Hey there, In the last few weeks, we encountered issues with clients (Entra Hybrid Joined) losing their Intune connection after setting an incorrect group policy. Although the group policy change was quickly reverted, about 10 clients were removed from Intune. I attempted to re-enroll these clients using various methods (MEMC Co-management, GPO, Scheduled Task, and even using psexec to directly start auto-enrollment), but the enrollment process consistently failed with the following error under Microsoft-Windows-DeviceManagement-Enterprise-Diagnostics-Provider\Enrollment: Auto MDM Enroll: Device Credential (0x1), Failed (Bad request (400).) and/or following in CoManagementHandler.log Failed to get management URL with error 0x80070002 Eventually, I discovered a registry key that was not present on the working clients: Path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Enrollments Value: MmpcEnrollmentFlag Data: 0x00000002 After deleting this key and restarting the enrollment, everything worked immediately. I am curious about how and why this registry key is created and what its function is. Looking forward to your input.Solved33KViews7likes3CommentsPasswordless Authentication with FIDO2 Security Key for Remote Desktop Connection
Passwordless Authentication with FIDO2 Security Key for Remote Desktop Connection Hello Everyone, in this blog, we will explore how to use a FIDO2 security key to access a device using Remote Desktop Connection (RDP)—a Zero Trust approach where passwordless authentication is enforced. Recently, a customer asked me whether they could secure their device and enforce passwordless authentication for RDP access. While some FIDO2 security keys can also be used as smart cards with Certificate-Based Authentication (CBA), I will cover that topic in my next blog. In this post, let's focus on how we can use Windows 10/11, the RDPAAD (Remote Desktop Protocol Azure AD Protocol), and WebAuthn to connect to Entra ID-joined or Hybrid-joined devices using a FIDO2 security key. If a user has never used or registered a FIDO2 security key, they should register it by visiting My Sign-Ins, clicking on Security Info, and selecting Add sign-in method. Once the FIDO2 security key is registered, complete the sign-in process and ensure the user can successfully authenticate to web applications using the security key. Configuring RDP for Entra ID-Joined Devices: For Entra ID-joined devices, follow these steps to enable RDP access using a FIDO2 security key: Ensure the user is a member of the local Remote Desktop Users group on the remote device. o Open PowerShell as Administrator and load the Microsoft Graph PowerShell module to connect to Entra ID (if needed). o Run the following command to add the user to the Remote Desktop Users group: o net localgroup "Remote Desktop Users" /add "AzureAD\user200@farooquetech.in" We can validate the configuration by opening Computer Management and checking the Local Users and Groups settings: Open Computer Management (compmgmt.msc). Navigate to Local Users and Groups → Groups. Locate and open the Remote Desktop Users group. Check if the Entra ID user we added appears in the list. This confirms that the user has been successfully added and can sign-in to remote machine using RDP. At this point, we can open Remote Desktop Connection (mstsc.exe) and attempt to connect to the remote device. Open Remote Desktop Connection (mstsc.exe). Click on the Advanced tab. Under User Authentication, ensure we select "Use a web account to sign in to the remote computer." This ensures that the RDP session leverages passwordless authentication with FIDO2 and WebAuthn for secure access. Enter the NetBIOS name of the remote computer in Remote Desktop Connection (mstsc.exe) and click Connect. On the sign-in page, enter the Entra ID account for which FIDO2 Security Key authentication is enabled. When prompted to choose a passwordless authentication method, select Security Key. Insert your FIDO2 security key, follow the prompts, and complete the authentication process. This ensures a secure, passwordless RDP connection to the remote device. Put the PIN and also touch your finger on Security Key to complete authentication. A consent is prompt to allow RDP Connection, select Yes. Post Authentication, we