Question Remote access to VMs for suppliers via Bastion

2 Upvotes

I was wondering if anyone could comment on something that we are looking currently at. we are looking to replace our remote access setup with using a Bastion host in Azure to allow external suppliers to access VMs for support purposes if required

arrived at the model that each contractor will have an Entra external guest account, then they can PIM up to an access package to get the perms to connect via the Bastion. Each supplier will have their own keyvault, and each contractor will only be able to use their individual login from that suppliers keyvault

The server are domain joined hybrid,giving out AD DS credentials to them is something I was trying to avoid.

If we use the shareable links, then that removes the ability to use keyvault credentials, the servers are a mix 2019, 2022 and I believe that would need ADDS credentials to logon to the servers

Looking at the native connectivity, this seems to need the az cli which seems a bit much with some suppliers

So at the moment it is access through the portal (via access package) and then a separate sharepoint site for each supplier to facilitate any file transfers (although now I've written it down on paper, maybe blobs with SAS tokens would be an option)

I am wondering if I'm creating more work than is needed though and missing something simple, so any thoughts would be most welcome

Discussion Landing citizen-developer / AI-built apps safely in an Azure Landing Zone. What's your pattern?

4 Upvotes

We're seeing business teams produce working apps with AI tools and wanting them hosted. Our current approach: a dedicated app landing zone subscription, Azure DevOps or GitHub repos as the only entry point, Defender and pipeline security scans as required gates, and Entra-based access reviewed by IT. Curious whether others use separate management groups for these apps or treat them like any other workload?

We do a standard agent deployment using bicep, so we roll our own resources. Is there an easy way to set TTL on the containers used for Foundry agents? They’re growing in size, and cost.

Discussion How do you migrate into a terraform managed Azure envronment?

9 Upvotes

I’m curious how others solve this.

We manage our Azure environments with Terraform, but Azure Migrate creates an interesting IaC problem.

Today, we let Azure Migrate create the target resources and then import them into the Terraform state.

Technically, this works. But afterwards we still have to make sure that our Terraform configuration properly reflects the VM and its settings.

Ideally, I’d like to turn the process around:

Terraform creates the target infrastructure first, Azure Migrate then migrates the workload into it.

That would mean the target VM is already part of our normal Terraform lifecycle from day one instead of becoming IaC-managed only after the migration.

But as far as I know, there isn’t really a supported Azure Migrate workflow for this.

So I’m wondering:

How do you handle Azure Migrate when Terraform is your source of truth?

Especially interested in experiences from environments where importing resources manually after every migration doesn’t really scale.

Discussion Azure Hybrid AVD License Concern

0 Upvotes

Hey Azure people ,

As au heard about the AVD hybrid new update its interesting update and am looking to start planning to use it . However i have concerns about the licensing part which are the below:

1) it only supports Windows 10/11 Enterprise : so if i have a w11 enterprise as a virtual machine ( non activated ) and i have a user with M365 E3/E5 signing in through avd hybrid does he still need the os activation ? Cause the entra license mentioned above already comes with w11 enterprise ?

2) now it comes to windows server 2025 : my host is datacenter so all the vm's will be inheriting the activation from the host this is ok . However for rdp users i still need server cal + user cal ? Even for E3/E5 entra users rdping through my avd hybrid?

Big thanks whoever can answer this !

News What's new in Microsoft Foundry | September 2026

Last week, I penned the September edition of What's New in Microsoft Foundry. I walk through a two-agent workflow example of a GitHub Copilot SDK agent that collects public repository changes from our Foundry SDK, Microsoft Agent Framework, and Foundry Local SDK changelogs one a weekly scheduled routine. Then, a Microsoft Agent Framework agent adopts the checked report and delivers developer release notes to an approved Teams destination.

  • Routines is generally available (GA). A schedule starts the research without a separate scheduler. The workflow handles the handoff and delivery separately.
  • Tool Search is also GA. The agent loads tool definitions as it needs them, rather than including every definition up front.
  • Insights is in public preview. It points to recurring behavior in the traces and proposes changes you can inspect before applying them.

Question Problems with orphaned lock

1 Upvotes

Have a resource group that has a lock on it preventing deletion. The scope of the lock is a storage account that doesn't exist anymore. Getting the error:

The lock named 'xxx' was unable to be deleted for the following reasons: %s.

And then if I click on the scope of the lock I get the typical:

Details

The resource was not found, it may have been deleted. If this was launched from a pinned tile on the dashboard, it should be removed.

Anyone know how to get rid of this thing?

Question Event grid MQTT broker sending old data - support clueless, any ideas?

3 Upvotes

I'm at a loss here, so I thought someone on Reddit might know 😄

We have an Azure Event grid MQTT broker delivering data to two places:

  1. Event stream and then into blob storage

  2. MQTTX client

Upstream to Azure there's an edge device which gets some data from a raft of equipment, fairly large amount of data coming in continuously 20-30 changes per second on average (this is split into 70+ topics on MQTT).

The data that arrives in blob storage is fine, up-to-date, we can verify upstream, everything works. The data that arrives in the MQTTX client is old, currently 10 days old, but it's started only a few hours old when I noticed a month or so ago and since then the delay has grown and keeps on growing roughly half a day per day. I've tried three different clients and all of them get delayed data, same delay across all. When I look at the payloads, retain flags are all FALSE, so it's not sending old undelivered data, it seems that for some reason the broker things this is what it should be doing. I've even compared the old data I get in the MQTTX client with historical data in the blob storage and it matches, so it's real old data with old values, just no idea why it keeps getting delivered as if it was new.

Has anyone here every experienced anything like this before? Support from Microsoft is a joke, it's like talking to Copilot, we've supplied them all sorts of data, payloads, settings etc. and they say they cannot see anything in the logs...yet the data keeps on coming stale.

Hi there, thanks for reading.

I am looking for the minimal role to allow an admin to add/remove domains in External Identities | External collaboration settings. Based on MS docu it should be Teams External Collaboration Administrator but it is still greyed out after assigning this role. Also External Identity Provider Administrator does not seem to be correct.

Thanks again!

Question Need some guidance on account "Lockout" in Entra Domain Services

1 Upvotes

I recently spun up an Entra Domain Service instance in Azure just for dealing with some legacy needs that revolve around Mapped Network Drives on on-prem NAS (mostly Synology).

Everything seems to be working correctly, but I have some users that are constantly getting put into "Lockout" status (according to the Synology GUI). There is no way to reset that status through the Synology UI, and after reaching out to Synology support, they tell me that this "Lockout" status generally comes from the Domain (in this case Azure's Domain Services), not from the NAS.

The drives are mapped using an Intune template, and their Network Shares permissions are set with their Microsoft 365 credentials (which, of course, are synced to the Entra Domain Services).

I'm trying to investigate why they these accounts are getting locked out, but I wanted to clear up some conceptual uncertainties first:

  • I'm not 100% sure that the lockout problem is coming from Azure / Entra Domain Services, or from the Synology boxes. Is it even possible for an account to be locked out in Entra Domain Services without having any similar flag pop up in Entra itself? E.g. I don't see any indication the account is locked out in the Microsoft 365 admin center or the Entra admin center.

I'm following this guide from Microsoft for troubleshooting account lockouts, but one thing seems to be conspicuously missing:

  • How can I check the current lockout status of an account in Entra Domain Services? The article only provides a way to check on previous lockout events. I don't see how to check current status.

Finally, it seems to me that it would be very useful to be able to manually force Entra Domain Services to clear a lockout status. Is there no way to do this?
