Every last one of the agents involved in this heinous act should be thrown in prison for life without parole.

Looks like MS is having export issues with reports. FYI if you're pulling reports from Graph you'll get a 404 unknown.

I channeled my anger, frustration, and sadness about the state murders of #reneegood and #alexpretti this weekend and started working on Project Witness. There are so many videos recorded by protestors, legal observers, released bodycam footage. But it's difficult to get them all together.

Crazy game.

Suppose you need to clean a room.

Anyone with A(u)DHD can tell you: this is not a realistic task. It's composed of lots of smaller tasks, very specific subtasks.

Ones which can feel embarrassingly small, and demotivating when compared to the state of the room.

TLDR they have a list of 'popular mail apps' that are allowed by default if you have the 'let Microsoft manage your consent settings'. If checked a few mail clients users are allowed to consent to caught us by surprise so figured I'd share.

Manage app consent policies - Microsoft Entra ID Learn how to manage built-in and custom app consent policies to control when consent can be granted.

For anyone managing Entra/M365 tenants specifically dealing with application consent policies: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/... They added this mail client policy sometime.. recently?

Old sweet chonky boy.

And then after PIM says its done, it's not ;) Security portals are notorious for taking a long time to actually load things properly post PIM elevation haha. Recently started having similar delays with SharePoint Online even :(

i love the use of the bookcase to put your PC on.

compared to my previous auth flow where I just provided the UPN and auth'd via my edge profile, no additional clicks required. Seems like 3.7+ it's probably best to leave off the -UserPrincipalName and let the account picker pop up do the work?

Using MSAL.NET with Web Account Manager (WAM) - Microsoft Authentication Library for .NET MSAL is able to call Web Account Manager (WAM), a Windows component that ships with the OS. This component acts as an authentication broker allowing the users of your app to benefit from integration w...

learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/... found a bit of general information here, and it mentions the AAD broker plugin which I did see get called during the authentication process in 3.7.

The 'Account Picker' this references works - if you don't pass it the UPN, but still requires an extra click...

About the Exchange Online PowerShell V3 module Admins can learn about the installation, maintenance, and design of the Exchange Online PowerShell V3 module that they use to connect to all Exchange-related PowerShell environments in Microsoft 365.

Also do you have docs on this? learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powers... makes no mention of it.

I guess i'm confused. The old auth flow worked well for me. I had a profile setup in edge and i literally just ran `Connect-ExchangeOnline -UserPrincipalName 'x'` and I was in. it opened a tab in edge. I've lost that functionality in 3.7. Using UPN forces a auth prompt in its own dialogue window.

Yeah - We use this a lot in modules. It's super handy for an assortment of situations.

I could probably work around it, by changing the session itself, but ideally I don't need to change anything on my end. I think this is potentially how they are adding the 'you need to update' message on the 'banner' when you run Connect-ExchangeOnline now. Anyone else run into this?

dang, look at that group!

For me - I was working in IT Support and was tasked with building out an Asset Management solution with no budget, just my own time. I found an open source solution (Snipe IT), and since it was not agent-based, I did what I could and created a powershell script to onboard assets into the system.

Difference in passing by value and reference

Did you know you that in #PowerShell when utilizing variables, most 'simple' variables or objects are passed by value, while 'complex' values are passed by reference? See: Types & about Ref. Second document has great function examples.

Passed by reference = Shallow copy
Passed by value = Deep copy
