How to recover global admin access to tenant
I have already tried posting this to the general Microsoft Q&A forums and received no response. We are desperate to figure something out so if this is not the correct line of communication, please direct me to where I should go. My company is in a bit of a bind right now, and I am at my wit's end after almost a week of trying to get in contact with anyone who could help. We have multiple directories in Azure that belong to us, but they are all independent of each other. As such, some directories have multiple global admins (and thus are not an issue); others -- and quite frankly, the most important ones -- only have one global admin, and it was our DevOps person, who is no longer employed with us. We have no way of accessing his account, and thus no way of accessing a global admin account for these directories/tenants. Access to these directories is critical to our operations. We were informed last Friday by someone from the data protection team that they could not give us access to these tenants we pay thousands of dollars a month for because: Our former DevOps person registered all other users as guests/external users, and DPT "can't give external users admin permissions", and To reset the MFA of the current global admin account, the owner of the account (who no longer works for our company) would need to contact them and verify their identity What options do we have here? We have blobs full of user-uploaded files in these tenants. Starting over from scratch is a doomsday scenario we are trying everything we can to avoid. Surely there has to be something that can be done?
Problems with FSLogix 3.26 - W11 MU - 10 users per Vm
Scenario Overview We are documenting a recurring intermittent Denial of Service (DoS) regarding user profiles in an AVD multi-session environment using Azure Files Premium (SMB). The issue consistently surfaces after updating to the FSLogix 3.26 branch (v3.26.126.19110). Root Cause Analysis (Failure Logs) Through deep log analysis, we identified a "driver poisoning" pattern unique to version 3.26: SMB/Kerberos Handshake Sensitivity: Under varying storage response times (latency spikes of ~350ms vs. the usual ~40ms), version 3.26 triggers an intermittent 1326 error (Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password). Driver Execution Flow Corruption: Unlike previous versions, after this initial network/authentication glitch, the 3.26 driver fails to release execution threads or volume handles properly. Catastrophic Failure (Error 267): The system attempts to access the SecuredProfileRegData path within the mounted VHDX, but the driver returns Event ID 26: "0x10b - The directory name is invalid". Unrecoverable "Zombie" State: Once Error 267 occurs, the VM becomes "poisoned." It blocks all subsequent login attempts and even prevents a clean uninstallation of the agent (MSI Error 0x80070643 due to files being "in use"), necessitating a full VM reboot or redeployment. Has anyone else been through this? My first step was to go back to Agent Version 2506 (2210 Hotfix 4) Evidence of Success with Version 2506 (2210 Hotfix 4) After performing a clean deployment and reverting to version 3.25.626.21064, metrics from April 24, 2026, show absolute stability on the same infrastructure: Consistent Logon Times: Average profile load time of 1.6 seconds across multiple concurrent users Storage Efficiency: FindFile response times remained stable between 39ms and 45ms, with the agent successfully retrying any momentary delays. Error Resilience: Unlike v3.26, if this version encounters an authentication glitch (e.g., on a local service account), it bypasses the error and remains functional, allowing domain users to log in without collateral blockages. Concurrency Support: Seamlessly managed over 20 simultaneously mounted volumes without pointer collisions or kernel hangs.
Cost increases when selecting Amortised cost in cost analysis
Hi, this seems like a bug. When i select Amortized cost in Cost analysis, our monthly cost jumps from $25,664.54 to $76,315.83. The resource that causes the jump is a Reservation for a D4asv5 virtual machine. It jumps to $3,120.09 per day. Can someone please try it their side.
Conversion of epoch / unixtimestamps within Log Analytics
we re using a lot of epoch / unixtimestamps (seconds since 1970-1-1) in our solution and are wondering right now if there is the possibilty to convert those timestamps to datetime objects within loganalytics queries? Unfortunately we couldn't find anything in the documentation on that matter. Would be great if someone could point us in the right direction.

Artificial Intelligence for IT Operations (AIOps) has transformed how organizations monitor, manage, and optimize modern IT infrastructure. By combining machine learning, analytics, and automation, Traditional AIOps has helped IT teams reduce alert fatigue, identify anomalies faster, and improve operational efficiency. https://dellenny.com/agentic-aiops-vs-traditional-aiops-what-actually-changes-in-practice/How to Build Your First IT Support Agent Using Azure AI
Artificial Intelligence is transforming the way businesses provide IT support. Instead of waiting for a technician to answer every question, organizations are increasingly using AI-powered support agents that can troubleshoot common issues, answer employee questions, and automate repetitive tasks. Thanks to Microsoft Azure AI, building an intelligent IT support agent is no longer limited to data scientists or large enterprises. Even beginners can create a functional AI assistant with minimal coding. https://dellenny.com/how-to-build-your-first-it-support-agent-using-azure-ai/Dealing with Legacy Systems and Services in Cloud Computing