will see the desktop successfully loads. Remote Desktop Connection Access to Hybrid Entra ID-Joined Devices: Now, let's discuss how to establish RDP access for Hybrid Entra ID-joined devices. The process for Hybrid-joined devices differs slightly because these devices are joined to both Active Directory (AD) and Entra ID. This means authentication must be validated in both directories. To achieve this, we need to register an Active Directory Read-Only Domain Controller (RODC) object in Entra ID. This RODC object helps issue a partial Kerberos Ticket Granting Ticket (TGT) to the user after authentication with Entra ID. Note: This RODC object is not linked to any on-premises AD domain controller—it is simply an empty object in Entra ID used to enable Kerberos authentication. Enabling Entra ID Kerberos Authentication: To enable Entra ID Kerberos authentication, follow these steps: Open PowerShell as Administrator. Install the AzureADKerberos module (if not already installed): Execute below powershell commands Import-module “Import-module "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Azure Active Directory Connect\AzureADKerberos\AzureAdKerberos.psd1" $domain = $env:USERDNSDOMAIN $userPrincipalName = admin@mngenvmcapXXX.onmicrosoft.com $domainCred = Get-Credential (Enter the Active Directory credentials) Once the command executes successfully, we can verify that the AzureADKerberos account has been created in Active Directory. Open Active Directory Users and Computer and under Domain Controller, check AzureADKerberos RODC object is created. This completes the AzureADKerberos configuration, enabling the use of FIDO2 Security Keys for authentication. Now, to establish an RDP connection, follow the same steps outlined earlier for Entra ID-joined devices. Enforcing Phishing-Resistant Passwordless Authentication for RDP: To ensure that Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) always uses phishing-resistant passwordless authentication, we can enforce this through Conditional Access Policies in Entra ID. Sign in to the Entra ID portal. Go to Security → Conditional Access and create a new policy. Under Assignments, select the users or groups that require secure RDP access. In the Cloud apps or actions section, select “Microsoft Remote Desktop” with Application ID “a4a365df-50f1-4397-bc59-1a1564b8bb9c”. Under Grant Controls, choose Require authentication strength. Select Phishing-resistant authentication, which includes FIDO2 Security Keys Save and enable the policy. Note: For Hybrid Entra Joined machine, please ensure we do not use domain admin or any other AD high privileged account to logon else partial TGT will not be issued by Entra ID. I hope you found this blog helpful! In my next blog, I will cover how FIDO2 Security Keys can also be used for on-premises Active Directory domain-joined servers. Stay tuned!Update Entra ID Device Extension Attributes via PowerShell & Create Dynamic Security Groups.
2) Overview of Extension Attributes and Updating via PowerShell What Are Extension Attributes? Extension attributes (1–15) are predefined string fields available on Entra ID device objects. They are exposed to Microsoft Graph as the extensionAttributes property. These attributes can store custom values like department, environment tags (e.g., Prod, Dev), or ownership details. Why Use Them? Dynamic Group Membership: Use extension attributes in membership rules for security or Microsoft 365 groups. Policy Targeting: Apply Defender for Endpoint (MDE) policies, Conditional Access or Intune policies to devices based on custom tags. For details on configuration of the policies refer below documentation links. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/defender-endpoint/manage-security-policies https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/intune/intune-service/ https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/conditional-access/ Updating Extension Attributes via PowerShell and Graph API Use Microsoft Graph PowerShell to authenticate and update device properties. Required permission: “Device.ReadWrite.All”. 