So recently I started working on another IoT project which lead me to breaking out all my old development kits. I previously wrote a blog called My Azure Sphere Needs Reset where I walked through recovering an old Azure Sphere Development Kit I had. So I decided to write another few blogs following how I had to do the same with all my devices since I couldn’t really remember any of the configurations and some of these devices had been configured for long gone IoT Hubs and tenants that don’t exist anymore.

So I needed to break out my Azure SPhere Development kit again that I haven’t touched in a very long time. Since then, the tenant my Azure Sphere was registered to has changed, and along with other things like my memory in my aging head, I couldn’t remember for the life of me how to access the kit.

So this blog is mainly for me so in 6 months when I need to use my Azure Sphere development kit again I will have a quick and easy reminder.

This is going to be one of those blogs that I write based off of things I didn’t know but learned in the heat of the moment.

I want to be able to have a normal user get on to the Entra Permissions Management portal to request the needed permissions they need. (This in itself is can be a blog and how to videos) So turned to Bing/Google/Chat GPT/My Dog… nothing. They all linked to how to manage users and groups within the Portal but only at an administrative level.

Since I recently re-did a blog about how to install Windows Terminal I wanted to write a quick blog on some of my favorite customizations that I do for my Windows Terminal.

The three areas I always change are:

1. Open As Admin
2. Always on Top
3. Backgrounds for each profile. (ie, PowerShell, Azure Cloud, Ubuntu, etc).

So how exciting is it to look at this all day?

Well, a few clicks here and a few clicks there can have your Windows Terminal looking a little more like yourself or at least a little like your own taste?

I have been working with Intune Proactive Remediation scripts I wanted to share a few that I am working on.If you want to know more about Intune Proactive Remediation you can check on past blogs of mine.

Using Intune’s Proactive Remediation Script Packages to configure clients to retrieve Kerberos tickets for Azure Files.

Intune Proactive Remediation - Check if KB5007253 is installed.

The following scripts are currently in my GitHub repo called ProactiveRemediations.

I want to start this blog out by saying I am not an Intune expert. In fact I don’t really spend much time with Intune. However, once in a while there are projects that require certain tools like InTune so once in a while I do get my hands on Intune. So I want to share what I have learned about Intune Proactive Remediation and how to create and apply them in your Endpoint environment.

Early this year I had written a blog talking about how to enable Windows Terminal on Windows Server. However, I deleted that blog and all content and can’t find my backups so I am re-writing it once again. I wanted to share my experience with installing Windows Terminal on Windows Server and what I had to do to get around the blockers I ran into. As I mentioned in the last blog I had ran into issues that other bloggers never seemed to run into when installing Windows Terminal.

In a previous post I blogged about how to setup Microsoft Entra Permissions Management and onboarding an Microsoft Azure Subscription. In this post I will show how to onboard a Google Cloud Platform project.

First let’s login to the Entra Permissions Management dashboard.

Click on the gear in the top right corner to open up the Data Collectors dashboard.

Click the GCP under the Data Collectors tab then click Create Configuration. In the Configure data collection: GCP window we will need information about our Google Cloud project. That information can be found on your Google Cloud Project info dashboard.

I recently had the privilege to be on The Microsoft 425Show, a Microsoft security chat show. The topic of the podcast was Entra Permissions Management: Partner Perspectives. I had a great time talking with co-workers and with Shannon Kuehn a Senior Product Manager in the Identity product group at Microsoft.

You can access the show podcast from this link Entra Permissions Management: Partner Perspectives or stick around and listen below.

I look forward to more blogs about Microsoft Entra and the family of multicloud identity and access products.

This post will be a walk through on how to quickly setup Entra Permissions Management for the first time. One of the best ways to try our Entra Permissions Management is to start a trial and just jump in. The Identity product group has a nice little user guide out there on Microsoft Learn Trial user guide: Microsoft Entra Permissions Management. There are also other ways to get your hands dirty with Entra, you can always reach out to my company and have us do an Entra PM multi-cloud risk assessment analyzes Azure and multi-cloud permissions risk.
