We just released version 1.2.15 of EasyEntra. RDP profile settings are now part of the standard AD user profile settings - right where you'd expect them (and not like in ADUC: tab no. 314 after a tsuserex.dll and .mui registration!)

Can you rattle off OIDs and timestamps like this:
🔹 (userAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2) – to find disabled accounts
🔹 (lastLogonTimeStamp<=133801632000000000) – to track inactive users
🔹 (&(objectCategory=Person)(objectClass=User)(lockoutTime>=1)) – to catch locked-out accounts

The underlying method is supported by Microsoft. It's the MS Graph PowerShell API and the EXO PowerShell API. In case of any issues, we can translate any action in EasyEntra to fully supported and reproducible scripts that you can use to raise a ticket with Microsoft.

In this article, EMT falls under the section PowerShell Directory Manipulation.
We get your point about building on MS backed solutions like EMT. But our clients look for less pain. Not doing Exchange 2019 upgrades. Many migrated to EXO from Exchange 2007. Many never even had Exchange on-premises.
