  1. Login to the PC as the Azure AD user you want to be a local admin. This gets the GUID onto the PC.

  2. Log out as that user and login as a local admin user.

  3. Open a command prompt as Administrator and using the command line, add the user to the administrators group. As an example, if I had a user called John Doe, the command would be “net localgroup administrators AzureAD\JohnDoe /add” without the quotes

What are security defaults

Monday, March 15th, 2021

Managing security can be difficult with common identity-related attacks like password spray, replay, and phishing becoming more and more popular. Security defaults make it easier to help protect your organization from these attacks with preconfigured security settings:

  • Requiring all users to register for Azure AD Multi-Factor Authentication.
  • Requiring administrators to perform multi-factor authentication.
  • Blocking legacy authentication protocols.
  • Requiring users to perform multi-factor authentication when necessary.
  • Protecting privileged activities like access to the Azure portal.
