Office 365 and PowerShell

I've seen a number of questions from Office 365 users about issues with performing administrative tasks such as managing domains, users, groups, and subscriptions via the normal web user interface. If you should ever have an issue with Office 365 be sure to consider using the PowerShell cmdlets provided by MSFT to resolve your issues.

Click one of the following links to find the cmdlets for a particular Office 365 management task, or to learn more about Microsoft Exchange Online cmdlets.

• Manage group and role membership 
• Manage domains 
• Manage single sign-on 
• Manage subscriptions and licenses 
• Manage company information and service

Every Lync in a chain of updates

Subscribers of Microsoft's office 365 services can review upcoming planned maintenance through the support tab of the administration console. Although they do not communicate the specific updates being rolled out they do provide you with a job id ex "LY1299. The details allow you to assess the impact if any that you may experience. This is something we don't always get from our on premise IT service.

Looking at the maintenance for January you will see Microsoft's focus on enhancing the Lync user experience and functionality.

Be sure to visit the Office 365 Technical Blog for details that are associated with these recent updates.

PowerPoint for Documentation

Filed under

Something you might want to consider is using Microsoft PowerPoint for your documentation. The advantage here is the ability to easily share the documentation in a meeting, presented in an community event such as Office365 Saturday, or shared it will sites such as slideshare. So when you do not have to deliver a formal requirements or design document consider PowerPoint.
