Delegate365 version 2.9 is a new milestone in the evolution process of our Office 365 Delegation Add-On product. Have a look at the great new features: New Design We completely rebuilt the design and optimized the website performance. We now make use of the latest Bootstrap framework and optimized all Client-side Styles and Code to reduce load time as well as using the Javascript framework AngularJS and SignalR for receiving a great website performance. The whole website now uses these technics for a good user experience with immediate response times – the user sees what´s going on, f.e. when opening a distribution list manipulating members of a distribution list or when syncing data. The page setup is renewed and the menu has been cleaned up somewhat. See the details here. ...

As described here we are pleased to announce the new synchronization function in D365 version 2.9. We completely rebuilt the sync process and added rules for automatic user assignment to specific OU´s. Why Sync? Since D365 needs to deal with (ten)thousands of users in an AAD D365 uses an cache layer to deliver a good user experience and performance. So changes which are made outside of D365 - like in the Office 365 portal, via PowerShell or another App – may not be visible immediately in D365. ...

In the coming week there will be the next update of Delegate rolled out. This will be Delegate version 2.9 which includes these updates: New Synchronization: We improved the sync processes (for domains, security groups, distribution lists and user and licenses) which now are combined in one simple step. The user import now can be configured with rules for putting users in specific OU´s depending on special properties (country, security groups, AAD properties…) ...

In Delegate365 version 2.8 there´s a new setup wizard included (as announced here). With this function companies no longer need to create a (temporary) administrator user for doing the setup process of Delegate365 but instead can setup their Azure Active Directory on their own for working with Delegate365. Prerequisites To configure your real company AAD with Delegate365 you get two access information by atwork: The Setup-URL (which usually goes like https://[yourcompany].azurewebsites.net/setup) and a configuration password (which is in fact a code) to give you the access for the setup process. This code is important and valid for this specific Delegate365 appliance. With that code you can setup the service accounts till the code is changed. More about that later. ...

New Synchronization: moved to version 2.9 (updated) More to come in the next version(s)… BTW: We added the update date information and bullets in the style sheet (which was missing) in the changelog on https://delegate365.com/changelog. ...

Since we often create Azure Websites I want to show a step-by-step guide how to use custom domains with your Azure Website. In my case I´m using the ISP GoDaddy.com and their web-interface and the Azure portal. Custom domain To use custom domains see also our previous post Manage custom domains in Azure websites. So I want to add the custom domain office365conference.net to an Azure website with an Umbraco web (this CMS can handle multiple-domains). We already created the website with the Azure website-URL office365pillscall4papers.azurewebsites.net - sorry, I didn´t have a shorter one . ...
