On 16. September 2023

In Microsoft Azure

SMB over QUIC is a network protocol used by Windows. It allows secure, shared use of resources such as files on the network. To use SMB (Server Message Block) without QUIC, TCP port 445 is required. Some Internet providers block TCP port 445 for security reasons. Therefore, it is not possible to connect to a file share on Azure by SMB successfully.

To bypass the blocking of TCP port 445, there are several options to choose from, including the following:

  • VPN (Virtual Private Network), e.g. AlwaysOnVPN

  • SMB over QUIC (Quick UDP Internet Connection)

On 1. May 2023

In Microsoft 365

Windows LAPS (Local Administrator Password Solution) provides centralized, simple and secure management of local administrator passwords in Microsoft Intune. Each device receives its own temporary administrator password. Windows LAPS automatically manages the administrator passwords in terms of expiration and rotation.

Users can use the same credentials for on-premises and cloud-based services with Seamless SSO. There is no need for recurring prompts to enter credentials between services. The necessary data are automatically synced between Active Directory and Azure Active Directory.
