Microsoft Authenticator on Apple Watch
According to this article: Common questions about the Microsoft Authenticator app - Microsoft Support The Microsoft Authenticator app is being discontinued on Apple Watch. I find this very disappointing. I used it many times per day. Yes, it was a bit buggy and unreliable, but it sure was better than picking up my phone every time! Please keep supporting the Watch app!DJTentman84Dec 15, 2022Brass Contributor77KViews24likes41CommentsAdd filters/ grouping to microsoft authenticator app accounts
Hello! Hope you are all well! I would like to see filters of personal/ Work and school accounts or by domain. Or even the ability to organise accounts manually into groups. Currently have a long list of personal accounts and work account.LewisBennettFeb 06, 2023Copper Contributor8.1KViews7likes10CommentsMicrosoft Authenticator UserVoice or Suggestion/Feedback ??
Where does one go to submit a feature request for Microsoft Authenticator? At this point I have > 50 entries in the Authenticator and scrolling through the list to find something is painful and slow. What is sorely missing is a keyword search function to locate any MFA listing within your app. After you authenticate with your Face, Finger, or whatever...at the top of the window there should be a search field and this field should be a "CONTAINS" search. Hopefully someone that can take this back to the team at Microsoft is reading!Jim-Barry BeharApr 23, 2021Iron Contributor4.6KViews7likes5CommentsNew AAD Connect version available (1.1.443.0)
Fixed issues: Azure AD Connect sync Fixed an issue which causes Azure AD Connect wizard to fail if the display name of the Azure AD Connector does not contain the initial onmicrosoft.com domain assigned to the Azure AD tenant. Fixed an issue which causes Azure AD Connect wizard to fail while making connection to SQL database when the password of the Sync Service Account contains special characters such as apostrophe, colon and space. Fixed an issue which causes the error “The dimage has an anchor that is different than the image” to occur on an Azure AD Connect server in staging mode, after you have temporarily excluded an on-premises AD object from syncing and then included it again for syncing. Fixed an issue which causes the error “The object located by DN is a phantom” to occur on an Azure AD Connect server in staging mode, after you have temporarily excluded an on-premises AD object from syncing and then included it again for syncing. AD FS management Fixed an issue where Azure AD Connect wizard does not update AD FS configuration and set the right claims on the relying party trust after Alternate Login ID is configured. Fixed an issue where Azure AD Connect wizard is unable to correctly handle AD FS servers whose service accounts are configured using userPrincipalName format instead of sAMAccountName format.

If the returned value is true, it means that there is a scheduled synchronization cycle in progress.

Hi. I am testing MFA on some admin users. I have given the MFA admins a EMS licens so whitelisting of IPs is supported. So I have whitelisted our office IP, and when my admin go to https://outlook.office365.com, MFA is not active. Doing so outside the office will ask for MFA code so Im sure it works. But when the same admin starts a Azure powershell connection to https://outlook.office365.com/powershell-liveid/ it fails. When using an admin account without MFA it works fine.... I cant seem to find out what the difference is, can any tell me? My goal is to enable MFA for all global admins, but of course they will need to be able to connect to office 365 via powershell....SolvedJesper SteinOct 20, 2016Brass Contributor41KViews5likes21CommentsAuthenticating to O365 using Powershell and MFA
I am running into issues with autheticating to O365 on Powershell and in this case my account has been enabled with MFA. I already installed the preview from https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/enterprisemobility/2015/10/20/azure-ad-powershell-public-preview-of-support-for-azure-mfa-new-device-management-commands/ and the authentication basically works but then comes in the question on how to authenticate with Exchange Online? I found a post already where a MSFT engineer states that the only way here would be to create a dedicated admin account without MFA enabled but we strictly enabled MFA on admin accounts for security reasons. I noticed that there are no plans on uservoice (but some suggestions) to enable this. Has anyone already found another solution (except for creating another account without MFA)?SolvedMike PlatvoetAug 01, 2016Steel Contributor95KViews4likes25CommentsOffice 365 Admin Role Needed for MFA
I would like to assign members of the help desk access to manage MFA for non-admin users. I already assigned the Authentication admin role and this partially works. Right now the help desk can go into AAD, switch to Authentication methods and do everything that is needed there. However, as a Global Admin from the Microsoft 365 admin center I can see Users > Active Users > Multi-Factor Authentication and I can manage Manage multifactor authentication from the User itself. These options are not available for the help desk. Is there another role that I can use to grant access to the legacy MFA management portal?SolvedChrisP1975Feb 24, 2021Brass Contributor102KViews4likes22CommentsADFS Rapid Restore Tool

In case you have missed the news - Azure AD is now part of the "modern" Azure portal: https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/enterprisemobility/2016/09/12/the-azuread-admin-experience-in-the-new-azure-portal-is-now-in-public-preview/ Still misses some importing things though.754Views4likes0Comments