Legacy systems, although reliable and familiar, often become barriers to growth, agility, and digital transformation. As businesses increasingly adopt cloud computing to improve scalability, reduce operational costs, and enhance security, one major challenge remains how to deal with legacy systems and services without disrupting business operations. https://dellenny.com/dealing-with-legacy-systems-and-services-in-cloud-computing/
Azure App Service Environments Internal and External access
I am looking to deploy a internal Intranet site and an external internet site and i would like to try and use Azure Web Apps to do this. The intranet should only be accessible from internal networks however the public facing website will obviously need to be accessible from anywhere. At the moment it is looking like i would need to deploy an App Service Environment and host the intranet site in there but it would be nice if i could then create a separate app and host that from within the same ASE. I suspect i could do it if i put a web application gateway on the network with a public IP but i want to try and avoid that as it is additional management and overhead. How have others done this? Do you just host Web Apps using multiple app service plans?Azure App Service secure hostname
Hey Everyone, I see a new change in app service deployment related to the secure hostname. Is it now mandatory to have a secure hostname, because I don't see the option to toggle between the secure hostname and just the format for appservicename.azurewebsites.net ? I wasn't able to find any update notification to verify this change.Email Notification for failed Scheduled Pipleline runs on azure devops for Specific Env CD BUild

Admin‑On‑Behalf‑Of issue when purchasing subscription
Hello everyone! I want to reach out to you on the internet and ask if anyone has the same issue as we do when creating PAYG Azure subscriptions in a customer's tenant, in which we have delegated access via GDAP through PartnerCenter. It is a bit AI formatted question. When an Azure NCE subscription is created for a customer via an Indirect Provider portal, the CSP Admin Agent (foreign principal) is not automatically assigned Owner on the subscription. As a result: AOBO (Admin‑On‑Behalf‑Of) does not activate The subscription is invisible to the partner when accessing Azure via Partner Center service links The partner cannot manage and deploy to a subscription they just provided This breaks the expected delegated administration flow. Expected Behavior For CSP‑created Azure subscriptions: The CSP Admin Agent group should automatically receive Owner (or equivalent) on the subscription AOBO should work immediately, without customer involvement The partner should be able to see the subscription in Azure Portal and deploy resources Actual Behavior Observed For Azure NCE subscriptions created via an Indirect Provider: No RBAC assignment is created for the foreign AdminAgent group The subscription is visible only to users inside the customer tenant Partner Center role (Admin Agent foreign group) is present, but without Azure RBAC. Required Customer Workaround For each new Azure NCE subscription, the customer must: Sign in as Global Admin Use “Elevate access to manage all Azure subscriptions and management groups” Assign themselves Owner on the subscription Manually assign Owner to the partner’s foreign AdminAgent group Only after this does AOBO start working. Example Partner tries to access the subscription: https://portal.azure.com/#@customer.onmicrosoft.com/resource/subscriptions/<subscription-id>/overview But there is no subscription visible "None of the entries matched the given filter" https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/role-based-access-control/elevate-access-global-admin?tabs=azure-portal%2Centra-audit-logs#step-1-elevate-access-for-a-global-administrator from the customer's global admin. and manual RBAC fix in Cloud console: az role assignment create \ --assignee-object-id "<AdminAgent-Foreign-Group-ObjectId>" \ --role "Owner" \ --scope "/subscriptions/<subscription-id>" \ --assignee-principal-type "ForeignGroup" After this, AOBO works as expected for delegated administrators (foreign user accounts). Why This Is a Problem Partners sell Azure subscriptions that they cannot access Forces resources from customers to involvement from customers Breaks delegated administration principles For Indirect CSPs managing many tenants, this is a decent operational blocker. Key Question to Microsoft / Community Does anyone else struggle with this? Is this behavior by design for Azure NCE + Indirect CSP? Am I missing some point of view on why not to do it in the suggested way?Visual Studio Sign In Issues (Restricted IE)
Hi, Does anyone know how to get around the VS sign in issue when your organisation restrict the use of Internet Explorer for external sites? I get a blank screen as connection is blocked. Changing the default brower in VS doesnt seem to effect the sign page either. ThanksFree Extension: Generate AI Development Prompts from Azure DevOps Work Items — Verity Framework
Hi Azure DevOps community, I wanted to share a free extension we just published to the Visual Studio Marketplace: the Verity Framework ADO Extension. **What it does** It adds a "Verity Prompt" tab to your work items. When you populate five custom fields on a User Story or Delivery Item, the extension generates a structured prompt ready to paste into Claude Code, Cursor, or GitHub Copilot Workspace. The five fields: - VF Intent — the problem and who experiences it - VF Value — the expected outcome - VF Appetite — time/resource ceiling (not an estimate) - VF Trust Criteria — Gate 2 hardening requirements - VF Failure Scope — Narrow / Moderate / Broad / Systemic **Why it matters** Most engineers using AI tools start from a blank context or a vague task description. The extension carries the team's planning judgment — including production risk level and hardening requirements — directly into the implementation context. It also includes field validation that flags vague Trust Criteria, incorrectly formatted Appetite values, and solution-framed Intent statements before generating the prompt. **Setup** About 20 minutes. You add five custom fields to your existing User Story work item type (no new work item type required). Full instructions are in the extension tab. **Install** Search "Verity Framework" on the Visual Studio Marketplace or visit idearoost.com/verity for the full framework context. Free. No subscription required. Happy to answer questions about the field definitions or the setup process. — Jacques Steward, IdeaRoost
