Azure

I use Azure CLI from time to time. So, it´s a good idea to update that module… For example, I use Azure CLI for renewing SPN´s a described at How to create or renew Service Principal Names in Azure Active Directory. When I checked the latest version with az --version , I saw my outdated version: “You have 52 updates available. Consider updating your CLI installation.” So, the best method is to use Chocolatey - The package manager for Windows in an elevated command prompt as described at Azure CLI.

PowerApps are a great way to develop low-code apps for various platforms. With the big success of PowerApps and Flow, the number one request of many customers was: How can people *outside *my company use PowerApps? Well, soon there will be a way with PowerApps Portals! So far, using a PowerApp requires a login in the organization´s tenant. In real scenarios, there are of course many use cases in which the provision of a PowerApp for customers, partners, suppliers, etc. makes sense. So, there´s a huge demand for sharing PowerApps with external users. ...

If you are a Microsoft 365 developer, you will be working with the Microsoft Graph to access data in the cloud. Of course, every product needs a mascot. So, the Microsoft Graph team created their own mascot: Welcome, Microsoft Graph g-raph (giraffe). Get the artwork for the Microsoft Graph g-raph here! For me, the g-raph is a very cute and perfect visualization of “connecting the dots” within the Microsoft 365 services with Microsoft Graph technology. ...

At Microsoft Ignite conference last September, we demoed an approach for a self-built Office 365 Groups Governance Toolkit. Since Microsoft 365 is an evergreen service and continues to evolve, today we have more group settings available and we extend our provisioning function to work with group naming policies as well. See here how this can be accomplished by including new Graph requests.
