Office 365 News – OneDrive for Business now supports 10GB files and much more


 Office365logo       SP2013logo

Short story: The OneDrive for Business improvements are here!

This was promised to us a long time ago, and it has now finally come to be. At the same time, the 20.000 file limit from before has also been removed (Improved)
Here is the proof:

Proof

The file was in addition, uploaded using the new OneDrive sync client!
(Dropped the file in the local cache and let the sync do its stuff)

  • The OneDrive for Business Next Generation Sync Client is available for Windows 7, 8 and 10 (8.1 support will be added in the first quarter of 2016) and Mac OS X 10.9 and above.
  • Storage, rolling out is an increase from 1TB to 5TB, upon request, more will be made available until unlimited is achieved? (Valid for: Enterprise E3, E4 and E5, Government E3, E4 and E5, Education, OneDrive for Business Plan 2 and SharePoint Online Plan 2)
  • 10GB filesize limit
  • No more 20.000 file limit
  • !! With this first release of several, the Next Generation Sync Client supports OneDrive for Business only, but we will add support for SharePoint document libraries in future releases. (This is the best news in a long time)
  • In the interim, if customers require sync for both OneDrive for Business and SharePoint document libraries, the Next Generation Sync Client is designed to work side-by-side with the existing sync client.
  • the OneDrive for iOS app will support offline storage. You can selectively flag files for local availability and open them when disconnected
  • For developers: https://dev.onedrive.com/ (OneDrive developer portal)

SharePoint Online – Missing Web Parts with custom script disabled


 Office365logo       SP2013logo

Missing Web Parts with custom script disabled…

AdminThe Custom Script setting (Default disabled)

As I have posted about before, during the end of 2014, beginning of 2015, a new security feature in SharePoint Online has been rolled out. The feature in itself is a great security feature if that is what you want.

Missing example:

WebpartsMissing

Expected webparts:

WebpartsThere

Note: changes to this setting might take up to 24 hours to take effect.

In my previous post on this setting, I listed the missing features, however this is not all that will go missing. In addition, quite a few webparts will be gone from your SharePoint Online environment. This may or may not be expected by you and your users/editors/developers…
Below is the list of webparts that you will not find with the Custom script setting off/disabled.

Office 365 feature comparison chart all plans

Office 365 feature comparison chart all plans
(All in one Place)

 

threegoodthings365reversedx

This is an updated version of a popular blogpost that I posted in January 2013. It turned out to be one of the most visited posts and it still is (This one). This time I have updated the feature comparison list to show what is included in the different Office 365 plans and subscription levels that are available. It is not easy to find the information when you are looking to buy just the right plan for your organization.
My primary goal with this post is to again make it just a little bit easier to find what feature is included in what plan, what functionality is avaiable in which plan and most importantly, where is SharePoint Online included? 😉

Note:
1   Project Online is not included, but can be purchased as a separate add-on service.
2   Yammer Enterprise is not a component of Office 365 Government, but may be acquired at no cost as a standalone offer for each user licensed for Office 365 Government Plan E1, E3 and E4. This offer is currently limited to customers which purchase Office 365 Government under Enterprise Agreement and Enterprise Subscription Agreements.
3   Azure RMS is not included, but can be purchased as a separate add-on service.
4    To learn more about which RMS features are included with Office 365 plans, see Comparison of Rights Management Services (RMS) Offerings
5    Office Delve will become available for the Office 365 Business Essentials and Office 365 Business Premium plans in early 2015.
6    Office 365 Video is not available with the following plans: Office 365 Government E1, Office 365 Government E3, Office 365 Government E4

Changing or mixing plans
As the needs of your organization change, you may need to change your Office 365 plan. You can switch from your current Office 365 subscription to another Office 365 subscription:
– In the same service family: For example, you can move from Office 365 Business Essentials to Office 365 Business Premium, or from Office 365 Enterprise E1 to Office 365 Enterprise E3.
– From a standalone plan: For example, you can move from Exchange Online Plan 1 to Office 365 Enterprise E1.
– To a different service family: For example, you can move from Office 365 Business Essentials to Office 365 Enterprise E3.
For information about how to change subscriptions, including how to move from a trial to a paid subscription, see Switch to a different Office 365 plan or subscription.

You can combine Enterprise, Business and standalone plans (e.g. Exchange Online Plan 1) within a single Office 365 account. However, existing limitations on the number of seats per plan do not change. For example, you can have up to 300 seats per plan on both Office 365 Business Essentials and Office 365 Business Premium, but an unlimited number of users on Exchange Online Plan 1. Education and Government plans cannot be combined with Enterprise, Business or standalone plans.

