Many users including myself love OneNote. It’s quick and allows to store valuable but unstructured data very well. I wanted to change the storage location of my OneNote notebook from my personal OneDrive to OneDrive For Business. See the How-To here! You get Microsoft OneNote for free at https://www.onenote.com/download. By default OneNote is persisting notebooks in the personal OneDrive cloud storage and syncs changes between the local client (if installed) and the cloud. That’s ok for most scenarios and very convenient. ...

During summer time the next Delegate365 version was born that brings more mailbox and distribution group features, more sync rule options and some minor changes in logging and some fixes. See the details here. Delegate365 version 6.6 brings some improvements on the basis of version 6.5. New sync rules: The menu administration / sync / “sync options” has been renamed to “sync rules” in Version 6.5. Now, the “user license assignments” have been extended with additional options as in the screenshot below. A sync rule can now be switched on or off with the “Active” switch to simplify testing (“On” is the default setting for existing rules). The new “order” allows to reorder the rules. “Action” now allows not only to add Office 365 licenses, but also to remove the selected licenses, which was a often requested feature. “Apply to” allows to execute the rule against “all users”, “sign-in allowed” or “sign-in blocked” users. The new options deliver a much more granular control of license settings. The active sync rules are considered at each sync operation in Delegate365. Don’t forget to save any changes at the page bottom “Save” button! Remember, the more rules are enabled, the longer the sync operation will run, in large Office 365 tenants this might take hours, since every object must be checked and the operations will be executed. ...

For an application registered in AAD to be able to run in application context only without a user context the “Company Administrator” role has to be assigned to the application in order to be able to access administrator endpoints for APIs like the Microsoft Graph. No additional permissions have to be assigned to the application after assigning this role. The assignment has to be done using PowerShell and looks like this: (the app registration has to be done beforehand) ...

Office 365 users often ask about user profiles in various Office 365 services and where to change what. Since the Office 365 products do have a history, there are different places where user profile data is stored and how specific properties are synchronized. So, we at atwork thought that it makes sense to inform about the current user profile status in Office 365 with this article. AAD Basics The basis of all Office 365 services is the central Azure Active Directory (AAD) that stores all users, groups, licenses and relations of an Office 365 tenant (*.onmicrosoft.com). Entities can be managed in the Office-Portal, with scripts (PowerShell, etc.) or custom code (accessing the Microsoft API’s), or in a hybrid scenario with AAD Connect or ADFS. Once a user is created in AAD, there are a bunch of user properties available, as the User Principal Name (UPN, which is the login name), the person’s name and address data, Office 365 licenses, and more. All Office 365 products require such a user identity for sign-in. Once logged in, users benefit from Single-Sign-On (SSO) experience with one single identity. ...
