Azure Stack HCI is Microsoft’s preferred way of delivering a hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) solution. It’s hosted on-premises and managed in Azure. Recently, Microsoft changed Azure Stack HCI to enable admins to configure single-node Azure Stack clusters. So it’s competing with Windows Server for additional use cases.

Auvik is cloud-based, easy-to-use network monitoring and management software that provides true visibility, control, and key insights into your network and its performance.

Many organizations run Microsoft Hyper-V as a highly available role in Windows Server Failover Clusters (WSFC). Hyper-V clusters allow you to scale out easily by simply adding another Hyper-V host to the cluster. Let’s see if we can accomplish this using Windows Admin Center.

Monitoring business-critical resources on-premises and in the cloud requires the right tools and solutions. AdRem Software NetCrunch 12 is the latest major release, adding cloud monitoring, configuration monitoring, new sensors, an upgraded look, and many new features.

Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) has long been a popular free deployment solution, allowing organizations to roll out image-based installations of Windows. Now that Windows 11 has been released, many organizations may be looking to update their images to deploy the newest version of the operating system.

Certificate-based authentication is an extremely robust and secure mechanism for validating a user’s identity. However, until recently, you had to deploy Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) to make it available for Azure AD. Microsoft has recently introduced an Azure AD certificate-based authentication service (Azure CBA), which significantly simplifies implementing certificate-based authentication.

Getting rid of unsecure password authentication is becoming a priority for many businesses. Companies using Microsoft’s Azure Active Directory have many options to implement passwordless authentication. One of these is using a FIDO2 security key.

Password managers help users juggle numerous accounts and passwords with ease compared to memorizing multiple accounts. Most users will not only want to have the passwords available for their Windows workstation, but also on their mobile device. How can we sync KeePass for Windows with Android and iOS?

Have you been pwned? The new compromised credentials protection feature of Enzoic for Active Directory allows you to monitor your AD users’ exact username and password combination from the latest pwned (breached) passwords available to hackers.

Many businesses use Microsoft Intune as part of Endpoint Manager for remote client provisioning, configuration, and management. However, until just a few months ago, remote help capabilities were missing from this endpoint management solution. This changed at the end of 2021 with the new remote help offering. Let’s take a closer look at this feature.

KeePass is an open-source password manager used to house passwords and other information. However, using modern cloud storage and security technologies, you can use KeePass in a hybrid approach to access passwords securely across devices using cloud drives such as Dropbox, OneDrive and Google Drive.
