Przemyslaq Klys has been mentioned here already a couple of times, here is his newest achievement. Active Directory keeps a SID-History for migrated domains, so two or more SID´s are stored behind a user account. This can be a problem in large AD´s and thats why CLEANUP Monster exists. If you maintain a large AD and want to get rid of old SID-entries, read this article.

Copilot in Azure is the future helper in the Azure Portal, with its vast options and capabilities. Given that Copilot may do substantial things in your subscription, you may want to disable it for certain users. Baki Onur Okutucu looked inti this and write a blog post with an how-to.
Have a great time / R.
