Hi All,

Recently a collegue at work made me aware of the following Article, that describes how you can prevent Guest Users to M365/Teams. You can configure that on Tenant Level or on individual M365 Group Level.

• Prevent guests from being added to a specific Microsoft 365 group or Microsoft Teams team
• Group Settings

PowerShell

Let’s check out these Settings with PowerShell

# Connect Microsoft Graph

Hi All,

I had to debug an Application that sends a Mail with an Attachment via Graph API. I’ve created this Small Script to Test the Functionality.

Entra Application

You need an Entra Application.

Entra Application:

Certificate Authentication:

Permissions:

• Application: Mail.ReadWrite
• Application: Mail.Send

Application Access Policy

I’ve written a whole Article Application Access Policy in Exchange Online

• Limit Microsoft Graph Access to specific Exchange Mailboxes

Connect-ExchangeOnline -ShowBanner:$False
Get-DistributionGroup -Identity PostmasterGraphRestriction | fl DisplayName, PrimarySmtpAddress, ExternalDirectoryObjectId
Get-DistributionGroupMember -Identity PostmasterGraphRestriction | fl DisplayName, PrimarySmtpAddress,ExternalDirectoryObjectId

Hi All,

Recently i wanted to export the Groups of a User. Here is some code i used for Active Directory and Entra ID.

Active Directory

First let’s look into Active Directory. We can use the Get-ADUser commandlet and specify the “MemberOf” Property

###############################################################################
# AD GroupMember
###############################################################################
$SamAccountName = "m.muster"
$DomainController = (Get-ADDomainController).HostName
$User = Get-ADUser -Identity $SamAccountName -Properties "Memberof" -Server $DomainController
$Groups = $User.MemberOf
$Groups

After sime String Magic we have the GroupName

Hi All,

In Entra Id there are fundamentally three diffrent Identity Models

• Cloud Identity (Cloud Only Accounts)
• Syncronized Identity / Hybrid Identity (Syncronized with Entra Connect Sync or Cloud Sync from OnPrem Active Directory with password sync)
• Federated Identity (Like Syncronized Identity but without password sync - Authentication happens on the Federation Server and requrires a Trust between Entra and the Federation Service)
