When a user leaves the organization, their Onedrive folders/files remain until either the user is permanently deleted or the retention policy covering their data expires.
Many organizations have set up a retention policy in Office 365 to retain data in Onedrive for several years, sometimes even indefinitely.
Few know, that as long as you retain a user’s onedrive, the files and folders that were shared, by default, remain shared and accessible by those they were shared with, including externals.
Therefore, here’s another runbook you may run to just report on your inactive devices, or to automatically (and optionally periodically) clean up inactive devices in your environment when the removeInactiveDevices switch is supplied.
Managed identity
When run locally, interactive sign in is required. When running as a runbook in Azure automation, the Managed Identity of the automation account is leveraged. This requires you to set Device.ReadWrite.All or Device.Read.All permissions depending on if you want to script to do the cleanup as well.
Autopilot / on premises devices
Note that the script will log an error (and not attempt to delete the device) when a device is an autopilot record (not a real device) or when the device is synced from an on-premises active directory.
Disable vs Delete
The runbook also has a disable option, in which it will first disable a device and wait a configurable ($disableDurationInDays) period of time before actually deleting a device.
Reports
If you wish, you can also let the script mail you a report in CSV format. Add the Mail.Send graph permissions like you did with device permissions and give the MailFrom and MailTo parameters a value.
Azure AD’s sign in logs also only go back 30 days, which makes it highly recommended to stream Azure AD’s sign in logs to a Log Analytics workspace (Azure Monitor). You just need one single P1 license in your tenant to be able to enable this.
My script gets the last sign in data of all guest accounts in your tenant, without any dependencies other than the Az PS module.
If a guest user has never signed in, the creationDate is used to determine inactivity. Otherwise either the last interactive or last non interactive sign in is used (whichever is most recent).
Additionally, the script can also be configured to automatically clean up any guest accounts that have been inactive for a given number of days by using the -removeInactiveGuests switch.
Even in large environments, processing only takes a few minutes at most.
Microsoft started using these properties in april 2020, so accounts active before that will seem like they have never been active.
Scheduling
This script supports running non-interactive as a runbook in Azure Automation if you supply the -nonInteractive switch. Before this will work, you’ll have to enable Managed Identity on your automation account and run a small script to assign graph permissions to the Managed Identity: AuditLog.Read.All and Organization.Read.All
Reports
If you wish, you can also let the script mail you a report in CSV format. Add the Mail.Send graph permissions like you did with device permissions and give the MailFrom and MailTo parameters a value.
Disclaimer
As always this script is provided as-is and should be reviewed and then used at your own risk.
When auditing a Sharepoint environment, an important component is permissions;
invited users
sharing links
inherited permissions
unique permissions
broken inheritance
sites, webs
lists, libraries
I’ve heavily modified Salaudeen Rajack’s work to share a more fully featured and faster PowerShell auditing script that will dump all unique permissions (up to item level, recursively) for all sharepoint sites (including O365 group sites). For files, folders, sites, libraries, etc etc.
It retrieves membership of groups so the resulting CSV file contains all permissions, with exception of the “Everyone” group, which is listed as a group instead.
the script uses device based logon, just follow the prompts.
don’t forget to first set permissions on all sites for your admin account, see script header for an example
requires the PnP module
you can exclude specific sites or users from the report if needed, configure siteIgnoreList or principalIgnoreList for that
Runtime on an environment with over 1000 sites and millions of objects was about 6 hours. If you environment is too large, contact me and I can perhaps introduce e.g. multi-threading.
The main differences between Microsoft AAD LAPS and LeanLAPS:
MS Won’t enable the account if it’s disabled.
MS Won’t create the account if it doesn’t exist.
MS Won’t add it to Administrators group if it’s not a member.
MS Won’t remove accounts from Administrators group if they’re not supposed to be there.
MS has an AAD integrated GUI and RBAC
LeanLAPS requires P2 licensing because it used Proactive Remediations
LeanLAPS
Managing local admin accounts using Intune has a lot of quirks, my tele-colleague Rudy Ooms has already written extensively about this. He also wrote a PowerShell solution to rotate a specific local admin’s password and had the genius idea of using Proactive Remediations (a MEM feature) to display passwords to admins, integrated / free in the Intune Console.
However, I felt I needed a more lightweight solution that;
3. Download and doublecheck the config of LeanLAPS.ps1 (e.g. configure if other local admins should be removed, what the local admin name should be and the password length). Make sure to use NotePad++ / that the file stays UTF-8 Encoded without a BOM.
4. Set both the detection and remediation script to LeanLAPS.ps1 and run it in 64 bit:
5. Assign to a group and deploy. By default it will run every day, but you can also let it run more or less frequently, which determines how often the password is reset (hourly in below example):
6. Deploy, and then click on the script package:
7. Go to Device status and add both output columns:
Congratulations, you can now see the current local admin passwords for all managed Windows 10 devices!
Note: if you wish to trigger a quick remediation, delete the correct keys under Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\IntuneManagementExtension\SideCarPolicies\Scripts\Execution and Reports in the client’s registry, then restart the IntuneManagementExtension service and the remediation will re-run within 5 minutes.
8. If you want to display an encrypted password in Intune, generate a public and private key and configure the resulting values in gui.ps1 and leanLAPS.ps1
9. If you don’t want LeanLAPS to remove certain preapproved admins or groups as admin, make sure to configure the $approvedAdmins variable.
RBAC
If you provide e.g. your helpdesk with the correct Intune roles, they will be able to see local admin passwords as reported by above solution:
GUI
The community, in the form of Colton Lacy, also added an optional GUI frontend for LeanLAPS which you could use for e.g. helpdesk staff:
