I've created a comprehensive `AZURE_APP_CONFIGURATION.md` file that covers:

1. Background and reasons for using a custom app ID
2. Step-by-step instructions for creating and configuring the Azure AD application
3. How to update the scripts with the new app ID
4. Common troubleshooting issues and solutions
5. Best practices for security and maintenance
6. Required roles and permissions
7. Additional resources for further reading

The documentation is structured to be both beginner-friendly and detailed enough for experienced administrators. It includes all the issues we encountered and their solutions, as well as additional potential problems users might face.
