Blocking email in outlook mobile application via conditional access and Intune
Hello, all. We’re currently experiencing an issue where corporate email remains accessible in the Outlook mobile app on personally owned iOS devices, even after the device either falls out of compliance or undergoes an enterprise wipe. These devices are managed through Intune. Additionally, some users may have personal email accounts configured within the Outlook mobile app already. Below is the conditional access policy currently applied to mobile devices. Any assistance would be appreciated.
NPS Extension for azure MFA and multiple tenants?
Hi, is it possible to setup one NPS server with the Extension for Azure MFA to authenticate against multiple tenants? The onprem AD has azure ad connector for each domain and the users are in sync with there tenants. Its a RDS setup with one RD Gateway and one NPS server and multiple RD servers. I need email address removed for privacy reasons and email address removed for privacy reasons etc. to authenticate with MFA, but i can only get the users on the tenant thats linked in the NPS Extension for Azure MFA to work. I dont think its possible to setup more than one tenant in one NPS server (Extension for azure MFA). I get this error in the NPS log NPS Extension for Azure MFA: CID:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx : Access Rejected for user email address removed for privacy reasons with Azure MFA response: AccessDenied and message: Caller tenant:'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' does not have access permissions to do authentication for the user in tenant:'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx',,,xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx The ID in the Caller tenant and the user tenant in the error is correct, so something have to work? I cat find a way to allow the Caller tenant to access users in the user tenant.Does Rights Management Service currently support MFA claims from EAM?
We've been testing EAM (external authentication methods) for a few months now as we try to move our Duo configuration away from CA custom controls. I noticed today that when my Outlook (classic) client would not correctly authenticate to Rights Management Service to decrypt OME-protected emails from another org. It tries to open the message, fails to connect to RMS, and opens a copy of the email with the "click here to read the message" spiel. It then throws a "something is wrong with your account" warning in the Outlook client's top right corner. If I try to manually authenticate & let it redirect to Duo's EAM endpoint, it simply fails with an HTTP 400 error. When you close that error, it then presents another error of "No Network Connection. Please check your network settings and try again. [2603]". I can close/reopen Outlook and that warning message in the top right stays suppresses unless I attempt signing into RMS all over again. However.. If I do the same thing and instead use an alternate MFA method (MS Authenticator, for example), it signs in perfectly fine and will decrypt those OME-protected emails on the fly in the Outlook client, as expected. I verified that we excluded "aadrm.com" from SSL inspection and that we're not breaking certificate pinning. So all I can assume at the moment is that Rights Management Service isn't honoring MFA claims from EAM. Any experience/thoughts on this? Thanks in advance!

During one of the MS demo video, I saw a preview feature for Conditional Access Policy to require "Face Check". I have now enabled Entra Verified ID and also switched on Face Check. When I create a new CAP, I do not see the "Require Face Check" option under the Grant. How can I request to have this feature released to my tenant? Thanks!
Feature Request: DLP Controls for App Registrations Using Sites.Selected to Prevent PII/PHI Exposure
We’re using the Sites.Selected SharePoint API to restrict app access to specific sites, which is a great improvement over tenant-wide permissions. However, we’re increasingly concerned about the lack of native DLP enforcement at the app registration level—especially for AI-powered apps or integrations that may unintentionally access sensitive data. Does Microsoft offer any capability to safeguard against PII/PHI data transfer across the Graph API that can: Flag apps as restricted from accessing PII/PHI. Prevent apps from reading content labeled with sensitivity labels like “Confidential,” “PII,” or “PHI.” Enforce real-time inspection and blocking of Graph API calls that attempt to access sensitive data. Generate alerts and audit logs when apps approach or violate these boundaries. If not, are there plans to introduce these protections? Protection across all APIs is desirable, but currently our greatest concern are SharePoint APIs.
Token Protection Conditional access policy is blocking access to PowerShell Modules.
Hi Everyone, Recently we have started implementing Microsoft token protection via CAP. We have created the policy based on the Microsoft documentation: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/conditional-access/concept-token-protection Everything is working fine for regular users, but for our admin accounts that require access to Powershell modules, they get this error when trying to access: I've confirmed this is linked to the token protection policy and no other policy is causing this behavior. The policy is configured in the following way: My question here is: How can I keep our admin accounts included on this policy without affecting Powershell access? Thank you for your help.
Workplace Benefits Program (earlier meaning: home Use)
Hello, let me describe our current situation: Tenant A: our first tenant, should be decom. soon Tenant B: our new productive tenant On Tenant A we are able to use the Workplace Benefits Program. Unfortunatelly we have to decom this tenant. so we have created an new one, Tenant B. Enterprise Agreement was transfered well to the new, but one topic is missing, we couldn't transfer the existing workplace benefits from A to B. Perhaps someone here has been in the same situation and has found a solution? Thanks a lot. best regards, Markus
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.

