A friend of mine recently requested if it would be possible to document some of the types of remote access tools that are installed on a computer, and list the possible access URLs; that way he could easily document which access methods are open and audit them once in a while to see if he…
So with all this exchange news going around, I figured there’s enough people writing about that so I won’t bother; there’s lots a smart scripts flying about that can be used to find the webshells, etc. Instead I’m focussing on M365 admin actions. All actions an administrator takes are written to the unified audit log,…
I always like December because everyone gets all in the mood to do these retrospectives; and 2020 was crazy for everyone! for my personally it had a heavy loss, but also a lot of positivity. I enjoy looking at the raw numbers to see how far I’ve gotten. So, show me the numbers! 1 Microsoft…
Before I start on this; I agree. Printers are the bane of our existence in IT and I am hoping for a paperless environment each day. Unfortunately we’re not at that future just yet, so we have to document print servers and their settings. So today I’m going to show you how to document your…
So with M365 BP having nearly all the features that E3 gives you, albeit with some limitations a lot of our clients are moving their E3 licenses over. M365BP has the added benefit of Intune/Autopilot, P1 licenses, etc. So all pretty awesome stuff. Before you can move a client over, you’ll have to check some…
In one of the groups I am in there was some confusion about how Secure Defaults work and how to deploy the Secure Defaults centrally, so I figured I would try to help with this. Secure Defaults is Microsoft’s answer to our questions about deploying multi factor authentication to an entire tenant, of course security…
This blog is based on Gavin Stones amazing work on gavsto.com. Gavin is a good friend of mine and he helps out our community a lot. As before I worked with his glance cards within IT-Glue that make documentation prettier. When he showed me how he used the Glance cards to create a stack overview…
This was a request by a friend in one of the peer groups I operate in. He wanted a method to document which mobile devices exist in a O365 tenant and put them into IT-Glue as configurations. I figured I’d help him real quick and blog about it. The IT-Glue version creates configurations of each…
So a while back I helped people documenting their physical servers, the biggest complaint about that blog was that “at a glance” you couldn’t really see what the server did, if it was a cluster member or not, and how the physical layout of the server was. For this, I decided to rewrite that blog…
A while back I wrote a blog about the Secure Score and how to increase it. After that blog I got a lot more questions about documenting Secure Score with the Secure Application model. To make handling the Secure Score easier, I’ve decided to make a PowerShell Module for this. The main reason for the…
So a little while ago we’ve had a client that works a lot with external contractors. These contracts are invited as guests into their Teams. This client came up to us recently and asked “Hey, I wanna know what my contractors are doing”. Normally speaking we’d just point them at IT-Glue and tell them to…
So this blog is actually two blogs all wrapped into one lovely package; I’m going to be showing you how to setup Azure Lighthouse, giving you the ability to manage your clients from your own partner portal, or via PowerShell. I’m also going to demonstrate how to document VMs in both a local HTML file…
A couple of years ago Eliot at GCITS wrote a great script to update the Office365 portal’s within IT-Glue. This script synced a lot of user information to IT-Glue and kept everything up to date if ran by a function. I loved this script and have been using it pretty much since it’s inception. Some…
So I was thinking of this idea for a bit. My sales team got approached by a product that gives you information about what breaches you are in. There were a couple of issues we had with this product. The first part is that 90% of its data comes from the public “Have I been…
This script was requested by a friend of mine. She had trouble keeping her IP address management under control. A lot of changes on super and subscopes within networks caused her to lose oversight and she was wondering if there wasn’t a clean and automated way of generating documentation for this. But before we dive…
