Real world business tracks leading towards Azure Services
I’ve been asked a few times to share how I setup for doing a demo using different Azure resources. So, I’ll share my first way of setting up — Azure CLI. Today, we’ll walk through some of the steps I run and how to save it to do it all again next time. This is one of the ways that I get setup with storage accounts, Windows servers, Linux servers, and even App Gateways and Load Balancers…so buckle up for a little code run-through!
Today Microsoft Cloud Quick Fix chats with Andrew Lowes from AzureTracks about Multi-factor Authentication in the Microsoft Cloud and recent finding that 78% of Microsoft 365 administrators do not have multi-factor authentication (MFA) activated!
In this installment of Microsoft Identity tidbits, Ryan of @MSCQF and I speak about Azure Active Directory and how it’s different from Windows Server Active Directory. We look at some of the confusion around hosting a virtual machine in Azure that is running Windows Server Active Directory and using Azure AD Connect to extend that into Azure Active Directory. Join us for a few minutes of fun and discovery as we explore the differences in Active Directory types.
Today we talk about what happens when Azure Active Directory Connect breaks. We discuss common causes, fixes, where to find some guidance, and some of the issues around a broken connection between your on-premises Windows Server Active Directory and Azure Active Directory. Join Ryan @MSCQF and myself for a short discussion and learn a bit more about our Microsoft tools in the hybrid world.

Today I continue our video podcast series with Ryan McKay from Microsoft Cloud Quick Fix where we chat about Microsoft Cloud Identity Basics and specifically Microsoft Azure AD Connect and the capabilities it enables with other Microsoft technologies. Join us while we explore some of the features and requirements for Self Service Password Reset…
Today we explore some sources of Microsoft Cloud status information, what happened this past week with some incidents in the Microsoft Cloud, and we talk about the rapid deployment of features into cloud services over the last 2 quarters. Join us for a few minutes as we discuss the Azure and Microsoft 365 status consoles and learn about how to get information to our support teams quickly.
I’ve been talking a lot about Identity lately, and the most common configuration is a hybrid setup that utilizes the best of both worlds! I’m talking about Windows Server Active Directory for your on-premises and Azure Active Directory for your Microsoft cloud…this is the most common because it allows for local servers and resources, easy identity management, and extended identities into the cloud where you can layer on SaaS applications and other awesome things like Microsoft 365.
Today I chat about Microsoft cloud identity basics around Azure AD Connect. We talk about a couple configuration tips, some advantages of being hybrid, and what all-cloud really means with identity. Join us to learn together about enabling Microsoft cloud technologies.
Today Ryan McKay and I talk about some of the key differences in Active Directory for on-premises vs Microsoft Azure Cloud, what it means for some features and AD object fields, and what you can do in the two different stores. We discuss some benefits of hybrid and cloud centric designs. Join us for a brief talk about the basics
This is not a complex configuration by any stretch as Microsoft has made this really straight-forward to setup for us; but it is an important step to help establish your brand at login. This is quite important to communicate to your users logging into your resources and applications via Azure AD. It can help prevent credential loss — especially if combined with Multi-Factor Authentication.