Note:

1   To use folder sync, you must have Office 2013 (Standard or Professional edition) or an Office 365 subscription that includes Office applications. Office 365 Business Essentials, Office 365 Enterprise E1, Office 365 Education E1, and Office 365 Government E1 plans don’t include subscriptions to Office 2013. However, you can use folder sync if you have Office 2013 installed and subscribe to one of these plans.
2   Kiosk accounts have limited OneDrive for Business functionality. Kiosk customers can use the OneDrive for Business folder sync client application to sync team site document libraries with a shared computer and access documents offline. But kiosk accounts do not include a OneDrive for Business Personal Site, so they do not benefit from a OneDrive for Business personal library with 1 TB of online storage.
3    Azure Rights Management (RMS) is not included, but can be purchased as a separate add-in order to enable supported IRM features.
4   Because Kiosk users can’t be administrators, tenants with Kiosk users need at least one Enterprise user to access the admin center.
5   When you use eDiscovery features, the licensing requirement for a plan that permits that feature applies to all end users that are part of the eDiscovery action (Search, Hold, Export).
6   Authenticated SharePoint Online users can access private site collections with faceted navigation.

Office 365 News – Sway preview now available in your First Release tenant


Logo  Office365logo

Try out Sway in your First Release tenant now

Preview

Ok, if you want to try out Sway within your organization, here it is. It popped up on the App Launcher just the other day.

AppLauncher

(You can use this URL: https://sway.com/?o365=true and then sign in with your organizational account)

It is a preview, not fully operational yet but as many of you have seen, it works remarkably well!
Microsoft uses Sway in a lot of their presentations and they look great 🙂
I can give you a great example, at Ignite, Mark Kashman held a session the last day where he recapped all SharePoint content during the Conference in a Sway: http://aka.ms/sharepointUNPLUGGED

Try it out, remember that there are a few limitations though.
– I have found the ‘Import from PowerPoint’ to be really bad, it imports all objects one by one as a ‘slide’. Try it out and see for yourselves.
– Also, every time you press ‘Get started’ a new Sway is created, even you you do nothing more it will show up in the list.

In Sway preview you can set the permissions to be:
– Public
– People with the link
– My organization (Everyone)
– Just me
For now, this is fine, but eventually we will want to be able to add Groups of users or a select few.

You can add content easily be searching for it and just drag and drop it to the Sway Surface.

Sources

If you don’t like the design and don’t feel like spending time on making it just right, use the ‘Remix’ button.

Remix
Remix will apply a new design to the entire Sway, Headers, Colors, Formatting and all.

PS dtd error 1

The error is:
Connect-SPOService : For security reasons DTD is prohibited in this document. To enable DTD processing set DtdProcessing property on XmlReaderSettings to Parse and pass the settings into XmlReader.Create method.

Well, its almost a joke right…
When searching the web for information on this particular, I struck zero…all I could find related to the ISP and the default search provider something. I quickly dismissed them as unrelated.
Then after some time had passed, I found a similar issue, this seemed related and it was a connectivity issue same as mine (If I still had the link I would give credit to where credit is due). This fellow had resolved the issue by adding a missing DNS record.
This made me think, since our tenant has existed since way Before Office 365 existed (BPOS) perheps we were also missing some of the required DNS records?
I checked with my collegues, and apparently we were missing the record as well.

So, if you ever see or get the ‘DTD prohibited’ issue, remember to check the DNS for the following record:

Type: CNAME
Alias: MSOID
Target: clientconfig.microsoftonline-p.net
Info: Used by Office 365 to direct authentication to the correct identity platform More Information

After I added this to DNS, Connect-SPOService works just fine!

SPO-Connect

 

Microsoft’s official explaination on the DNS record:
What’s the purpose of the additional Office 365 CNAME record?

When you run a client application that works with Office 365 such as Lync, Outlook, Windows PowerShell or Microsoft Azure Active Directory Sync tool, your credentials must be authenticated. Office 365 uses a CNAME record to point to the correct authentication endpoint for your location, which ensures rapid authentication response times.If this CNAME record is missing for your domain, these applications will use a default authentication endpoint in the United States, which means authentication might be slower. If this CNAME record isn’t configured properly, for example, if you have a typo in the Points to address, these applications won’t be able to authenticate.

If Office 365 manages your domain’s DNS records,, Office 365 sets up this CNAME record for you.

If you are managing DNS records for your domain at your DNS host, to create this record, you create this record yourself by following the instructions for your DNS host.

