👋 Hi everyone, Merill and Joshua here! We’re back with your weekly dose of global Microsoft Entra news 🌍.
I (Merill) just touched down in Australia after an epic week at Workplace Ninjas in Dallas. The highlight was definitely the people - I loved meeting so many Microsoft 365 & Entra admins and community members in person.
🤠 Big shoutout to Jon Towles for organizing a truly unique event. The vibes were unmatched, and I’m already looking forward to Workplace Ninjas 2027.
Enjoy the pics and let’s dive into the news!
BTW Need some inspiration? Make sure to catch our latest podcast featuring Jan Bakker. It’s a powerful session that is sure to leave you with a ton of new ideas.

A December Gift That Keeps Delivering for IT Support
December is here — lights are up, calendars are full, and IT teams are deep in the final onboarding/offboarding wave of the year.
Hybrid AD onboarding still too often depends on scattered tools, PowerShell scripts, and undocumented “special steps” only senior admins remember.EasyEntra Virtual User Templates ends that cycle for good:
🎄 Build reusable templates from any existing hybrid user in under a minute
🎄 Create a fully provisioned hybrid account by pairing a template + new Display Name
🎄 Standardized, repeatable onboarding - no scripts, no deviations, no surprisesSpin up a complete library of role-based templates in under an hour (including EasyEntra installation).
Let first-line support handle onboarding with confidence - and let senior IT enjoy a December focused on strategy, security, and maybe even a little holiday calm. 🎁
