EntraFIDOFinder March Update

by Leave a Comment

We are in March, and looks like no new major changes. I may have to start sending this update out later in the week, as I’m wondering if Microsoft hasn’t updated their page yet.

Some things I did notice were that a few of the YubiKey names slightly changed on the FIDO Alliance database, but haven’t changed on Microsoft side, so I need to wait before I change them on mine so I don’t keep getting errors if it doesn’t match up with Microsoft.

Although, these won’t show up on Microsoft’s website, 3 Yubico keys have received L2 certification now.

  • dd86a2da-86a0-4cbe-b462-4bd31f57bc6f – YubiKey Bio FIDO Edition
  • 58276709-bb4b-4bb3-baf1-60eea99282a7 – YubiKey Bio Series – Multi-protocol Edition 1VDJSN
  • 90636e1f-ef82-43bf-bdcf-5255f139d12f – YubiKey Bio Series – Multi-protocol Edition

I’ll keep an eye out and see if Microsoft updates their naming for the few and see if any other features change, but for now, that is all. No new PowerShell module version until Microsoft puts out an update or features are added, but did add the L2 certifications to the web version.

02-14-2025 MSOnline and AzureAD PowerShell modules.. One last Valentine’s day card each

by Leave a Comment

If you haven’t seen the news already, MSOnline and AzureAD PowerShell modules will be no longer supported after March 30, 2025. So looks like this will be our last year to give them a Valentine’s day card for all the times they’ve been there for us! Now, what do we need to know:

ModuleEnd of supportTemporary outage testsRetirement
MSOnlineMarch 30, 2025Between January 20, 2025 and March 30, 2025Early Apr 2025 to late May 2025
AzureADMarch 30, 2025N/AAfter July 1, 2025

If you haven’t already upgraded your scripts/modules that use these, the time is definitely now. Are there any scripts you can’t migrate over? If so, put it in the comments, social media, and reach out to Microsoft as well, and let’s figure it out!

Custom Maester Tests: Validate Full Addresses Now and Cleaned Up Wording

by Leave a Comment

Added 3 new tests which I think the first two will be game changers. The first 2 are tests for validating locations, in which the user must have street, city, state, postal code, country, business phone, and company name the same as the valid location in the json. If you have 3 different addreses that your company uses, you can put each in there, and they are seen as 3 different addresses so it will only pass the location test if they have all the correct values for 1 location. The 2nd test is the same as the first, but I removed business phone in case your company doesn’t have standard for it for all employees. The last test is formatting for user email accounts that should be formatted as all lower case and its first name period last name. Also I cleaned up some of the wording in all the different tests to keep them as similar as possible. Feel free to change in your tests though!

ENTRA.UV.1010.L01 – All location information

  • Test-ContosoUsersAllowedLocations.ps1
  • Test-ContosoUsersAllowedLocations.Tests.ps1
  • Test-ContosoUsersAllowedLocations.md

ENTRA.UV.1010.L02 – All location information minus business phone

  • Test-ContosoUsersAllowedLocationsNoBusinessPhones.ps1
  • Test-ContosoUsersAllowedLocationsNoBusinessPhones.Tests.ps1
  • Test-ContosoUsersAllowedLocationsNoBusinessPhones.md

ENTRA.UF.1003.T03.Email – All lower case first name period last name

  • Test-ContosoUsersFormattingFirstLastLowerCase.ps1
  • Test-ContosoUsersFormattingFirstLastLowerCase.Tests.ps1
  • Test-ContosoUsersFormattingFirstLastLowerCase.md

Are there any other tests you’d like to see sooner than later?

Now you can use your own company standards with Maester custom tests

I thought checking to see if they were filled in or even formatted correctly wasn’t enough.. now you can config the validation.json file in the Validating folder with your company standards to make only those values pass. Here are the fields so far, and will be adding more!

  • ENTRA.UV.1001 – Company Name
  • ENTRA.UV.1002 – Street Address
  • ENTRA.UV.1003 – City
  • ENTRA.UV.1004 – State
  • ENTRA.UV.1005 – Postal Code
  • ENTRA.UV.1006 – Country
  • ENTRA.UV.1007 – Business Phone Number
  • ENTRA.UV.1008 – Job Title
  • ENTRA.UV.1009 – Department

Hope you like this new update and let me know if you run into any issues or want to see any other updates. Please don’t forget to star the repo and share to get the word out so more people can add theirs.

Have a great day!

If Maester couldn’t get any better…Custom Test Collection now available

by Leave a Comment

The time has finally come. I have created a public repository to store custom Maester tests for everyone. As well as a website for deeper understanding where needed. I haven’t seen anyone else do it yet, and worse case scenario, people can just use the ones that I create, but I envision others adding theirs to this too. Yes, you will have to create the function, test, and the markdown file (I and/or others can help), so that we can have a collection of tests that anyone can pick and choose which ones they want to add to their Maester and customize it to their needs. They don’t need to be 365 related either, as they could be checks for Windows 11 settings, server configs, or check that a certain OU should only has these mentioned users or computers and to make sure that doesn’t change.

This is still in its early stages and would love any feedback to make it better while still showing that it is a companion to Maester. I wanted to get the framework started to that we can start gaining the benefits from the repository while still making it easy to use.

I hope you are excited about this as I am, and we can create a large community collection of tests.

Please star and share the repo. Open issues for tests that you want to see and if you already have one or can make it, put that in the issue. Let’s make all our IT lives easier and safer.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and hope you find value in this and can share your knowledge as well.

I’m also working on a module for the Entra attribute fields that will fix any issues by either manually typing in the correct value or only allow company standard values.
