Intune Troubleshooting 101 Have you ever had a problem deploying policy to devices in Intune? Is there ever an application that you know should be on a device, that you can’t seem to get installed? As you already know – sometimes things do not go as expected for several reasons. Maybe a device was not connected to the internet to receive policy. Maybe the app failed to install because an end user uninstalled the app after it was installed. The point here is even when things are set up perfectly, sometimes there are things out of our control as administrators of the technology. What Constitutes a Fantastic Device Experience? Seasoned professionals might view a 5-minute boot-up sequence as the perfect opportunity to get a cup of coffee. But the freshest talent entering the workforce — modern workers who grew up with tablets and smartphones — are less than impressed by high-friction workplace device experiences.? FTP user isolation failing with access denied Recently? I was working on a case where we wanted to setup? FTP User level isolation. The file has not been pre-compiled error and solution This intermittent error may show up in Event Viewer when your application fails to load: “The file has not been pre-compiled, and cannot be requested”. The intermittent nature of the issue makes it difficult to troubleshoot it but there are a couple of possible root causes and solutions.Assessing your Zero Trust readiness with the Microsoft Maturity Model The traditional firewall (VPN security model) assumed you could establish a strong perimeter and then trust that activities within that perimeter were “safe.” As we digitally transform our companies, we need to transform our security model to one which assumes breach. The model should explicitly verify activities and automatically enforce security controls using all available signal, and employ the principle of least privileged access. This model is commonly referred to as “Zero Trust.” ADF Mapping Data Flows for Databricks Notebook Developers Here are 3 examples of how to build automated, visually designed ETL processes from hand-coded Databricks Notebooks ETL using ADF using Mapping Data Flows.

Whenever I demonstrate containers to an audience of ITPros, and I use the docker run command to spin up a container, the question that comes back is "How much memory is this container using?" or something like "How do I set how many processors this container can use?". This is a natural concern for admins since ensuring their applications and hosts have the proper amount of resources and don't interfere with one another is one of the primary tasks of a System Admin.

Microsoft Intune helps high-security customers authenticate using derived credentials on mobile Many high-security organizations offer secure passwordless access to corporate data using smart cards. The end user does not have their username and password. Employees and contractors use physical smart card readers to authenticate themselves for secure access to desktops and laptops. Smart cards provide seamless and secure authentication to apps, websites, Wi-Fi, and VPN as well as enable the use of S/MIME to sign and encrypt email.?With mobile user productivity becoming commonplace in enterprises, many government and high security customers wonder how to embrace mobility while still maintaining a highly secure environment.?When we think about a standard mobile device enrollment experience, the end user begins by entering their username and password which enrolls their device. Various policies, including certificates, are then pushed to the device without further user interaction.