3) Using PowerShell to Update Extension Attributes create app registration in Entra ID with permissions Device.ReadWriteall and Grant admin Consent. Register an app How to register an app in Microsoft Entra ID - Microsoft identity platform | Microsoft Learn Graph API permissions Reference. For updating Entra ID device properties you need “Device.ReadWrite.all” permission and Intune administrator role to run the script. Microsoft Graph permissions reference - Microsoft Graph | Microsoft Learn Below is the script Important things to note and update the script with your custom values. a) update the path of the excel file in the script. column header is 'DeviceName' Note: You may want to use CSV instead of excel file if Excel is not available on the admin workstation running this process. b) update the credential details - tenantId,clientId & clientSecret in the script. Client id and client secret are created as a part of app registration. c) update the Externsionattribute and value in the script. This is the value of the extension attribute you want to use in dynamic membership rule creation. ___________________________________________________________________________ #Acquire token $tenantId = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" $clientId = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" $clientSecret = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" $excelFilePath = "C:\Temp\devices.xlsx" # Update with actual path $tokenResponse = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "https://login.microsoftonline.com/ $tenantId/oauth2/v2.0/token" -Method POST -Body $tokenBody $accessToken = $tokenResponse.access_token # Import Excel module and read device names Import-Module ImportExcel $deviceList = Import-Excel -Path $excelFilePath foreach ($device in $deviceList) { $deviceName = $device.DeviceName # Assumes column header is 'DeviceName' Get device ID by name $headers = @{ "Authorization" = "Bearer $accessToken"} $deviceLookupUri = "https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/devices?`$filter=displayName eq '$deviceName'" try { $deviceResponse = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $deviceLookupUri -Headers $headers -Method GET } catch { Write-Host "Error querying device: $deviceName - $_" continue } if ($null -eq $deviceResponse.value -or $deviceResponse.value.Count -eq 0) { Write-Host "Device not found: $deviceName" continue } $deviceId = $deviceResponse.value[0].id # Prepare PATCH request $uri = "https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/devices/$deviceId" $headers["Content-Type"] = "application/json" $body = @{ extensionAttributes = @{ extensionAttribute6 = "MDE" } } | ConvertTo-Json -Depth 3 try { $response = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $uri -Method Patch -Headers $headers -Body $body Write-Host "Updated device: $deviceName"} catch { Write-Host "Failed to update device: $deviceName - $_" } } Write-Host "Script execution completed." ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Here’s a simple summary of what the script does: Gets an access token from Microsoft Entra ID using the app’s tenant ID, client ID, and client secret (OAuth 2.0 client credentials flow). Reads an Excel file (update the path in $excelFilePath, and ensure the column header is DeviceName) to get a list of device names. Loops through each device name from the Excel file: Calls Microsoft Graph API to find the device ID by its display name. If the device is found, sends a PATCH request to Microsoft Graph to update extensionAttribute6 with the value "MDE". Logs the result for each device (success or failure) and prints messages to the console. 4) Using Extension Attributes in Dynamic Device Groups Once extension attributes are set, you can create a dynamic security group in Entra ID: Go to Microsoft Entra admin center → Groups → New group. Select Security as the group type and choose Dynamic Device membership. Add a membership rule, for example: (device.extensionAttributes.extensionAttribute6 -eq "MDE") 4. Save the group. Devices with extensionAttribute6 = MDE will automatically join. 5) Summary Extension attributes in Entra ID allow custom tagging of devices for automation and policy targeting. You can update these attributes using Microsoft Graph PowerShell. These attributes can be used in dynamic device group rules, enabling granular MDE policies, Conditional Access and Intune deployments.

