We are using a lot of PowerShell for configuring Office 365 tenants and Exchange Online. When getting new requests, I usually use my existing PS-Scripts to connect to Exchange Online, modify them, execute them and that’s it – that’s the real world scenario. Recently I had the issue that – when connecting to Exchange Online – I always got the error “PowerShell has stopped working” or when using PS ISE “PowerShell_ise has stopped working”. ...
With Delegate365 version 4.4 we changed the auditing format in the portal. Auditing works in the same way as before and logs all operations, but the way how data is stored and handled has been changed. Read the details here. Why did we change the storage format? Well, we have customers with many users and objects in Office365. Since Delegates executes automatic sync operation multiple times a day Delegate can gather a lot of (changed) data each time. So we had instances of D365 running where the auditing log was some million lines long. With the logging the D365 SQL database grew immeasurably and the auditing log took a long time to open (or download) the list in the D365 portal. In some cases the auditing log could not be opened since the data fetching from the database took too long. So we needed to change that. The new logging saves data to an CSV file instead to the SQL database on a monthly basis. By outsourcing logging the D365 database stays small and performant while D365 can make use of simply appending lines to the logfiles. ...

Today we released Delegate365 version 4.3. Now the user types are shown in the users list to see these information at a glance. Custom views got new filters by user type and text search was generalized in the D365 portal. Also custom email addresses can be added now. See the details here…. New type information in users list: The users list now got a new column “type” showing the type of the user object in Office 365. Since all “mailboxes” have a user object this column helps admins to see of what type the user is at a glance. The type column works in the same way as the other user properties and can be searched, sorted and filtered (see below). ...

When updating to a new build of Windows 10 Technical Preview Windows Enterprise must be reactivated. There are some Microsoft product keys on the net for various versions of Win10 TP.

Here’s a workaround how to activate Windows 10 Enterprise: winaero.com/blog: How to activate Windows 10 build 10240 ...
