OneDrive – Files on Demand
Window 1709 (Fall Creators) has a great new feature called Files on Demand. It is a OneDrive feature that we actually talked to Microsoft about at Ignite in 2015. Basically it makes OneDrive more like other file syncing tools, where the file names and directory structure is always shown but the file content may or […]
Sysmon Configuration with DSC
As part of a project I’m working on I was asked to install and configure Sysmon on all servers using DSC (Azure Automation DSC in this case) After a bit of effort I came up with the following Configuration xSysmon { param ( [string] $SourcePath = “”, [string] $LocalPath = “”, [string] $ConfigFileName = […]
Azure Automation DSC Composite Configurations
While working on DSC for a client I came across the need to use Composite Configurations, however it needed to work with Azure Automation. Microsoft did use to say that Azure Automation DSC does not support partial or composite configurations, however composite ones can actually be wrapped up as a module and imported. After that […]
Allowing # and & in OneDrive for Business
At Microsoft Ignite 2017 they mentioned that OneDrive does now allow # (hash) and & (ampersand) but it needs to be configured on the tenant.

Get all possible AD Attributes for User or Group
I recently had to work out what the full set of attributes was that could be set against a user or a group in Active Directory. My first thought was ok why not just grab a user in PowerShell and ask to see all properties Get-ADUser -ResultSizeLimit 1 -Filter * -Properties * However that only […]
Office 365 new Inactive Mailbox Licenses
Important: Microsoft has decided not to go ahead with the plan. One of the advantages of gathering at Ignite is the chance to have some in-depth conversations about topics. Microsoft was gracious enough to understand that they need to do some more work to understand how tenants use inactive mailboxes before they should introduce new […]
Windows Server 2016: Access Denied for Admin Shares
We recently had an issue that started of with a problem promoting some domain controllers in Azure. We’d set up the site to site VPN and wanted to stretch the Forest into Azure. It seemed like a simple plan… Problems arose when we promoted the domain controller with errors such as System log: Can’t process […]

As at today we have an interesting problem and an open ticket with Microsoft Office 365 that is being escalated to Product Support. The scenario is pretty straightforward. Sharing a Mailbox via Full Access (no automapping) + Send on Behalf of Rights and attaching it in Outlook as a “New Account” (NOT as an additional Mailbox) […]
