Sometimes organizations want to make certain data available to dynamic groups. The good news is: SharePoint Online supports Dynamic Groups. Here is a step-by-step guide to show you how it works. With Dynamic Groups, members can be grouped based on specific characteristics, for example if a user property exists, they are assigned to a certain department and more. This is very useful if only certain users should be members of such a group, especially in large companies. In this short article, we create a new Dynamic Group in Azure AD, and assign the Group to a SharePoint Online site. ...

Carrying out a cleanup process from time to time helps against IT garbage. If you are an Microsoft 365 admin, the following post will help you to find out unused teams. In large organizations, many teams are often created over time (which are not used). While Microsoft 365 now supports the cleanup with the renewal function (see more at Team expiration and renewal in Microsoft Teams), it is sometimes helpful to identify and evaluate teams that are no longer used and to carry out deletion actions yourself. The Microsoft Graph now offers a (beta) method for searching and identifying such teams according to your own criteria. ...

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. ...
