We will update Delegate365 to version 4.5.1 shortly. In this version a fix was made in the resources, “booking delegates” feature. Thanks to Henry K. for reporting this issue! The issue: In Office 365 resource mailboxes “Booking delegates” had an other status than in Delegate365, depending in which way they were created or when they were updated. Analysis: Let’s have a look in the Office 365 / Exchange Admin Center regarding this feature: ...

The second innovation of Delegate version 4.5 is the automatic license assignment. This brand new feature is described in this article. So what is this automatic license assignment in Delegate365? In the past we got customer feedback that (mostly in hybrid scenarios) new users do not get an Office365 license automatically - when they are synchronized to the cloud (or when they are assigned to an OU in Delegate365 automatically). So new users need to be assigned a specific Office 365 license in an extra step via PowerShell or other tools. ...

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. ...
