Issues with Microsoft Authenticator not popping up Approval message
We have recently implemented MFA with a conditional access policy. We turned off the ability to receive texts/calls and are forcing the Authenticator app. This is causing issues when users need to re set up the account in the Authenticator app. I have had multiple scenarios this week where the Microsoft Authenticator app has stopped displaying the approve/deny message. The end users try to fix the issue themselves and will remove their accounts from the app and try to reenroll by going to myapps.microsoft.com and restarting the setup process. The problem lies in that even though they are visiting the portal from devices that are excluded from MFA via conditional access (Compliant/Hybrid AD Joined) the myapps.microsoft.com portal is still enforcing MFA to log in. Since they have removed their account from the application they can not authenticate to the portal. There is no alternate method since Phone/Text are disabled. In order to get the end user back into the portal I have to go to the regular MFA Setup page, enable phone calls or texts, enable and enforce MFA on the end user, and they can finally get in to re-set up the account. All of this could be fixed with a one time bypass for cloud!Solved1MViews1like40CommentsList all users' last login date
Is it possible, using PowerShell, to list all AAD users' last login date (no matter how they logged in)? I have found a couple of scripts that check the last mailbox login, but that is not what we need, because we also want to list unlicensed users.700KViews1like66CommentsReport on users with MFA Enabled
We are not currently enforcing MFA for all users, but have sent out instructions to allow users to self-enroll in MFA (http://aka.ms/MFASetup). Looking at the status of users who I know have enabled MFA, it still shows Disabled for them in the Multi-Factor Authentication page (https://account.activedirectory.windowsazure.com/usermanagement/multifactorverification.aspx).Solved331KViews0likes37CommentsThe new Azure AD sign-in and “Keep me signed in” experiences rolling out now!
We're excited to announce that the general availability rollout of the new Azure AD sign-in and “Keep me signed in” experiences has started! These experiences should reach all users globally by the end of the week. Users who go to our sign-in page will start to see the new experiences by default, but a link allowing users to go back to the old experiences will be available until early December to give you some extra time to make the transition. We'd like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the delays we have had with these features and thank you all for your patience. When we released these experiences in preview, we received a lot of great feedback from you and it was pretty clear we needed to take a little extra time to ensure the new experiences worked well with all the scenarios Azure AD sign-in is used for. Read about it in the Enterprise Mobility & Security blog.299KViews2likes121CommentsADFS vs Azure AD for SSO
Hi there Bit of a newbie question but what is the difference between using Azure AD and ADFS as a SAML identity provider? We have on-premises AD and ADFS servers and a federation with Azure AD using AD Connect. We want to integrate with a SaaS app that is listed in the Azure AD application gallery but I can't find any definitive information that guides me whether it would be better to use Azure AD or ADFS as the identity provider. Any help would be appreciated. Regards NeilSolved271KViews0likes10CommentsMyapplications.microsoft.com and managing applications
We have begun testing the new Myapplications.microsoft.com site. One thing we have noticed is the inability to manage the users who have access to an enterprise application. In the older MyApps site, a delegated user listed within the self-service properties of an enterprise application, could manage and invite guest users (if they have been added to the Guest Inviter role) to their application. However, when trying to do the same thing on Myapplications.microsoft.com brings up the following message on the Permissions and Accounts tab: "This app does not have any accounts." Has anyone else experienced this issue? We currently have Azure AD P1.239KViews1like13CommentsPowershell CMDlets for MFA Settings?
Does anyone know if there are Powershell Cmdlets available to allow inspection of a user's MFA settings related to which verification options were configured and which option is considered primary? I am mostly focused on Office 365, but I think that this is an Azure AD question in general. Here's the use case that I am considering. We have a number of Office 365 users with MFA enabled. There was configuration guidance given at setup time, but not all users chose to follow that guidance. Specifically, many chose SMS notification, but our facility is notorious for poor cellular reception. Mobile app is preferred in this environment. In some cases, they deviated from the suggested method intentionally and, other times, unintentionally. This leads to support calls and it would be very useful for the support tech to know up front which methods are configured and which is the user's primary verification method. I've looked at the Azure AD module, but haven't found what I'm looking for yet. Thanks, Andy BaerstSolved236KViews4likes30CommentsAzure AD Connect - Dealing with incorrectly created users post-sync
We have a single domain in windows AD, not the same as our verified domain in Azure AD (through 365). If a user was not set up to use the "verified" suffix in their user principal name, Azure AD Connect will create a user with the traditional "onmicrosoft.com" UPN in azure. This makes sense, but I want to understand this better, because if this happens by mistake I do not currently know how to "delete" or "merge", or perhaps "change the sync target" for that unmatched account. In this scenario assume that the user did exist already in Azure AD with a proper verified "@company.com" UPN, but now they have an incorrect "new" account. What should be done in this situation? Currently I have successfully gone through the process of disabling the sync, deleting the new incorrect user in Azure AD, fixing the UPN in windows server AD, and then re-syncing. This seems like a nuclear approach for such a localized issue. Any guidance is appreciated.Solved176KViews0likes9CommentsAzure AD PowerShell v2 cmdlets not working, e.g. Get-AzureADPolicy

