Explore Microsoft Graph as a B2B Guest Account

The Microsoft Graph Explorer (https://aka.ms/ge ) is always a great learning source and useful tool for querying the Microsoft Graph, especially as you can use your own Azure AD work account or Microsoft account to query for real data. Another advantage with the Graph Explorer is that you can use it without requiring an App Registration in your tenant, something most users are not able to do themselves as they don’t have the administrator rights for registering apps.

Get and Set Automatic Replies like OOF with Microsoft Graph

Hi, a short blog post this time as Summer Vacation 2019 is here shortly! And on that note, the topic of the post is to show how you can get and set automatic replies with Microsoft Graph.

Exploring Azure MFA sign-in failures using Log Analytics

Most IT admins, pros and end users from organizations that use Office 365 and Azure AD will by now have heard about the big Azure MFA outage on Monday November 19. When something like this happens, it is important to get insights on which users that were affected, and in what type of scenarios they most experienced the problem. Microsoft MVP Tony Redmond wrote a useful blog post (https://office365itpros.com/2018/11/21/reporting-mfa-enabled-accounts/ ) on how to report on possible/potentially affected and MFA enabled users, and how to disable and re-enable those users.
