The hosting venue has changed to serve you better.
Just plodding away here–moved the Get-ActiveSyncDeviceReport script to PowerShell Gallery. What is this script, you ask?
Well, you can use it to export a mailbox’s associated ActiveSync Device IDs–great info to have for documentation, security, or during a migration planning event where you need to populate permitted devices.… [ Continue reading ]
This week, I was helping someone troubleshoot authentication issues when hybrid migration mailboxes to Exchange Online.
In order to migrate a mailbox successfully, the EWS endpoint virtual directory should have NTLM/Negotiate authentication method available.
You can quickly see what the endpoint is showing available by using this function:
Function Test-MigrationEndpointAuthentication($Url)
{
# Build URL
$Url = $Url.TrimEnd('.').TrimEnd('/').TrimEnd('.')… [ Continue reading ] 
Sometimes, you just get too much stuff, and you need to filter it.
It’s true in life, with YouTube cat videos, and with M365 Content Search.
In this post, we’ll talk about using the FolderId parameter to include/exclude mailbox folders in a content search. … [ Continue reading ]
As I mentioned in my previous post, I’ve been trudging towards migrating the 60 or so tools, modules, and scripts I published on the now-retired TechNet Gallery over to the PowerShell Gallery.
I want to make sure I migrate the things that people find most useful–so far, I’m about halfway and wanted to do a quick check-in:
PowerShell Gallery | Packages matching atguilmette
Let me know what tools you’re looking for and I’ll prioritize getting those up!… [ Continue reading ]
Post Technet Gallery requirement, I’ve been slowly going through my tools and updating them for the PowerShell Gallery. I came across this tool I built for troubleshooting a deployment at a customer a few years ago and immediately dove into updating it with new endpoints.… [ Continue reading ]
Not a week goes by where I don’t get asked a question about eDiscovery or retention of data in the Office 365 (or Microsoft 365 platform). We’ll mainly focus on mailbox questions here, though a lot of the concepts apply to SharePoint content as well.… [ Continue reading ]
Just a quick post–

In light of some recent events, I thought I’d build on another project I have going on and drop this quick script here for talking to the Office 365 Service Communications API.
The Office 365 Service Communications API is a REST-based interface to retrieve data from the service. … [ Continue reading ]
Finally–we’re to the good stuff!
In the first part of this series, we talked about setting the stage with the requirements, and then went on to create the basic staging and production sites, update the retention policies to exclude the staging site, and configure the taxonomy.… [ Continue reading ]
In my previous post on building a video portal with approvals, we started the necessary steps to build an internal video portal for SharePoint online. ICYMI, the things we covered:
We’re going to continue on in this post with the site customization.… [ Continue reading ]
A few weeks ago, a customer asked me for some recommendations around building and curating a video portal for SharePoint Online content. Normally, we’d look at a Microsoft Stream-based solution, but given the upcoming changes to Stream and the customer’s requirements around content retention and approvals, I thought that maybe another avenue was more appropriate.… [ Continue reading ]
I posted a really non-technical thing a few days ago about a walking or pitch deck for myself on LinkedIn, and I got flooded with personal messages about it (both LinkedIn and email). I thought I’d break down what I think makes a good deck, how to build one, and some examples of other great decks that can help you hone yours.… [ Continue reading ]
Earlier this week, I got a request from one of my readers to re-publish the SharePoint Site Access Report I put together back in July of 2019.
So, I’ve done exactly that. It’s a quick report and has been useful for several of my customers–maybe it can be useful for you, too! … [ Continue reading ]
Just a quick post today–I’ve re-published my Wipe-ExchangeOnlineMailbox script to the PowerShell gallery.
Hopefully, this helps everyone who continues to want to use this script. Good luck!
And, if you accidentally delete too much stuff, be sure to check out my post about recovering from self-inflicted wounds: Using Restore-RecoverableItems, or “how I saved my own bacon”
As many of you know, I recently published a Power Automate book that focuses on beginner concepts. I wanted to go ahead and make a small sample of that available.
Here, you can find a fun chapter to connect Power Automate and Forms!… [ Continue reading ]
