Depending on your situation, you may want to take control of how Exchange’s Autodiscover lookup process works. Specifically, there are a lot of scenarios where Autodiscover will break because the lookup process isn’t properly controlled. In this article, I’ll go over registry settings that will let you control which steps are used and which ones are skipped.…
Update: Due to some changes in how MS handles MFA in O365, I’ve had to completely re-write this article. Updated instructions follow.
MFA in O365
Office 365 MFA is probably the best thing to enable for securing the environment. Microsoft has gone through a number of iterations on setting this up, but has finally ended with the existing settings.…
This post will go over some of the many errors that occur when attempting to move a mailbox to Office 365. The error messages you see are discovered when showing the details of a failed migration and then clicking on a failed user in that migration.
Issues
1. “You can’t use the domain because it’s not an accepted domain for your organization”
Office 365 will not accept migration of a mailbox if that mailbox has an email alias that includes a domain that doesn’t exist in Office 365.…
The Problem
A very common issue when moving an organization from an on-premises Exchange environment to Office 365 is non-usable domain names. The issue happens because a domain name of the Active Directory Domain has one of these issues:
- The Domain used by AD is not “owned” by the organization. This issue happens when a company decides to use a specific domain name on their Internal network when they have either lost control of that domain name or never had control of it.
There are lots of permissions that can be delegated in Intune/Microsoft365 Device Management. Understanding what each of those permissions is for and when to assign them is, therefore, a little difficult. With this post, I’ve gone through the task of outlining all of the delegate permissions in Intune as of September 2019. I’ll try to keep this up to date, but if I fail to, just leave a comment telling me something has changed and I’ll get things fixed.…
So far, this guide has covered terminology and theory used to develop Delegated Administrator roles for Intune’s RBAC system and how to create users with limited rights to Intune in Step by Step: Intune Admin Delegation with RBAC #1
Next, we covered building RBAC scope tags and assigning those tags with device groups in Step by Step: Intune Delegation with RBAC #2
For this article, we’ll cover the creation of an actual Role in Intune.…
I was going to include this in part 3 of my Intune RBAC guide, but it’s a lot of stuff, so I’m making a separate post for it. With that said, here are the permissions you will want to set for a normal, run of the mill iOS and Android device manager in Intune. This permission set has no Windows device permissions, so you will need to add those if you want a management role for all devices.…
In this part of the Intune Delegation with RBAC guide, I’ll go over the pieces you need. In the first part of this guide, I went over the terminology and concepts, so go back to that if you haven’t already read it. We’ll use those concepts and terms heavily from here on out.…

RBAC
RBAC, or Role Based Access Control is a methodology for assigning permissions to users based on their job role(s). Administrative Rights delegation benefits from RBAC methodology by restricting rights to the people who need them without granting excessive permission. It contrasts with the most common AD access control methodology, Discretionary Access Control (DAC).…
Problem
Here’s a problem that comes up regularly when running searches in the Microsoft 365 Security and Compliance portal (As of this date, these portals are scheduled to be separated with the upcoming changes to the admin portal). When you run a search, you can’t preview or download search results. In the search preview, you get this message: “to preview search results, please ask your compliance admin to grant you preview permission.”…
