📮New blog post; My Favourite Security-focused GPO: Stopping Script Execution with File Associations
There are many group policies I recommend for reducing the risk of malicious script execution, but file association is by far one of my favourites.
I couldn’t find a post on how to implement this policy across the entire domain, so I wrote this quick guide. I hope you find it helpful and share it with your sys admins!

Folks, a quick thread to help you transition to using the Microsoft 365 admin centre to manage licenses.
On September 1, the ability to manage licenses in the Entra portal is going away and you will need to switch to using the Microsoft admin center.

Important announcement for IT Professionals!
Starting March 30, 2024, Microsoft will deprecate the following three PowerShell modules:
1. Azure AD
2. Azure AD-Preview
3. MS Online
𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐚𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧:
This change will affect your organization if you use any of these PowerShell modules.
𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐨 𝐭𝐨 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐞:
If you are currently using any of the deprecated modules, you will need to take action before March 30, 2024. Create a list of your scripts and upgrade them to Microsoft Graph APIs and Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK to ensure continued support and functionality.
𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐬 𝐚𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝟑𝟎, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒:
After this date, the only support offered for these PowerShell modules will be support in migrating to Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK. Only security fixes will be offered for these PowerShell modules after deprecation is announced. Once these modules are deprecated, they will continue to work for a minimum of six (6) months before being retired.

If anyone else is noticing an insane increase in phishing from .onmicrosoft[.]com subdomains - make yourself a transport rule that looks like this. Happy hunting.
You may want to add an except IF for your tenant's .onmicrosoft domain to ensure you don't nix anything you don't intend...
