@merill.net @nathanmcnulty.com Do either of you have the contacts within @microsoft.com to get this reversed? It's an abomination now...if licenses are not assigning, I got to go through them 1 by 1, checking the groups, checking conflicts... I feel like I need 2-3 Admin portal windows open!

I like deploying @microsoft.com Defender for External Attack Surface Management (EASM) as an external observation layer for the clients I manage. Originally a very reasonable cost, I noticed that the costs appeared to have trippled over the last couple of months:

Setting up some new @microsoft365.microsoft.com tenants today, and there is so much to do to make them fit for purpose! Why oh why do I need to go through these individually to disable them?? I must check out PowerShell...

My plan is to unwind over the remainder of the Christmas holiday by making an effort to reduce the bedside pile of books (which “magically” grew again). Reading “Notes from a Small Island”, and I see Bill Bryson channelling my sentiments exactly on sand!

While I would love my clients to go with Passkeys, I still struggle in two areas: - a useful set of CA policies to allow passkey registration on BYOD mobile devices for remote workers - the windows interface is still a bit of a dogs breakfast if you have Fido/whfb/multiple accounts.

Can anyone point to any cybersecurity awareness training materials or courses that they felt "hit home" with general users? I am in the process of updating my offers, but to date, I feel it is just ticking a box; I have twice had people fall for scams within a week of them undertaking training.

I got stung on an @microsoftazure.bsky.social #LogicApps charge - simple app runs on-prem SQL stored procedure and writes output to file, every two minutes. No premium connectors, €60/day. Ouch! And what is "Consumption Data Retention" which is causing most of the issue?

#LogicApp help! I have an important business workflow using Azure Document Intelligence, and for the last while that step is corrupting; the only way I can fix is to put in a similar step, and remove the corrupt one. No changes made to AI resource or the workflow. Any ideas?
