Original episode on Entra.Chat / Entra.News
I joined Merill Fernando on Entra.Chat to discuss practical approaches to managing and securing Microsoft Entra environments. We covered the realities of BYOD, organizing Conditional Access policies, and using administrative units to scope management permissions.
A central topic was operational groups: automating user classification by registered authentication methods so group membership can support more targeted security controls. We also discussed authentication methods migration, managing SMS and other legacy methods, and choosing between extension attributes and group membership. The episode wraps up with cloud-based automation as an alternative to running management scripts on servers.
It was such an honor to join Merill, and I hope to join him again in the future. Be sure to visit the original episode for the operational groups scripts and related Microsoft documentation.
