Today a friend asked me for Help: He tried to install the new Exchange Online PowerShell V2 module but the response was Unable to resolve package source https://www.powershellgallery.com/api/v2
Like many others, I supported a userVoice entry that asked for IPv6 Support in AzureAD Named locations.
After a very long time without any further feedback, the latest preview now has support for IPv6 in Named locations.
With all the working from home, I would like to access my Microsoft 365 tenant from my home office, without Multi-factor authentication (MFA). So I added my external IP to my Conditional access named locations and marked it as trusted. That worked just fine since the beginning of the SARS-CoV-2 (a/k/a Covid-19) crisis. But now my DSL modem starts to disconnect from time to time. To bad, at home I have a regular DSL contract (non Business), and you can’t get a fixed IP for those! So I have to update the conditional access named location object manually whenever my modem reconnects. That manual process sucked, so I decided to write a quick and dirty scripted approach that will to the Job for me!
On may 15, 2020 Facebook announced that they acquired Giphy and that Giphy is now a part of the Instagram Team. Some ask what this acquisition means for other services, because Giphy is integrated into some of the internet’s most popular apps and services. Like Microsoft Teams!
I immediately asked myself: What is Facebook going to do with Giphy data? The Data of 700 million users and billions of hits that comes from the apps and services?
A few days ago, Microsoft enabled the Attendance List feature in Microsoft Teams. This feature will allow the organizer to download the list of attendance in a CSV (Comma-separated values) file.
Sometimes you might want a Phone located in your lobby, or in meeting room. These phones are typical use cases for “Common Area Phone“!
There is a license SKU available in Microsoft 365: Common Area Phone (MCOCAP)
The price in Germany is about 6,70 Euro per month and device (80,40 Euro per year and device), so basically the same as the Microsoft 365 Phone System.
You get the following components as part of this SKU:
- Microsoft 365 Phone System (MCOEV)
- Microsoft Teams (TEAMS1)
- Skype for Business Online Plan 2 (MCOSTANDARD)
During the COVID-19 crisis, I onboarded several customers to Microsoft Office 365. Many of them started new because the want Microsoft Teams for Video Conferencing and collaboration. Some organisations does not want Exchange Online Mailboxes, at least not yet.
Microsoft offers the capability to enforce a naming convention to Microsoft Office 365 Groups (a/k/a Unified Groups). What I like about that: You can enforce the naming convention and also blacklist some words. This might become handy to prevent someone creating a group called “HR”.
A while ago someone on LinkedIn told me, that I should try the Poly (Plantronics) Calisto 7200! So I decided, to order one for doing some tests, mostly because I needed a replacement for my Poly (Polycom) Trio 8800. The Trio was attached to my Microsoft Teams Room (MTR) System as native audio device.
