I’ve had this conversation at least once a week for the past several months. Customers ask, how can they use PowerShell scripts to assign/control O365 licensing workloads assigned to end users? Don’t use a script, use Azure group-based licensing. The problem with a script is, you must assign all workloads, then remove the ones you

This is just a philosophical discussion around the common answer of ‘it depends’, or ‘it’s a choice’. ‘Which way should the toilet paper roll go in your house?’ This is very analogous to all of the ongoing debates in history: Coke vs. Pepsi, VHS vs. Beta, BlueRay vs. HDDVD, Visual Studio Code vs. ISE, and

I’ve run into this a couple of times now with customers, consequently thought I’d finally get around to writing a blog post. The question is, can spam notifications be sent less than once a day? What are we talking about. In Exchange online, there is a notification message that is sent to users’ mailboxes periodically,

It’s getting harder and harder to stay up with all the changes in technology, but once in a while, a single landing place appears, which leads to the ever-updating Outlook product page: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Fixes-or-workarounds-for-recent-issues-in-Outlook-for-Windows-ecf61305-f84f-4e13-bb73-95a214ac1230 The is page is maintained by the Microsoft Outlook support engineers.

Some people may have run into an annoyance when typing out shorthand pipes to Select-Object or Where-Object. With the Windows 10 Fall 2018 update, people have noticed an odd issue with PowerShell.  It doesn’t happen with the cmd.exe though, while holding down the left-shift key and typing out a command, spaces are not written.

I recently ran into a customer that uses: Distribution Groups (DG), leverage Dynamic Distribution Groups (DDG), have started their move to Exchange Online (EXO), while nesting several DDG's inside of DG's. There are known work arounds that you should implement if you are in an Exchange hybrid configuration working with DDG's. Since each realm bifurcates the

Q: Is there a way to enable the rule option in Outlook? A: Yes. The ruler option in Word is also available in Outlook. Easy enough to turn on for specific client machines or for every Outlook client within your domain environment by applying a GPO.

A while ago, I created a description process on how to create signatures for Outlook, how to deploy them to many people at once, and for those users to be able to send from another mailbox.
