You cannot compare today's IT workplace with that of the past. Even without the changes in recent months, which have led to an increase in remote work, daily work for IT personnel has changed considerably.
Microsoft has about 258 million paid seats for Office 365, The Verge reported in April 2020. As a “shared medium” for a lot of organizations around the globe, it should be clear that there must be limits in the Microsoft 365 ecosystem, e. g. message size limits or Teams member limits. In this blog we'll cover recipient limits in Exchange Online.
In early June, Microsoft released a new PowerShell module for managing Exchange Online to the public. This module was already announced at Ignite 2019, but it took some time for the module to go into preview end of last year before reaching Generally Available status.
In my first part of Exchange Online Automation with EXOv2 module, I covered how you can use Dave’s PowerShell module for cutting down the Azure AD application registration and configuration. Also, how and why you should store your secrets in Azure Key Vault.
You may have heard a few terms referencing Microsoft 365 platform success before, such as consumption, activation, usage, uptake and adoption. They may seem clear enough and are certainly buzz words being thrown around the last couple of years, but it’s not necessarily straight forward. It is important to know the lingo and ensure your focus is on the right area or data when it comes to your implementation and your longer-term Microsoft journey.
How can EXO recipient management be done without the need of administrative accounts? This question has been asked for a long time.Microsoft Graph does not cover the entire recipient management in Exchange Online and Microsoft customers have been asking for a solution for a long time. Now as Microsoft turns off Basic authentication, it looks like there is some movement.
There's a lot of content out there about backups for Office 365. I personally have written and spoken a lot about backups for Office 365. If you ask 10 experts, you will probably get 10 different opinions about how, or why, or what you should or should not backup in Office 365. Depending on the day (and, let’s be honest, depending on who I am working for) I may give you different answers.
The great thing about Office 365 is that it is a constantly updated service. For your subscription, your organization is constantly getting new features and functionality that can greatly improve the overall Office 365 experience. Of course, the downside of that is that IT pros working in Office 365 need to keep up to date on these changes..
25 years ago, I was working for Microsoft. And one morning we received a message with the subject line “Why am I on this mailing list? Please remove me from it.” This was followed by another email saying “Me Too!”, and then another “Me Too!”, and another, and another. These were followed by multiple emails with subject line “People stop with the reply alls”. Before we knew it, our Exchange environment was brought to a standstill because of the enormous amount of email sent via this Distribution Group.
Microsoft postponed deprecation of Basic Authentication in Exchange Online for existing tenants. Jaap Wesselius (MVP) wrote about this topic already here and explained what Modern Authentication means and how you can monitor existing usage of legacy auth (which Basic authentication basically is).
