Azure Password Writeback Failing

Hi All

I'm having an issue whereby I've installed Azure Active Directory Connect to get single signon working. All is showing healthy along with Password Writeback Enabled. All is synching OK and single signon working, but when I attempt to reset a users password I get the following in the Azure Portal:

"Unfortunately, you cannot reset this user's password due to a policy or error in your on-premises environment."

I cannot find any problem but in the event logs on the AAD server it also shows event ID 33009

TrackingId: f9167424-bf41-4b67-90ca-4fc16f1d800f, Reason: Synchronization Engine returned an error hr=80004001, message=Not implemented, Context: cloudAnchor: User_c0502f50-ca15-4527-8caf-79c8c05a7464, SourceAnchorValue: 4ZSaPy0nHESpBsVnxpraWA==, AdminUpn: admin@company.com, UserPrincipalName: user@company, Details: Microsoft.CredentialManagement.OnPremisesPasswordReset.Shared.PasswordResetException: Synchronization Engine returned an error hr=80004001, message=Not implemented

Azure AD Sync 1.2.70.0"

I've only found one guy who said he has the same problem and has to rebuild the AAD server to get it to work, I don't really want to do that.

Any suggestions/help greatly appreciated. I don't think its permissions as I;'ve guiven the account:

Reset password
Change password
Write lockoutTime
Write pwdLastSet

Do I have to enable SSPR (Self Service Password Rest), seen that somewhere but don't want to do this at this time ?

 



How to associate O365 subscription with Azure AD subscription

Can someone please help me with the following question.

I am reading a book about Azure and 0365

The book says first of all setup a trail version of 0365 Enterprise E5, so I can learn and do the practices in the book (makes sense). I did this successfully and now have an <MyDomain>.onmicrosoft.com  domain and email logon. 

Next to book says I should setup a subscription to Azure AD as I will need to do things like 'Azure AD Domain Services' to complete some of the practices later in the book.

Hers is the thing,

I know 0365 is backed by Azure AD, therefore if I create a user in the 0365 admin portal, I am actually creating a user in Azure AD tenant e.g.  <MyDomain>.onmicrosoft.com

I also realise an O365 subscription does not give you IaaS capabilities etc (as it is centred around SaaS). 

So I can see why the book might say I need to also setup an Azure AD tenant, however I cannot user <MyDomain>.onmicrosoft.com when setting up the Azure AD tenant as this is already taken by my O365 subscription 

I could create <MyDomain2>.onmicrosoft.com Azure AD tenant but, this would not appear to make much sense as any users in this tenant would be separate from my O365 tenant 

So I am a bit confused about the best thing to do as the book does not make it clear/

Is there a way when setting up an Azure AD tenant to use my O365 admin logon, and therein automatically associate a new Azure AD tenant (to be used for things like Iaas and Paas) to my current O365 tenant ?

If not I guess I will have to invite my O365 users to my new Azure AD tenant to use any services in my Azure AD tenant ?

Please help

Thanks

Linked ARM templates in Blob Storage with network filtering

(Posted in Azure Management Portal area, though this question is really about ARM template deployment - I couldn't find a better area)

I'm deploying linked ARM templates, as described here:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/resource-group-linked-templates

I'm using SAS tokens, as suggested. I'm also using (or at least desire to use) network security on the storage account hosting the templates in blob storage, to limit which vnets and ip addresses can access the blob containers storing the templates.

The network security is preventing me from deploying the ARM templates - I receive the following error:

"error": {"code": "InvalidContentLink","message": "Unable to download deployment content from 'https://<storageaccount>.blob.core.windows.net/<blob-container>/<arm-template>.jsonc?<sas token>'. The tracking Id is '<guid>'. Please see https://aka.ms/arm-deploy for usage details."
  }

If I turn off the network security for the storage account, the ARM template deploy works as expected. The errors indicate that the ARM deployment involves HTTP requests to the storage account to fetch the linked templates from an IP address that isn't allowed.

My preferred solution (feature request) is to either have the ARM deploy servers included in the "trusted Microsoft services" that I've granted access to the storage account:

Clik here to view.

or (another feature option) add another checkbox to allow Azure Management servers to access this storage account.

Alternatively, I'd like a programmatic way to identify the IP address (or IP range) that the Azure Management server will be fetching the linked templates from, so I can (in code) add that IP address range to the allowed set before deploying the linked templates.

This problem isn't just about linked templates - it applies to any files which are hosted in a storage account, and fetched from a server I don't directly control (Azure Management servers) as part of the deploy process. Eg cloud-init files referenced from VM ARM templates.

The "easy" answer is just to turn off network security, which would mean I'm fully reliant on SAS tokens as a single line of defense. What I don't like about that is that theft or loss of a storage account key could make us vulnerable, so I'd strongly prefer 2 layers of security.

Migrate Azure Resources Pros and Cons

Hi, I'm currently working on a solution at Company A which leverages Office 365 (SharePoint) and Azure (specifically with resources Web Apps, Web Jobs, Redis Cache and SQL Server). Company A just got acquired by Company B which has their own Office 365 and Azure tenant.

For O365, the plan is to migrate all SharePoint sites from Company A's O365 to Company B's O365.

For Azure, the plan is to keep both Azure tenants.

What are the pros and cons to keeping the resources in Company A's Azure rather than migrating the resources to Company B's Azure?

Azure CLI Inactivity Timeout

Hello,

I was trying to find out if there are any session expiration or inactivity timeout for Azure CLI V2 that is logged in a Linux VM. For example if a user forgot to log out from the Azure CLI, will it expire/timeout for a certain time XXminutes or XX hours?

Thanks in advance for those who will answer.

Secondary type is 'Readable'. Unable to change it as the section is Locked.

While configuring Geo Replication for a SQL server pass database the option to select secondary type is showing 'readable'. whereas I want to make make secondary database 'Non readable' to save some cost (if any?). But the section is showing locked for me. The tier , elastic pool and all other configuration are same is both primary and secondary.

Trying to understand how device compliance policy works

Hoping someone can clarify a few things regarding configuring device compliance policies.

First, if I have a device which is a member of two different groups (Group1 and Group2), and I specify to Include Group1 in the compliance policy, but Exclude Group2, I'm assuming the policy will not apply to the device (thinking exclude takes precedence) and the device would be marked as "non compliant"...is that correct?

Now, assuming the above is true, if I also enable the setting "Mark devices with no compliance policy assigned as Compliant", would this device then be marked as Compliant?

Thank you for any clarification or details you can provide.

How to create a policy that enforces a tag but not it's value.

Hey all,

I'm trying to make a policy that enforces the use of specific tags for example costcode and owner (I don't mind if these are separate policies)I know Azure has one that enforces tag and value but that doesn't work for me because the value of the tag will always be different.

Any help will be good.

Cheers,

Nick.

What is the feature that keeps application servers and database servers in ARM

Can server A and server B with a LB move between availability zones?    





dsk

If we have three web server which need to load balance traffic do we use a LB or cross zone scale sets?

We have three web servers where we want both balancing of the incoming traffic as well as redundancy of availability zones.

Are regional zones used for both HA and redundancy?

Should we use a cross zone scale set or should we use a LB?

Does it make sense to use two servers in a cross zone scale set?  

If we have a system composed of a SQL AG which requires a internal LB and a application server does it make sense to availability zones if the connection between application server and SQL AG's must have a very low latency?  

What do you recommend if we are wanting to keep both the SQL AG and Application in the same regional zone however you also want resiliency from a database location (regional zone) going offline (ie flooding)?
