Disable Windows Hello AND Remove Existing PIN
Previously, after setting up Windows for an Azure AD user, it would give me a prompt saying that my organization requires a PIN for Windows Hello. I would hit next, then close the dialog asking for the PIN, and it would say there was an error or something, I'd hit OK and I'd be in Windows with no further Windows Hello harassment until I restarted. Once I got the device enrolled in Intune, it would apply the policy I have a policy that disables Windows Hello. However, a recent update to Windows seems to have made it impossible to bypass setting up a PIN. Because I can't enroll the device in Intune during the Windows Setup, the disable policy doesn't apply until after the PIN is established on the account. Once the PIN is set up on a Windows Account, it is not removed when Windows Hello is disabled via Intune/GPO, and it is seemingly impossible to remove manually. The only lead I've been able to find is to delete this folder: C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local\Microsoft\NGC\. However, Windows simply is not letting that happen, even after taking full ownership of the folder as a local admin. My only workaround is to first setup the device authenticating with my own account which will have the PIN. Then enroll in Intune with the user's account to their policies applied and Hello disabled. Then create the local admin account. Then add the users account. Then log into the local admin account and delete my account. Finally, log into the users account to create shortcuts and do QA. We use Bitlocker with a PIN that effectively does the same thing as Windows Hello with a PIN, except it also encrypts the disk. So I really don't see what it brings to the table besides a redundant password for users to memorize and extra help desk work when they forget it? How do I get devices configured without adding a bunch of work to get around Windows Hello?possible to prevent users from selecting security groups?
We have some AD synced and cloud only security groups with large memberships (think 'all employees', 'all contractors' etc) that are used for various administrative purposes. Is it possible to hide those groups or prevent users from selecting them to 'secure' their objects such as SharePoint sites and Power Apps?
Assistance Required: MFA Options for User without Microsoft Authenticator
Hello! I am currently assisting a user who is using an older phone that does not support Microsoft Authenticator. I am seeking guidance on whether there is a possibility to implement email-based multi-factor authentication (MFA) for this user, considering they have an Exchange Online Plan 1 license and do not have access to Azure AD Premium P1 or P2. Despite my efforts, the user continues to receive a prompt to set up Authenticator upon login. Thank you for your assistance. Best regards, MarcoSign-in Frequency Policy for Office / FLW's
Hi All I hope you are well. Anyway, I'm a bit confused with the Conditional Access Sign-in Frequency Session Control and MFA. Info here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/authentication/concepts-azure-multi-factor-authentication-prompts-session-lifetime#recommended-settings So, what would be a good recommendation for: Office staff (M365 E3 license) Front Line Worker's (F3 license) And am I correct in saying that this includes MFA and that the default MFA period is 90 days Any help or advice on a good workable setting would be greatly appreciated.

GSA - Web content filtering - Custom blocked page
Hello everyone, I have a quick question. I just tested the 'Web Content Filtering' of Global Secure Access. However, in Microsoft's documentation, two processes are mentioned for displaying blocked sites (related to HTTP and HTTPS). I wanted to know if it is possible to create a custom page (for example, adding the company logo, indicating the reason for blocking such as the associated web category, etc.). I tried to search, but no documentation related to this is available (or at least I couldn't find it). Thanks in advance for the help!

Access Package Approval automation with our Servicedesk ticketing tool
Hi Team, I am trying to automate all the access package approvals to be logged in our Service desk ticketing tool. Example: When a user requests access, once an approval request triggers from Microsoft it should also log a ticket in our ticketing tool. If the request got approved, the ticket should log this information & automatically gets closed. Our ticketing tool dev team is working on it however, they are stuck in the middle & looking to extract the necessary webhook information required for triggering actions from the Azure solution. Any input or guidance regarding webhook information supported by the Azure solution would be greatly appreciated and would assist us in progressing with the discussed requirements accordingly. Looking forward for your help to achieve this. Thanks, Garima
How to Recover a Global admin account without MFA
Hi Community I have created a Global admin account in a tenant, unfortunately I had to reset my mobile device, and the MFA codes / setup are gone. I know the password for the account though, without being able to access MFA, I'm not able to login anymore. I have no other admin accounts / Privileged accounts setup. Is there any way to recover from this situation?"sign-in frequency" every time not working as expected and described.
We have several PIM managed groups in an Entra ID tenant. Members are added as eligible. For the activation of the memberships an Authentication Context is created which is linked to a conditional access policy. The conditional access policy requires MFA with phishing resistant authentication factors, and "sign in frequency" is set to "every time". When activating membership authentication is required. When activating membership to another group (>5min in between activations) one would expect to request an authentication prompt, as described in Microsoft documentation. In Firefox this works as expected, In Edge and Chrome there is no re-authentication required every time, and sometimes even not for the first activation, not even in an in-private session. The device is not joined to this tenant, and the account used to log on is different from the one used to logon to the Entra ID portal. This is a test tenant with only those CA rules configured, no other policies or rules are in place. Anyone experiencing the same, or knowing the cause?
