If one of your coworkers created a LogicApp some months ago and you want to “de-personalize” the connections used in a flow, you can modify the settings easily – if you know how to. So, in my case, in a LogicApp that’s sending emails and adding users to the newsletter system, the creator used a personal Office 365 account. I wanted to change that to an email “service” account. So I created a new mailbox account as first step. ...

Many of us have a Microsoft Account (MSA) that we use for Microsoft Azure or similar Microsoft services. But in reality, with Office 365, we’re used to work with our Work-or-School Account (AAD). So, often it is helpful to forward all mails from one MSA to the work account primarily used. This can be accomplished easily! Login to https://outlook.com with your MSA. In Outlook for the web, open the settings icon and click Options. ...
It was a busy week! Ignite is the largest and leading event for IT-Professionals and Decision-Makers in the Microsoft universe. This year, the conference took place in Orlando, Florida, from 25th to 29th September. With approximately 30,000 attendees and about 700 breakout, a lot of theater-sessions a large expo and a lot of networking this event was … big #dataoverflow. See my personal impressions here. Welcome to Florida After the first Ignite conference in Chicago in May 2015 and in Atlanta in September 2016, the event location this year was Orlando. From our company, atwork, five persons attended (see our colleagues Dominik, Andreas and Jens from Germany with the blue atwork T-Shirts below) and Martina Grom was a speaker. Florida did welcome us with hot and humid weather with a lot of sunshine and a bit of scattered rain showers – back in summer time. So, we used the weekend before Ignite for visiting a Disney Park and the Star Wars universe with our MVP pal Loryan. For us, the conference started on Sunday with a pre-day and a lot of technical information. ...
In part one, we saw how the Microsoft Graph API enables programmatic access to Office 365 groups. Now it’s time to let Azure Functions help us with the desired workflow. For the following steps, an Azure subscription and a Global Admin in the target Office 365 tenant is required. The plan We want our provision group function to be able to create a new Office 365 group without any user interaction. So, we need an app with the permission to accomplish the operations in our Office 365 tenant, in the same way as did for the administrator account in part 1. The key is, to create such an application first and to use that access data in our code. The workflow will execute our function, pass the parameters, and the function will do the work. So, these are the necessary steps. ...
Office 365 groups span over various Office 365 services and provide a great way for collaborating. By default, every user can create an Office 365 group. While self-service is a good thing and many businesses adopted into that direction, some companies still prefer the controlled approach. In real world environments, organizations usually want to restrict the group provisioning so that IT can control the wild growth of groups. This article series shows how to create an Office 365 group with an attached approval process with SharePoint Online, Flow and Azure functions. See how this works here! ...
Many users including myself love OneNote. It’s quick and allows to store valuable but unstructured data very well. I wanted to change the storage location of my OneNote notebook from my personal OneDrive to OneDrive For Business. See the How-To here! You get Microsoft OneNote for free at https://www.onenote.com/download. By default OneNote is persisting notebooks in the personal OneDrive cloud storage and syncs changes between the local client (if installed) and the cloud. That’s ok for most scenarios and very convenient. ...

It’s a not so well known feature, that admins can transfer services in Microsoft Azure to reorganize their cloud services. This can be accomplished in the Azure Portal or programmatically. See here, how this works. So, you can move services between resource groups and you can move services to another Azure subscription.This can be done in the (new) Azure Portal portal.azure.com. When opening a resource, you see the “change” links to change the resource group and to change the subscription as in the screenshot here: ...