AI agents are rapidly becoming part of everyday enterprise operations summarizing incidents, analyzing logs, orchestrating workflows, or even acting as digital colleagues. As organizations adopt these intelligent automations, securing them becomes just as important as securing human identities. Microsoft Entra introduces Agent Identities and extends Conditional Access to them but with very limited controls compared to traditional users and workload identities. This blog breaks down what Agent Identities are, how Conditional Access applies to them, and what are current limitations. What Exactly Are Agent Identities? Microsoft Entra now supports a new identity type designed specifically for AI systems: Agent Identity – like an app/service principal but specialized for AI Agent User – an identity that behaves more like a human user Agent Blueprint – a template used to create agent identities This model exists because AI systems behave differently than humans or applications: they can act autonomously, operate continuously, and make decisions without user input. AI-driven automation must be governed and that’s where Conditional Access comes in. Conditional Access for Agents, but with Important Limitations Today, Conditional Access for agent identities is purposely minimal. Microsoft clearly states: Conditional Access applies only when: An agent identity requests a token An agent user requests a token It does NOT apply when: A blueprint acquires a token to create identities An agent performs intermediate token exchange What Controls Are Actually Available Today? ✔ Supported Today Category Supported? Details Identity Targeting ✔ Yes You can include/exclude agent identities & agent users Block Access ✔ Yes This is the only Grant control currently available Agent Risk (Preview) ✔ Yes Early stage risk evaluation Sign-in evaluation ✔ Yes Token acquisition governed by CA ❌NOT Supported Today These CA controls do not apply to Agent Identities: MFA Authentication strength Device compliance Approved client apps App protection policies Session controls User sign-in frequency Terms of Use Location conditions (network/device-based) Client apps (legacy/modern access) Why? Because agents do not perform interactive authentication and do not use device signals or session context like humans. Their authentication is purely machine‑driven. How Conditional Access Works for Agents When an agent identity (or agent user) requests a token, Microsoft Entra: Identifies the requesting agent Checks CA policy assignments Evaluates any agent-risk conditions Allow/Blocks token issuance if conditions meet That’s it. No MFA prompt. No device check. No authentication strength evaluation. This makes CA for agents fundamentally different from CA for humans. Why Is Conditional Access So Limited for Agents? Two major reasons: Agents cannot satisfy user-based controls AI agents cannot: Perform MFA Use biometrics Run on compliant devices Follow session prompts These are human-driven processes. Agents authenticate via secure credential flows They use: Client credentials Federated identity credentials Token exchange flows So CA is limited to identity-level allow/block and risk-based token decisions. Practical Use Cases (Given Today’s Limitations) Even with limited controls, CA for agents is still important. Stop compromised agents from continuing to operate If Microsoft Entra detects high agent risk: CA can block token issuance This halts the agent’s ability to act immediately Enforce separation of duties for AI agents Even though you cannot apply MFA or auth strength, you can: Separate agents into “allowed” vs “blocked” groups Apply different CA rules per department or system Prevent AI sprawl Large enterprises may generate hundreds of AI agents. CA gives central admin control: Only approved, vetted agents can operate Others are blocked at token-request time Why Agent Blueprints Cannot Be Governed by CA Blueprints are templates, not active identities. Blueprint token flows are system-level operations, not access attempts. Therefore: ❌ No CA evaluation ❌ No controls applied ❌ Not counted as agent activity Only actual agent identities are governed by CA. What the Future Might Include Microsoft hints the capabilities will expand: Agent risk scoring Agent behaviour analytics More granularity in CA for agents Additional grant controls Policy scoping at task or capability level But as of today, CA for agents remains intentionally constrained to allow safe onboarding of the new identity type without accidental disruption. Final Summary Conditional Access for Agent Identities is currently a lightweight enforcement mechanism designed to block unauthorized or risky agents, not a full policy suite like we have for human users. ✔ What it does: Controls whether an agent identity can acquire a token Allows blocking specific agents Implements early agent‑risk logic Applies Zero Trust principles at the identity perimeter ❌ What it does not do: Enforce MFA Enforce authentication strength Enforce device or location conditions Apply session controls Govern blueprints As organizations adopt more autonomous agents, this foundational layer keeps AI identities visible and controllable and sets the stage for richer governance in the future.The Future of Identity: Self-Service Account Recovery (Preview) in Microsoft Entra
