@MPECSInc I see it has in place upgrade as one of the options. My company seems dead against that even though I’ve not had issues my self previously. What’s the best practice recommendation there? (Or your personal recommendation?)

WINDOWS SERVER UPGRADE EXPERIENCE SURVEY The Windows Server Team is looking for some input on the Windows Server Upgrade Experience! :0) forms.cloud.microsoft/pages/response…

@richardhicks Same. 😃 Also for Logic Apps errors very useful / good at improving on those.

One of the things the AI coding tools like #Claude has helped me significantly is with error handling. In the past I would just asume that everything would work. Not any more. :) #powerhell

@PJ_Marcum @IntuneSuppTeam Happens all over the place in MS ecosystem, Azure DNS is another one that's painful for that, you search for a record, think it doesn't exist, then realise you didn't click View More a bunch of times to load all the data. :-/

@IntuneSuppTeam do you know if there are any plans to fix the search feature in remediations? It drives me insane that it basically doesn't work if you have a lot of scripts (175). I must select "view more" over and over to populate the entire list before I can find anything

@NathanMcNulty True. My biggest annoyance though? It doesn’t do managed certificates like App Service does, it’d be so good if it auto rotated its SSL certs.

Entra App Proxy continues to be one of the biggest hidden gems of Entra P1 For over a decade, we've been able to stop exposing risky apps to the Internet by routing through agents with outbound connections to Azure I don't care what vendor you use, just get it off the Internet

@richardhicks Oo that’s really interesting, good initial testing!

@steveprentice It will take more time for workloads to fully support PQC, though. Details here: directaccess.richardhicks.com/2026/05/18/mic…

@UK_Daniel_Card So yes, PINs on all laptops (cos we don’t really have desktops). But I’ve been vaguely arguing to remove them… looks like my arguments are out of the window now tho eh! Doh. Coincidentally it’d be lovely if autopilot had a built in user flow for setting one easily.

Who has BitLocker + PIN enabled in their enterprise?

@merill Best of luck! Definitely Microsoft’s loss.

Hey folks, some personal news. I’m leaving Microsoft. It’s been a privilege to work here, and I’m incredibly grateful for the people I’ve worked with, the customers I’ve learned from, and the support so many of you have shown me along the way. I’m now starting out on my own and chasing a dream I’ve had for a long time: building software that makes security more practical, accessible, and useful for the people doing the work every day. Why now? With all the change happening around us, I feel like new possibilities are opening up. I want to spend this next chapter building things I care deeply about, solving problems that matter, and doing work that brings me joy. I’m excited. Nervous. Grateful. My newsletters, podcast, Maester and other tools will all be part of this next chapter, and I’ll share more in the coming weeks. Thank you for being part of the journey so far. I’m looking forward to building this next chapter with your support.

Sad for Portugal. #eurovision

@rucam365 @UK_Daniel_Card 😆 Donno what you mean!

Impressed so far with Entra Prompt Injection Protection via TLS inspection. It has decent OOTB support but there is one glaring omission that I can't really believe (unless I'm missing something?)

Hey whisky peeps. Talk to me about @DalmoreWhisky. Am I right that normal whisky people can no longer visit unless they sell a kidney?

@spirit_speyside Hi. You emailed out to folks a while back about A95 closures, is that still likely to cause problems at all over the week do you know? Thanks.

@AdamGell It’s a bit frustrating eh, but I’ve learnt to just download and use the BMR (rather than vanilla ISO) and I’ve been ok since. Not ideal granted, but works.

this is so fucking dumb. JUST GIVE ME THE DRIVERS

This time in two weeks I’ll be up in Speyside, Scotland enjoying the delights of the @spirit_speyside whisky festival. Will anyone I know on here be there too? 🙂🥃 #SOS2026

I am not an adult

@ryanyates1990 @UK_Daniel_Card Dammit, I just screen shotted that to post. 😆 Too slow!

@UK_Daniel_Card Nor am I

@dcfc_jamie92 @jardinecaj @Tesco You must not read much of what Trump writes then. 😆

@jardinecaj @Tesco this is the most retarded shit i've ever read

Dear @Tesco I used scan & go today. Got to the checkout had to wait for a member of staff. Thinking because I had wine I’m like ok that’s fine…..No….member of staff came and started scanning my shopping 33 items from my 66. Then asked if I’d scanned everything 😡 Why?

@laurencetratt I assume there’s a German word for that.

Last week I upgraded the encryption I use to be post-quantum. I then realised that if enough people do the same, "using quantum for decryption" probably becomes a meaningless use case. Is there a word which captures the concept of "changing X effects the future of Y, even though X and Y seem distinct"?

@AdamGell Probably needs to work better before they bother with that.

Intune really needs a UI overhaul

@techspence Try working in local gov then. 😆

I can’t imagine having IT/Security people who care deeply about securing the organization, and then treat them poorly and not pay them adequately.
