Admins: If yes, admins can define if they want to receive a notification via email and/or SMS: When editing the admin you can define each channel: email and/or SMS. The format of the phone number must be like this sample: ...

Haben sie sich schon einmal gefragt was passiert, wenn man einen User in der Cloud mit Dirsync “zer-synct”? Also ganz zu Anfang mal, was heißt “zer-synct”? Ich glaub jeder IT-Admin kennt das. Jeder Benutzer hat seine Mailbox, meist mit rund 5 Geräten (Handy, Tablet, Notebook, StandPC,…) die damit syncen und da kanns schon mal vorkommen dass man durch einen kleinen Fehlgriff oder durch den absolut unwahrscheinlich Fall eines Bugs beim Sync doppelt, dreifach oder einfach leere Mailboxen produziert. ...

Sometimes it´s good to check if the desired version of the Microsoft .NET Framework is installed on the target machine where you want to run your code, ah, app. Fortunately, this is easy to figure out. See MSDN article How to: Determine Which .NET Framework Versions Are Installed for .NET versions and How to determine which versions and service pack levels of the Microsoft .NET Framework are installed.

Delegate365 changelog version 2.3. This version is a major release. We made some changes in the time consuming tasks and optimized them. Performance Improvements in all user lists: If an AAD or Office 365 tenant has many thousand users loading the list of all users was time consuming. The reason is that the Microsoft GraphAPI delivers objects in slices (we take about 200 users per call to ensure there are no timeout errors) but has no filter functions we need for separating our domains and OU´s in D365. The result have been some wait time in some cases if many thousand users are existing. So we decided to improve that mechanism and add a cache layer between the AAD and our D365 client. With version 2.3 there´s an extra service added which synchronizes all new, updated and deleted user objects in our own cache. This service runs in the background and takes care of all changes in AAD. The D365 client now uses that cache and has a completely new logic with async calls and organizies the requested data page per page. So – depending on the individual page size – the client at runtime requests only the data page which is rendered. The benefit is that all user list operations like searching and paging are happening instantly in less than one second, regardless of the number of users to be shown. This performance improvement delivers a great user experience even with ten thousands of users in the user list! ...

Delegate365 changelog version 2.2. This was an internal version only for testing some new features… We rolled out that version on some of our demo clients and did some heavy testing of the performance with many thousand users and tested SMS notifications. We built in some new features which will be integrated in the next official release 2.3.

April/May 2014 Added User Self Password Reset (SPR): Now users (not only admins) can login into D365. If the admin had deposited a notification for the specific user (email or SMS), the user can perform a self password reset. When resetting the password the user can decide if he wants to receive the necessary security-code via email or SMS (depending on the settings made by the admins). Then he receives the code and gets a temporary password on the website. With that he can login and now has to change the password to his own, individual password. This function simplifies the administrative effort when users can use this reset on their own. This feature is integrated in D365. *So IT departements have no need to buy Azure premium licenses just for their users to perform self service password reset when using D365! * SMS is a preview function. If used, additional costs for the SMS provider will be added – depending on the location (country) and the amount of SMS messages which is usually about 10 Cent per SMS. ...

Eine tolle Alternative zu Public Foldern sind sogenannte Shared Mailboxen in Office 365. Diese haben bis zu 10 GB Speicher, kosten jedoch keine Lizenz. Durch Berechtigungen können diese automatisch in Outlook eingebunden werden, können E-Mail Nachrichten empfangen und haben auch sonst viele Funktionalitäten eines Mailaccounts. Wenn Sie nun eine bereits vergebene Mailbox in eine shared Mailbox umwandeln wollen, geht das sehr einfach über PowerShell. Zunächst verbinden Sie sich zum Service: $UserCredential = Get-Credential $Session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri https://outlook.office365.com/powershell-liveid/ -Credential $UserCredential -Authentication Basic –AllowRedirection Import-PSSession $Session Get-MailboxStatistics <Alias> | FL Total* [](img_102.png "image") Set-Mailbox –Identity [Alias] -Type "Shared" -ProhibitSendReceiveQuota 10GB -ProhibitSendQuota 9.75GB -IssueWarningQuota 9.5GB Sobald das gesetzt ist, erscheint nach kurzer Zeit im Portal die Mailbox unter den geteilten Ressourcen. Danach können Sie die Lizenz von dieser Mailbox entfernen.
