#POWERCON2023: the video of my session on Intune used as a security tool is now available
⚠️ 🇮🇹 To my Italian speaking followers!
A few days ago, the winter edition of #POWERCON2023, an online conference organized by the ICTPower.it community, took place.
It is certainly correct to say that Microsoft Intune is an MDM, and its main purpose is to manage devices. However, paraphrasing a famous song from the ’80s, “beyond the endpoints, there is more”! Intune is, in fact, the pivotal tool through which to implement and deploy an infinite variety of security settings, in addition to Microsoft Defender for Endpoint configurations.

#POWERCON2023: Watch the video of the session on Windows Hello for Business
A few days ago, the #POWERCON2023 was held, an online conference organized by the ICTPower.it community.

Where have I been? Updates on current and future projects!
Hi everyone! 🌟
During the summer of 2024 and even now, as most of us have settled back into our usual routines, I haven’t posted much: some people have started asking me, “Where are you? Is everything okay? You haven’t posted anything lately!” 😃
Here’s an update! Actually, nothing particular has happened.
Firstly, my new work experience is absorbing me, which is normal, especially in these early stages.
Moreover, in this new position, I am now focusing on Modern Work and no longer vertically on Security!

Configuring BitLocker via Intune using the Settings Catalog
A few days ago, I came across a very interesting article from the Intune Customer Success Team. The article discusses how to configure BitLocker through the Intune Settings Catalog. This piqued my curiosity because, considering the Settings Catalog, there are now three different ways to deploy BitLocker from Intune.
I wanted to understand the advantages of using the Settings Catalog compared to the already available methods. Here’s my experience!
⚠️ As mentioned in the video: the settings you see were done for purely educational and illustrative purposes.

Native macOS Update Management Arrives in Intune
This news was from the end of January, but amidst the chaos of activities and news, I can finally share it now: native management of macOS updates in Intune!
Prior to this functionality, managing updates for Macs enrolled in Intune was not very straightforward: scripts, third-party solutions, or user self-service management were required.
With this new set of features, it will be possible to natively manage the following types of updates from the Intune interface:

Azure Virtual Desktop: Single Sign-On su Azure AD
It took me a while to make this video, but finally, here I am: Azure Virtual Desktop Single Sign-On to Azure AD.

Could I have just shown you the simple SSO?
Clearly NO, so I even included a FIDO2 security key in it!

First day of school...
And here I am, on my “first day of school””" at Microsoft, starting a “new-old” adventure.
Old because I’ve been working with these products daily for 17 years and because I will meet many people I already know.
New because, in my new role as a Cloud Solution Architect, the perspective from which I will see them is definitely different and exciting.
Let’s get started! 🤩

Introducing the Microsoft Mac Admins Community!
Here’s the news we love on Mondays! 😍 Introducing the Microsoft Mac Admins Community, a new online community for IT professionals passionate about using Microsoft products on Apple Mac devices within enterprises!
Here’s a direct quote:
“This community is a place where Mac administrators working with Microsoft 365 or Intune management for Mac can connect with other users, share experiences and best practices, learn from experts and colleagues, get help with common issues, and draw inspiration from the latest innovations.

macOS Single Sign-On on Azure AD
About 2 years ago (June 2021), I had fun experimenting with a new feature that was in preview: macOS Single Sign-On (SSO) for Azure AD on Microsoft 365 applications and services.
⚠️ Update as of June 1, 2023 The “Microsoft Azure AD” plug-in is finally in General Availability and is ready to use in production environments!
You might be wondering, “What on earth is it for?”
This feature allows you to authenticate yourself and your fantastic Mac more easily to Microsoft 365 services and applications without repeated credential prompts, making the user experience even smoother and seamless.

Windows LAPS in Entra ID (preview)
I have tried the new Windows LAPS (Local Administrator Password Solution) with direct support for Entra ID.
If you have Windows 11 machines (which natively support it), it is really simple and fast to implement.
Here are some useful information:
📌 No licensing requirement, available from Entra ID Free and above
📌 Supported operating systems:
Windows 11 22H2 - April 11, 2023 Update Windows 11 21H2 - April 11, 2023 Update Windows 10 20H2, 21H2, and 22H2 - April 11, 2023 Update Windows Server 2022 - April 11, 2023 Update Windows Server 2019 - April 11, 2023 Update In the video, besides configuring the Intune profile to re-enable the built-in local Administrator, I also tested a slightly more specific scenario by renaming the Administrator.