In the modern enterprise, the "Help Desk" is paradoxically both a vital resource and a massive security liability. As organizations move toward phishing-resistant, passwordless environments using passkeys and FIDO2 tokens, a critical question remains: What happens when a user loses their only authentication device? Historically, this required a phone call to a support agent. However, in an era of sophisticated social engineering and AI-generated deepfakes, a human agent is often the easiest point of entry for an attacker. Microsoft Entra’s new Self-Service Account Recovery solves this by replacing manual verification with high-assurance, automated identity proofing. The Fatal Flaw in Traditional Recovery Most organizations currently rely on one of two methods for recovery, both of which have significant drawbacks: Self-Service Password Reset (SSPR): Often relies on "weak" factors like SMS codes or security questions. These are easily intercepted or guessed and don't help a user who is trying to move away from passwords entirely. The Help Desk: Requires an agent to "vouch" for a user. Attackers can impersonate employees, use voice-cloning technology, or provide leaked personal information to trick an agent into issuing a Temporary Access Pass (TAP). The new Entra flow removes the human element from the validation process, ensuring that the person regaining access is exactly who they claim to be. How the New Recovery Flow Works: The recovery process is built on the concept of "identity proofing," utilizing government-issued documents and biometric liveness checks. Integration with Verification Partners Microsoft doesn’t store your passport or driver's license. Instead, Entra integrates with specialized Third-Party Identity Verification providers (such as True Credential, IDEMIA, AU10TIX). These services are experts in forensic document analysis. The Verification Process When a user begins a recovery, they are redirected to the partner service. The process typically involves: Document Capture: The user takes a photo of a government ID (Passport, Driver’s License, etc.). Forensic Analysis: The service checks for security features like holograms, fonts, and watermarks to ensure the ID is genuine. Liveness Check: The user takes a "selfie" or video. The system uses "Face Check" technology projecting specific light patterns or colors on the user’s face to ensure it is a live person and not a photo, video, or deepfake. Issuance of a Verified ID Once the third party confirms the user's identity, Microsoft Entra issues Verified ID. This is a decentralized, digital credential that sits in the user's Microsoft Authenticator app. It serves as digital proof of their identity that Entra can trust. The Final Handshake: Face Check To bridge the gap between the digital credential and the person at the keyboard, Entra performs a Face Check. It compares the live user's face against the photo contained within the Verified ID. If they match, Entra considers the identity "proven." Bootstrapping the New Device Once verified, Entra automatically issues a Temporary Access Pass (TAP). This allows the user to log in and immediately register their new device, passkey, or Authenticator app, effectively "bootstrapping" their new secure environment without ever speaking to a human. Strategic Advantages for IT Leaders Zero Trust Maturity: This process fulfills the Zero Trust requirement of "explicit verification" even during the recovery phase. Scalability: By automating the most time-consuming part of help desk tickets identity verification IT teams can focus on more complex tasks. Phishing Resistance: Because the recovery is tied to physical ID and biometrics, there is no "code" for an attacker to phish. Global Compliance: Leveraging government-issued IDs allows organizations to meet high-bar regulatory requirements for identity assurance (such as NIST IAL2). Deployment and Prerequisites To implement this, administrators need to ensure a few things are in place: Verified ID Setup: You must configure Microsoft Entra Verified ID within your tenant. Matching Logic: Entra uses attributes like First Name and Last Name to match the Verified ID to the user account. Ensuring your HR data is clean and synchronized is essential. License & Costs: While the recovery flow is a feature of Entra, the verification partners and the Face Check service (typically a per-check fee) must be provisioned through the Microsoft Security Store. Conclusion The transition to a passwordless world is incomplete if the "back door" (recovery) remains open and insecure. By integrating government-grade identity verification directly into the login flow, Microsoft Entra provides the final piece of the puzzle: a recovery method that is as secure as the primary login itself.Platform SSO for macOS
