October 14, 2024 – Tomorrow is MFA Enforcement day and we have our first FIDO2 key update

by Leave a Comment

Today is the last day before Phase 1 of MFA Enforcement of Microsoft portals being turned on. This includes break glass accounts as well, so make sure you have your FIDO keys, Certs, or a dedicated computer with Windows Hello for Business setup.

You can learn more of the details at Microsoft Learn – https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/authentication/concept-mandatory-multifactor-authentication

If you want to see what accounts will be affected, check out Daniel Bradley’s great blog at https://ourcloudnetwork.com/how-to-assess-the-impact-of-mfa-enforcement-in-azure/

This past Saturday we had our first update to the FIDO2 key database. The OneSpan DIGIPASS FX1 BIO now has been approved for NFC. It looks like it was updated later on Friday as the page shows last updated on the 11th, but when I had checked that morning there wasn’t an update.

Also, I’ve updated the module to show the change in database as well as when you check which version of the database you have it automatically tells you if it is outdated instead of needing to then run the -NewVersion parameter.

Added Cmdlet Get-FIDODbLog which will show you the database merge log so you don’t have to go to the web to see it and will have it right in your terminal.

EntraFIDOFinder Update

by Leave a Comment

October 15, is less than a week away for the MFA requirement on certain 365 Apps. Please make sure you are all set by then. Make sure to go through all your accounts, especially those old ones that you rarely ever touch, and see if you still need it or what is the best way to protect it now. For some you will be able to delete and others you will need something such as a cert, FIDO2 key, or Windows Hello for Business. For those that will need a FIDO2 key, I’ve pulled from Microsoft Learn the current Attestation capable FIDO2 keys that are compatible with Entra. The database may say that it was last updated September 30, 2024, but I reviewed it today(Oct 9th) and the list still hasn’t changed. Once they do update it, I’ll update mine as well as show the changes.

With that said, I’ve now created a function called Show-FIDODbVersion that will show you what your current version is, and if you use Show-FIDODbVersion -NewestVersion, it will show you the newest version out. Would you rather me, show the difference as soon as you run Show-FIDODbVersion if there is or do you want them seperate?

Also working on automating the update process so that it can be checked daily with minimal intervention.

Are there any other features you’d like to see? I’m going to be adding at least vendor links and I’ve been trying to find pricing, but more than a handful of them do not even show pricing and not sure how valuable it will be if only a few of the vendors have pricing. How critical is cost to you?

I hope EntraFIDOFinder has been useful for you, and I can’t believe it has over 100 downloads already. I wasn’t even going to publish this, but figured there was someone else out there that didn’t want to just look at a static website and scroll through, so that is why I created the module and the interactive webpage.

EntraFIDOFinder – New PowerShell Module

by Leave a Comment

After so much interest from my post on Friday, I figured I’d do one better and make a PowerShell module that does it for you. So now you will be able to find which FIDO2 keys are attestation compatible with Entra right from your terminal. In the very near future I will have individual functions for exporting to Excel, CSV, Markdown, and PDF, but know a lot of people like to customize that themselves. I even put a few quick pointers on GitHub for it too, but will be doing tutorials shortly as well.

I’m still cleaning up the GitHub, but it is in the PowerShell Gallery and on GitHub at the links below.

You are able to search by Brand and/or device type such as USB, NFC, BLE, or BIO. These values are all parameter validated so if you do not see a brand that you have, then currently it is not compatible. Here is also the original link I shared on Friday Microsoft Learn FIDO2 Hardware Attestation.

Let me know what you think and do you find it useful. There are a few other features I want to add, but open to any other suggestions or do you think it is good as is?

And don’t forget the mid Oct deadline is coming up quickly for Entra admin portals, good luck!

Module Monday July 31, 2023

Well, here it is!  Module Monday, but this one is a module I’ve been working on for a bit and figured it’s time to put it out to the community for others to enjoy and improve. Have you had to test PowerShell scripts on your 365 tenant and really didn’t want to use your production environment, but wanted to keep the close as possible for testing accuracy? Then you’ll want 365AutomatedLab in your tool chest. It can also be used to add multiple users to an environment from an excel sheet or add multiple groups to a user per their title from an excel sheet. Hope you check it out and leave some feedback! So much I want to do with it and super excited about this project that I feel can help so many!

I’ll be doing some blog posts and video tutorials in the near future. Any preferences?

Thanks to Andrew Pla for the extra push 😆

Module Monday November 7, 2022

It’s Monday…..

So here is a new module for today! This one is actually expanding on one liner Wednesday form last week.

This module is called “Password Solution” which allows you to easily search, review, and email users, managers, and IT about passwords expiring. You can even create specific  templates to send out to depending on who is receiving it. He make makes it so easy, it makes it tough for a reason not to have something like this in place!

Another great feature is the dashboard that he provides you, which saves you a lot of time trying to make your own from the one liner last week.

One-Liner Wednesday November 2, 2022

Get-ADUser -filter {Enabled -eq $True -and PasswordNeverExpires -eq $False} –Properties "DisplayName", "msDS-UserPasswordExpiryTimeComputed" |
Select-Object -Property "Displayname",@{Name="ExpiryDate";Expression={[datetime]::FromFileTime($_."msDS-UserPasswordExpiryTimeComputed")}} | sort-object ExpiryDate

Here is a one liner that find very useful and hope you do to.

You can customize it even more, but for now this one grabs all the AD User accounts that are expiring and the ones expiring first at the top. I love using this to stay in front of users passwords expiring then they can’t connect or if they are off network and is a rush to get it done.

You could even sent this up as a scheduled task and have it pull the next 2 weeks of users. Then either you reach out to them, it emails them, or it notifies your help desk to reach out to them to help change their password.

Or you could have it in your dashboard so you’d always see the next 2 weeks of users passwords expiring.
