Monitoring with PowerShell: Monitoring Office365 Azure AD Sync

We deploy Azure AD Sync for all of our clients that have hybrid environments. Sometimes the Office365 Azure AD Sync might break down, due to the Accidental Deletion Threshold or no longer perform passwords syncs due to other problems. The Azure AD sync client does tend to break from time to time.

To make sure you are alerted when this happens and can jump in on it early, there are a couple of solutions. In the Office365 portal you can easily set up Office365 to send you an email when this happens. I just don’t like receiving emails for critical infrastructure, and our RMM system has the ability to monitor cloud systems.

The scripts below can be used to monitor the Office365 Azure Active Directory Sync for one tenant, or all tenants in one go.

Single tenant script

$TenantName = "ClientDomain.onmicrosoft.com"
$AlertingTime = (Get-Date).AddHours(-24)
$credential = Get-Credential
Connect-MsolService -Credential $credential
$customer = Get-msolpartnercontract | Where-Object {$_.DefaultDomainName -eq $TenantName}

    $DirectorySynchronizationEnabled = (Get-MsolCompanyInformation -TenantId $customer.TenantId).DirectorySynchronizationEnabled
    if ($DirectorySynchronizationEnabled -eq $true) {
        $LastDirSyncTime = (Get-MsolCompanyInformation -TenantId $customer.TenantId).LastDirSyncTime
        $LastPasswordSyncTime = (Get-MsolCompanyInformation -TenantId $customer.TenantId).LastPasswordSyncTime
        If ($LastDirSyncTime -lt $AlertingTime) { $LastDirSync += "Dirsync Failed for $($Customer.DefaultDomainName) - Last Sync time was at $LastDirSyncTime `n" }
        If ($LastPasswordSyncTime -lt $AlertingTime) { $LastPasswordSync += "Password Sync Failed for $($Customer.DefaultDomainName) - Last Sync time was at $LastPasswordSyncTime `n" }
    }

if(!$LastDirSync){ $LastDirSync = "Healthy"}
if(!$LastPasswordSync){ $LastPasswordSync = "Healthy"}

Multiple tenants script

$AlertingTime = (Get-Date).AddHours(-24)
$credential = Get-Credential
Connect-MsolService -Credential $credential
$customers = Get-msolpartnercontract -All
foreach ($customer in $customers) {
    $DirectorySynchronizationEnabled = (Get-MsolCompanyInformation -TenantId $customer.TenantId).DirectorySynchronizationEnabled
    if ($DirectorySynchronizationEnabled -eq $true) {
        $LastDirSyncTime = (Get-MsolCompanyInformation -TenantId $customer.TenantId).LastDirSyncTime
        $LastPasswordSyncTime = (Get-MsolCompanyInformation -TenantId $customer.TenantId).LastPasswordSyncTime
        If ($LastDirSyncTime -lt $AlertingTime) { $LastDirSync += "Dirsync Failed for $($Customer.DefaultDomainName) - Last Sync time was at $LastDirSyncTime `n" }
        If ($LastPasswordSyncTime -lt $AlertingTime) { $LastPasswordSync += "Password Sync Failed for $($Customer.DefaultDomainName) - Last Sync time was at $LastPasswordSyncTime `n" }
    }
}

if(!$LastDirSync){ $LastDirSync = "Healthy"}
if(!$LastPasswordSync){ $LastPasswordSync = "Healthy"}

And that’s it! With this monitoring set you’ve created a cloud-sided monitoring set that can show you exactly where your Office365 Azure AD Sync fails. As always, Happy PowerShelling.

The return of CyberDrain CTF

CyberDrain CTF returns! (and so do I!)

It’s been since september that I actually picked up a digital pen equivalent and wrote anything down. This was due to me being busy with life but also my side projects like CIPP. I’m trying to get back into the game of scripting and blogging about these scripts. There’s still so much to automate and so little time, right? ;)

Monitoring with PowerShell: Monitoring Acronis Backups

Intro

This is a monitoring script requested via Reddit, One of the reddit r/msp users wondered how they can monitor Acronis a little bit easier. I jumped on this because it happened pretty much at the same time that I was asked to speak at the Acronis CyberSummit so it kinda made sense to script this so I have something to demonstrate at my session there.

Monitoring with PowerShell: Monitoring VSS Snapshots

Intro

Wow! It’s been a while since I’ve blogged. I’ve just been so swamped with CIPP that I’ve just let the blogging go entirely. It’s a shame because I think out of all my hobbies it’s one I enjoy the most. It’s always nice helping others achieve their scripting target. I even got a couple of LinkedIn questions asking if I was done with blogging but I’m not. Writing always gives me some more piece of mind so I’ll try to catch up again. I know I’ve said that before but this time I’ll follow through. I’m sitting down right now and scheduling the release of 5 blogs in one go. No more whining and no more waiting.
