The hosting venue has changed to serve you better.
Today, I pressed in a little bit on exploring CSOM–at least as it relates to the OneDrive for Business Admin tool.
One of my peers asked if there was a command that we could use to check to see if a site had been put on a retention hold. … [ Continue reading ]
This update comes from a user–it’s a pretty simple one.
I posted the script Remove-ProxyAddresses back in 2017 after writing a blog post on the same topic. In my script, I had covered Mailboxes, MailUsers, and Contacts. I did not, however, include RemoteMailboxes, as my original thinking was “if you moved it there, you already got rid of the bad proxies.”
Which, didn’t turn out to be necessarily true (especially if you used my other way of removing proxy addresses via AAD Connect). … [ Continue reading ]
This afternoon, while working with a colleague, I was alerted to a customer that appears to have the same 6-character password set for every user, which honestly, I feel like violates the very notion of a password. … [ Continue reading ]
While troubleshooting an issue for a peer today running the Exchange Hybrid Configuration Wizard, I suspected that the environment might have an authenticated proxy in the way. So, I dug out some code I used in the AAD Connect Network Test for Invoke-WebRequest.… [ Continue reading ]
I hadn’t touched this one in a while, but a recent request from a customer had me checking in on it. I tidied it up (no one likes people staring at their dirty laundry), and updated the scripting to be more efficient. … [ Continue reading ]
One of the up-and-coming combination phish-ransom attacks is to trick the mark into thinking that you’ve got access to their data, and then get them to send money to a Bitcoin address to protect them from data leakage. … [ Continue reading ]
This week, while working with one of my peers, a request came in to bulk convert all Office 365 groups to Microsoft Teams. In the Teams UI, you’re only presented the choice to upgrade groups you own, one at a time, to Teams.… [ Continue reading ]
One of my customers recently asked for a solution to checking a particular Microsoft Team multiple times a day for new channel additions. In their organization, someone is responsible for creating a new channel every time new item for review is published, and then all of the communications, files, and data related to that item is stored in that particular time.… [ Continue reading ]
While contemplating methods to determine whether a file had changed or been updated, I thought that an MD5 check would be a pretty simple way to figure out if something was different.… [ Continue reading ]
Hey, all! One AAD tool update deserves another!
Every so often, I check in to make sure I’m keeping the AAD Connect Network Test Tool as fresh as I can. … [ Continue reading ]
It’s been a while since I’ve updated this popular tool, and the need was brought to my attention by a peer who noticed an attribute being exported to on-premises AD (but failing):
As it turns out, the msDS-KeyCredentialLink is required for Windows Hello for Business Hybrid.… [ Continue reading ]
I’ve been tinkering around a little with this, hoping to bring some better updates (so maybe you can see who is generating your data exports and go smack them around).
I’ve got a few updated fields added to the tool, so be sure to go check it out!… [ Continue reading ]
If you’ve ever struggled to find out who your current session is logged in as when you connected to Office 365, here’s a tidbit to shed some light on it:
(Get-PSSession |?{$_.ComputerName -like “*outlook.com”})[0].RunSpace.ConnectionInfo.Credential.UserName
You can also use RunSpace.… [ Continue reading ]
One of the lesser-known boundaries of Office 365’s Security & Compliance Center is that we only allow 2TB per day export volume. When we talk about exports, we’re talking about the idea of taking content that has been identified via a content search mechanism (content search, eDiscovery case search, etc) and then staged for download.… [ Continue reading ]
This morning, looking for an answer to something, I stumbled across a question that seemed easy enough to fix: Is it possible to export the GAL from Outlook if I don’t have access to a server?… [ Continue reading ]
Every now and then, I get a ahead of myself. I’ve updated a typo in the script on the gallery, a vestige of when I updated the script to use server-side filtering. … [ Continue reading ]
One of the the things that we’ve learned about the cloud over the past few years is that you still need an environment (a utility server, an app server, a something) to run batch jobs and custom scripts against your environments. … [ Continue reading ]
While many people use Office 365 retention policies as part of their data governance strategy, there are many customers who either do not enforce retention or do so only for items under some sort of litigation hold.… [ Continue reading ]
Who knew you’d need an update to a tool meant to delete things?
After working with a partner today and an out-of-control email application spamming user mailboxes, we decided an update was necessary. … [ Continue reading ]
A new year, a new update for Get-UserHoldPolicies! Woo!
I stumbled across some additional information today regarding deciphering hold policies for mailboxes while troubleshooting another issue and decided to update my Get-UserHoldPolicies tool to reflect it.… [ Continue reading ]
