Let’s Match it up
Growing up, I watched my parents do this thing that feels kind of rare now. They didn’t just go to work. They built a work life. Like the kind that bleeds into the community, where people know your name, and your effort leaves marks in places you’ll never fully see....
Entra ID source anchor attribute
So, here I am looking down at a project to create a new domain and migrate users. Normally this isn't a bad process. You clone the user on the other domain and have them sign in. Use a tool like Profwiz or ADMT (assuming it works). Then I realize, they are AD synced...
Intune Detection Rules
The other day, I was showing a friend how to set up Intune deployments. Then it hit me: I have unique scripts for script detections and things like that here on therandomadmin.com. However, I haven't really gone through the detection rules for built-in items. I was...
What is Azure AD DS
The VPN tunnel was solid. We had split-tunnel traffic, per-user group policies, and MFA layered on Azure AD sign-ins. Nothing fancy, just a Meraki firewall and a bunch of cloud-native users on laptops. Then someone asked for Wi-Fi to authenticate via RADIUS. Not Wi-Fi...
DREAM prompt framework

F.L.A.R.E Chat GPT
A Tuesday That Needed Structure Chaos greeted my Tuesday before coffee. Tickets screamed from three dashboards. A file server blinked like a sleepy raccoon. Meetings overlapped, because of course they did. Prompts to Chat GPT 5 sounded rushed and vague. Results came...
Finding Nimo
It's a new day and a new shiny toy for us homelabers. Last month, the processor on my old laptop finally breathed its last. It was a good laptop, but it was ready to pass on. However, what made this crappy is my little Dell gave up as well. I had to rethink how I was...
Maybe Financials
Maybe, Just Maybe, someone will enjoy Maybe Financials. It's a powerfull self hosted financial system and it's something I need. I'm switching from my factory IT job to a School system. The school system moves me from a weekly paycheck to a monthly paycheck and a pay...
Global Reader Role Security Concerns
It started like most of my learning sessions do. I cracked open a cold Dr Pepper and decided to poke around Microsoft 365 Explorer just to see how it really works. Not trying to solve a ticket or check alerts, just digging through the Security & Compliance Center...
