End off year and first set off conferences and speaking engagements for 2020

2019

2019 was a busy year (as most off them usually are). Lots of conferences and speaking engagements, Nordic Infrastructure Conference and MVP Dagen in Oslo, SharePoint Conference in Las Vegas, Ignite in Orlando and Paris just to mention some.

My Microsoft Ignite 2019 Activity Summary

Microsoft Ignite 2019

You always get overwhelmed and impressive by Microsoft Ignite, no matter how many times you have been on it. The energy from the attendees and organizers are always a boost that makes the jetlag and sore feet from all the walking feel quite unimportant.

Change search provider for Edge Chromium edition

Love the new chromium based edge but it's currently a bit annoying to change the search provider.
found help in this article, but its quite old and not accurate any longer (but still gave me the solution on what to look for)  :https://windowsloop.com/change-chromium-edge-search-engine/

Quick fix is to type in: edge://settings/search

If your preferred search provider is missing you might need to go into their site first

Ignite The Tour Paris - BRK30010 session

Just finished my session "BRK30010 - With so many different ways to secure data across the Office 365 platform, it’s hard to know what to use when"

Don't know what happen with the name, took about 2 slides and 3 minutes just to read it. Event tried to use a acronym "WsmdwtsdatO365pihtkwtuw" still long and took even longer to pronounce it.

But the session worked, awesome audience here in Paris.

The next episode!

I have been a consultant since 96/97, working within all different kind and sizes of companies, both as a hired gun for customer and employee in different consultant houses. Enjoying the differences in environments and demands have made the work hard at times, but most rewarding and educational.

Change Windows 10 from volume license (VLK Pro/Enterprise key) to use the key machines built-in key

Felt a bit stupid today (again). Have been struggling with some Microsoft Surface Go devices. Love the device but, when they are shipped with Windows 10 1803 version you will use some time updating them. So my brilliant idea was to reinstall them clean with the latest updated ISO from a stick. Smart right?, jupp except that I download the business VLK version.

MVP Dagen 2019 and Innofactor webinar

I have 2 events coming up now right after the summer. First one is a webinar on the 28. of August and the next one is Microsoft Dagen in Oslo, Norway. Main foucs on both are related to OneDrive/SharePoint and security.

Summer holiday and nice resources to help you stay out of the sun

Here in Norway, the summer holiday is about to start for a bunch of people. We know from experience that many IT Pros have the danger of self-combustion if they get hit by direct sunlight. So to make sure that doesn't happen I have collected some nice resources for you to spend time on your IT ninja skills instead of self-combustion.

Recordings of demos and slidedeck from SharePoint conference 2019

Back to work after speaking at SharePoint Conference 2019 in fabulous Las Vegas. Used a bit more time then I calculated on uploading video and slides from my presentation. Who would know that bandwidth on airports and conference hotel might be slow ;-)

Sharepoint Conference 2019 - Secure your data, not your device podcast with Pål-Erik

Sitting and doing some final tweaks on my presentation for the SharePoint Conference.
It looks like there will be gladiators in there, of course, I am after all talking about information security.

I Was thinking about starting this blog post like this:

What do I have in common with Ozzy, Iron Maiden and Bob Seger?

Test-MigrationReadyness.ps1 Script

I have added a OneDrive/SharePoint migration related script to my GitHub

This is an add-on to make my script "Test-OneDrivePath.ps1" only check against specified folders (and its subfolders) instead of all folders in the specified path.

Slides and links to scripts from my NIC 2019 sessions

Another Nordic Infrastructure Conference has come to an end. As always got to talk to lots of interresting people attending and speaking. Got my first bluescreen during a presentation, looks like it was dlidusb2.dll a DisplayLink driver that caused it. Luckily my Surfacebook 2 booted up fast and got me going without to much hassle.
