OK So I have a fun one.

I have an ADFS installation that cannot read the employeeNumber entry from Active Directory. I dug into it and the account didn't have read permissions for those attributes.

Now, if I give full control over the AD Objects to the ADFS service, it can read the employeeNumber. If I remove Full Control but leave all the read permissions I cannot read the attribute any longer.

Right now when I look at effective permissions, the account has permission to read the attribute on the object but it still cannot read the drat attribute. I just get blank. I truly cannot fathom it at this moment.

Am I doing something completely stupid?

What happens when you try to use the ADFS credentials in ldp.exe and try to enumerate the the attributes? It's a hardcore tool, but should give you an ideal whats up

Thank you for that link. I went through it and was able to enumerate what could be read by the account when it had Full Control vs. otherwise. Its nuts. I can set it to read everything, yet employeeNumber isn't enumerated. When I go to security descriptors, I can see that I have full read permissions and no go. I give it Full Control and BAM! I can read it.

It's weird as hell. I think there are some bad bad settings in our AD from our previous lords.

I'll dig deeper. And again thank you!

If you already have the licensing, go for it. At worst you get cluster aware patching, VM Templating, and a bit of an easier single pane of glass to manage each of the clusters.

If you don't have the licensing, consider how much the features will benefit you and then work back from there.

What’s the general goon consensus on Intune? How close are we to getting rid of GPOs and only using Azure AD Join?

Thanks Ants
May 21, 2004

#essereFerrari


Not that close. If you want to manage an office full of admin workers on desktops then Intune is probably a bad choice. If you need some light-touch management to ensure that laptops with access to corporate data have BitLocker enabled, a way to distribute apps, configure Wi-Fi networks with the correct certificates then go for it.

It's a different tool to GPO, though there is an increasing amount of overlap.

If you want to have Azure AD login -> Intune enrolment as a workflow then you need Azure AD Premium, and EM+S is cheaper, so base your licensing costs on that. If you just have a bunch of desktops and nobody does email remotely then just put a couple of domain controllers in different Azure regions and build VPNs to them, and go down the traditional AD bind route. Maybe do EM+S for people that have laptops.

Oh question about windows 10 gpo. Which policy will stop the os from installing "modern" apps for printer devices automatically?

Ie. Network printers are pushed out through gpo, but when I click on the he start menu it looks like the printer is installing an app into the OS as well so I hat ends up happening is that the program gets added to the start menu but never installs because the users don't have Admin access.

If I had to guess someone set/marked the employeeNumber attribute in AD as confidential. It explains the issue you're seeing.

And yea it probably needed to be a confidential thing because security. Which is all good. Just no one here from then to tell anyone else.

Rocco sez: Oh man, what a bummer. Woof.

We're currently in the market to purchase 60 new phones. We're looking at both iOS and Android phones. Our carrier (Verizon) is quoting roughly $200 more per iOS device (iPhone 6s and Samsung Galaxy J7V are what we're looking at). Does this seem normal? I'm finding it hard to believe that Apple devices are competitive with that much of a price difference.
Also, we're evaluating using Intune to manage the phones. In our testing so far, it seems that the management options are more limited with regards to Android. I can't even find a way to remotely reset a password/PIN on the Android devices. Same goes for remotely enabling some kind of 'lost mode'. On the iOS side, both of these things are easy to do so I don't know if I'm missing something or if the capability just isn't there.

I can’t speak to the business purchasing side but I know Apple is incredibly controlling on pricing and in general is just very expensive, even to vendors/stores. It wouldn’t surprise me that android devices have more leeway on deal making.

Also just a heads up, if you want to do any kind of device management with iOS, make sure your vendor can register your devices to Apple's DEP which will funnel them into your MDM when your users set them up (makes poo poo really easy to manage).

Yeah Intune for Androids suck, my customers hate that fact since Microsoft sells it as the greatest thing. Then you open it and it says "Samsung KNOX only" in 99% of the settings

I guess they keep all those settings only to be able to advertise to the customers that "Intune does it" and that is a really lovely tactic to me and it only fucks us partners, we get the biggest complaints

I just setup the Knox Mobile Enrollment program for our Galaxy tablets. Basically it skips the setup and forwards the device to whatever MDM you have (kind of like Apple DEP). Works pretty well.

I haven't used the full blown Knox MDM though.

Small story: We ping ponged back and forth from Verizon to Sprint back to verizon (manager pissising match) and from the get-go we directed sprint to enroll all the new phones through DEP. With about 100+ devices to deploy we had them all out to the field within a week.

Then, when the pissing match was over and back on verizon they sent their list of new hardware to DEP and had an insanely quick redeployment.

A+++ would recommend.

Also being able to wipe a phone and clear iCloud lock has been a blessed event. I don't care if you use your personal (idiots, but no logical reason not to as my profiles prevent exch to icloud moves) or create a free work iCloud account. Also I have the VPP program so every FREE program they think they'll ever need is already provisioned on the device. Google apps, microsoft apps, waze and barracuda apps (for muh precious archives).

If I could get my desktops as dialed in as I can iOS devices i'd be taking longer vacays.

I need to find a way to get Active Directory to use a secondary system for multi factor authentication. This is going to be used in conjunction with physical access control to make sure the person is actually badged into the building before they can login.

Essentially, I want the process to look like this:

User enters credentials
v
AD authenticates credential
v
AD passes user information to our system (who is trying to log in and a timestamp of the attempt)
v
Our system verifies user is physically present
v
Our system sends some form of verification/acceptance of access
v
AD lets user log in

Can AD do this? We can use any protocol AD needs for the communication. I'm having a hell of a time finding any documentation for multi factor outside of an Azure deployment.

Oct 16, 2003


This is why ADFS exists. You can create custom multi-factor middleware if you so choose. https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com...2012-r2-part-1/

It is not for the faint of heart and I wouldn't recommend rolling your own solution unless it is for some reason absolutely necessary.

e: I may have misunderstood your request. ADFS doesn't work for workstation logins.

KillHour
Oct 28, 2007


Yes, this is for logging into a workstation.

The problem we're trying to solve is someone using another person's credentials to access their machine while they are away. We only want Windows to allow them to log in if the access control system sees they badged into the building.

Complex dev work to make this happen isn't a problem since we have full-time devs that can handle that stuff, but the complex part should be on the end of our software, not the AD system.

Every on-prem MFA solution I've ever looked at requires installing an agent on every workstation you are going to protect.

In Windows 10, you're probably looking at a custom credential provider: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/mt158211(v=vs.85).aspx

That's kind of crazy. Could something be used in between the workstations and the Windows AD server? We're trying to avoid putting something on the clients if possible.
