Using PowerShell to get tasks done in the Microsoft 365 environment isn’t always a piece of cake. Accessing the data you want is challenging, mass updates are risky, and testing your scripts wastes too much time. 

In this session, you will see a real-life example of how we ran a paid online conference in Microsoft 365 where we needed to create multiple batches of users with custom properties, group membership, and a manager. After creating each account, we sent the attendees a customized email with their Usernames and Password. During the conference, we also had to make live, in-event mass changes to enable and disable groups of users based on their registration type. All this was done without writing one line of PowerShell, and it was as easy as working on an Excel Worksheet. 

Attend this session to see how we did it and discover tools to solve your tough, impossible Microsoft 365 challenges. 

Real Life Microsoft 365 management hacks:  Automation and "live" mass changes without PowerShell!

When you start using SharePoint everyone says, "Don't use folders." If that is true, how do we organize and find the stuff we put into SharePoint? Metadata. 

In this session, we will explore what metadata is, how to use it, and how to get our co-workers to use it. Recreate this demo when you get back to the office to win your users over to the metadata side. 

This demo works in SharePoint Online and On-Premises. 

Key Take Aways: 
  • What is metadata?
  • When to use metadata 
  • Choices for metadata 
  • When to use folders

Join in the discussion on Allyship.  What it is, why it's important, and how we can all do better.  This is intended to be a conversation rather than a presentation. 

Being an Ally-A Comprehensive Discussion

Is the confusion of TMO (Too Many Options) in M365 getting to you?
SharePoint, Teams, OneDrive, Yammer, Outlook... When do we use what for communication? Collaboration?
In this session Joy will break down our Microsoft 365 options and bring clarity on how the M365 tools work better together for collaboration. We'll address leveraging our "Swiss Army Knife" of applications to be better equipped when communicating with the various audiences we interact with day in and day out. 

TMO (Too Many Options) In M365?

Power Platform Governance is a critical component of utilizing the Power Platform. This session will cover the essential Center of Excellence Starter Kit (CoE), environment architecture, data loss prevention (DLP), admin connectors and developer community nurturing. A demo will be given of the CoE and the invaluable Dataverse database it creates.

Power Platform Governance

Security is a primary concern for all organisations as they continue their march to the cloud.

With investment in and use of the cloud growing faster than ever, wondering if they can keep their users, workloads, and data safe is giving business and technology stakeholders sleepless nights like never before.

Is it truly secure? Can I trust the cloud? What workloads should I hold back? What should I actually worry about? These are all questions I regularly hear when working with customers in the Defence world, all of which are relevant to cloud customers in any organisation or market.

This session brings my "Magic Eight Bullets" of advice given to Defence and other security-conscious organisations as they have moved to the cloud - tweaked and shaped for a jargon-free, non-military audience.

If you want to understand how ultra-security-conscious organisations (those with all the secrets!) can securely, safely, and remotely consume and benefit from cloud services, this session is for you.
