Tool to get Azure AD Sign in reports without the need of coding in powershell

Well I got a request from one of my customer who had an Office 365 subscription with more that 20000 users and wanted to know the list of administrators who were managing the Azure AD. Well, as usual the issue was that getting the list from the UI was an option that needed scrolling of multiple pages. Hence, I was told to craft a script for him which would give him all the information he needed. Surprisingly, my script also revealed information about service principals regist

Often admins have complained that they are not able to assign Licenses to users on basis of groups. Although, if you are a powershell geek, you could have done this. However, for a layman it was a tedious process. Fortunately, Microsoft has listened to your feedback. You can now add licenses to users on the basis of Group membership. The video below will show you the steps involved. This shall require you to login to the Azure Portal. In my case I have created a Group called

Recently I happened to come across a situation where a customer requested to get group membership of all groups in a consolidated output.

Before we get started make sure that you are running this script that has the RSAT tools or has the Active Directory Modules. The script is as follows:- Make sure that you run this in Powershell ISE, if you are copying this from the website, else download the same from here:- https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5Cte9cWiLlmeVpYRk5iRT

Recently, I dealt with situation where a customer was migrating AD objects from one forest to another. Now, there are many situations why you would wish to do that. In my case , the person was decomissioning Server 2003 and had setup Server 2012 R2. In my previous article related to HardMatching the user accounts I had descibed that once a user is synced the ObjectGUID on the local AD is stamped on the cloud object as a source anchor as a base64 value. But this operation only

I had came across an unusual situation where the user account was synced from AD and the password sync was working just as fine as I was able to reset passwords with no errors, ironically with some users who had the password set to never expire, started getting messages on office 365 to reset the password as it had expired and this blew up my mind for a while.