Hi, To try and make a long story short, I have 2 devices, Device 1 one belonged to me and Device 2 belonged to someone previously. I had taken Device 2 because the specs we're better and am giving Device 1 to a new-hire. My initial thought was to delete Device 1 and just re-add it to Azure AD under the new owner. After I had done that I came across an extremely simple PowerShell cmdlet that made adding a new owner and removing the old owner very fast and painless. I used this cmdlet to add me as the new owner of Device 2 but had already deleted Device 1. I'm now stuck trying to figure out how to get Device 1 back into AD and change the owner. How can I do this? Thanks167KViews1like12CommentsDevice Migration from On-prem AD to Azure AD
Hello All, We want to migrate our On-Prem AD devices to Azure AD and enroll into intune. We have Azure AD sync and all but needs to convert machine to Azure AD join only not Hybrid AD. So we would like to create new user profile on machine. We have used two methods so far. 1) Reset the machine and use join to Azure AD from OOBE. ( Issue - This will make user a Administrator for that machine and we dont want that ) 2) Unbind from on-prem AD, join to Azure AD manually but the same issue like number 1. 3) Using Hardware Hash, register devices to Autopilot and then reset all the machines. ( Issue - This will take too long to migrate 250 machines and helping remote workers are quite difficult ) Has anyone tried any different method or is there any expert suggestion ? Thanks!147KViews1like28CommentsSkip multi-factor authentication IP whitelist
Hello, We are currently testing out Azure MFA, but want to skip requests when the users is on our corporate network. I have the "Skip multi-factor authentication for requests from following range of IP address subnets", but notice it has a limit of 50 subnets. Well we have more than 50 subnets at multiple locations. We do not have ADFS in our environment and use password sync via ADConnect. I also have modern authentication enabled for Exchange Online. I've been searching, but could not really find a definitive answer on how we could go about skipping MFA requests when users are on our corporate network. Any help or guidance would be appreciated.145KViews0likes14CommentsDid I accidentally provision Apple Internet Accounts with my own Azure AD user account
I was adding my O365 email account to my iPhone (Exchange Active-Sync) when I was prompted with the request below. I blindly tapped Accept (yes really should have read the fine print) and realised I probably should have lingered there a bit longer. Sure enough in Azure AD user audit log is a Add app role assignment grant to user event followed by the following events from Apple Internet Accounts: Add app role assignment grant to user (my account now a member of Exchange Admin, Helpdesk admin, Service Support and a few others A Remove app role assignment from user event (not sure which one) Add a deletion-marked app role assignment grant to user as part of link removal I'm not even sure I want to provision Apple Internet Accounts in my tenant and certainly not with any of its services tied to my current account which was set up for me as global admin. (I am converting it to a regular account and setting up a separate admin account - see my other post on this matter: O365 / Azure AD - two accounts for admins v. PIM). Can I remove my user account from all those admin roles? Do I want to use Apple Internet Accounts even? I would think not?? as we don't provision devices (BYOD). Can I un provision Apple Internet Accounts for now? Can they make that sign in page look less like a phishing attempt lol?Solved141KViews1like11CommentsMigrating On Prem AD to Azure AD and doing away completely with On Prem AD
One of my customers is presently using Azure AD and they are syncing with their On Prem AD using Azure AD Connect. The authentication being used is PHS. Now, they would like to get rid of their On Prem AD completely and would like to know what are the implications in doing so and how users would be affected during the cutover. Since there is no straightforward migration option of On Prem AD to Azure AD completely, what options do i have here ? Will it help to setup an IaaS VM in Azure and promote it as a domain controller and sync it with On Prem Domain Controller? Or we can make use of Azure AD DS service. Any help on this would be appreciated135KViews0likes19CommentsLogin with a local user account on Azure AD joined Windows 10 machine
Hi all, I have a spare laptop here that I lend out to staff and visitors (if they need to present, etc). It's AAD joined, which is okay for staff. But for visitors, I would like to use a local account so they can't access resources, etc. Is it possible to log in with a local user account on an AAD joined Windows 10 machine? Or are there any other suggestions to handle this situation?Solved127KViews1like5CommentsWhat does disabling an Azure AD device actually do?
In a AAD only org, with Windows 10 Enterprise computers all Azure AD joined and managed by Intune, exactly what does "disabling" the device via the AAD Portal -->Devices-->Select a device-->Disable do? It seems to have absolutely no impact on our devices' abilities to continue to login to AAD, and access Office 365 apps/services, for example. Perhaps I naively assumed that disabling a device actually meant that it would be disabled in the sense that you couldn't login to your org via AAD login, or, even if you were, you wouldn't be able to do anything that required AAD - which in my mind includes Office 365. Am I mistaken? Thanks, Bob124KViews2likes6CommentsADSync Module