AZURE AD Contacts problem
Heloo, I've been looking for an online solution and nothing works. I have a hybrid Active Directory on-premise and Azure AD system since 2021. Users created in Active directory on-premise deleted since 2021-2022 still appear in my Azure AD contacts, and when I synchronize the contacts from AzureAD with other applications, those users are also visible. The users no longer exist in AD, from there they are automatically deleted after 180 days anyway, I checked. They are no longer found in Azure AD, M365 Admin, the only place where they are still found is Azure AD contacts, it seems they are not in the GAL either because they do not appear in outlook. - I tried Online PowerShell - Get-User | Format-List DisplayName, UserPrincipalName, PrimarySmtpAddress , It only shows me active users - I tried Microsoft Graph , ditto, it only shows me active users. I don't know how to identify those users, and their number is increasing. Please help, some other Ideas?Identity, access, and agent governance—Microsoft Entra at Ignite 2025

Hello, I am migrating my organization from Microsoft Entra Connect Sync to Microsoft Entra Cloud Sync, from On-Premise AD to Microsoft Entra ID only. I divided the migration (change) into phases, created roles for all synchronized OUs separately, according to this tutorial (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/hybrid/cloud-sync/tutorial-pilot-aadc-aadccp), everything was going well until I discovered that if the users OU is synced with connect sync and the mail groups OU - with cloud sync, the cloud sync cannot perceive the changes coming from on-premise and, for example, cannot join a specific group to a user who is in one of the groups in on-premise AD. I have licensing groups that automatically assign the appropriate license to a user when they are in this group in Entra. Is there any solution that I can use to avoid or avoid all this? Or do I have to synchronize all OUs at once? Has anyone had a similar incident? Thanks, I will accept any advice.Add members to a dynamic sec-grp excluding users with a specific "serviceplanid" assigned license
Hello, I am trying to populate dynamically a security group that shoud contain all members with a specific attribut value and trying to filter the groupe membership based on a serviceplanId assigned to members (user.extensionAttribute9 -startsWith "83") -and (user.accountEnabled -eq True) -and (user.mail -ne null) -and (User.AssignedPlans -any (assignedPlan.servicePlanId -ne "818523f5-016b-4355-9be8-ed6944946ea7" -and assignedPlan.capabilityStatus -eq "Enabled")) How to exclude members with the ServicePlanId : "818523f5-016b-4355-9be8-ed6944946ea7" from the list of the groupe members ?
Creating SSO Application using Microsoft Graph
I'm attempting to create SSO applications using Microsoft Graph to migrate from ADFS. "Microsoft.Graph.Models.Application requestBody = new Microsoft.Graph.Models.Application { IdentifierUris = new List<string>() { appURL }, DisplayName = appName, Web = new Microsoft.Graph.Models.WebApplication { RedirectUris = new List<string> { appURL }, } }; retVal = await graphClient.Applications.PostAsync(requestBody);" My URI requires a trailing slash. When I try to use the trailing slash I get the error: "Application alias 'https://xxxx/aspx/xxxx/' value is invalid." I tried editing my realm to remove the trailing slash, and the redirect URI, e.g. https://xxxx/aspx/xxxx, but removing them causes sign-in issues. If I edit the the Identifier URI in the Entra ID portal, to add the trailing slash, I am able to sign in and use the application. Though it is a solution, I need to use the application to enter close to 240 applications total between all of our environments. Anyone run into this and have ideas I can try? Thanks.Windows Live Custom Domains causes Entra account lockout
Hi everyone, we have an on-prem AD connected with EntraConnect to EntraID since about 3 years. We only sync users and groups, no password hash or anything else. Since a few days 4 (out of about 250) users are constantly being locked out due to failed login attempts on an Application called "Windows Live Custom Domains". All 4 users are locked out not at the same time but within 30 min to an hour. This happens multiple times a day. As far as I was able to investigate Windows Live Custom Domains is a service no longer offered by MS or has been replaced with something else. How am I able to find out where this failed login attempts come from? If someone could point me in the right direction I would be very happy. Thanks Daniel
