Attack Surface Reduction Rules (ASR) reporting using Microsoft 365 Security Center

This is my forst post since very long time

I have decied to come back and blog about some of my findings.

If you have an E5 License you can use the Microsoft 365 Security portal (security.microsoft.com) to access reports for ASR configuration and detection.

As far as I remember last time I want to access the reports they were in a different placce , it took me a while to figure out where they are locate , so I thought to blog about this.

To access the ASR report , From the home page of security.microsoft.com , scroll down use the navigation pane on the left and select Reports

Then under General click on Security Report

Scroll down till you find the Attack Surface reduction rules section, click on the title and it will tack you to a another page to view more details

From the configuration tab you can get an overview of the configuration and which machines has ASR rules off, enforced or in audit mode.

If you click on the name of a specific machine it will show more details about the status of each rule.

That was it !

see you in the next blog post...

the networkmanager has not yet been initialized

I faced a very strange case with Exchange DAG, I was doing a site resiliency test I failed over to the DR site successfully and then I failed back to the main site, after failing back I found that the DAG was in a state that looks like split brain syndrome although the DAG was running in DAC mode. the symptoms were as follows: From the DR mailbox server: Cluster Console only showed this node while the active nodes were not present. From EMC the copies on the DR server were healthy. From the Main site mailbox servers: Cluster console showed the three nodes but the DR node was stopped, and the option to start it was grayed out. From EMC the copies on the DR server were failed. The fix was as follows: run the following command: Cluster /forcecleanup Then run the following: Start-DatabaseAvailabilityGroup "DAGname" -MailboxServer "DRNodeName" After the first command you will find that the DR node can see the oth...
