About this tag
The entra id tag on WindowsForum.com covers Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory) topics as they surface in enterprise IT discussions. Recent threads explore identity lifecycle management, including OneDrive archival rules tied to Entra ID user deletion and the 93-day relicense requirement. Other content addresses Intune enrollment troubleshooting on Entra-joined Windows devices, emphasizing the distinction between identity join and MDM enrollment. Security-related posts examine phishing kits targeting Microsoft 365 sign-in pages, passkey sync in Microsoft Edge for enterprise users, and the implications of AI agent credentials. Exchange Online EWS dependency discovery and Microsoft 365 profile card privacy changes round out the coverage, focusing on practical administration and security concerns.
