Slice up your Microsoft 365 Tenant with Administrative UnitsJoel Oleson
Microsoft 365 Tenant Administration: Understanding Microsoft 365 Administrative Units
1. Understanding Delegating local Admin Activities With Administrative Units Organizations may be divided by region, business unit, or department but rely on a single tenant. How do they assign rights to a local service desk to only the users and groups they support?

Microsoft 365 Tenant Administration: Understanding Microsoft 365 Administrati...Joel Oleson
Microsoft 365 M365 Management Made Easy
Do you struggle with administering your Microsoft 365 tenant? Have you ever wished there was an easy way to segment your tenant so you could delegate permissions more granularly to group or site admins?
Microsoft has introduced Administrative Units and they are a great start to creating boundaries within your tenant for user and group administration but are they enough? What about the other Microsoft365 services not covered by Administrative Units?
Microsoft has also announced they’ll be introducing custom roles for Microsoft 365. While currently very limited, they do promise that you’ll be able to get more granular with the permissions you want to assign.
CoreView helps you to easily manage Microsoft 365 by combining multiple Microsoft Admin Centers into a single view so you no longer need to log into multiple admin centers to complete everyday tasks.
With Virtual Tenants (like OUs for Azure AD), you can also segment your tenant by geography, department, or any other AD attribute to limit the admin scope. Virtual Tenants can be applied to any Microsoft 365 object, so they’re not just limited to users and groups.
CoreView also has very granular permissions that allow you to adhere to the least privilege access policy recommended by Microsoft. CoreView permission sets can get as granular as a single attribute without giving the delegated administrator permission to do anything else.
You’ll also see how you can easily delegate the running of PowerShell scripts so once the script is created, anyone with proper CoreView permissions can execute it.
Register now to hear MVP Joel Oleson’s take on Admin Units, and how CoreView can help take them to the next level.

Microsoft Groups Demystified: 5 Keys to Successful Group Management Joel Oleson
How are you handling Microsoft groups as you adopt more and more of the cloud? What should you do with your DLs? For hybrid environments, legacy groups can be a real struggle, and most organizations leave security groups in place while creating new ones in the cloud. Double the groups can mean double the frustration.
Join us for this webinar, where we’ll explore the history of security groups and distribution lists and dive deep into how best to approach users and strategies for on-premises and cloud group coexistence and synchronization. We’ll also explore the new Teams Information Boundaries and Unified Labeling and classifications to paint a clearer picture of security and classification in Microsoft 365.
This session will take comprehensive look at Microsoft “Groups end to end” and work to cover some common groups questions:
What about lifecycle and cleanup?
Policy & Naming standards?
Is write-back an option?
How do I sync my groups?
What can I do for coexistence and hybrid?
I want to copy my on-prem groups can I do that?
Can I setup my groups as dynamic or rule-based in the cloud (and potential additional costs)?

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

8. Getting All Your Dependencies
EnumallWebs has some added enhancements. These are very applicable for gathering
what you need out of your farm.
stsadm.exe -o enumallwebs
[ -databasename <database name>]
[ -databaseserver <database server name>]
[ -includefeatures ]
[ -includesetupfiles ]
[ -includewebparts ]
[ -includeeventreceivers ]
[ -includecustomlistview ]
stsadm -o enumallwebs -includefeatures -includesetupfiles -includewebparts -
includeeventreceivers -includecustomlistview > enumallwebs.xml
10. Insight on Upgrade
Binary Upgrade
–In Place - New Timeout, Resume on failures
–Not recommended for most deployments
–Database Attach - New Parallel, Progress Indicator
Visual
Visual Upgrade Upgrade
–Separate process Binary
Upgrade
–Delegation by default
11. In-Place Upgrade
All-at-once upgrade
– Must upgrade the whole farm at one time
– No SP 2007 and SP2010 in same farm
– Schedule downtime
Simplest approach, but *most risky*!
– No going back
Resume Upgrade if problems occur
Recommendations
– Run Test-SPContentDatabase from SP 2010 farm against databases
– Do a full farm backup before you start!
12. Database Attach Upgrade
Safer, Requires more planning (A good thing)
Upgrade is done on a separate 2010 farm
– Done database-by-database
– Can be used with 2nd step visual upgrade
Use Test-SPContentDatabase (PowerShell cmdlet) to test
database first
To attach
– Mount-SPContentDatabase (PowerShell)
– STSADM –o Addcontentdb operation
Parallel database upgrades are possible
14. Visual Upgrade
Stay in 2007 (default) or force move to 2010 UI
–2010 ships 2007 Master pages and CSS
–UI Preview capability
Farm admin or site admin controlled
–Web level setting
Some items not 2007 UI compatible
–My site host
–PWA site collection
–Report Server web parts
20. Real World Visual Upgrade Issues…
• Parent/Child Freakiness
• How long should you keep them around?
• What happens if they stay in preview mode or
stay in 2007 UI?
• Usage Stops working
• Can I roll back?
• Schema issues
21. Common Upgrade Failure Issues & Recovery
1. Determine cause of failure
– Status Page & Upgrade Logs:
– Error log
– Full upgrade log
– Customizations Management Commands:
– Test-SPContentDatabase
– stsadm -o EnumAllWebs
2. Fix issue(s)
– Install missing or updated customizations
– Activate missing services; farm, web app settings
3. Resume upgrade
– Farm upgrade command
– Content database specific upgrade command
– Service specific upgrade commands
22. Upgrading SharePoint Service Apps
Each SSP upgrades into:
–A Search service app
–A User Profiles service app
–An Excel service app
–An App Registry back-compat service app
New Services can be activated/added

26. Fab 40 lessons learned
Some features don’t deactivate despite the –force command.
If you experience this problem (they will still show up during the upgrade
and the DB will fail), I've found this tool to be helpful:
http://featureadmin.codeplex.com/
Installing the 2007 Appcore and Applicable 2007 Fab 40 templates on the
2010 box removes the errors.
Khalil’s 2010 fab 40 will not remove the errors, they are to support the
functionality
3rd party migration software to clean these things up. Doing that also
gives you the flexibility to split up site collections, combine site
collections, populate metadata
We decided we didn’t want to support Fab 40 going forward, but we
needed the code, so we decided to hide the Features
