Shortly we launched Delegate365 version 3.3. With that release there came a new and very fast cloud service along which handles all Exchange operations. We upgraded this service yesterday into production. Delegate365 users, have you noticed the NEW SPEED? The new service now uses pooling for all incoming request of one tenant and is very fast since many operations can be executed asynchronously within the connection pool. The result is that all Exchange-tasks are much much faster (about factor 6 to 10) than before. ...

Today´s world offers a lot of ways to communicate. One one hand there are tools (or “Apps”) for nearly everything and on the other side users can get confused sometimes too choose the right way or the correct tool to reach the desired group(s).

As announced in our version 3.3 article we added another feature in the new module “assign licenses”. Now this list also shows all already assigned plans for each user. There´s a new column “AssignedPlans” showing the plans of the displayed users. So this list can be used for setting and also for reporting multiple user licenses of OU´s. For doing that we had to implement an additional caching layer which is now filled by the automatic sync process. ...

The current version of Delegate365 is version 3.3. In that version we have some new features available as well as some minor bugfixes. Let´s start with these: Bugfixes Sync licenses: It seems that there was a change in delivering the licenses information of users by Microsoft. If the Office 365 licenses of an user were changed, the license and the active plans stay unchanged. In D365 the synchronization could not update the license data correctly because it relied on that data. We found that now only the disabled plans information delivered by the interface is correct. The sync and getting and setting the licenses function has been updated to use the disabled plans data. So this version fixes all license information updates. Since the Sync functions automatically runs periodically (usually all 4 hours), there´s no need to do anything manually. Anyway, admins can click the Sync button anytime to ensure that all data in the D365 tenant are updated. ...

Martina and I just returned from the Microsoft Community Open Day event in Munich. The name can be misleading for people outside of Microsoft, because COD is actually a closed event for members of the Microsoft community leaders in the MVP Program and the CLIP Program within a region. Here community leaders and members can inform about news and do a lot of networking. In our case we both belong to the german speaking D-A-CH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland). COD usually takes place somewhere in the corresponding region, last year in Berlin, this year in Munich, at the Microsoft Office. [Additionally there´s the yearly Global MVP summit for ALL MVP´s at the Microsoft headquarters in Redmond…] ...
