Last Friday, the cloudusergroup organized the Virtual Community Event #ADCD2022, the Austrian Developer Community Day 2022. We had 25+ interesting sessions with great speakers and a great virtual day of the event. Here are some impressions of it. There hasn’t been a local community event for cloud developers for a long time. So we decided to hold such an event. Martina Grom and I, Toni Pohl, started to organize the event end of 2021. Due to the current Covid situation, it was clear that the event could unfortunately only take place virtually. Thankfully we got great support from Rainer Stropek, Martin Ullrich, Christian Glessner and Zaid Zaim. and we found some sponsors for advertising and for financing the community platform Hopin we wanted to use for the first time: Thanks to Microsoft Austria, atwork, Software Architects, hololux, tietoevry and to Coding Club Linz for your support! ...

Static website hosting in Azure Storage is really cool and quick method for simple deployment scenarios. Azure CDN edge nodes provide the cache and distribution layer with custom domains, rules, and further configuration options for such a static website. But what to do if you update the static website and it doesn’t deliver the new content? How can you force an update? See the solution here. In this sample, we have a community website www.cloudusergroup.at running in Azure. You can find out how to create and to deploy a static website on an Azure Storage Account at Static website hosting in Azure Storage and a tutorial at Tutorial: Host a static website on Blob Storage. In this case, the website has a custom domain bound to the website with Azure CDN, see more at Quickstart: Integrate an Azure Storage account with Azure CDN. ...

Azure storage accounts are a great and inexpensive way to store lots of data. I am using Azure Table storage to store large amounts of structured data for various tools. I needed to filter all rows that have a specific field that shows Null. While this sounds simple, it is a bit tricky. Here’s how. The problem is that columns showing “Null” just don’t exist, but they are shown in list with Null. Therefore, it does not work to filter them out. In my example, I had a table with a column called Users (of type Int32) that contained items with a number and others that had no value. So, the following query filters for a timeframe and all items having a Users value greater than 0. Unfortunately, the query also shows elements with the Null value… ...

Working with Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365, Azure Active Directory as an identity and management system becomes more and more important. Like Active Directory, Azure AD grows throughout time with guest accounts, cloud accounts and synchronized accounts. From a governance and lifecycle point of view - and also for security reasons - it is therefore important to clean up Azure AD from time to time. The cleanup process supports a healthy lifecycle management. In this article we describe how to quickly identify guest users in your own Azure AD with on-board resources. ...

SharePoint (or Microsoft) lists provide a good storage for not too extensive structured data. Sometimes administrators want to restrict access to certain items or lines. This approach shows how you, as an administrator, can do this without using item permissions, but with simpler and easier-to-manage views and permissions. The goal Administrators often want users to see only certain records or only their own records from a larger list. Technically, it is possible to set permissions for specific users per item (see below). On the other hand, setting item permissions is not a good solution in every use case. If a SharePoint list is filled by a given user or by a task, and specific people shall see only their data in a list, depending on their department, or similar organizational information, setting item permissions can be elaborate in terms of effort. ...

I had to export email messages from a specific folder in my Outlook mailbox to a CSV file for further processing. Nothing special, just a quick export. I noticed that Outlook allows messages to be exported, but the date of the message is missing in the export file! Really? So here is a workaround to quickly export email messages using Graph PowerShell. Why PowerShell Of course there are many ways to export emails. Unfortunately, the Outlook method is unsatisfactory. When opening the File menu in Outlook for the desktop, there is an “Open & Export” menu which has an Import/Export function. Well, the wizard allows to export messages to a CSV or to a PST file. ...

Microsoft announced the retirement of the Microsoft Service Communications API (Msg MC299902). Therefore, we changed the service health components in Delegate365 to use the successor API functions with immediate effect and to get more data. A new setup of Delegate365 is required. See the details here. The Service health module in Delegate365 shows, what´s happening in a specific Microsoft 365 tenant at a glance to all authorized users. Contrary to the required authorizations in M365, this is not necessary in Delegate365. All admins can view the service health and the message center posts. ...

The Cloud Hub Teams app is a business application that provides data from your Microsoft 365 tenant, the Message Center and the Incident Center, as well as the status and history of global Azure services. Since Microsoft recently announced the discontinuation of the Microsoft Service Communications API, all organizations using the Cloud Hub Teams app have to renew their app permissions once in order to be able to use the successor API functions. See how it works here. ...