Office 365 News – Move and Copy files and folders in OneDrive for Business


 Office365logo       SP2013logo       SharedLove

Now, finally, we can move and copy files within our OneDrive for Business web GUI

Dokument

Some random document…

Some time, early 2015, Microsoft introduced the ability to move/copy files in OneDrive for Business. This has been one of the major obstacles for using OneDrive for Business as a E1 user without the Office applications installed locally. Or rather, as a Online only user no matter what license. As a long time SHarePoint user and technician, this is a long awaited feature in SHarePoint as well, so now I’m keeping my fingers crossed for this ‘simple’ little feature to appear there as well. (I do not for one second think that this has been easy to implement at all) In addition, the function is quick!

Want to see how it looks and works?

The following table lists the tested and verified behaviour of the Copy/Move functionality in OneDrive for Business:

Action Behavior Notes
Move File(s) Moves the selected file(s) to the designated target container Retains metadata Retains sharing Does not overwrite if filename exists, reports back error
Move Folder(s) Moves the selected folder(s) to the designated target container Recreates a new copy of the folder Retains sharing Does not overwrite if filename exists, reports back error
Copy File(s) Copies the selected file(s) to the designated target container Recreates a new copy of the file(s) with new metadata Does not retain sharing Does not overwrite if filename exists, reports back error
Copy Folder(s) Copies the selected folder(s) to the designated target container Recreates a new copy of the folder with new metadata Does not retain sharing Does not overwrite if filename exists, reports back error
Copy or Move in SharePoint N/A – ‘Send to’ a predetermined location is the closest we get in SharePoint Server or SharePoint Online N/A

How it looks in reality:

Move or Copy a single file

SingleFileMove1

Move or Copy multiple files/folders

MultipleFilesMove1

Select the target, check the ‘Copy’ box if you want to Copy and not Move

MultiMoveDialog

After copying/Moving, you will get a Little reciept in the top right corner

Shared15

Ok

or

SharedCopy

If one or many of the files allready exist at the target, they are not overwritten, not even with a new name or new version. You will instead get a note on this and the result

Error

Now, we all hope for the same in SharePoint! Until it comes, we all to this ‘simple’ feature say: FINALLY!

Office 365 guide series – Function to resolve a users OneDrive for Business URL


 Office365logo       SP2013logo

Hi SharePoint Online PowerShellers!

This time I will give you a Quick but great function to use if you are working with OneDrive for Business:

Function to resolve a users OneDrive for Business URL

Aggklockax

Simple solution, great to have, unbelievably efficient…

Ok, this is perhaps my shortest post ever…I’ll just explain real Quick.
OneDrive for Business gets it URL from the tenantname and the users UserPrincipalName. Creating this every time can be troublesome…
This is what I use, a function I created last summer when I was tired of doing them one at the time…

It works even with users that have a different domain in the UPN than what is the tenant name.
This is it:

Function GetODfBURL($UserPrincipalName, $TenantName)
# Creates a correct ODfB URL from email and TenantName/OrgName, returns URL as a String
{
    # ConStructing OneDrive personal URL from the UPN/Email address
    $StrUser = $UserPrincipalName
    $pos= $StrUser.IndexOf("@")
    $len = $StrUser.Length -1
    $StrUser = $StrUser.SubString(0, $pos)
    $StrUser = $StrUser -replace "\.", "_"
    $Orgpos = $pos + 1
    $Orglen = $len - $pos
    $StrOrg = $UserPrincipalName.SubString($Orgpos, $Orglen)
    $StrOrgNamePos = $StrOrg.IndexOf(".")
    $StrOrgName = $StrOrg.SubString(0, $StrOrgNamePos)
    $StrOrgSuffixPos = $StrOrgNamePos +1
    $StrOrgNameLen = $StrOrg.Length - $StrOrgSuffixPos
    $StrOrgSuffix = $StrOrg.SubString($StrOrgSuffixPos, $StrOrgNameLen)
    $StrOrg = $StrOrg -replace "\.", "_"
    $PersonalOrgURL = "https://" + $TenantName + "-my.sharepoint.com/personal/"
    $SiteUrl= $PersonalOrgURL + $StrUser
    $SiteUrl= $SiteUrl+ "_" + $StrOrg
    return $SiteUrl
}
$ODfBURL = GetODfBURL "thomas.balkestahl@blksthl.se" "blksthl"

This will give the URL: https://blksthl-my.sharepoint.com/personal/thomas_balkestahl_blksthl_se

Thats it. Use it or not 🙂
