Azure Sentinel provides a great overview of security events in your organization. You can collect security events at a large scale. Now there are quite a few blogs about all the things you can do with it and I am by no means an expert. However, since we are all going back to the office, we had an interesting use case. ...

SharePoint Server 2019 and 2016 both support SQL Managed Instances. There are a few advantages of using Managed Instances in the cloud and one of them is that you can easier move database to the Cloud. In our scenario we had done a ‘proof of concept’ at a client over a year ago. ...

Within the same project as my last blog on Power Automate & OData Queries we had to copy some content. Besides sending notifications in some cases we had to copy a document set to a separate library. This copy action had to capture the status of the document set. This of course had to happen using the correct metadata and all files placed in the document set. ...

I guess all those MVP’s around the world are currently helping schools to quickly deploy and create teams. So, I did not want to feel left out and provided some help to schools out there with some sample PowerShell to manage teams. Now while PowerShell is not rocket science, I did encounter some weird behavior. ...

QnAMaker.ai is a great way to provide answers to end-users through a chat interface. And while it has been around for a while there are always new things to explore. We recently set it up internally to provide a FAQ around the whole COVID situation. To keep learning we challenged ourselves to keep our knowledge base as up to date as possible. ...

I have been using Azure Functions for quite a while now without any issues. Setting them up is easy, and once they are running all is good. And as you can even load PnP PowerShell into them it is fairly easy to run some automation logic in the cloud. Now there also Azure Runbooks but for the sake of client context lest assume you have an Azure Function for reasons. ...
