@IAMERICAbooted We’ve been on this journey and feels like we’re just getting started. This is our IGA year and MFA migration. Fun times to try and balance UX and security.

People would be surprised to know that a lot of organizations they think would be security mature, are not. Maybe it's an American thing. There's always parts of the organization that needs a lot of help and IAM is one that comes up all the time. IAM has one of the hardest jobs in security because of user experience and service desk tickets if users have trouble with a change. In most environemnts, IAM is very complex with multiple IdPs in play, on-prem, SaaS, multi-cloud, and personas. I've yet to see one organization that doesn't need a lot of help in this area due to the complexity of the infrastructure and balancing user experience.

Microsoft Entra just got a "Superpower" 🦸‍♂️ The March 2026 updates are here, and they are a game-changer for Identity Admins. I’m joined by MVPs @NathanMcNulty, @rucam365, and @Thomas_Live to go behind the scenes of: ✨ Native Backup & Recovery (The "Holy Grail" feature) ✨ Difference Reports (Version control for your tenant) ✨ Shadow Tenant Discovery (Finding what’s lurking in your org) From accidental deletions to "sneaky" background changes, we’re showing you how the pros use these new tools to stay in control.

Richer markdown support coming to OneDrive and SharePoint. First big step rolling out now.

Cloudflare launching a WordPress successor? Got to love a company that surprises everyone with a history of great April 1st launches, ranging from 1.1.1.1 resolver to now this!

Philadelphians, I hear you! Our budget proposes a $7.1 Million investment to launch the ONE PHILLY POTHOLE SQUAD. @StreetsPhila will have more crews, more equipment, and more action to keep our roads in good repair. With dedicated maintenance teams in each of the city’s six highway districts, the Pothole Squad will respond faster and proactively patrol neighborhoods to fix potholes and roadway defects across Philadelphia!

Fun times ahead

@tomwarren @davidfowl Agreed - been learning from his posts for years and his passion for teaching and developing this community is just one of the things I’m looking forward to!

it's very good news for Windows power users that Scott is involved in the Windows 11 improvement effort. Microsoft is planning to ship these improvements every month throughout 2026

The team and I have spent the past several months analyzing feedback from the community. What came through was the voice of people who care deeply about Windows and want it to be better. Read this blog post to learn more about what we're doing in response as we look to raise the bar on Windows 11 quality. Please keep the feedback coming, to help us shape the future of Windows together. blogs.windows.com/windows-inside…

We just released Claude Code channels, which allows you to control your Claude Code session through select MCPs, starting with Telegram and Discord. Use this to message Claude Code directly from your phone.

@VishnuNath Good luck Vishnu!

After an incredible run, I’ve decided to move on from Microsoft. Grateful for the journey—from SCOM, Windows, and Mobile (Edge, SwiftKey, Launcher, To Do, Phone Link) to leading OneNote’s resurgence and building Copilot Notebooks. Proud of what we built. Excited for what’s next!

🚨 TASKS IS LIVE 🚨 We are inviting U.S. users off the waitlist to try Copilot Tasks. If you’re on the list and didn’t get in yet, we have more invites are rolling out over the next few weeks. International friends stay tuned! Get on the list here:

@merill @IAMERICAbooted This is great! Any chance work is going into the MyApps experience too?

Identity just got a new front door ✨ Microsoft is previewing a new homepage for myaccount.microsoft.com Users can now: 🔔 See expiring groups ⚡ Approve access requests 🔐 Setup MFA 👤 Get personalized recommendations All in one unified portal experience. Big improvement for identity UX.

@manicode Looks like you'll have more coffee, lunch and dinner invites than hours in the day.

Yes, I am going to #RSAC

@gabsmashh @AccidentalCISO Truth!

a SIEM is not a dumping ground for every log your company generates. if your strategy is “ingest everything so we don’t miss anything,” you have built a data lake instead and your analysts are going to drown in it (pun intended).

Tomorrow we announce the winner of the 2026 BIG EAST Men's Basketball Coach of the Year presented by #InvescoQQQ! Who’s your pick? 👀 @InvescoUS x @BIGEAST

@IsForAt Been looking for something similar too. Landed on smallvictories.com/collections/bo… for now.

Who knows the nicest place to order thank you cards from? I finally ran out of my beautifully embossed and gilded cards with wonderful envelopes that had my name and address beautifully printed on back. I am looking to get a new set for me, and sets for all my kids. who has good recommendations. a Google search brings up all sorts of tryef!

The Codex app is now live on Windows. The app runs both natively and in WSL, with integrated terminals for PowerShell, Command Prompt, Git Bash, or WSL. We also built the first Windows-native agent sandbox — using OS-level controls to block filesystem writes outside your working folder and prevent outbound network access unless you explicitly approve it. Plus: 7 new “Open in …” apps and 2 new Windows skills (WinUI + ASP.NET). Try it and tell us what you think.

Struggling to understand the impact of the upcoming passkey rollout in Microsoft Entra tenants (MC1221452)? ME TOO. So I had this flow diagram created.

Fully automated deployment of Maester for long term monitoring, including optional Web App secured by Entra authentication 😎 Install azd and azure cli, then: azd init -t nathanmcnulty/azd-maester cd solution-name azd up github.com/nathanmcnulty/…
