A bit late to the game, but here we go.
In mid-November, we launched a big piece of work we've been working on for a very long time. We call this the Authentication Methods Policy Convergence in #AzureAD. 1/n
With this preview, we have added more management control for auth methods that have been there in #AzureAD for a long time. The main problem with the old MFA Portal and SSPR blade was that it only allowed admins to enable/disable methods for ALL users, no group targeting. 2/n
With auth methods policies we added group targeting for all methods, exclusions and a migration control that lets you decide when you want these policies to apply to MFA and SSPR and ignore old settings. 3/n

1/ My #IoT Telegraph - A thread:
At the end of my talk @NottsTechfast on "The History of IoT", I closed with a show stopper demo. I built a homebrew Telegraph from wood, nails, spring, wire and other components I had around the house. @msdevUK, @MSIoTDevs @MicrosoftIoT #MVPBuzz
2/ The basic circuit diagram of the Telegraph is shown here. The Transmitter side has three 1.5v AA Batteries which connect through the rudimentary Morse Button out to an Electromagnet at the receiver.
3/ The receiver side has two 1.5v AAA batteries connected to three nails. The angled nail is attracted to the Electromagnet when it's activated, closing the circuit and activating the sounder.

I needed a space to deploy simple web page over weekend. Requirements:
- static web page
- custom domain (apex)
- HTTPS enabled.

I gave a try to #Azure storage as a web hosting. Thread: (hint: documentation sucks at least a bit).
1/
Storage: simple, yet useful service in all #cloud. #Azure storage host static website:
Pro: simple, cheap, custom domain
Con: No HTTPS for custom domain
Basic setup:
docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/st…
- Create storage account
- Enable web hosting
- Change public access level
Done. Works.
I have DNS zone on #Azure DNS. No apex ("naked") domain support. How to overcome HTTPS and custom zone support?
Go for #Azure CDN service - in my case, Verizon premium (rules). It might take some time to provision it.
Basic setup: docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cd…

I just sepent 40min on-boarding first teach in y kids school to #office365 @MicrosoftTeams - it doesn't have to be Microsoft, Google has similar offer. As IT we can help. Schools has little staff and might not be prepared.

1/n
@MicrosoftTeams How? It takes 15min to start entire tenant for #office365 education - go here; microsoft.com/en-us/educatio…

No credit card required, no domain required - they can work for a while on on.microsoft.com if you ask me

Then go create some users - there are teacher licenses and students licenses. There are ready scripts to do it in bulk.