A Coffee with... Maura Perra
Since 1994, Microsoft has been involved in device management: first with SMS, which later became SCCM, and then in 2011, with the advent of mobile devices, the Mobile Device Management service called Intune was created, which has grown… and grown… And today, it has become a suite! Let’s clarify the various pieces of technology we can find within this suite with Maura Perra, Technical Specialist in Cloud Endpoint for Microsoft!

Defender for Podcast - Ep. 1 - What does Microsoft Security mean?
⚠️ 🇮🇹 To my Italian speaking followers!
In this first episode of Defender for Podcast, we try to focus on what the term “Microsoft Security” means: what it encompasses, which areas it involves?
We will explore all of this from different perspectives:
How to navigate in terms of licensing and which areas are covered by consumption and which by license. Within the licensed offering, at a high level, what is the ideal license/suite in relation to the type of company/reality: we will try to map this out.

#POWERCON2023: the video of my session on Intune used as a security tool is now available
⚠️ 🇮🇹 To my Italian speaking followers!
A few days ago, the winter edition of #POWERCON2023, an online conference organized by the ICTPower.it community, took place.
It is certainly correct to say that Microsoft Intune is an MDM, and its main purpose is to manage devices. However, paraphrasing a famous song from the ’80s, “beyond the endpoints, there is more”! Intune is, in fact, the pivotal tool through which to implement and deploy an infinite variety of security settings, in addition to Microsoft Defender for Endpoint configurations.

Microsoft Entra ID Protection: what is Risk in Entra ID?
In a Zero Trust Security approach, where identity is a fundamental element, the security of authentications can be measured to some extent based on the so-called “signals.” Analyzing these signals provides a level of “risk” for a particular user when authenticating to Microsoft 365 services. Today, I’ll tell you about Mirosoft Entra Identity Protection and what the concept of “risk” means.
As always, before diving headfirst into this “risky” journey (pun intended 🤣), we need to introduce another concept: you need to understand what signals are.

What's New in Conditional Access: Templates and a New Overview Available
Fresh news in the Microsoft Entra ID realm: templates and a brand new overview are now publicly available. Let’s start with the templates.
Template Conditional Access policies are a powerful tool that offers a high degree of customization and granularity. That’s why it can sometimes be less intuitive to know where to begin when it comes to implementing a particular policy for a specific situation.
The availability of templates helps in this regard by providing ready-to-use tools for specific situations, making it easier to implement a conditional access criterion.

Back from holidays!
I haven’t sat in front of a computer for almost a month. Usually, when I sit at my home workstation, it feels like an extension of my body, given the amount of time I spend there daily for most of the year.

Finally, the ring light is in front along with the camera, and using the same support, I can also hold the microphone, all clamped to the desk without heavy and bulky stands.

Automatic Expiration of Microsoft Teams Meeting Recordings
How many times have you been asked to record a meeting because “you never know” or because “I want to review it later”? 🙋🏻♂️ Well, 99% of the recordings in Microsoft Teams are never viewed within 60 days after the meeting. It’s a waste of space and, potentially, a security issue if the recording contains sensitive information that is consciously or inadvertently shared.
Finally, the ability to set an expiration date for recorded videos has been introduced!

About 2 years ago (June 2021), I had fun experimenting with a new feature that was in preview: macOS Single Sign-On (SSO) for Azure AD on Microsoft 365 applications and services.

About 2 years ago (June 2021), I had fun experimenting with a new feature that was in preview: macOS Single Sign-On (SSO) for Azure AD on Microsoft 365 applications and services.
⚠️ Update as of June 1, 2023 The “Microsoft Azure AD” plug-in is finally in General Availability and is ready to use in production environments!
You might be wondering, “What on earth is it for?”
This feature allows you to authenticate yourself and your fantastic Mac more easily to Microsoft 365 services and applications without repeated credential prompts, making the user experience even smoother and seamless.

