The Office Deployment Tool (ODT) has been around for many years now, although you may be unfamiliar with how it works and the tasks you can accomplish using it. In this article, I will focus on the uses of the ODT and the XML file itself rather than where it fits into a wider deployment process.

I was working on a ticket this week in which a user would try to join a meeting, and Microsoft Teams would freeze for several minutes, waiting for the audio and video to initialize. To solve the issue, I had to change the Teams permissions to allow access automatically to the cam and the microphone. In this post, I will show you how you can change the cam permissions for any kind of conferencing app for your entire organization.

Robert Pearman wrote a new post, Restricting registration to Azure AD MFA from trusted locations with Conditional Access policy 6 months, 1 week ago
You may be familiar with the Conditional Access policy feature in Azure AD as a means to control access to your tenant. In addition to granting or blocking access to the tenant as a whole, it is possible to restrict certain user actions. One important action you should consider controlling is from where a user can enroll in multifactor authentication (MFA).

Robert Pearman wrote a new post, Azure AD MFA with number matching and temporary access passes 6 months, 1 week ago
Microsoft will enable the new number matching feature by default in February 2023. Number matching for Azure AD MFA is almost the reverse of the multi-factor authentication you know. With number matching, a number is displayed to a user when they sign in, and instead of entering this number on the device, they log in to confirm the number on the MFA device. Temporary Access Pass is another feature that allows you to help end users who are unable to meet sign-in criteria.

Does it show the MFA requirement is satisfied in the sign in logs?
Do you have your CA policy set to ‘all the requirements’ or ‘any of’ ?

Find users with administrator rights on certain computers using PowerShell 7 months, 3 weeks ago
Yes you can do that. The string containing the username is split and only the username section is kept.
If you look at $uName, this is $name[2] replacing the , with nothing.
So you will want to get $name[1] which will contain either the host name of the pc or the domain name. It will need some tidying as it will possibly contain other characters. Once you have it tidied up you can do something like $dname = $name[1]
$uname = $dname, $name[2] -join “”This is example code and won’t work if you just paste it in.

Recently, it appears that Chrome and Edge notifications are being hijacked into pushing people onto fake antivirus websites, such as the one in the example image below. As part of my work on the helpdesk, I often see firsthand how users are tricked into opening PDFs or clicking on links. Thus, we decided to block browser notifications. The procedure described here also works for Microsoft Edge.
