# Application discovery (Preview) for Global Secure Access
> [!IMPORTANT]
> Application discovery is currently in PREVIEW.
> This information relates to a prerelease product that may be substantially modified before it's released. Microsoft makes no warranties, expressed or implied, with respect to the information provided here.
 
Application discovery enables administrators to gain comprehensive visibility into application usage within their corporate network. By identifying which applications are accessed and by whom, administrators can create private applications with precise segmentation and least privilege access, which minimizes unnecessary access.
 
With Quick Access, you can quickly onboard to Private Access by publishing wide IP ranges and wildcard FQDNs, as you would with traditional VPN solutions. You can then transition from Quick Access to per-application publishing for better control and granularity over each application. For example, you can create a Conditional Access policy and set user assignments per application.

# Application discovery for Global Secure Access
Application discovery lets administrators see which applications people use on their corporate network. By identifying which applications are accessed and by whom, administrators can create private applications with precise segmentation and least privilege access, so users only get the access they need.
 
With Quick Access, you can quickly onboard to Private Access by publishing wide IP ranges and wildcard FQDNs, like with traditional VPN solutions. You can then transition from Quick Access to per-application publishing for better control and granularity over each application. For example, you can create a Conditional Access policy and set user assignments per application.
 
This article walks through how to use Application discovery to detect which applications users access (through Quick Access) and create separate private applications.

Before you configure a forest trust in Domain Services, make sure your networking between Azure and on-premises environment meets the following requirements:
 
* Make sure firewall ports allow traffic that is necessary to create and use a trust. For more information about which ports need to be open to use a trust, see [Configure firewall settings for AD DS trusts](/troubleshoot/windows-server/active-directory/config-firewall-for-ad-domains-and-trusts).
* Use private IP addresses. Don't rely on DHCP with dynamic IP address assignment.
* Avoid overlapping IP address spaces to allow virtual network peering and routing to successfully communicate between Azure and on-premises.
* An Azure virtual network needs a gateway subnet to configure an [Azure site-to-site (S2S) VPN][vpn-gateway] or [ExpressRoute][expressroute] connection.
1. From the menu on the left-hand side of the managed domain, select **Trusts**, choose the trust, and click **Remove**.
1. Provide the same trust password that was used to configure the forest trust and click **OK**.
 
## Validate resource authentication
 
The following common scenarios let you validate that forest trust correctly authenticates users and access to resources:
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Before you configure a forest trust in Domain Services, make sure your networking between Azure and on-premises environment meets the following requirements:
 
* Make sure firewall ports and domain controllers allow traffic that is necessary to create and use a trust. For more information about which ports need to be open to use a trust, see [Configure firewall settings for AD DS trusts](/troubleshoot/windows-server/active-directory/config-firewall-for-ad-domains-and-trusts). All domain controllers in the domain that has a trust with Domain Services need to have these ports open.
* Use private IP addresses. Don't rely on DHCP with dynamic IP address assignment.
* Avoid overlapping IP address spaces to allow virtual network peering and routing to successfully communicate between Azure and on-premises.
* An Azure virtual network needs a gateway subnet to configure an [Azure site-to-site (S2S) VPN][vpn-gateway] or [ExpressRoute][expressroute] connection.
1. From the menu on the left-hand side of the managed domain, select **Trusts**, choose the trust, and click **Remove**.
1. Provide the same trust password that was used to configure the forest trust and click **OK**.
 
## Verify trust creation
For two-way and one-way incoming trust, you can verify the incoming trust (the outbound trust from your on-premises domain) by using either the Active Directory Domains and Trusts console or the nltest command-line tool after you configure the forest trust.
 
### Use Active Directory Domains and Trusts to verify a trust
 
Complete the following steps from the on-premises AD DS domain controller using an account that has permissions to create and validate trust relationships.
 
1. Select **Start** > **Administrative Tools** > **Active Directory Domains and Trusts**.
1. Right-click your domain and select **Properties**.
1. Choose the **Trusts** tab.

## June 2025
### General Availability - API-driven provisioning in US Gov cloud
**Type:** New feature
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
## June 2025
### General Availability โ€“ Update to Microsoft Entra Work or School Default Background Image
**Type:** Changed feature
**Service category:** Authentications (Login)
**Product capability:** User Authentication
Starting September 29, 2025, we will be making a change to the default background image of our Microsoft Entra work or school authentication screens. This new background was designed to help users focus on signing into their accounts, enhancing productivity and minimizing distractions. With this, we aim to ensure visual consistency and a clean, simplified user experience throughout Microsoftโ€™s authentication flows โ€“ aligning with Microsoftโ€™s modernized Fluent design language. When our experiences look and feel consistent, it gives our users a familiar experience that they know and trust.
 
**Whatโ€™s changing?**
 
This update is solely a visual user interface refresh with no changes to functionality. This change will only affect screens where Company Branding doesn't apply or where users see the default background image. We recommend updating any documentation that contains screenshots and notifying your help desk. If you have configured a custom background image in Company Branding for your tenant, there will be no change for your users.
 
**Additional Details:**
 
1. **Tenants without a custom background configured:**
a. Tenants without a custom background will see the change on every authentication screen
b. To change this background and use a custom background, configure Company Branding

- **Success:** The Conditional Access policy was applied successfully to the sign-in attempt.
- **Failure:** The Conditional Access policy was applied to the sign-in attempt, but the sign-in attempt failed.
- **Not Applied:** The sign-in didn't match the criteria for the policy to be applied.
- There are specific scenarios that due to their nature, are required to be exempt from Conditional Access evaluation to prevent a circular dependency (chicken-and-egg scenario) that would not be possible to complete. These are considered "bootstrap scenarios" and might include sign-ins associated with device registration, device compliance, or Network Policy Server connectors.
- Windows Hello for Business sign-ins show as "Not Applied" because Conditional Access policies protect sign-in attempts to cloud resources, not the Windows sign-in process.
- **Disabled:** The policy was disabled at the time of the sign-in attempt.
 
- `Not applied`: No policy applied to the user and application during sign-in. Windows Hello for Business shows up as "Not Applied" because Conditional Access policies protect sign-in attempts to cloud resources, not the Windows sign-in process. Other sign-ins might get interrupted so a policy isn't applied.
- `Success`: One or more Conditional Access policies applied to or were evaluated for the user and application (but not necessarily the other conditions) during sign-in. Even though a Conditional Access policy might not apply, if it was evaluated, the Conditional Access status shows *Success*.
- `Failure`: The sign-in satisfied the user and application condition of at least one Conditional Access policy and grant controls are either not satisfied or set to block access.
- Conditional Access does not apply to Windows sign-in, such as Windows Hello for Business. Conditional Access protects sign-in attempts to cloud resources, not the device sign-in process.
 
- **Continuous access evaluation:** Shows whether continuous access evaluation (CAE) was applied to the sign-in event.

We're continually adding more administrative portals to the list.
 
> [!NOTE]
> The Microsoft Admin Portals app applies to interactive sign-ins to the listed admin portals only. Sign-ins to the underlying resources or services like Microsoft Graph or Azure Resource Manager APIs aren't covered by this application. Those resources are protected by the [Windows Azure Service Management API](#windows-azure-service-management-api) app. This grouping enables customers to move along the MFA adoption journey for admins without impacting automation that relies on APIs and PowerShell. When you're ready, Microsoft recommends using a [policy requiring administrators perform MFA always](policy-old-require-mfa-admin.md) for comprehensive protection.
 
### Other applications
 
Administrators can add any Microsoft Entra registered application to Conditional Access policies. These applications might include:
