I just want it back the way it was!!

My work today was for another partner who have oodles of license SKU’s, and I am frequently deploying 4-6 SKU’s per group.

Was a pain.

Will do @jeftek.com! Thanks for the suggestion.

My rant was prompted by spending two hours cleaning up a licensing mess, and I know this stuff!

Used to be great, going to the group in Entra and seeing which license had a conflict or issue.

Now it is license centric, and... not as clear.

It seems to have made a difference so far this month.

Anyone else doing anything with EASM?

So, you can add a Policy, which acts on a saved search to adjust the approved inventory; these are what I use:

While I want to see an expirying Cert, I don't want to retain a long record of expired ones (I know that put an onus on me to make sure they are all set up to renew correctly).

Nor do I want to pay to track Microsoft infrastructure that I can't influence.

I don't know if it is a bug or a change, but it appears to be down to two things:

1) Much more common use of Lets Encrypt, expirying every 90 days, but still tracked by EASM

2) Downstream Microsoft services, hosts, IPs, and Certs behind Intune and other services

And your regular reminder that this was the most annoying M365 decision ever made!

One or two…

Ha, I was only joking on the Copilot+ stuff.

For me, this is my first experience with a Pi like device; I have a Dell R720xd running some VMs and this would give it a run for its money.

I really want to try/learn some python and vision AI stuff; defect detection, document intelligence, etc.

So… is this a Copilot+ PC (as I wait for mine to arrive)

Absolutely!

Ok, now that's super!

I wonder, I wonder… I have mine on fairly heavy duty arms… it may work!

Feck!

Reason I go 4k is the vertical resolution; try doing a logic app or long doc on 1440 - not for me!

Ok! Thats a very different scenario! Does Google do much in the way of device management?

It’s not perfect, but it’s sufficiently functional for my needs on MacOS and improving all the time.
December 15, 2024 at 4:12 PM
Thanks for this!

I am Intune all the way
