Seeking recommended steps to delete "All Company"
I have a scenario where an existing dated "All Company" community exists in Viva Engage from Yammer days and dating back to 4 or so years ago. The contents of this community (including posts, members, etc) are no longer relevant to the organisation as it has evolved a lot since then. The organisation now wants to adopt Viva Engage as an ESN but with a "fresh start". So they are keen to delete all existing communities, including the All Company one. I would like to understand if there is a best practice way to deleting an "All Company" community in Viva Engage? This help article (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/viva/engage/manage-viva-engage-groups/all-company-community) seems to indicate that the "All Company" community can be treated like any other regular community: "You can delete All Company in Microsoft Entra ID, which takes it through a soft-delete and then a hard-delete process." However, people in this discussion thread - as recent as Oct 2024, have reported having difficulties: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/discussions/viva_engage_administration/delete-default-all-company/4186461 The thread indicates that if someone deletes the All Company - the community continues to show as existing for users - leading to an experience where people click on the community only to find it is deleted. I am wondering if there is a recommended way to delete and re-creating the All Company community? For example should we delete the relevant M365 group from Entra? If yes - when we recreate the community - do we do it from Engage and then go to Entra to set some additional properties to indicate it is the new "All Company"?SolvedParulDec 04, 2024Copper Contributor1.4KViews4likes1CommentManage Yammer users across their life cycle from Office 365
After Yammer is activated on your Office 365 tenant, you, as the Office 365 administrator, can control the life cycle for Yammer users from Office 365. When you create users in Office 365, they can log on to Yammer with their Office 365 credentials. When a user is deleted from Office 365, they are automatically deactivated or suspended in Yammer. When a user is restored in Office 365, they are reactivated in Yammer. Also, the user's profile properties (such as name and department) from Azure Active Directory will be automatically populated in the user's Yammer profile, and any changes to the profile properties in Azure Active Directory will be reflected in Yammer as well.

Hi folks, Can we please have the ability to lock a pinned site in the right sidebar of a Viva Engage community, to prevent accidental deletions? Ideally, the lock could be placed or removed by one of the community admins. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/use-and-manage-yammer-community-resources-c6b78f0a-4792-4636-868a-6fb9039537b3#:~:text=On%20the%20right%20side%20of,section%2C%20click%20the%20Plus%20sign.

As per the title, I'm wondering if M365 will push out an email or any kind of notification is someone uses Storyline - assuming: no topics were used no one is FOLLOWING the individual no one is mentioned Would the 'Discover what's happening across your organization' auto-digest include storyline posts that no one has seen or engaged with?atrain204Dec 12, 2023Iron Contributor848Views3likes6CommentsHow to avoid nightly emails from Viva Engage?
I got a question from a group of Swedish users with a community in Viva Engage. When they update with new posts, an email is sent out to the members. They have noticed that these emails are often sent out in the middle of the night, one or more days after the post is written. Is there any setting for the community owner, to set when these daily emails are sent out, to avoid burdening members with these nightly emails? (there are several reasons for why we do not want jobrelated emails to be sent in the middle of the night, and for notifications automatically sent out, users are not always on top of adjusting their notifications , so therefore this question) Our organization exist in several time zones, so this would be good to set for each community depending on time zone. I can not find any info on how to adjust the time/time zone when these emails are sent out. So what is currently causing them being sent out in the middle of the night for our European users? As a first response to this we encourage users to look into their Viva Engage Notification settings, but we have no good answer to why the emails have to go out in the middle of the night. Is this a new requirement or being looked into? Anyone else with similar experience?JorunAkerbergLMSep 21, 2023Brass Contributor787Views3likes1CommentHappy M365 Conference Week!

The administrator functions built into Yammer work well, but what if you want to perform an administrator function outside of what's built for you? If you ask around, you may find someone advising you to take advantage of the REST API, but if you don't know where to start, then you've come to the right place. Because you can't fully use the REST API and you can't run any of the scripts posted in this community if you don't have a token. This token is like your username and password, and is what allows you to tell Yammer that the script you're running is you. Getting one of these things used to be relatively complicated, but is much simpler now. Step 1: Log into Yammer normally, then click this - https://www.yammer.com/client_applications Step 2: Click the big green box, Register a New App Step 3: Fill in the form. The name can be whatever you want, and the organization and email should match what is approprate for your organization. I always use Yammer as the redirect URI. Step 4: Now you're on the information screen and can go get your token. On the bottom of the screen is a link called "Generate a developer token for this application". Click that. Like magic, your very own scripting token will now appear. Copy and paste that into something safe and secure. Remember, this is your username and password all rolled up into one, and if someone gets that, they can perform the same functions on your network as you can. Guard it carefully. And then use it for the scripts you'll find elsewhere in this community. Enjoy!Tom KretzmerAug 16, 2017Bronze Contributor8.7KViews2likes4Comments
