O365 Groups Management Concerns
i can only give you some answers to point 3 and 5 :)
3) When deleting a Group, things still seem to hang around(SharePoint space
Yes i can confirm that (at least for our tenant). SPO Sites as well MS Teams hang around "forever" :(
5) There doesn't seem to be any cmdlets for the group creation for StaffHub , Team, or Yammer.
Do you mean that you seek for a cmdlet which creates a Yammer group and/or a MS Team ?
I'm not aware of any. If you wanna see which Office365Groups have been created via Yammer, then there is a property called YammerEmailAddress which would indicate that this group is mapped with a Yammer group
hope that helps a bit
Thank you StefanFried! Good to know what what your experience has been for Office 365 Group deletion.
Yes, I am looking for cmdlets that can create Yammer, Team, or StaffHub groups. The only cmdlets I can find related to those apps would be applying a license or the New-UnifiedGroup. Those don't really help. I also tested to see if an owner of an O365 Group could make an existing O365 Group a team, that would be a no. In order to create a Team(even from an existing O365 Group) you must have permissions to create O365 Groups.
for 1. and 2. I asked recently and was told it's another 2 or 3 months as it's turning out to take more work than they thought. I agree it's a big problem, by Groups used to be so ordered, and now chaos!
For 6. this was pre-announced at Ignite, but was dependent on the soft delete function. As that arrived earlier this week then I guess we are getting nearer. The mechanism announced was that after a timer a group admin would need to validate a group was still required, and then after another timer the group would be removed if not validated.
Steven Collier I think I saw your post. While that is great it is something they are working on, it doesn't seem to be coming soon enough. At minimum every application should have a working naming convention if the naming policy in Azure AD is not ready. How are you managing group creations? Especially with these new apps?
Thank you for the insight on these topics. I am thinking of worst case scenario if all 29,000 of our students decided to make the max amount of groups. That would be insane and completely unmanagable. Which is why retention and naming policies are on the top of my list. I can't see releasing groups until those are addressed.
