Deploying Yammer to 10,000's of colleagues that don't have corporate email
Karl_Brooks I didn't have a chance yesterday but just did a search and found an entry on answers.microsoft.com https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/msoffice_yammer-mso_o365brs/how-do-i-add-members-to-yammer-without-a-work-e/5526ed25-68c1-4079-903a-1c2749ee7721, which contains a link to https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Managing-your-Yammer-users-Yammer-admin-guide-0fc72b66-cbf1-4202-bcf0-f2174ea96798?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US
Let me know if this is of any help.
jhobdell thanks, but moving away from using personal email addresses is a goal.
The way I saw it working at a Workplace by Facebook demo was we'd create profiles for prospective employees (which could be automated from the HR system), they then access a published link, enter details we already know about them (e.g. name, location, NI number, etc.), then they'd enter a phone number to receive an activation code, and if they don't already have the mobile app a link to it. That way there is no activity at all on our part for them to gain access ( no lists to create and maintain).
Just seems to me that something like that for a Yammer only solution could be a cost saver over an F1 licence, which then provides tools that aren't required (like email ... it's 2020 !!)
