When deploying Windows VMs in Azure, we get the default settings. This means we get a 12-hour clock, standard UTC/Zulu timezone and such…
Today I have a Logic App for you to clean up orphaned FSLogix profiles with Logic Apps. As you know, storage in Azure costs money and we want to store as minimum as possible. But in most companies, old and orphaned FSLogix profiles will be forgotten to clean up so we have automate this. In this guide I will show you how you can clean up FSLogix profiles from Azure Files by looking up the last modified date, and deleting the files after they exceeded the number of days.
Today I have a relatively short blog post. I have created a script that exports all Entra ID user role assignments with Microsoft Graph. This can come in handy when auditing your users, but then realizing the portals doesn’t always show you the information in the most efficient way. Therefore, I have created a script that only gets all Entra ID role assignments to users of every role and exports it to a nice and readable CSV file.
On Windows Servers, a critical point is maintaining the disk space. If a disk fills up to the end, several errors can occur and impacting…
In Microsoft Entra ID it’s possible to create App registrations and Enterprise applications who can get high privileges if not managed and monitored regularly. We do our best with Identities to be secure, with security processes like MFA, access reviews and such, but most of the companies don’t care that much about the Enterprise applications. In this post, I will try to convince you that this is as much as important as identities. For helping you to solve this I built a PowerShell script to get a complete overview of all the applications and their permissions.
Sometimes, we need to check some basic connectivity from end user devices to a service like Azure Virtual Desktop. Most networks have a custom firewall equipped where we must allow certain traffic to flow to the internet. Previously there was a tool from Microsoft available, the Azure Virtual Desktop experience estimator, but they have discontinued that. This tested the Round Trip Time (RTT) to a specific Azure region and is a calculation of what the end user will get.
When using Windows 11 Multi Session images on Azure for Azure Virtual Desktop, Microsoft has disabled some features and changed the behaviour to optimize it for using with multiple users. One of the things that has been “lazy loading” is Windows Search. The first time after logging in it will be much slower than normal. The 2nd, 3rd and 4th time, it will be much faster.
Today I have a PowerShell script that creates users by asking the user what to fill in. This works by having a fully prepared “New-ADUser” command with all the properties filled in to have all users using the same attributes.
By default, all Azure VMs are set to English language and UTC/Zulu timezone. This will work for a great portion of the Azure VM users but…
