Authenticator not displaying numbers on MacOS
I'm have an issue with MFA on a Mac (all the latest versions). We have conditional access policies in place, so once a day I'm prompted for MFA (I work off-site) and the Office app (e.g. Outlook, Teams) will create the pop-up window that 'should' display a number that I then match on my phone. My phone see's the push notification, but the Mac never creates the numbers in the first place. The pop-up is there, just no number. The workaround is: Answer 'its not me' on the phone On the Mac, select 'I can't use Authenticator right now' Tell the Mac to send a new request This time it creates the number and I can authenticate on the phone. It only appears to happen for the installed Office applications i.e. if I'm accessing applications/admin-centre via the browser, then the pop-up is within the browser and everything works first time. Is this a known issue?Anomalies with Conditional Access Policy "Terms of Use" Failures
Hello Microsoft Community, I'm reaching out with a bit of a puzzle regarding our "Terms of Use" Conditional Access policy, and I'm eager to tap into the collective wisdom here for some insights. In our Entra ID User Sign-In logs, we've identified intermittent "failure" entries associated with the "Terms of Use" Conditional Access policy. Interestingly, even for users who had previously accepted the "Terms of Use". There appears to be no discernible impact, and they continue their tasks without interruption. This observation became apparent during the troubleshooting of unrelated Surface Hub and Edge Sync issues at some client sites. What adds to the complexity of the situation is that for the same users, both before and after these "failure" entries, the Conditional Access policy is marked as "success". Hence, it doesn't seem to be a straightforward case of the policy erroneously detecting non-acceptance of the "Terms of Use". The mystery lies in understanding why these intermittent "failure" entries occur for users who have already accepted the terms, especially when the policy consistently reports "success" for the same users. Furthermore, the Insights for the "Terms of Use" Conditional Access policy show around 1.48k successes and 1.43k failures in the last 90 days, yet there's no discernible impact on user functionality. Observations: "Failure" entries in Sign-In logs don't seem to disrupt users' day-to-day activities. The ratio of successes to failures is balanced, yet users experience no noticeable problems. The issue complicates troubleshooting efforts but doesn't significantly affect the user experience. I'm turning to the community for guidance on interpreting and resolving this discrepancy between "failure" entries in the Conditional Access policy logs and the seemingly unaffected user experience. Any insights into why these failures occur without user impact would be greatly appreciated. For additional context, I've attached screenshots of a user's Sign-In log entry and the insight chart from the Conditional Access policy. Sign-In log of a user (failure): Sign-In log of same user (success): Current Conditional Access insights: Thank you in advance for your time and assistance. I look forward to any guidance or solutions you can provide. Best regards, Leon TüpkerMicrosoft Security Community in 2025

Hi All, We have a requirement to monitor low disk space, particularly on devices with less than 1GB of available space. We were considering creating a custom compliance policy, but this would lead to blocking access to company resources as soon as the device becomes non-compliant. Therefore, we were wondering if there are any other automated methods we could use to monitor the logical disk space (primarily the C drive) using Intune or Microsoft Graph.

Insider Builds
I have been an avid Microsoft user for many years with only a couple of small issues every now and again. The 6 weeks have been unbelievably stressful and disheartening. I thought trying samples of New Insider builds and enlisting in Azure for some up to date training for myself to help with what I wanted to roll out for my business. This has been the worst experience i have ever been apart of. I now have multiple computers and hardware in disarray but more importantly the loss of time and patience is paramount . I have come to realise the repetitive responses and requests for data collection on feedback or issues is one-sided The amount of user data submissions is not the issue though. It is the assistance from Microsoft regarding issue via portals, help-desk etc. The inclusion of many backend functions for the purpose of better user experience is heavily flawed. Unless end-user inadvertently has or encounters issues in there OS life is good. Heavily automated program tiggers sit through all OS builds for example. One drive. Regardless whether this is declined or removed it will always be running in the background. If you system had been compromised this is a perfect place for root-kit other Malware to spread. Xcopy: A Microsoft background function which has the ability clone and copy 99% of drivers of operating info structure. Can be controlled by ghost script directives or embedded dll to aid malware. Anti-virus or defender find difficulties identifying or distinguishing authentic and re-pro-ducted data. In time this type of incursion can mimic a vast amount of OS functionality. Microsoft OS validity. I have trailed numerous builds with all sharing this characteristic. Invalid or expired software and driver certificates & TPM flaws even after a full clean reset and TPM turned off in bios. Inevitably this can introduce compromised software without end-user knowledge. The impact leads to unauthorised access in many elements of the OS platform especially data access and embedded .dll which can run inline or above elevated authorisation. A lot of this is undetectable. Once embedded in OS and bios this is impossible to clean without expert assistance and can be very costly. For the most part the inclusion of new AI functionality across the OS platform is very welcomed. Unfortunately there are a large amount of bugs to be ironed out especially in the platform navigation. Advice provided via OS AI can be mis-leading or incorrect. .
Auto-labelling in Purview-Which license or alternatives can be used rather than E5 ?
We are considering adopting Purview for Information Protection and DLP, but we are currently on E3 licenses. Given the extensive size of our SharePoint environment, auto-labelling is crucial for applying sensitivity labels to content across wide scopes automatically. My question is, are there any alternatives to upgrading licenses to E5 or adding the Compliance Add-on? Upgrading several thousand users to E5 or the Compliance Add-on requires significant justification, and I am wondering if there are other interim solutions we could leverage for a period of one year. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated! Thank you! Kev
