File Server in-place Domain Migration When migrating to a new domain a major part is the file server, especially if there are a lot of data and different permissions. Thankfully Microsoft has a very helpful tool called SubInACL. This tool can be used to read and update security permissions and is much helpful for file server in-place domain migration. The tool can be downloaded here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=23510 But after searching a lot there is not a specific
Azure Blob Storage… Recycle Bin!!!!!!! Remember all that red alerts when comes to deleting blobs? Ah, forget them! Microsoft Azure brought the Windows Recycle Bin to Azure and named it Soft delete. The soft delete feature basically is similar to the Windows recycle bin. Deleting a file from the Windows explorer, the Operating System instead of actually removing the file it moves it to the recycle bin. The file stays there and it can be undeleted at any time.

Use Service Endpoints to protect an Azure Storage Account inside an Azure Azure Virtual Network As we have already saw at a previews post, we can use the Service Endpoints to protect an Azure SQL Server inside an Azure Virtual Network. Today we will see how we can protect a Storage Account. First we need to enable the Microsoft.Storage Service Endpoint to an existing Virtual Network or create a new Virtual Network and enable it. At this port I am creating a new Virtual Network, so at the Azure P
Use Azure Security Center to protect your workloads At this series of posts we will make a walk along the Azure Security Center, to see some common usage scenarios. Like how we can use it to protect from a Virtual Machine to a whole Data Center. To make it easier to understand we will start with a typical Azure IaaS scenario. A Virtual Machine with IIS role to act as Web Server. The steps to create the VM is out this post’s scope. I will simply describe the process. First we create a Windows Ser
Bulletproof manage your Azure VMs Continuing the Azure Security Center posts, today we will see a new feature of the Security Center, called Just in Time VM Access. As best security practice, all the management ports of a Virtual Machine should be closed using Network Security Groups. Only the ports required for any published services should be opened, if any. However there are many occasions that we are requested to open a management port for administration or a service port for some tests for

This eliminates the need to expose the Virtual Machines RDP and SSH ports to the internet.</p> <p>The logic comes from the Jump Servers, but you don’t need to deploy any VMs and you don’t have to worry about the h
Working as a Cloud Consultant, Administrator, Architect, many companies will provide you guest (Azure AD B2B) access to their subscription.
