@theTRUESPEED Hello! 150.251.123.0 IP range belongs to you guys but comes up as "Belgium Brussels Truespeed Communications Limited" for IP location, which is frustrating when geo blocking our users to UK. Can you fix it please?

[Steve Prentice | SWB @steveprentice]

@merill @mniehaus @DhanyahkMSFT I know, I know, that’s a given. 😆
But leads to fallout of other things like our dependence on NPS for WiFi, and a proxy that is AD integrated and would need replacing etc etc, (E7 please mr manager!) so it’s a bit slow going with having to change out other tech first. 😕

@merill @mniehaus @DhanyahkMSFT (And I guess there I’m hoping that as key trust is configured already then it will continue to work)

[Steve Prentice | SWB @steveprentice]

@merill @mniehaus @DhanyahkMSFT Thanks Merill, much appreciated. At least I’m on the right lines then I think / haven’t missed something obvious. I guess my best scenario is likely as new devices roll out to try to get them cloud trust, leaving key trust as legacy.

@MPECSInc I see it has in place upgrade as one of the options. My company seems dead against that even though I’ve not had issues my self previously. What’s the best practice recommendation there? (Or your personal recommendation?)

[Steve Prentice | SWB @steveprentice]

@richardhicks Same. 😃 Also for Logic Apps errors very useful / good at improving on those.

@PJ_Marcum @IntuneSuppTeam Happens all over the place in MS ecosystem, Azure DNS is another one that's painful for that, you search for a record, think it doesn't exist, then realise you didn't click View More a bunch of times to load all the data. :-/

@NathanMcNulty True. My biggest annoyance though? It doesn’t do managed certificates like App Service does, it’d be so good if it auto rotated its SSL certs.

[Steve Prentice | SWB @steveprentice]

@richardhicks Oo that’s really interesting, good initial testing!

[Steve Prentice | SWB @steveprentice]

@UK_Daniel_Card So yes, PINs on all laptops (cos we don’t really have desktops). But I’ve been vaguely arguing to remove them… looks like my arguments are out of the window now tho eh! Doh. Coincidentally it’d be lovely if autopilot had a built in user flow for setting one easily.

[Steve Prentice | SWB @steveprentice]

@merill Best of luck! Definitely Microsoft’s loss.

Sad for Portugal. #eurovision

@rucam365 @UK_Daniel_Card 😆 Donno what you mean!

Hey whisky peeps. Talk to me about @DalmoreWhisky. Am I right that normal whisky people can no longer visit unless they sell a kidney?

[Steve Prentice | SWB @steveprentice]

@spirit_speyside Hi. You emailed out to folks a while back about A95 closures, is that still likely to cause problems at all over the week do you know? Thanks.

[Steve Prentice | SWB @steveprentice]

@AdamGell It’s a bit frustrating eh, but I’ve learnt to just download and use the BMR (rather than vanilla ISO) and I’ve been ok since. Not ideal granted, but works.

[Steve Prentice | SWB @steveprentice]

This time in two weeks I’ll be up in Speyside, Scotland enjoying the delights of the @spirit_speyside whisky festival. Will anyone I know on here be there too? 🙂🥃 #SOS2026
