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?
Passed Microsoft Applied Skills: Developing Agents in Microsoft Foundry
I recently completed the Microsoft Applied Skills: Get Started Developing Agents in Microsoft Foundry credential. It was a great hands-on experience with Azure AI Foundry, including deploying models, building AI agents, using Code Interpreter, and publishing an agent. If you're interested in Azure AI or Generative AI, these official Microsoft resources are a great place to start: š¹ Microsoft Copilot https://learn.microsoft.com/copilot?wt.mc_id=studentamb_530495 š¹ Azure AI Foundry https://azure.microsoft.com/products/ai-foundry?wt.mc_id=studentamb_530495 š¹ Azure for Students https://azure.microsoft.com/free/students?wt.mc_id=studentamb_530495 š¹ Azure Free Account https://azure.microsoft.com/free?wt.mc_id=studentamb_530495 š¹ Microsoft Learn ā Azure AI Training https://learn.microsoft.com/training/azure-ai/?wt.mc_id=studentamb_530495 A small request: I'm currently working toward the Microsoft Learn Student Ambassadors Community Influencer requirements. If any of these resources are relevant to you, I'd genuinely appreciate you taking a look. I hope you discover something useful for your own learning journey as well. Thank you, and happy learning!Deep Dive: Implementing Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) with Azure AI Search
Artificial Intelligence has changed the way businesses handle information, automate tasks, and interact with users. Large Language Models (LLMs) such as GPT-based systems can generate impressive responses, but they have one major limitation: they do not automatically know your private business data, internal documents, or the latest information. https://dellenny.com/deep-dive-implementing-retrieval-augmented-generation-rag-with-azure-ai-search/OneLake in Azure: The Data Lakehouse Revolution Changing the Future of Enterprise Data
Data has become the core asset of every modern organization. Companies today generate massive amounts of information from applications, customer interactions, IoT devices, business systems, and operational platforms. But the real challenge is no longer collecting data ā it is organizing, managing, securing, and turning that data into meaningful business value. https://dellenny.com/onelake-in-azure-the-data-lakehouse-revolution-changing-the-future-of-enterprise-data/
Is there no way to get better support for Azure - esp for SEV A tickets
We have had a sev A ticket open for over 5 days, and are incurring thousands in losses every day, and despite assurances from the Azure Support that it is being solved in hours and then having confirmations that it is solved, the issue is still not solved. I have asked numerous times to get our teams in touch with actual microsoft employees, not front end contractors, who is more like level 1 support, and just running messages between customer and back end team, and really are powerless to handle any suport issues themselves, and they are on complete mercy of "other teams" yet as a customer, apparantly we cant even get on a call with these other teams, and the poor front end contractors are getting the brunt of our pain. Absolutely are in the dark, as to what is actually happening in the back end, other than "trust me bro" we are working on it. No eta, no explanation.. hard to fathom how this can go on like thisIngesting Logs through Azure Private Link
Hi, We are currently using Azure Private Link within our environment and we are attempting to ingest logs into Log Analytics. When I reached out to Microsoft Support, it appears that the CCF connectors will not work using Private Link and the Azure Functions connectors are becoming depricated. Has anyone else run into this issue and what is the solution for getting logs into Sentinel through the Private Link, specifically API log sources? Did this require a custom app for each of these log sources or some sort of custom script that lives on an AMA host within the Private Link to ingest the logs? Any advice here would be greatly appeciated. Thank you,Cloud-Native vs. Hybrid for the 2026 Workplace
When to choose Cloud-Native vs. Hybrid for the 2026 Workplace? Hi everyone, I am starting a discussion on the foundational phase of one project. As a Computer Engineer, I believe the most critical decision we face in 2026 is determining exactly when to step to a Full Cloud model versus maintaining a Hybrid Infrastructure. In my view, the decision is not about cost, it is about resiliency, high availability and more avalability. I would like to exchange views with other engineers on these area: latency, edge requirements, integration and aglility. In your experience, what are the Tipps that makes you choose one over the other for a 2026 environment? I'm looking for technical architectural insights, not sales approaches.
Patterns for low-code Azure config state snapshot + recovery solution for resource groups
Iām looking for patterns that capture resource configuration changes over time and support best-effort recovery (redeployment) of resource config state. I understand that authoritative IaC (Bicep) would be the most mature option, however, I am wondering if anyone has ever implemented a solution similar to what I have described above. Ideally this would be a low-code, Azure native solution.
