Remove yourself as guest user of a partner organisation AD tenant
In the past, when working with partner organisations where you were invited to access shared resources or applications, in order to get your access removed/revoked you would need to contact their Global Admin and ask them to remove you. That was not an easy task!
Now, Microsoft released a Azure B2B update which will allow you to remove yourself from the partner organisation AD tenant
When a user leaves an organization, the user account is “soft deleted” in the directory.
By default, the user object moves to the Deleted users area in Azure AD but is not permanently deleted for 30 days. This soft deletion enables the administrator to restore the user account (including groups and permissions), if the user makes a request to restore the account within the 30-day period.
If you permanently delete a user, this action is irrevocable.
These highly-requested capabilities simplify and modernize your collaboration. They also empower your partner users and help you with your GDPR obligations.
You can find more information about this an other new exciting features of Azure B2B at : https://docs.microsoft.com/en-au/azure/active-directory/active-directory-b2b-leave-the-organization
If you’re interested in viewing or deleting personal data, please see the Azure Data Subject Requests for the GDPR article. If you’re looking for general info about GDPR, see the GDPR section of the Service Trust portal.
Key features of the new Microsoft Azure Site Recovery Deployment Planner
Azure Site Recovery Deployment Planner is now GA with support for both Hyper-V and VMware.
Disaster Recovery cost to Azure is now added in the report. It gives compute, storage, network and Azure Site Recovery license cost per VM.
ASR Deployment Planner does a deep, ASR-specific assessment of your on-premises environment. It provides recommendations that are required by Azure Site Recovery for successful DR operations such as replication, failover, and DR-Drill of your VMware or Hyper-V virtual machines.
Also, if you intend to migrate your on-premises workloads to Azure, use Azure Migrate for migration planning. Azure Migrate assesses on-premises workloads and provides guidance
Key features of the tool are:
- Estimated Network bandwidth required for initial replication(IR) and delta replication.
- Storage type(standard or premium storage) requirement for each VM.
- Total number of standard and premium storage accounts to be provisioned.
- For VMware, it provides the required number of Configuration Server and Process Server to be deployed on on-prem.
- For Hyper-V, it provides additional storage requirements on on-premises.
- For Hyper-V, the number of VMs that can be protected in parallel (in a batch) and protection order of each batch for successful initial replication.
- For VMware, the number of VMs that can be protected in parallel to complete initial replication in a given time.
- Throughput that ASR can get from on-premises to Azure.
- VM eligibility assessment based on number of disks, size of the disk and IOPS, OS type.
- Estimate DR cost for the target Azure region in the specific currency.
When to use ASR Deployment Planner and Azure Migrate?
- DR from VMware/Hyper-V to Azure
- Migration from VMware to Azure