Convert ObjectID to SID in Azure AD and vice versa
Friday resource! If you’re tinkering with Local Groups Membership policies in Intune and (like me) have cursed a bit while converting group/role ObjectIDs to SIDs and vice versa, here’s a website that does it online instantly and conveniently.
🔹 ObjectId ➡️ SID
🔹 SID ➡️ ObjectId
I’d love to tag the author of this wonderful utility (Erik Engberg) here, but from what I’ve seen, they’re not on LinkedIn. If I’m mistaken and someone knows their exact profile, please let me know so I can give them proper thanks.

Azure Virtual Desktop: Single Sign-On su Azure AD
It took me a while to make this video, but finally, here I am: Azure Virtual Desktop Single Sign-On to Azure AD.
One of the main “criticisms” always directed at AVD is the double authentication, which many consider a hassle. With Single Sign-On, the process becomes smoother, and the required authentications decrease.
Could I have just shown you the simple SSO?
Clearly NO, so I even included a FIDO2 security key in it!

A Coffee with... Maura Perra
Since 1994, Microsoft has been involved in device management: first with SMS, which later became SCCM, and then in 2011, with the advent of mobile devices, the Mobile Device Management service called Intune was created, which has grown… and grown… And today, it has become a suite! Let’s clarify the various pieces of technology we can find within this suite with Maura Perra, Technical Specialist in Cloud Endpoint for Microsoft!

New Twitter profile
If you’re interested, I’m starting from scratch on Twitter with a brand new profile. There, I’ll be primarily writing in English.
Why? Several reasons:
To get used to using English more frequently: I read a lot of content in this language every day, but I go through (too) long periods without writing or speaking it. Because in the Microsoft sphere on Twitter, there are truly unmissable profiles and content, and the MVP community there is very active.

Windows LAPS in Entra ID (preview)
I have tried the new Windows LAPS (Local Administrator Password Solution) with direct support for Entra ID.
If you have Windows 11 machines (which natively support it), it is really simple and fast to implement.
Here are some useful information:
📌 No licensing requirement, available from Entra ID Free and above
📌 Supported operating systems:
Windows 11 22H2 - April 11, 2023 Update Windows 11 21H2 - April 11, 2023 Update Windows 10 20H2, 21H2, and 22H2 - April 11, 2023 Update Windows Server 2022 - April 11, 2023 Update Windows Server 2019 - April 11, 2023 Update In the video, besides configuring the Intune profile to re-enable the built-in local Administrator, I also tested a slightly more specific scenario by renaming the Administrator.

Trying Out a Vlog Setup!
I have plans to introduce a different type of video, in addition to the usual tutorials, in the future. Yesterday, I tested the “vlog setup” for the first time.
First impressions: excellent image quality (I had no doubts with this Sony camera), the grip is great and doubles as a remote control, and the Falcam quick release is very convenient.
Things to assess: audio quality, as I’m using the built-in microphone, and stabilization.

Configuring BitLocker via Intune using the Settings Catalog
A few days ago, I came across a very interesting article from the Intune Customer Success Team. The article discusses how to configure BitLocker through the Intune Settings Catalog. This piqued my curiosity because, considering the Settings Catalog, there are now three different ways to deploy BitLocker from Intune.
I wanted to understand the advantages of using the Settings Catalog compared to the already available methods. Here’s my experience!
⚠️ As mentioned in the video: the settings you see were done for purely educational and illustrative purposes.

Shrinking Azure VM Disk Size with PowerShell
Shrinking the disk size of a VM in Azure to save on storage costs? With a little bit of tinkering and some PowerShell magic, it can be done.
Today, I’m stepping a bit outside the usual topics I cover. 😉
A few days ago, I was looking at the consumption of my lab subscription and noticed that the disk costs were eating up a good chunk of my (limited) monthly budget.

Automatic Expiration of Microsoft Teams Meeting Recordings
How many times have you been asked to record a meeting because “you never know” or because “I want to review it later”? 🙋🏻♂️ Well, 99% of the recordings in Microsoft Teams are never viewed within 60 days after the meeting. It’s a waste of space and, potentially, a security issue if the recording contains sensitive information that is consciously or inadvertently shared.
Finally, the ability to set an expiration date for recorded videos has been introduced!
