New acronym to remember. But hear me out, this is the native tool most of us have been waiting for!
Instead of manually checking settings across different portals and hoping nothing drifted overnight, UTCM lets you:
- Capture a baseline snapshot of your tenant’s current configuration
- Continuously monitor your tenant and automatically flag when settings deviate from your baseline
- Act quickly when something moves out of compliance
- Get clear insights across services like Entra, Exchange Online, Intune, Defender, Teams, Purview, and more
The system runs checks every 6 hours and flags any changes. You can monitor up to 800 resources daily across your tenant!
There are some setup steps you’ll need to add the UTCM service principal and grant permissions, but the time you’ll save on manual monitoring makes it worthwhile.

This is still in preview and currently works for only a limited set of tenants. I haven’t been able to test it in my environment yet. Has anyone started testing this? I’d love to hear your experiences
