Azure Agent

28 lis: Azure Agent – Where did my space go?

Recently I had a weird case where one of our Azure servers was starting losing space pretty quickly making Pulseway go nuts. As you can assume from the title of this post the cause for this is Azure Agent itself. But before I actually knew that I had to do some digging as it’s not that obvious because Windows Explorer isn’t showing anything worth checking.
PSOutlookProfile

23 lis: Outlook – The primary account cannot be removed unless it is the only account in the profile

Last few months I’m responsible for the migration of Office 365 to Office 365. While doing so, we came into a situation where users have their old mailbox as Primary Account and new Mailbox as their secondary account. This is a quite common scenario that people are running into and something that is expected. Usually, my recommendation is: Please create a new profile for user and topic is closed. It’s also quite easy to achieve this in an automated way where you delete all profiles and Outlook just goes with autodiscovery adding new account as required. That’s how I have always done this till now. My Client has gone thru setting up 1000+ users with their second account in Outlook and deleting a whole profile, recreating would cause lots of downloading of emails from Office 365 that my Client wanted to avoid.
PSBlackListChecker Discord

03 lis: PSBlackListChecker – Added Discord support

It’s been less than 24 hours since I’ve released PSBlackListChecker with support, among other improvements, for Microsoft Teams and Slack and I’m now adding Discord to the mix. Discord was a popular request (well not really, just one person asked, but let’s pretend everyone loves PSBlackListChecker so much that they are too shy to ask for feature requests!).
PSWinDocumentation - Password Quality

07 paź: PSWinDocumentation – Audit Active Directory Passwords

If you’re paying attention to what’s happening around the world now you probably know Have I Been Pwned service by now. You probably know that it has huge lists of hashes of passwords that leaked out over the years from different services (LinkedIn, Adobe, and so on). This means those passwords are now in possession of good guys, but also bad guys. With Active Directory being often a central place to store your password that allows you to access your Office 365 account, ADFS, Microsoft Exchange it’s important that your AD passwords is both secure and safe. Bad guys may want to try and access your email accounts or other data that’s available online. And having a list of passwords you or other people may have used before doesn’t help you in protecting your own data.
