(Re)moving students from Groups via SDS
Hi, Today I've been testing the School Data Sync with manual SDS files. I'm wondering if there's an option to facilitate a scenario where students should be removed from a certain section, and added into a new section. This might for example happen when a students enrolls into a new year and have switched education path. I've tried to test this scenario by first adding students via SDS to a section, and then removing the users with another SDS import from that same section. The result is that the student is still member of the Group (section) in Office 365. Also, i'ts very unclear to my what the "Active" / "Inactive" paramaters in the CSV should be doing. There are present in the Students, Teachers and Sections CSV files. Many thanks in advance. Regards, Remy
School Data Sync (Plan 1) service plan what is it?
This morning a new tile showed up in the portal of all our users. I checked the enabled serviceplans for my users and I noticed "School Data Sync (Plan 1)" was enabled for my Office 365 education plus license. I disabled the serviceplan for all my users, because I don't know what is does. I like to test new feature before making it available for all our users. I have read about school data sync before, it's about syncing data from a SIS tot O365. But what is the tile going to do? I haven't seen any communication about releasing this specific service plan and also the MS service desk couldn't give more info then the one available online from january when SDS became GA. Does anyone kwno what the tile is going to do as soon it's finished setting up?
'Section display names are always synced' not working ?
Hi everyone. I've just wasted an hour of my life crosschecking data sources and SDS logs as one group has been reported AWOL. Eventually I found the missing group, and Azure Audit Logs show me it was renamed by a Group Owner to something nonsensical. Our Sync Profile has this setting - but it doesn't seem to work as advertised: Sync Option for section group display name: Section display names are always synced. Should that option work ? can you direct me at any Azure/CloudAppSecurity Audit logs which could point to a rename failure ? We are synchronising via Flow, if that makes a difference? Thanks in advance Martin Christopher
Remove teams and teams membership through SDS
Hi, I have just created a full roster for my school during which there are number of teams which we will not use. I tried to remove these teams in SIS files for SDS, it got synced but the changes didnt reflect, no teams nor any members were removed. may I am not doing it the correct way, however the same when done in Apple School manager and ids are removed if not found in SIS files.
