Monitoring with PowerShell Chapter 3: Monitoring MFA-Server and Office365 MFA status

We use both Azure MFA Server to secure our on-site resources, and Office365 MFA for our clients. To make sure we don’t have aggressors changing the MFA settings, or simply administrators forgetting to set-up MFA for clients we make sure that we alert on both.

The issue with monitoring the MFA server is that its a product Microsoft bought later on its in life. As such does not have a PowerShell module included, and it does not conform to the current Common Engineering Criteria.

To solve this, we add a DLL that exposes the functionality that we need, when they get a list of all users(starting with A, until Z).

Add-Type -Path "C:\Program Files\Multi-Factor Authentication Server\pfsvcclientclr.DLL"
$problem = [PfSvcClientClr.ConstructResult]::miscError;
$main = [PfSvcClientClr.PfSvcClient]::construct([PfSvcClientClr.ConstructTarget]::local, [ref] $problem);
$DLLModule = $main.GetType().GetMethod("getInterface").MakeGenericMethod([PfSvcClientClr.IPfMasterComposite]).Invoke($main, $null);
$users = $DLLModule.find_users_startsWith("a")
foreach($username in $users){
if($DLLModule.get_user_disabledBehavior("$username") -eq "succeed") { $UserOutput += "$($username) is set to succeed authentication without MFA `n" }
}
if(!$UserOutput) { $UserOutput = "Healthy" }

Next we will monitor the multi-factor authentication on the Office365 side. For this we will use the MSOL module and your partner credentials you’ve generated using this blog. The script can be used both to get information for all clients, or a single client. To demonstrate I’ve added both

All Clients script:

$ApplicationId       = "xxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxx"
$ApplicationSecret   = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx="
$RefreshToken        = "VeryLongRefreshToken"
$Tenantname          = "YourTenant.onmicrosoft.com"

$PasswordToSecureString = $ApplicationSecret  | ConvertTo-SecureString -asPlainText -Force
$credential = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential($ApplicationId,$PasswordToSecureString)
$aadGraphToken = New-PartnerAccessToken -RefreshToken $refreshToken -Resource https://graph.windows.net -Credential $credential -TenantId $Tenantname
$graphToken =  New-PartnerAccessToken -RefreshToken $refreshToken -Resource https://graph.microsoft.com -Credential $credential -TenantId $Tenantname

Connect-MsolService -AdGraphAccessToken $aadGraphToken.AccessToken -MsGraphAccessToken $graphToken.AccessToken
$AllUSers = Get-MsolPartnerContract |  Get-MsolUser -all | select DisplayName,UserPrincipalName,@{N="MFA Status"; E={
if( $_.StrongAuthenticationRequirements.State -ne $null) {$_.StrongAuthenticationRequirements.State} else { "Disabled"}}}
foreach($User in $allusers | Where-Object{ $_.'MFA Status' -eq "Disabled"}){
$DisabledUsers += "$($User.UserPrincipalName) Has MFA disabled `n"
}
if(!$DisabledUsers){ $DisabledUsers = "Healthy"}

Single client script

$ApplicationId       = "xxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxxx"
$ApplicationSecret   = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx="
$RefreshToken        = "VeryLongStringHere"
$Tenantname          = "YourTenant.onmicrosoft.com"
$ClientTenantName    = "TheClientsTenant.onmicrosoft.com"
$PasswordToSecureString = $ApplicationSecret  | ConvertTo-SecureString -asPlainText -Force
$credential = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential($ApplicationId,$PasswordToSecureString)
$aadGraphToken = New-PartnerAccessToken -RefreshToken $refreshToken -Resource https://graph.windows.net -Credential $credential -TenantId $Tenantname
$graphToken =  New-PartnerAccessToken -RefreshToken $refreshToken -Resource https://graph.microsoft.com -Credential $credential -TenantId $Tenantname

Connect-MsolService -AdGraphAccessToken $aadGraphToken.AccessToken -MsGraphAccessToken $graphToken.AccessToken
$AllUSers = Get-MsolPartnerContract -DomainName $ClientTenantName |  Get-MsolUser -all | select DisplayName,UserPrincipalName,@{N="MFA Status"; E={
if( $_.StrongAuthenticationRequirements.State -ne $null) {$_.StrongAuthenticationRequirements.State} else { "Disabled"}}}
foreach($User in $allusers | Where-Object{ $_.'MFA Status' -eq "Disabled"}){
$DisabledUsers += "$($User.UserPrincipalName) Has MFA disabled"
}
if(!$DisabledUsers){ $DisabledUsers = "Healthy"}

The return of CyberDrain CTF

CyberDrain CTF returns! (and so do I!)

It’s been since september that I actually picked up a digital pen equivalent and wrote anything down. This was due to me being busy with life but also my side projects like CIPP. I’m trying to get back into the game of scripting and blogging about these scripts. There’s still so much to automate and so little time, right? ;)

Monitoring with PowerShell: Monitoring Acronis Backups

Intro

This is a monitoring script requested via Reddit, One of the reddit r/msp users wondered how they can monitor Acronis a little bit easier. I jumped on this because it happened pretty much at the same time that I was asked to speak at the Acronis CyberSummit so it kinda made sense to script this so I have something to demonstrate at my session there.

Monitoring with PowerShell: Monitoring VSS Snapshots

Intro

Wow! It’s been a while since I’ve blogged. I’ve just been so swamped with CIPP that I’ve just let the blogging go entirely. It’s a shame because I think out of all my hobbies it’s one I enjoy the most. It’s always nice helping others achieve their scripting target. I even got a couple of LinkedIn questions asking if I was done with blogging but I’m not. Writing always gives me some more piece of mind so I’ll try to catch up again. I know I’ve said that before but this time I’ll follow through. I’m sitting down right now and scheduling the release of 5 blogs in one go. No more whining and no more waiting.
