Shared channels in Teams – How can you set it up?

11. august 2023 Tony Bardalen kommentarer 0 kommentarer

Since the dawn of Teams we have had individual Teams, and we have had channels. Some years ago, private channels arrived letting us create channels in Teams that could be seen only for those team members that had been given specific access to it. The drawback here was it could only be visible to existing member members and therefore somewhat limiting it’s use.

Windows LAPS just recently released to Public Preview. No no, not the old one (legacy Microsoft LAPS: https://www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?id=46899). The NEW LAPS.

Roaming Identities are broken in latest FSLogix

30. mars 2023 Tony Bardalen kommentarer 0 kommentarer

The way I noticed this was when I got engaged in setting up FSLogix on-prem in a Windows Server 2019 VDI-environment. Naturally we downloaded the latest and greatest FSLogix version and got it installed. GPOs were set and with the latest ADMX-files installed all seemed okay. We set up both profile disk and Office containers for the users. The trouble started the next day. The users had to log on to Office apps every time they logged on for the…

Adobe Acrobat and Edge are not fighting anymore!

9. mars 2023 Tony Bardalen kommentarer 0 kommentarer

I’m getting straight to the point here: By fighting I mean Microsoft are incorporating Acrobat Reader INTO their Edge webbrowser. Yep, you read that right. They are building Acrobat’s PDF-engine into Edge. Microsoft and Adobe have partnered up for replacing the existing PDF-engine in Edge. By default, PDFs in Windows opens in Edge. This hasn’t always been the best solutions as many workflows is dependent on Adobe Reader in one way or another. Either the technology or the humans. This…

Have you ever been in a situation where you need to delete files of a certain type, or file names containing some key words? Well, I have recently.

3. juni 2021 Tony Bardalen kommentarer 0 kommentarer

When managing a lot of customers with Azure Subscriptions, one possible solution of centralized management is via the Microsoft Partner Portal. Here you can manage all your CSP-customers from one place. This works really well with Microsoft 365 tenants where you just need to make sure you are registered as partner with admin rights.
