Using the Secure Application Model with PartnerCenter 2.0 for Office365.

I was recently informed that my scripts for the secure application model no longer worked. This is due to Microsoft updating the PartnerCenter module with some breaking changes. To make sure you can use the Secure App Model script I’ve made a new version below.

The changes in this script are in the way the access token is generated, Normally you’d get a Windows Authentication pop-up to allow consent. This is no longer possible with the PartnerCenter 2.0 module. This also requires us to add an extra return-URI to the Azure Application. To fix these issues, use the script below.

The script

<#
    .SYNOPSIS
        This script will create the require Azure AD application.
    .EXAMPLE
        .\Create-AzureADApplication.ps1 -ConfigurePreconsent -DisplayName "Partner Center Web App"

        .\Create-AzureADApplication.ps1 -ConfigurePreconsent -DisplayName "Partner Center Web App" -TenantId eb210c1e-b697-4c06-b4e3-8b104c226b9a

        .\Create-AzureADApplication.ps1 -ConfigurePreconsent -DisplayName "Partner Center Web App" -TenantId tenant01.onmicrosoft.com
    .PARAMETER ConfigurePreconsent
        Flag indicating whether or not the Azure AD application should be configured for preconsent.
    .PARAMETER DisplayName
        Display name for the Azure AD application that will be created.
    .PARAMETER TenantId
        [OPTIONAL] The domain or tenant identifier for the Azure AD tenant that should be utilized to create the various resources.

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.
