One of the most looked at topics on this blogpost is the ImmutableID series for Azure AD Connect and AADSync. And I wanted to give an update to this, given the latest versions of Azure AD Connect seemed to have adopted the idea to use the ms-ds-ConsistencyGuid (or any other value) to replace the ImmutableID used for synchronization. Don’t worry, please keep reading the other posts, as they clearly explain the how behind the idea of using the alternative ImmutableID.. and this post is just to tell you.. Microsoft has made the implementation a lot easier!
I know that many of my posts are about networking icw a Juniper SRX… as I happen to have one. But what if you don’t have such a “sophisticated” device that can handle multiple virtual routers, BGP and all the other stuff. Well I could say, buy one from e-bay.. but let’s see if I […]
When you have Azure Stack Development Kit deployed and in Routing mode (see earlier post). You can now also create S2S VPN connections to the tenants deployed inside Azure Stack. In my configuration I used BGP for the BGPNAT to advertise the newly assigned “external” IP addresses to my Juniper so that I don’t have […]
When you have your Azure Stack Development Kit, you might want to show it off to your customers or simply change the external IP address for some other reasons.. as we have seen earlier there is a dual NAT mode inside the Azure Stack Dev Kit box. The AzS-BGPNAT01 VM receives an external IP address […]
If you are playing around with Azure Stack Development Kit, you might come across the following error: While the error states: Unable to place Virtual Machines for specific class and size due to low memory capacity my immediate thought was to check the memory utilization on the host: With over 73Gb of memory left, I […]
Now that we have our Azure Stack Development Kit in routing mode, we can also send the BGP information from within the Stack to the Juniper Firewalls (or any FW you have..). This will ensure that the new “external IP addresses” that are assigned to our workloads are accessible via our intranet route information and […]
When you install Azure Stack Development Kit it is a completely isolated service with multiple networks. It means that your Azure Services (such as ADFS, the portal and AD) are not available outside of the box at all. But what if you wanted to use the Azure Stack DK from multiple computers? or in our […]
Side Note: The experience of ASDK as described in this post are based on the late July bits of Azure Stack on a Dell T710. Future experience might (I certainly hope so..) be better and more integrated.. The T710 described in an earlier topic was purchased to run Azure Stack. And while I’m still waiting […]
You invested in Office 365 for you users, but you don’t want to annoy them with prompts where they have to put their usernames and passwords in, certainly as you have domain joined devices. For Office 365 ProPlus License Activation utilizing the SSO capabilities, you either had to put in an ADFS infrastructure or.. available […]
