A long time ago, in 1991, a new programing language was born: Visual Basic became 25 this month! See @ThatVBGuy and the blogpost here: Happy 25th Birthday, VB! I personally started with VB 3.0 in 1993 – the first release on Windows 3.x. And VB 3.0 made Windows Apps available for me (yes, I am that old). For some features of VB14, check out Visual Studio Toolbox: What’s New in Visual Basic 14. ...

Delegate365 version 5.2 has many new features (see here). In D365 version 5.3 we have a new feature for changing Office 365 licenses for users with already assigned OU’s. This article describes how this works in detail with an example, step by step. Why did we add this feature? Well, a D365 customer had the requirement to auto assign Office 365 licenses. This could already be done in the previous versions of D365. But the peculiarity was that Office 365 licenses should be set gradually. So for example, in May users of an OU should get a license for SharePoint Online, in June for Yammer and in July for Exchange Online. This is a special use case which could only be done in D365 manually or partly, but not automatically. So we added this feature in the product. ...

Delegate365 version 5.2 is here. We skipped version 5.1 because of many new features (which would have been version 5.1) and the OpenID Connect authentication update (which we changed in version 5.2). So we combined both updates in version 5.2 to minimize the effort. If you are coming from D365 version 5.0 you have not missed anything. See the new features of version 5.2 described in here. Important: For the update of your existing D365 tenant, it is necessary to run the Delegate365 Setup again. Please see Delegate365 now uses OpenID Connect - or how to run setup to update to version 5.2 for the step-by-step details. ...

Microsoft partner organizations as atwork can sell and manage subscriptions of Microsoft Office 365 and Microsoft Azure with the Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) program (https://partnercenter.microsoft.com). Can they? Well, basically yes. But only partly… The reason is that some services in Azure are only available in the (old) Service Manager Portal (https://manage.windowsazure.com) while CSP only makes the (new) Azure Resource Manager Portal (“ARM” for Azure Resource Manager portal, https://portal.azure.com) available. This currently affects services as for example Azure Active Directory management, Operational Insights, ServiceBus and some more. ...

This method has been deprecated since 2020 and is no longer available. The content in this article is provided for historical reference only. The next version of Delegate365 will be version 5.2. This article describes the necessary steps to use the new version – and why. Maybe you have recognized that we skip version 5.1. Well, the reason is that we added some new features in version 5.1 (an article with the new features will be posted shortly) and then we switched the authentication system. So we decided to do only one upgrade process and continue with version 5.2 (with the new authentication). So after version 5.0 now there comes 5.2 (you have not missed anything). ...
