As a Cloud Consultant working with products that are part of the Office 365 and the Microsoft Enterprise Mobility +Security Suite (EMS), I often get a lot of questions about multi-factor authentication (MFA), and how to get started. Most customers today has a strategy about MFA when employees are trying to access corporate company data from outside the company perimeter. But when customers are using cloud services like Office 365, OneDrive and SharePoint that boundary moves from a physical boundary to the user identity. Therefore the requirement for multi-factor authentication is something that most customers wants to implement as part…
Over the last 12 months, I’ve been involved in more than 25 projects with customers that wanted to enable one or more Azure AD Premium and Enterprise Mobility + Security (EMS) features that’s only available in the Classic Azure Portal. And every time I get the same questions about how to access and configure this feature.During this period Microsoft has already announced the GA for Azure Active Directory, but there are still a few features that you need to configure in the classic Azure Portal.

Misspelled Company Names and users with no company name specified…
This week, I created 2 new Intune tenants. One for a new customer and one for a new lab that I was preparing for our SCUG.DK User Group Meeting next week.Just to get things started, I created a simple compliance policy that check if the device is jailbroken and got the following error (in both tenants):An error occurredAn error occurred whilst saving. Request ID: 6e6d9c36-a213-40be-941a-190aa6ab2defNot much to work with, but I finally figured it out…If you configure the “Jailbroken devices” settings, and leave the “Mobile Thread Level” to the default (Not Configured) it will fail when you try to save…