Introduction As organizations accelerate their journey to passwordless authentication, Microsoft’s Platform SSO for macOS offers a seamless, secure, and user-friendly experience for device and application sign-in. Built on Apple’s SSO framework and tightly integrated with Microsoft Entra ID, Platform SSO empowers users to leverage modern authentication methods Touch ID, smart cards, and passkeys across their macOS devices, enterprise apps, and browsers. In this blog, we’ll walk through the essentials of Platform SSO, supported authentication methods, configuration steps, and best practices for deployment in enterprise environments. What is Platform SSO for macOS? Platform SSO is a Microsoft feature for macOS (13+) that leverages Apple’s SSO framework to enable single sign-on using Entra ID credentials. Users benefit from passwordless authentication, enhanced security, and a consistent experience whether logging into their device, enterprise applications, or web browsers. Key highlights: Passwordless sign-in: Use Touch ID (Secure Enclave), smart cards, or passwords for device and app authentication. Enterprise SSO plug-in: Activated for both application and browser-based sign-in, ensuring centralized identity management. No agent required: Utilizes built-in macOS platform capabilities for easy deployment and management. Authentication Methods Supported by Platform SSO Platform SSO supports three primary authentication methods on macOS: Feature Secure Enclave Smart Card Password Passwordless (phishing resistant) ✅ ✅ ❌ Touch ID supported for unlock ✅ ✅ ✅ Can be used as passkey ✅ ❌ ❌ Local Mac password synced with Entra ID ❌ ❌ ✅ Supported on macOS 14.x+ ✅ ✅ ✅ MFA mandatory for setup ✅ ✅ ❌ Secure Enclave: Recommended for most users, Secure Enclave uses hardware-bound cryptographic keys for app and web sign-ins, enabling passwordless and phishing-resistant MFA. After a reboot, users enter their local password once, then Touch ID can be used for subsequent unlocks. The device receives a hardware-backed Primary Refresh Token (PRT) for device-wide SSO. Smart Card: Ideal for high-security or compliance-driven environments, Smart Card authentication provides complete passwordless sign-in and unlock. After sign-in, the device receives a PRT and Workplace Join (WPJ) certificate for seamless SSO to Microsoft 365, Safari, and Entra-protected apps. Password: Users sign in with their Entra ID password, which syncs to the local account for SSO across apps. Intune password policies ensure alignment with Entra ID password rules, preventing sync or sign-in issues. How Platform SSO Works When a Mac device joins a Microsoft Entra ID tenant, it receives a hardware-bound WPJ certificate accessible only by the Microsoft Enterprise SSO plug-in. Apps and browsers require this certificate to access resources protected by Conditional Access policies. Platform SSO is configured using the Intune settings catalog and should ideally be assigned at device enrollment, but can also be applied to existing devices. Deployment Steps Device Enrollment in Intune: Organization-owned devices use Apple Business Manager or Apple Configurator; personally-owned devices enroll via Company Portal. Prerequisites: macOS 13+, Intune Company Portal app v5.2404.0+, supported browsers (Edge, Chrome with SSO extension, Safari), Intune RBAC permissions. Create Platform SSO Policy in Intune: Enable Platform SSO, select authentication method (Secure Enclave, Password, Smart Card), assign to user groups. Define Policies in Platform SSO Settings: Assign to users or groups with user affinity; avoid assigning to device groups to prevent Conditional Access issues. Enable MDM Push Certificate: Required for macOS enrollment in Intune. Deploy Company Portal App: Via Intune or manually from https://aka.ms/EnrollMyMac. Enroll Device and Validate Profiles: Sign in to Company Portal with Entra ID credentials and confirm device management profile. Customizing the macOS Login Experience Platform SSO allows administrators to push Login Window Text and Show Full Name settings from Intune, enabling a personalized and informative login experience for users. These settings help display the user’s full name and custom messages during sign-in, improving clarity and branding. Best Practices Assign Platform SSO policies during device enrollment for a seamless experience. Ensure password policies in Intune and Entra ID are aligned. Use Secure Enclave for most users; Smart Card for compliance scenarios. Regularly review group memberships and issuer assignments for certificate-based authentication. Document all scoped policies for compliance and troubleshooting. Conclusion Microsoft Platform SSO for macOS is a game-changer for organizations seeking secure, passwordless authentication across devices and applications. By leveraging Entra ID credentials, Touch ID, smart cards, and passkeys, IT teams can deliver a modern, seamless, and secure experience for users while maintaining compliance and reducing operational overhead.
