We have all been there; you're working on something (Microsoft Endpoint Manager, for example), and things don't work like they are supposed to. Strange errors, you're starting to doubt yourself... And then you see something in your newsfeed (Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.) that there's an issue and that Microsoft is working on it... You lost a few hours troubleshooting your issue. Wouldn't it be nice to get notified when starting PowerShell if there's an issue you should be aware of? This blog post will cover just that 🙂

Adding Mobile Phone Authentication method for Azure AD Multi-Factor Authentication using PowerShell
One of our customers is switching from Mobile Iron to Endpoint Manager for their mobile devices, which is a good choice :). After retiring the device, Mobile Iron removes the managed Authenticator app from the device. Microsoft Endpoint manager pushes it back to the device again, but... The iCloud backup options were not set/managed, and users had to add their account back which requires MFA. Which they can't do because only the Authenticator app was registered (Mobile app code) and no recovery email or mobile phone number. But the mobile phone numbers were set on most users in Active Directory in the past and were synced to Azure AD. This blog post describes how you can add those numbers to the affected users so that they can use the recovery option and won't have to contact the ServiceDesk 🙂
