The hosting venue has changed to serve you better.
OneDrive for Business is, from my perspective, one of the most under-utilized but benefit-rich parts of the Office 365 platform, allowing organizations (especially organizations that subscribe to the E3 or higher SKU) virtually unlimited storage, versioning, and recovery capability for their file-based storage.… [ Continue reading ]
Yes, these seems like a silly feature to add (since you can just do a single identity from the haveibeenpwned.com website, buuuuuuuttttttttttt…..), I wanted to showcase the script’s versatility while at a customer, so I added this one on the fly today.… [ Continue reading ]
As you may have figured out from the title, I’ve got a guest post today. Jorge Lopez is a Premier Field Engineer, and has spent a lot of time in the trenches with Windows, AD, and Azure AD, and currently works helping customers resolve hybrid identity issues. … [ Continue reading ]
This is just a quick update–if you’ve been using my Get-UserHoldPolicies script to check out the holds applied to your mailboxes, I’ve updated it to include the DelayHoldApplied property.
A Delay Hold is applied whenever a hold is removed from a mailbox (as in, the mailbox is excluded from an inherited policy or manually removed from an explicitly included policy), and stays in effect for 30 days. … [ Continue reading ]
It’s been coming for a while.
Change is inevitable.
SharePoint Modern UI is here.
And, we’ve begun updating libraries and lists.
Per this link, https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/SharePoint/Update-on-modern-list-tenant-opt-out-removal/td-p/469297, we changed the opt-out methods (from tenant-level to site-level). … [ Continue reading ]
Right before sending a customer the link for the tool, I decided to test it and noticed that I encountered an unexpected credential prompt. I updated the parameter name, and then added a new feature as well–a test to see if your tenant has the correct licensing to enable Password writeback. … [ Continue reading ]
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.
But what if I wanted to check bunches of stuff on the fly?… [ 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. I’ve made a few changes to the way it works (hopefully which you all think is for the better). … [ 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 ]
