In addition to my last script showing how to manage the user licenses in Office365 I’ve written a new script for assign, remove or replace the access rights in the office365 portal.
The script has the same structure as the license management script, feel free as always to copy and alter this script or asking me questions about it.
The are three ways to handle access rights in SharePoint.
I personally recommend to use the first suggestion. Managing the access rights in one system is much easier to administrate, no switching or log off for administration work.
In our SharePoint installation I create for each securable resource and rights type a ActiveDirectory group and assign them organization groups.
A huge disadvantage of this strategy is that after a period of adding ActiveDirectory groups it’s hard to know which of those groups are really required.
In the default document search results in the SharePoint search center it is only possible to open the documents. It is not possible to navigate to the documents location.
This is part two of my experience in handling the password change office365 architecture issue.
Last time I’ve built a simple script to notificate the users about the status of their passwords. In the mean time we (me and another employ of the “vbl Informatik”) built a simple website for the office365 users to change their password.
To manage my code snippets I’m using GitHubGist connected with Gistbox.
Sadly none of this services providing a backup nor a download function for the gist files. That’s why I came upwith the idea to download them with PowerShell script.
For first my script only can download public gists, because I don’t know how to implement an authentication, luckily each of my gists is public. I recommend you to do the same, it’s the idea of OpenSource.
So here’s the script:
Today I experienced an exotic behaviour, a client couldn’t access his Office365 page due he wasn’t able to login on the ADFS authentication prompt.
After googling and binging (just kidding, NERD) I found a simple solution.
While crawling the soundcloud newcomers and indie artists I felt in love with Sir Sly.
They seem a little bit shy about publicising personal informations but that doesn’t really matter.
Their music is simple and solid, nice to hear by day and night.
You can follow them on youtube, twitter, facebook and instagram.
To alter the Exchange owa policies you can access them Using the Office365 administration site and navigate to the Exchange section. In the default policy editor are only limited options available.
