In IT, Office 365 evolved to a standard for collaboration and Software-as-a-Service products within the Microsoft world. We at atwork are delivering highly qualified architecture, guidance and solutions based on Microsoft Office 365 and Microsoft Azure. So, we wanted to point out this fact and are marketing our brand with the domain name atwork365.com in future. Today, we started and added our new domain atwork365.com as address to our company website: https://www.atwork365.com ...

Office 365 users often ask about user profiles in various Office 365 services and where to change what. Since the Office 365 products do have a history, there are different places where user profile data is stored and how specific properties are synchronized. So, we at atwork thought that it makes sense to inform about the current user profile status in Office 365 with this article. AAD Basics The basis of all Office 365 services is the central Azure Active Directory (AAD) that stores all users, groups, licenses and relations of an Office 365 tenant (*.onmicrosoft.com). Entities can be managed in the Office-Portal, with scripts (PowerShell, etc.) or custom code (accessing the Microsoft API’s), or in a hybrid scenario with AAD Connect or ADFS. Once a user is created in AAD, there are a bunch of user properties available, as the User Principal Name (UPN, which is the login name), the person’s name and address data, Office 365 licenses, and more. All Office 365 products require such a user identity for sign-in. Once logged in, users benefit from Single-Sign-On (SSO) experience with one single identity. ...

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.

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

Office 365 Groups provide a bunch of useful features for collaboration. In some cases, users want to send emails from an Office 365 group as sender. Here’s the “HowTo” to accomplish “SendAs” permissions to an Office 365 group for users. By default, users do not have any permissions to send from an Office 365 Group. So, if you try to send an email with such a sender address, you will get a reply similar as here. ...
