By default the Azure Key Vault has softdelete enabled with a 90 day retention. This option will
protect Key Vault items when deleted by accident. When deleted you are able to restore that item through the portal or PowerShell. But what if someone has deleted the Key Vault itself with all the items and softdeleted items included. There is no option to restore a Key Vault. In this article I will describe a way how to backup and restore a Key Vault when deleted.

Do you have an on-premises Active Directory environment syncing to Azure Active Directory? If so,
you may have run across a frustrating problem: An on-premises AD user license has expired but that user can still access resources on Azure AD. As long as you're on a Windows 10 computer with the Remote Server Administration Tools and the Azure PowerShell module installed, you can remedy this security risk by finding all expired AD accounts and revoking them.

Back in the day when The Chairman was first managing IT, the cost of storage mattered and there was
no cloud. It might also matter what kind of storage you were using. Naturally, you wanted the fastest local storage. But you needed to make sure you were getting the best value for your storage dollar. Today's challenge is based on this bygone scenario. You will most likely never need to use the expected solution. But as with all challenges, The Chairman hopes it will extend and sharpen your PowerShell scripting skills. The challenge is aimed at intermediate level scripters with advanced bonus elements.
