- To troubleshoot sign-in for a specific administrator, you can use the sign-in logs. The sign-in logs let you filter **Authentication requirement** for specific users. Any sign-in where **Authentication requirement** is **Single-factor authentication** means there was no multi-factor authentication policy that was required for the sign-in.

- To choose which policy to enable based on your user licenses, we have a new MFA enablement wizard to help you [compare MFA policies](concept-mfa-licensing.md#compare-multi-factor-authentication-policies) and see which steps are right for your organization. The wizard shows administrators who were protected by MFA in the last 30 days.

-To programmatically create a report listing all users with Admins roles in your tenant and their strong authentication status, you can run a [PowerShell script](https://github.com/microsoft/AzureADToolkit/blob/main/src/Find-AADToolkitUnprotectedUsersWithAdminRoles.ps1). This script enumerates all permanent and eligible built-in and custom role assignments as well as groups with roles assigned, and finds users that are either not registered for MFA or not signing in with MFA by evaluating their authentication methods and their sign-in activity.
