg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\PassportForWork" /v DisablePostLogonProvisioning /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\PassportForWork Enabled key was set to 0, and DisablePostLogonProvisioning was set to 1. These are from various help threads I found here and other resources. Unfortunately, they do not work. Not sure what to do here. I've read there are InTune controls for this - but I don't really have the time to work out WindowsPC ennrollment profiles for 2 machines. The site has InTune, but only for iOS mobile management. Thoughts?
Convert Hybrid Azure AD Join Device to Azure AD Join Only
Hi , We are in Hybrid state ( SCCM+ Intune =CoManaged ) and Hybrid Azure AD Join . Now as next step moving to cloud only , We are moving device from Hybrid to Azure only State . While testing Manually remove a device from AD domain post reboot noticed that not able to even login with Azure that means loose the complete state ( AD as well as Azure ) , Login with Local account found with DSREGCMD that device is not attached to any . If I just removed the AD domain why this has removed from Azure AD Join as well .What is best way to Remove domain join but keep Azure AD join , Loose Users settings as well. Thanks MSB
Federating Two Domains to Single Google Workspace Org — IssuerUri Conflict
Problem: I'm federating two custom domains (domainA.com and domainB.com) in the same Entra tenant to Google Workspace as the IdP using New-MgDomainFederationConfiguration. Cloud-only tenant, no on-premises AD. domainA.com works perfectly. When attempting to federate domainB.com, I get: 409 Conflict — Request_MultipleObjectsWithSameKeyValue Root cause: Both domains are in the same Google Workspace org. Google always sends the same IssuerUri in every SAML response regardless of which SAML app is used. Entra's global IssuerUri uniqueness constraint blocks the second domain. Workarounds attempted: Modified IssuerUri with unique query parameter — Google's SAML assertion still contains the original IssuerUri, Entra silently rejects it Second Google SAML app — Google sends identical IdP Entity ID regardless Google Legacy SSO profile with domain-specific issuer — only affects Google authentication, not Microsoft-initiated SAML flows Beta Graph API — same constraints MSOnline module — fails with Negotiate/forbidden error Questions: Is there any supported way to federate two domains in the same tenant to the same Google Workspace org? Is there a Graph API equivalent of the legacy -SupportMultipleDomain switch? domainB.com also returns "No matching stub found. Please reset the federation" on every update attempt — is this a known backend issue? We have a support ticket open for 21 days with no engineer response. Any help appreciated!
PIM
Hello, everyone. I need some help. We already use PIM for Just-in-Time activation of administrative functions in Entra ID, but we would like something more granular. For example, we want certain administrative actions in Microsoft 365, such as accessing sensitive data or performing critical tasks, to only be possible upon specific request and approval, even if the user has already activated the function in PIM. Is this only possible with PIM, or is there another feature in Microsoft 365 for this type of control?PIM
