In my post “How to Stay Informed of Changes“, I covered some of the different information sources I use to keep track of changes in Office 365. Something I’ve since added to that list is the version release history page for the Azure Active Directory PowerShell Module. The page has an RSS feed which you […]

Microsoft just launched their Cloud Platform roadmap site. For one it addresses the frequent frustration customers have around the visibility, and second it actually provides a way to be able to understand and plan for what’s coming next. The link to the site is here This roadmap gives comprehensive insights into features in various buckets: preview, […]

Yammer is rolling out an exciting new feature which will provide the ability to add external collaborators to new conversations, existing conversations, and private messages within the Office 365 network. This will be first released for beta testing (for verified and registered admins). The Office 365 community hosted an open discussion around this new feature led by Microsoft […]

Azure Active Directory Sync Services (AADSync) was made “generally available” in September 2014. While the old DirSync tool is still available (and actually still linked to in the portal), AADSync should be what you’re looking to deploy at this point.

Many of the limits within Exchange Online are values that your users are unlikely to exceed. Despite this, we occasionally see situations where a limit is exceeded in ways you might not expect.

The full article is available here. From the post: The St. Louis-based company, No. 66 on the CRN SP 500, […]

We’re one week into the new year, and I’ve yet to make a resolution. Given the success rate of most resolutions and my personal history with outlandish goals that last a couple of weeks at best, I’d rather not set myself up for failure. Even more than that, I like to identify things that are […]

You did it! You migrated your organization’s mail environment to Exchange Online. The post-migration dust is starting to settle, the project plan tasks are nearly all checked off and you’re done, you’re finally done. …or are you? Below are a five tasks that can get overlooked when configuring your Exchange Online environment. While some may […]

As we end 2014, I wanted to look back at some of the great Office 365 feature releases of 2014. Not all of these features are fully rolled out, some are still in preview, while others we will see in early 2015. Earlier this year, Microsoft finally gave us the Office 365 Roadmap where we can now […]

In another 12 hours or so, those of us on the east coast will be watching the ball drop (mainly on television, but perhaps a few of the Perficient folks local to NYC are planning to brave the cold and crowds). Either way, we’ll be celebrating with family and friends as we ring in the […]
