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.

“How do we operate as a multi-tenant environment while, from Microsoft’s perspective, on a single tenant? CoreView brought all of that to the table with the V-tenant capabilities. We can slice and dice administration into functional areas. We can have user managers, Teams managers, Teams administrators, or security administrators.

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)?

DevOps and Testing slides at DASA ConnectKari Kakkonen
My and Rik Marselis slides at 30.5.2024 DASA Connect conference. We discuss about what is testing, then what is agile testing and finally what is Testing in DevOps. Finally we had lovely workshop with the participants trying to find out different ways to think about quality and testing in different parts of the DevOps infinity loop.
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.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. 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.

Backup and Restore options are more flexibleGranular data recoveryRecover from unattached content DB (Don’t need to restore an entire content DB to get just one document or list item back)Uses the Content Deployment API (I think).
1.Upgrade is more flexible – let’s you upgrade one site at a time. 2. Doesn’t force upgrade of the MOSS 2007 user experience/look and feel/branding.3.Can preview before committing upgrade.
Doing away with the 2000 recommendations and leaving it up to the server admins to throttle as needed. Probably b/c of improved handling of queries, AJAX, and 64-bit server requirements. List throttling controls forces end users to create more efficient views with < x number of items. Better manage system resources.
1. Developer Dashboard shows information about backend interactions caused by your code. 2. Provides diagnostic performance insight.
All logs and usage reporting is now stored in a content database instead of on the file system. Gives developers the flexibility to extend and create prettier reports.
