Turn Microsoft Arc Mouse sound down or off
Just attached and paired Microsoft Arc Touch Mouse to my new Surface Book.
The mouse has many interesting and suitable features as described here.
One thing: the "scroll wheel emulation" generates such noise, so my room mate asked me if I can turn the sound down. Unfortunately, the mouse isn't equipped with "volume control".
The solution is: install and launch Arc Touch Bluetooth Mouse App from App

...turn the sound down or off...
,,,and enjoy the silence!

Azure Active Directory: connect AAD for management with PowerShell
Azure Active Directory V2 PowerShell Module enables management of Azure Active Directory using PowerShell.
To perform management tasks a connection to AAD domain isrequired. The cmdlet Connect-AzureAD establishes connection to ADD domain.
Started this way the user is prompted to enter credentials for connection
If login succeeds a confirmation is displayed
The connection can be validated with the cmdlet Get-AzureADDomain
If the user is connected to AAD domain, where he has management privileges - the information about the domain will be displayed. But often following error message is returned instead:
Get-AzureADDomain : Error occurred while executing GetDomains
StatusCode: Forbidden
ErrorCode: Authentication_Unauthorized
Message: User was not found
At line:1 char:1
+ Get-AzureADDomain
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Get-AzureADDomain], ApiException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.Open.AzureAD16.Client.ApiException,Microsoft.Open.AzureAD16.PowerShell.GetDomain
The reason is: the cmdlet GetAzureADDomain has no tenant specified, so the connection was established to a domain, where user has no admin privileges.
To ensure connection to expected AAD domain, the tenant ID must specified in call to Connect-AzureAD cmdlet:
If tenant ID specified properly, the Get-AzureADDomain cmdlet returns confirmation with the same tenant ID as specified in call to Connect-AzureAD
The tenant ID for AAD domain can be obtained from Azure portal
Since only a few Azure users note the tenant ID of their AAD domains rather the domain name, an improvement of PowerShell module for Azure Active Directory is to expect: the parameter TenantDomainName as alternative for TenantId parameter - to enter full domain name instead of GUID based ID.
