@lukasberan.com @merill.net any change the authenticator app be out into the enterprise app catalog so we can exclude it from conditional app policies for passkey enrolment? It gets caught by our require app protection / compliant device policies stopping passkey setup.

Up early to head to the big smoke (London) for a new starter on boarding. Left the house and it was dark, got a lovely sunrise on the trip down to NWP, and now sat in first class on route to PAD (I paid for my upgrade)

The @jisc.bsky.social cloud assist app now has some basic active directory health checks and is now a verified app.

JCA BETA will be coming in January with a v1 release end of March (hopefully).

The AD health checks will be expanded once Jisc's CSIRT/SOC give some advice I'm sure.

When did admin.cloud.microsoft/sharepoint become a thing???? No more tenant-admin.sharepoint.com 🤯.

p.s. I know admin.microsoft.com/sharepoint used to redirect, but no redirect anymore.

New feature rolling out to @jisc.bsky.social's cloud assist reports, OS rollup. The device summary report will make reporting for 2.4 of @ncscuk.bsky.social's cyber essentials even easier.
