Introduction I was recently tasked to create and roll out a x64-bit Office package, which now is called Microsoft 365 Apps. I spend a great deal of time gathering information to get it as robust as possible and I believe I found a good balance between usability and fast provision
In this blog post, we’ll explore Windows Autopatch, which became generally available (GA) in July 2022 for customers with Windows 10/11 Enterprise E3 (or higher) at no additional costs. Because this new Microsoft cloud service supports Windows 365 Enterprise Cloud PCs, it got my full attention and curiosity about the
Introduction Microsoft just introduced an updated kit for IT pros to plan, test and validate deployment and management of desktops running Windows 10 Enterprise and Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise. This was earlier known as “Windows insider lab for Enterprise” or “Olympia”. The lab will cover technologies: So
How often have you clicked through numerous screens when starting the local office package? I know I have done my fair shares, and I am done with it. As we enter the cloud with more and more services, we also have new tools providing control across our devices. I
With the massive growth of Microsoft Teams since the start of the global COVID19 pandemic and Microsoft’s focus on pushing Teams as its primary collaboration interface. Organisations are now looking at how Teams can be used to optimise their End User experience by customising the solution to meet their
Old habits die hard when implementing new technologies for end users. The new world of Modern Workplace and working with online files can be a big jump for some users in your organisation, so it is nice to know that there are ways of making things feel a little
For some organizations there is a concern when deploying OneDrive for Business that users will access corporate data from their personal device. I completely understand you! To address those concerns, it is possible to restrict OneDrive so that it only synchronizes files to domain-joined computers. Normally in this case a
Governance and compliance in Office365 is more relevant than ever and Microsoft has a few tools in the toolbox that helps companies get compliant when it comes to documents in SharePoint Online, Teams, OneDrive for Business and Exchange Online. While GDPR shone a light on a lot of issues, it
Last year we wrote about Azure AD and password-less sign-in http://blog.mindcore.dk/2019/07/azure-ad-and-password-less-sign-in.html Now we also have support (Public preview) for this in hybrid environments, so let’s try it out. We will use the same Yubico security NFC as last time. First thing we need to be aware of is that we
On Tuesday we identified a “funny” little thing when using the web version of outlook. If we invited an internal user to a meeting and that user only had two letters in his alias the invite failed (xx@domain.com), invitations to internal people with mail addresses that had more that two
In the last two post we looked at extending Azure AD with our own attributes http://blog.mindcore.dk/2019/10/azure-ad-extension-attributes.html and how to use this attribute to dynamically grant access to a Microsoft team http://blog.mindcore.dk/2019/10/access-to-teams-based-on-our-own.html. This time we will create the team and dynamic group using PowerShell instead. In order to do this we
In our last post we looked at extending Azure AD with our own attributes http://blog.mindcore.dk/2019/10/azure-ad-extension-attributes.html Now let’s try to dynamically allow access to a Microsoft team based on the attribute. First we create a Team in Microsoft teams. In teams we create a new private team called TestTeam. We will
This time we will take a closer look on how easy it is to onboard clients into Microsoft Defender Advanced Threat Protection with System Center Configuration Manager. First we will go the the Microsoft Defender Security Center https://securitycenter.windows.com/ On this page we select Settings – Onboarding – Windows 10 –
Desktop analytics is now available but only integrated with SCCM, so no Intune configuration for now, but let’s give it a test spin. We will start by clicking Desktop Analytics in Microsoft 365 Device Management or by using this direct link https://aka.ms/desktopanalytics Select Start. Then we need to Accept service
Since we have Azure Sentinel in preview, let’s give it a test spin. Azure Sentinel is a cloud-native security information and event manager (SIEM) platform that uses built-in AI to help analyze large volumes of data across the enterprise. Azure Sentinel aggregates data from a lot of sources, including users,
This time let’s try to connect Store for Business with Intune and deploy the Company Portal to all users. First thing to do is to register Store for Business, so sign in to https://businessstore.microsoft.com using the same tenant account you use to sign into Intune. Select Manage: Click Settings –
This is a quick post about a question I often get – How do we install extra Proofing tools together with Office 365 ProPlus? In the early days of Office 365 C2R we did not have the option to install individual Proofing tools with Office Deployment Tool (ODT). But if
Back in March we wrote a post about using PowerShell to create Naming policies for Office 365 groups and teams. https://bit.ly/2W9hMlK Now this feature is available in the Azure portal. Go to Azure Active Directory and Groups: Naming Policy: Since we already added custom blocked words with PowerShell, we can
We are able to use multiple custom email templates in Office 365. This will allow us to use customized logos and text when sending encrypted emails. By default Office 365 will use the following layout when an external recipient receives an encrypted email: Let’s try to change this, first
In two of the latest we tested Azure Self-service password reset and integrated the feature with Windows 10: http://blog.mindcore.dk/2019/03/azure-active-directory-azure-ad-self.html http://blog.mindcore.dk/2019/03/azure-ad-password-reset-on-login-screen.html This time let’s use the same user, and enable it to use Password-less phone sign-in with the Microsoft Authenticator app. This feature is in public preview and you need to
We now have Azure AD Password Protection generally available, this will allow us to eliminate easily guessed passwords. By using it we can lower the risk of password spray attacks. Password spraying is using a large number of usernames and loops them with a single password, this will give a
We can now enforce a Naming Policy for Office 365 Groups, lets give it a test drive. With the Naming Policy feature we can define prefix or suffix that can be automatically added to group names and at the same time we can define words that are blocked from use
Microsoft has made the new Office Client Policy Service available as preview, and this is looking promising. The solution is a cloud-based service that can enforce policy settings for Office 365 ProPlus on the office client. This is possible even if the device isn’t domain joined or otherwise managed. The
