I reviewed the document to ensure I understand everything before I apply it.

So, what to do?

According to Microsoft Document, there are changes in IP Ranges and Service Tags for both Public and Government Cloud. These changes are part of the Secure Feature Initiative (SFI) and must be completed before December 2nd, 2025.

Entities (companies and government) need to configure their outbound firewall traffic for Intune or Azure to match Microsoft's new ranges. This must be done on the firewall, router, proxy, and NSG levels, also by adding the new ranges without removing any existing network or firewall configuration. Include a new Azure Front Door tag, ‘AzureFrontDoor.MicrosoftSecurity’. To download the document (JSON) file for the government and the public, click the links below.

If you search you should find these ranges:

This change is needed for both MDM and MAM. If these changes in the network do not happen, the end user may have issues with device communication with Intune and applications in the cloud, policies, etc.

New LAPS for Windows 11 24H2

Image
  Windows LAPS automatically manages and backs up the password of a local administrator account on devices joined to Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) or Windows Server Active Directory. This feature helps protect against pass-the-hash and lateral-traversal attacks, enhances security for remote help desk scenarios, and facilitates device recovery if they become inaccessible.   As many of you know, LAPS for Entra joined devices was announced around 2023 and has worked perfectly since then on Entra, Hybrid, joined, and On-premises devices via AD as well. One of the big challenges we all know is that the first version (if I can say that) of LAPS did not allow you to create a new custom admin account or change the existing admin account, which meant we had to use custom configuration or scripts to do that.   Microsoft announced the new LAPS about 3 weeks ago via Arnab Mitra, Sr. Program Manager at Microsoft, and it was a great announcement. Let us go ahead and co...

Windows Autopatch Hotpatch

Windows Autopatch Hotpatch I am sure all of you guys are about to get busy for Thanksgiving! this is a short blog about Hotpatch. This morning, while I was checking for updates regarding my tenants and looking for the new hardware inventory setting, I was pleased to see that the new setting “ Hotpatch for Windows ” had appeared in my tenant. Before we discuss it, let’s first go over the details. We are all familiar with quality updates and the security patches released on the second Tuesday of each month. Microsoft has created a hotpatch for Windows 11 24H2 that allows these updates to be applied without requiring a restart. Typically, after monthly updates, the device must restart to install all security patches and to update the build number (the last four digits of Windows). According to Microsoft, there will be two types of updates each quarter. The first update will occur in January, April, July, and October and will include a full security patch and new features, requiring the de...

How to block TikTok or other social media

Image
Have you considered blocking social media platforms like Facebook, TikTok, and others on corporate devices?   Many government entities in our community want to restrict access to social media on their official devices rather than personally owned devices (BYOD). There are several reasons for this. For example, in the USA, TikTok was blocked and unblocked.   There are many ways to do this, such as Firewall, Network, Microsoft Defender, and so on. However, I will discuss how to do it via Intune. Create a Policy:         Create a New Policy: Name it as you want and add the description.     Configuration settings > add settings > and search for “URL blocking” and pick both Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge. And pick the one for the device, not the user, did not work for me. Then add the URL you want to block to “ Block access to a list of URLs (Device)”. I went a little further by disallowing the users to run the TikTok application “...
