During summer time the next Delegate365 version was born that brings more mailbox and distribution group features, more sync rule options and some minor changes in logging and some fixes. See the details here. Delegate365 version 6.6 brings some improvements on the basis of version 6.5. New sync rules: The menu administration / sync / “sync options” has been renamed to “sync rules” in Version 6.5. Now, the “user license assignments” have been extended with additional options as in the screenshot below. A sync rule can now be switched on or off with the “Active” switch to simplify testing (“On” is the default setting for existing rules). The new “order” allows to reorder the rules. “Action” now allows not only to add Office 365 licenses, but also to remove the selected licenses, which was a often requested feature. “Apply to” allows to execute the rule against “all users”, “sign-in allowed” or “sign-in blocked” users. The new options deliver a much more granular control of license settings. The active sync rules are considered at each sync operation in Delegate365. Don’t forget to save any changes at the page bottom “Save” button! Remember, the more rules are enabled, the longer the sync operation will run, in large Office 365 tenants this might take hours, since every object must be checked and the operations will be executed. ...

Well, it’s 1st of July and guess what? I got reawarded as a Microsoft MVP for the 5th time. And, I was accepted by two Product Groups for my contributions of the last year: I got the MVP award for Microsoft Azure and for Office Development. Wow! See my MVP-Profile here. For me, being awarded as a Microsoft MVP is a great honor. This award is a marvelous acknowledgment for all my activities as conferences, meetups, blog articles and all my other contributions to the various national and international IT-communities. I started as a MVP for “Client Development” in 2013 which then was re-organized in “Windows Development”. It was a very exiting time to be part of that group among great personalities! Today, I’m doing mostly projects around Microsoft Azure and Office Development, so I’m really proud and happy that my community contributions ended up in these two new competencies. ...

Alles hat ein Ende, so auch unser Office 365 Sofort-Test. Der Sofort-Test von Office 365 wurde von uns gemeinsam mit Microsoft Deutschland 2012 entwickelt und ermöglichte das rasche und anonyme Testen von Office 365 Services. Nun, nach fünf Jahren, ist Office 365 erfolgreich im deutschen Markt angekommen und der Office 365 Sofort-Test hat ausgedient.

Der Besucher erhielt einen vorgenerierten Office 365 Benutzer, der Zugang zu Microsoft SharePoint Online, Exchange Online und weiteren Diensten bereit stelle. ...

Delegate365 provides various automation tasks. One of these is the new License Assignment rule to automatically assign Office 365 licenses to users based on their user properties or on their group membership. See how this works in real world with a demo scenario here. The License Assignment is available since version 6.4. For details, pls. see the description here. This new feature allows to assign Office 365 licenses in a very custom way to users and runs at each Delegate365 synchronization operation, So, whenever a SyncOp runs, Delegate365 checks the sync rules and assigns licenses as specified. So let’s see how this works step-by-step as follows. ...

Delegate365 version 6.5 is here soon. With that update, there comes new functionality and some further improvements. Read the details here. Notification center: Now, the notification center shows just the last 100 messages (instead of all unread messages) to reduce the loading time for all unread messages that can be produced in a large number by the synchronization process. Anyway, you can access all messages as before by clicking the “Read all messages” link. “Clear all messages” sets all messages to “read”, so that they no longer show up in the notification center. This step improves the dashboard’s loading time. ...
