mail forwarding report
Is there any easy way in exchange online/MS365 to get a report of any auto forward rules setup by admins or the end users themselves, e.g. inbox rules? Is there an easy way to disable the ability of end users to setup such rules for information security purposes.3.6KViews0likes2CommentsAzure AD crash course
I’m trying to teach myself a really basic ‘crash course’ on the basics of a hybrid environment in terms of Azure and on-prem AD, specific to user accounts, access/permissions and the administration thereof. As an end-user, we use SharePoint Online and Exchange Online for email/document management services, but the majority of other line of business apps and legacy file storage is located on internal servers that are joined to a 'local' AD (perhaps not the correct phrase?). Based on the overall architecture of our IT services, there are some very basic questions I would benefit from some help with: Does such a setup have a technical name in the industry? e.g. hybrid AD? Does it mean the users will likely actually require x2 accounts, one for governing access to the online 365 apps, and one for governing access to the on-prem infrastructure? I’m guessing it can only be x1 account as we don’t have multiple passwords/account names, but that may be due to some form of synchronization between the two systems? What would you refer to the two types of accounts as, as an AD support engineer? When a user leaves a company, does the Admin have to disable x2 accounts, one for the 365 access such as Exchange/SharePoint, and the on-prem AD account, or if they are synched can they disable just the on-prem AD account, or just the account in Azure AD? Under what circumstances/for what types of users and access would an account only be created in Azure AD? As opposed to created in the on-prem AD system? Would all on-prem AD accounts be ‘synched’ to Azure AD, or only specific accounts? Where do you perform basics like password resets? Or can you do this in either Azure AD or on-prem AD and it synchronizes between both AD databases? Or would there be some accounts which need reset in Azure and others on-prem? If you create an account in Azure AD, is that then synched with local-AD ?1.1KViews0likes1Commentsecond tier admin roles and risks
I'm trying to get a basic risk context around some lesser known 365 roles: Security administrator Helpdesk administrator Billing administrator User administrator Authentication administrator Could you provide some examples of what 'damage' an individual could do with access to the above roles. Normally I would work off the basic risk concepts such as inappropriate access to sensitive information, loss of service(s) to genuine staff affecting business productivity etc.1.1KViews0likes1CommentSharePoint hierarchy
When migrating data from traditional windows file share to SharePoint online (I am fairly new to SharePoint), is it likely each team would have its own 'site', or some other level of hierarchy for storing their files? Still trying to map out the SharePoint online hierarchy, and compare to windows file server of \\server\share\directory - any beginners guide would be useful. For example assume at present there is \\server\share\team1 \\server\share\team2 \\server\share\team3 - would you likely create a 'site' for team1's data, team2's data, team3's data - assuming you want to maintain the same structure and permissions?Solved1.7KViews0likes1CommentRe: Granting access to messages under retention policies within Exchange Online
I should have added the MS articles aren't the most helpful in facilitating view access to these secure hidden locations that keep original versions of messages under retention policies. That is ultimately what we need to achieve. "These secure locations and the retained content are not visible to most people. In most cases, people do not even need to know that their content is subject to retention settings."1.4KViews0likes0Comments
