Well, I admit, I stumbled across that: I created a virtual machine in my local network and wanted to use it in Microsoft Azure. Well, of course – although I’ve read it a thousand times – the source machine was a VHDX file… So the VHDX file needs to be converted to VHD format. Happily, I found the solution quickly : Converting Hyper-V .vhdx to .vhd file formats for use in Windows Azure ...

Today’s a quick tip: Get some more space on you local hard drive by deleting unused space of OneDrive For Business Synchronization. Navigate to your user directory and in the Microsoft Office version directory in Windows Explorer. The path is (for Office 2016 – otherwise use your installed Office version directory): C:\Users<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office\16.0 …check the size of the “OfficeFileCache.old” directory (which is 3GB in my case)… …and delete this directory. That’s it. ...

With Delegate365 version 4.5.2 there come some improvements. See the details here. Sorting in all Lists: We changed the sorting in all lists of D365. Before that, sorting only sorted all visible items on the current page in the list. If a user now clicks on a sortable column header, D365 now sorts all items in the list - regardless on which page the entry is. The following screenshot shows the behavior: In this user list there are two pages. If the Admin clicks on the column “Display Name”, all items are sorted. If the sort order is descending like here, we see the last item “Zack Kelly”, even if this user actually was on page two. So, now D365 sorts all items (server side) in any list and no longer just the items on the current page (client side). This behavior now delivers the results a user would expect of the sorting. All lists have been updated in D365 and now use this new sorting method. Besides: Also Search is searching all entries in lists! ...

Zur Zeit gibt es wieder vermehrt Spam-EMails, die angeblich von PayLife stammen und darüber informieren, dass “von einem nicht autorisierten Computer auf Ihr Konto zugegriffen wurde”. Bloss nicht öffnen – und löschen! Die Phishing EMail sieht so aus. Der Link “Paylife.at” führt zu einer falschen Adresse… (die Website-Adressen ändern sich ständig), und immer mit der eigenen EMail-Adresse dahinter… Löschen und bei solchen “Bank”-EMails sehr vorsichtig sein. Im Zweifelsfall löschen…

Analysis: Let’s have a look in the Office 365 / Exchange Admin Center regarding this feature: ...
