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.

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.

SharePoint Conference 2019 - Secure the data, not the device

Hi, I am just sitting here and planning my session for SharePoint Conference 2019.

While SharePoint have been around for a while now, it might seem like 2019 will be a year when many companies will start to migrate content of their file servers to SharePoint Online.

PowerShell script to create a junction point to make it easier to access OneDrive from VDI, Citrix and Remote Desktop Services

A workaround when you are using any kind of Remote Desktop Services, VDI and other terminal services function (or applications) that do not support the OneDrive for business client is accessing the files from the PC you are physical logged on. But browsing to the file path where the files/file links are physical locate might be a bit too much to ask your users for.

Upcoming seminars, conferences and public appearance of the Bluescreen Brothers

Looking like it will be a busy period forward regarding public speaking. So just as you can keep track here is a list of dates of verified “shows”

Migrating users homefolders or fileshares to OneDrive/Sharepoint with PowerShell

Moving files from on premise fileservers are a task more and more organizations are working with, both home folders to OneDrive and fileshares to sites. Microsoft have created a nice graphical interface for this task "Microsoft SharePoint Migration Tool", you can check it out in my blog post
"Migration users homefolders to OneDrive with Microsoft SharePoint Migration Tool"

But there are some limitations, and in many cases, it might be simpler to just script the process. Microsoft has also created a guide for that too.
The guide are called "Upload on-premises content to SharePoint Online using PowerShell cmdlets"

Migrating users homefolders to OneDrive with Microsoft SharePoint Migration Tool

Migration to OneDrive seems to be a hot topic these days, I have done several sessions on different conferences the last 6-8 months. And every time the room have been overfilled with curious people, my Ignite session had about 3 times the audience as the room was setup for and during Techdays in Sweden there where people standing all over the room and in the door opening for an hour. It would be nice for my ego to just write that on my score card as being awesome, but I think I must be honest enough to share the glory with hitting the right topic at the right time.

So, I will try to create some articles and help guiding more people to start using OneDrive as the primary storage for the user’s own files. 

NICCONF: OneDrive Scripts

TechDays Sweden: What a fantastic day

Just chilling after 2 amassing session here at TechDays in Stockholm

LET'S PUT THE BUSINESS INTO ONEDRIVE FOR BUSINESS  

WHAT’S NEW FOR SMBS IN FALL CREATORS UPDATE

And if you want my Test-OneDrivePath.ps1 you can find the newest version on my GitHub under construction page HERE

Maybe I will have time to create a better guide for it soon. Remember it works just as well with your Sharepoint migration

Ignite Session: THR3026, The Presentation!

Ignite Session: THR3026 - Migrating home folders to OneDrive for Business

One of the big benefit of working in a company like Lumagate is the focus on continuous development of knowledge among the employees. Combining this with the amassing culture of sharing is caring mentality, gives us that special edge that is needed to solve challenges.

I had been trying to create a script to search for OneDrive limitations in folders to use before migrating or to have as a troubleshooting tools during migration. The Microsoft support and recovery assistant for office 365 can be helpful, but that require to be installed and are a GUI based solution. So running a script is a much more efficient way. I was a bit stuck so I just posted a "help me, please" note in our Teams channel and 1 hour late I had a really promising draft of a script handed to me by my colleague Reidar Johansen.
