Is system-preferred first factor overriding Single Sign-On?
My colleagues and I have noticed that we've started being prompted to perform a Windows Hello for Business authentication when we use Edge to access web resources that are authenticated with Entra. Previously, this authentication occurred silently through Single Sign-On with the PRT, per Understanding Primary Refresh Token (PRT) in Microsoft Entra ID - Microsoft Entra ID | Microsoft Learn. While investigating what might have caused this change in behavior, I found MC1411574 in the M365 Message Center, which talks about a change to system-preferred authentication that started rolling out in late June 2026, whereby it now applies to the first factor as well as multi-factor authentication. I excluded myself from system-preferred authentication and sure enough, that seems to have restored the previous behavior. Is it intended that this change to system-preferred authentication will disable SSO, or do we have something misconfigured?SolvedRyanSteele-CoVJul 17, 2026Steel Contributor89Views0likes3CommentsUsing Cloud sync to sync AD to existing Entra Accounts
I want to sync in premise AD accounts with existing Entra accounts. The email on both accounts is the same, and I added the Entra/o365 suffix to the domain and set the UPN to that suffix, making both UPN(s) the same. It did not sync. It created a NEW Entra account. I thought I covered all my bases. How can I get on premise AD and existing Entra accounts to sync? thank youSolvedtjcooper2Jul 09, 2026Copper Contributor97Views0likes5Commentspasskeys in the Authenticator app regarding attestation
I have a question about passkeys in the Authenticator app regarding attestation in connection with QR code-based cross-device sign-in. When we register a passkey with attestation enabled in the Authenticator app, it can be used to complete the sign-in process on another device via QR code and Bluetooth Low Energy. According to Microsoft’s documentation, this shouldn’t be possible with attestation enabled, yet it works. What are we misunderstanding here? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/authentication/how-to-enable-authenticator-passkey Thanks for your inputs.

Hi, we would like to enable Cloud Kerberos Trust on hybrid joined devices ( via Entra connect sync) In our local AD wie have 6 OUs and users and devices from each OU have a seperate SCP to differnt M365 Tenants. I found this Article to configure the Cloud Kerberos Trust . Set-AzureADKerberosServer 1 2 The Set-AzureADKerberosServer PowerShell cmdlet is used to configure a Microsoft Entra (formerly Azure AD) Kerberos server object. This enables seamless Single Sign-On (SSO) for on-premises resources using modern authentication methods like FIDO2 security keys or Windows Hello for Business. Steps to Configure the Kerberos Server 1. Prerequisites Ensure your environment meets the following: Devices must run Windows 10 version 2004 or later. Domain Controllers must run Windows Server 2016 or later. Install the AzureADHybridAuthenticationManagement module: [Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol -bor [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12 Install-Module -Name AzureADHybridAuthenticationManagement -AllowClobber 2. Create the Kerberos Server Object Run the following PowerShell commands to create and publish the Kerberos server object: Prompt for All Credentials: $domain = $env:USERDNSDOMAIN $cloudCred = Get-Credential -Message 'Enter Azure AD Hybrid Identity Administrator credentials' $domainCred = Get-Credential -Message 'Enter Domain Admin credentials' Set-AzureADKerberosServer -Domain $domain -CloudCredential $cloudCred -DomainCredential $domainCred As I understand the process, a object is created in local AD when running Set-AzureADKerberosServer What happens, if I run the command multiple times, for each OU/Tenant. Does this ovveride the object, or does it create a new objects?Solved451Views0likes3CommentsPriority between CIDR and FQDN rules in Microsoft Entra Private Access (GSA)
Hello Question about prioritization between CIDR and FQDN rules in Microsoft Entra Private Access (GSA) Question: Hello everyone, I have a question about how rules are prioritized in Microsoft Entra Private Access (Global Secure Access). In my environment, I configured the following: I created an Enterprise Application using a broad CIDR range (10.10.0.0/16) to represent the entire data center. Within the same environment, I created other Enterprise Applications using specific FQDNs ( app01.company.local, app02.company.local) with specific ports. All rules are in the same Forwarding Profile. I noticed that in the GSA client rules tab there is a “Priority” field, and apparently the rules are evaluated from top to bottom. My question is: When there is an overlap between a broad CIDR rule and a more specific FQDN-based rule, which one takes precedence? Is there some internal technical criterion (DNS resolution first, longest prefix match,), or is the evaluation purely based on the order displayed? Is there a risk that the CIDR rule will capture traffic before the FQDN rule and impact granular access control? I want to make sure my architecture is correct before expanding its use to production. Could someone clarify the actual technical behavior of this prioritization?SolvedKandrikFeb 28, 2026Tin Contributor206Views0likes3CommentsExtract telephoneNumber/businessPhones in Graph via PowerShell
Hi all, I am trying to extract the telephoneNumber from the businessPhones attribute in Entra via a PowerShell script. I call Get-MgUser, list the properties including businessPhones. No matter what I try I either get a System.String[] or a blank. I can extract all the extensionAttribute values using the dot operator, but no luck with telephoneNumber. After much searching and reading of the Learn documentation, I am rather stumped. Any guidance will be appreciated.

Hi, we work in a hybrid environment at the moment, and it has been discovered that if you are using classic AD and reset a user's password and leave the tick-box saying user must change password at next logon, the password reset works! But, if you were to select the tick-box with the intention to make the user change their password, the password does not get reset and the user never gets asked to reset their password? Also, if you try and reset the user's password on AAD, you get the following error message: Because we cannot force the user to reset their password by AD or AAD, we have to tell the user to do it themselves by the classic Ctrl-Alt-Del method or set their personal password for them over the phone. So, what my question is, is why can I not force the user to change their password from either AD or AAD?SolvedBrendon_HannahJan 11, 2026Copper Contributor580Views0likes2CommentsBreak-glass Account Prompted for Authenticator App Despite Exclusions
We have a break-glass account configured with two FIDO2 security keys as the only authentication method. The account is: Excluded from Microsoft Authenticator in Authentication Methods policy Also, the included target is a dynamic group that includes all users but the break glass account. Excluded from the MFA Registration Campaign Also, the included target is a dynamic group that includes all users but the break glass account. Excluded from all Conditional Access policies However, whenever we test the account, it still gets prompted to set up the Microsoft Authenticator app during sign-in. We can skip the setup, but ideally, the prompt should not appear for this account. How can we prevent the Authenticator setup prompt entirely for this break-glass account?Solved978Views1like4CommentsDo the Entra sync/connect apps ever successfully update themselves?
Last week I had to download and install version 2.5.79.0 of the Entra Connect Sync Agent app on our Entra Connect server because I discovered the installed version was 2.4.21.0 and that version reaches end of support on November 15. Today, I happened to check on the version of the Entra Private Network Connector app on the two servers where we have that installed, and both are running version 1.5.3925.0, which was the latest available version at the time I installed it back in March. That version was from July 2024, and there have been three new releases since then, two of which "may perform auto-update of your connector". One of those servers was a new install, but the other one was an upgrade of the installed version of the Azure Application Proxy client, and while I don't recall which version specifically was installed, I know it was quite out of date. I'm curious: Has anyone ever actually seen either the Entra Connect Sync Agent or Entra Private Network Connector successfully upgrade themselves automatically?SolvedRyanSteele-CoVOct 20, 2025Steel Contributor214Views1like1CommentCustomize Synchronization Rule in Entra Connect Sync
