Technology close to the user
A user cannot sign in to Microsoft 365 even though the account looks correct locally.
I first verify where the fault actually lives: client, account or service. From there I check account state in AD, look at synchronization between local AD and Microsoft 365, and follow the sign-in attempts until the real cause becomes clear.
The issue turns out to be a sync conflict that locks the account in the cloud but not locally. The account is stabilized immediately and the user is back to work without interruption.
