Pissing me off: it took 21 (calendar) days to get an incoming webhook in teams approved Job is mostly good, but occasionally the bureaucracy rears its ugly head and destroys all productivity.

Honestly, wouldn't it be trivial to add a filter to whatever their reverse proxy is (nginx mostly likely everywhere) or CDN and rewrite all urls with Vid.me to black hole them?

Why does everyone jerk themselves off over Microsoft 365? At least on the admin side it's the biggest pile of poo poo I have seen in my life.

The pile of poo poo is only so big because it has so much stuff in it. The M365 ecosystem is massive and I don’t know of another single platform that will get you all of the same services under one integrated product. For better or worse.

klosterdev posted:What are you trying to accomplish that makes it feel like a pile of poo poo Just being able to log into it or switch accounts without having to close browsers and clear cookies and do incognito windows. Super loving frustrating. You can add a group in like 4 different places and only modify certain attributes in certain places. Oh you added the group somewhere else? You have to delete it and do it in Exchange if you want to to be a certain distribution group. It's possibly the most unintuitive bucket of poo poo I've seen. As a bonus one of our companies is GCC High so like 25% of the features are missing. Half the time it's not even documented.

MS isn’t the only website that struggles with multiple accounts, I’d recommend setting up separate browser profiles for your different accounts and switch between them as needed. quote:You can add a group in like 4 different places and only modify certain attributes in certain places.

There’s like 4 or 5 different types of groups that have different purposes, you should probably learn what they are all for. quote:As a bonus one of our companies is GCC High so like 25% of the features are missing.

Their support and documentation is also dog-poo poo terrible. Simple questions like "if I use an external IdP to authenticate my Google users, can they still use the 'sign in with Google' features on websites" get responded to by saying they can't support me using a third-party IdP. Google Drive is significantly better than OneDrive but I would never consider migrating email from Exchange Online to Google.

Bob Morales posted:You can add a group in like 4 different places and only modify certain attributes in certain places. Oh you added the group somewhere else? You have to delete it and do it in Exchange if you want to to be a certain distribution group. What you're just described is a basic concept. If you're in a hybrid environment, Exchange is the authoritative source for a lot of things. If you weren't hybrid and didn't have on-prem Exchange, you wouldn't be running into this. Now, gently caress Microsoft for dragging their feet in giving people the ability to easily move off hybrid, but what you're describing is some 101 poo poo. If you use another cloud identity provider, like Okta, and you have on-prem AD, you have a similar problem. If you want to change group membership or any other on-prem attribute, you change it on-prem and it syncs up. It does not sync down. Stuff like passwords is an exception, if you're fancy, because that provides a much better experience for the end user and the password is something the end-user owns, so it shouldn't be changing (outside of emergencies) without their consent anyways, unlike other attributes. In regards to M365, there are all sorts of modern things you can do in the cloud if you're only working within the cloud. Like for example, creating an Azure AD / M365 group and putting users into it. This does not need to be done on-prem first, because the group does not exist on-prem at all. It only lives in the context of Azure AD / M365. Again, this is basic unidirectional sync stuff. It's been around in IT for a long time. Bidirectional sync is not always easy or preferable.

I could write a book on just how much of a garbage fire this infrastructure is, and yet as I keep pulling back the layers I keep being surprised at how much worse it gets. The worst part about it is I was hired under the pretense that I would be fixing these problems, but now that I'm here I'm being turned down on requests to re-architect or re-engineer these issues. Some of it is because of budget, which is fine I understand enterprise gear is expensive and doing things properly costs even more. But the real kicker is they don't seem interested in actually improving anything. There are a bunch of little things, misconfigurations here and there that could be fixed or improved to make our day-to-day processes more efficient or at least less of a pain in the rear end and I've been turned down on those requests. Even when it wouldn't cost anything or there is a well known and trusted FOSS solution. They're more interested in firefighting, than actually fixing the thing that caused the fire in the first place. I've not been here very long and tbh I don't think I'm going to stay much longer.
