Let's start by creating a configuration baseline for our main tenant, Contoso Inc., to monitor for configuration drift.
In the Microsoft Entra admin center, you can find tenant governance under Entra ID.
This tenant has several conditional access policies and cross-tenant access policies, as well as device compliance policies.
We've already given the service permissions to read all the policies in this tenant, and that's gonna be required to run the snapshot process and will be needed later to monitor for configuration drift.
I'm gonna give you a first look at the new configuration snapshots page, where you can capture the configuration of your existing tenant settings to detect drift or to use as a baseline for other tenants.
I'll create a new snapshot.
I'll begin by giving it a name, Contoso Core Compliance, and a description, Contoso Core Compliance May 2026.
Then I select the resource types that I want to snapshot.
You can use more than 200 resource types to monitor configuration across Entra, Intune, Exchange, Teams, Defender, and Purview.
First, I'll select conditional access policies, then cross-tenant access policies, and external identity policies in Entra.
I can review the resource permissions and expand out.
Then I just need to confirm by clicking create snapshot.
That'll take a moment to query and write the configuration settings.
Once it's completed, I can click into it to view the details, and in the configuration baseline tab, I can access adjacent representation of all the configuration settings.
