The hosting venue has changed to serve you better.
It’s been a few months since I’ve updated this tool, but feedback from two individuals led me to a couple of small updates:
Today’s a bugfix day! Woo!
One of my peers, @DerrickBaxter, brought a few issues to my attention that I resolved:
I’ve also updated a few other things, including updating the checks for DCOM/OLE permissions, trusted sites, and execution policies.… [ Continue reading ]
Greetings!
While working with a new customer this week, I was reviewing the Azure AD Connect prerequisites, and it turns out we have updated the prereq list as well made some information public about what the installation wizard checks for.
As such, I have updated the tool.… [ Continue reading ]
Hey!
It’s been a while since I’ve updated this tool. One of my peers, Didier Akakpo, pointed out that we have a new endpoint to add for Self-Service Password Reset Writeback.
As such, I’ve updated the tool to include this endpoint under $OptionalResources for Commercial and GCC-Moderate tenants.… [ Continue reading ]
It’s literally been a year since I’ve updated it–mainly because we haven’t made any significant endpoint changes.
I did detect some CRL endpoint updates and a few other odds and ends for Worldwide Commercial and GCC Moderate, so I’ve updated the AAD Network Communications Test tool accordingly.… [ Continue reading ]
This week, I’ve got a few updates for the AAD Network Communications Test!
Install-Script -Name AADConnect-CommunicationsTest
Right before sending a customer the link for the tool, I decided to test it and noticed that I encountered an unexpected credential prompt.

While troubleshooting an issue for a peer today running the Exchange Hybrid Configuration Wizard, I suspected that the environment might have an authenticated proxy in the way. So, I dug out some code I used in the AAD Connect Network Test for Invoke-WebRequest.… [ Continue reading ]
Hey, all! One AAD tool update deserves another!
Every so often, I check in to make sure I’m keeping the AAD Connect Network Test Tool as fresh as I can. I’ve made a few changes to the way it works (hopefully which you all think is for the better). … [ Continue reading ]
It’s been a while since I’ve updated this popular tool, and the need was brought to my attention by a peer who noticed an attribute being exported to on-premises AD (but failing):
As it turns out, the msDS-KeyCredentialLink is required for Windows Hello for Business Hybrid.… [ Continue reading ]
In part 1 of our adventure, we built an Azure AD lab to support configuring AAD Connect to work as a GalSync engine. In this post, we’ll finish up the configuration. As a reminder, this is the what the overall solution will look like:
And, as I mentioned in part 1:
Please don’t call Premier asking for support on this.… [ Continue reading ]
A few years ago, I worked with one of my close consultant peers to build a GALSync-style solution for a big state government that was going through a divestiture from a single BPOS-D (yes, I am old) and a single managed hosted Exchange environment to multiple O365 multi-tenant instances. … [ Continue reading ]
It’s that time of the year again! I’ve expanded upon an existing feature in the AAD Network Test Tool.
One of the prerequisites listed on the AAD Connect support page is to ensure the Turn on PowerShell Transcription GPO is set to Not Configured. … [ Continue reading ]
Just a quick note: I’ve updated the AAD Connect Network Test Tool to now query Windows Product Edition data to provide a little more system configuration prerequisite testing information, based on the OperatingSystemSKU data listed at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/CIMWin32Prov/win32-operatingsystem.… [ Continue reading ]
Update (7/24): I updated this since the last revision, so if you downloaded it prior to 7/24/2018, get the newest version.
