This major version brings some new features as “Sync with security group”, bulk assignments, list export, improved OU management, and many further features and fixes. See the details here. Upgrading from Delegate365 version 8.2 does not require running a new setup. Upgrading from any other Delegate365 version, requires to (Re)run the setup.

With Delegate365 v8.3 there comes a new feature in the Sync Rules: Sync with security group allows to automatically remove users from an OU. See how this works here. This is a feature request brought to us by Delegate365 customers: When a user is removed from a security group, he or she should also automatically be removed from the corresponding OU, if the User sync rules are set to “Security group”. So here´s a description of that feature with a sample (improved Delegate365 Admins can have a look at step1 and then continue with step 7)… ...
Since I use PowerApps only from time to time, I wanted to document some common actions, such as working with images and the camera control. So, here are my little notes in 6 tips. Well it´s Saturday evening, and I am listening to fancy music and playing with PowerApps (and Flow, Cognitive Services and Adaptive Cards). To not forget the following basics, I thought, it´s a good idea to document a quick intro for working with the Camera control and pictures in PowerApps. ...
When planning IT-services between locations and in the cloud, the network speed is an essential factor. See how Microsoft manages their network and how to see your location´s bandwidth to Microsoft Azure here. Azure currently offers data centers in 54 regions worldwide and in 140 countries. To get a little background about the effort being made for a performant worldwide network, check out this article at “How Microsoft builds its fast and reliable global network” with an overview of their dark fiber network and their software-defined networking (SDN) strategies. “Microsoft owns and runs one of the largest backbone networks in the world,connecting our datacenters and customers. Over the last three years, we’ve grown our long-haul WAN capacity by 700 percent.” ...
End of last year, Microsoft announced to integrate the Chromium open source project in the development of Microsoft Edge on the desktop to create better web compatibility. Well, here is Edge preview! That was quick. To try the new experience, download the preview from www.microsoftedgeinsider.com. Download, and install… the new “inspirational” look is pretty. I did start with “my data” which looks as here. Chromium also allows to integrate Chrome Plugins. ...
PowerApps provide a good solution for small apps. They run on a device and connect to an online data source. But what happens if no data connection is available, for instance in a building? Well, you can develop a PowerApp that works offline and synchronizes local data to the data source when you’re back online. See how this works here! A basic demo app To show the basic functionality, I developed the following, colorful demo PowerApp. The app consists of one screen in tablet mode including a connection toggle control, two input fields for a name and an email address, two data tables and some buttons. The goal is to read and write data in offline and online mode. ...
I just got a cute Flic button to play around with. It takes only some minutes to connect that IoT button to a connector and execute customs tasks. Well, as first step, I simply created a message in a Microsoft Teams channel. See the step-by-step instructions here. My colleague Christoph has started to play with the Flic button and another IoT button, so I was interested as well. Another article with that IoT button will follow shortly. ...
To apply governance in an organization, the responsible persons require data. See here, how we can get group data of an Office 365 tenant for further use, for example for a visualization with Microsoft Power BI and all the benefits of such an attractive and interactive tool. Get all groups and their properties Again, we use the same mechanism as before, for getting orphaned groups and external users. For example, a function runs every day in the night and reads all existing groups in the Office 365 tenant. Every group is written to a queue for further processing, in the same way as the other functions did before. A second function is triggered by that queue and reads all the required group data for one group and writes the data into an Azure table. The following graphics shows that process from a technical standpoint. ...
