The tasks you always do bored
Sam Erde maintains a repo on Github with tools like Update-MSModules -which updates all relevant MS modules (M365, Azure, Graph), and a lot of other useful tools.
Locksmith – Find and fix Active Directory misconfigurations
AD (yes onprem AD not Entra ID, still active in most organizations), is a complex thing and needs constant maintenance. With Locksmith you have the tools to analyze your AD and fix possible threads.
Find misconfigured and dangerous logon scripts
ScriptSentry, reads login scripts and checks if there are flaws in it – give this a try if you use login-scripts in your AD.
Merry Christmas and a happy new year 2024 !
