Filter Spam Using Mail Flow Rules in Exchange Online

Spam emails are one of the most common tactics used by cybercriminals to steal sensitive information, distribute malware, or compromise Microsoft 365 email accounts. These messages often look like real emails but may contain fake links, harmful attachments, or misleading information. If users aren’t careful, clicking on them can lead to data loss, malware infections, or even security breaches.  While built-in anti-spam policy provides a solid first layer of defense, organizations can enhance spam filtering by using mail flow rules...

Set Up Verification Checks in Microsoft Teams Meetings

With hybrid work on the rise, virtual team meetings are everywhere, connecting people worldwide. But this convenience comes with a downside: anonymous bots sneaking into Microsoft Teams meetings and webinars. These digital intruders are often the result of allowing anonymous users to join Teams meetings. Once inside, they can capture conversations secretly, flood the chat with spam, or throw the whole meeting off track. While traditional meeting policies, such as blocking anonymous users, can reduce the risk of bot access,... Read More Read More

How to Allow Users to Record and Display Name Pronunciation in Microsoft 365

How to Allow Users to Record and Display Name Pronunciation in Microsoft 365

As a Microsoft 365 admin, you’ve probably mastered optimizing M365 licensing costs and maybe even PowerShell to manage users. But helping users pronounce their co-workers’ names correctly? That’s a challenge of an entirely different flavor. Getting names right at work is not just about avoiding awkward moments; it’s also about fostering a culture where everyone feels genuinely connected and respected. When users hear their names pronounced correctly during meetings or discussions, it shows that the organization truly values who they... Read More Read More

One of the most effective ways to achieve this is to encrypt emails with transport rule in Exchange Online. This approach lets you apply... Read More Read More

Manage SharePoint Online Subsites in Microsoft 365 Using PowerShell

Manage SharePoint Online Subsites in Microsoft 365 Using PowerShell

There has long been debate about whether to create and manage SharePoint Online hub sites or subsites to organize related sites. While both approaches help structure your environment, Microsoft recommends using hub sites for their flexibility and flat site structure. Despite this, many organizations still use subsites—especially when there’s a need to quickly create a related site under a site collection. There are practical scenarios where subsites make sense. For example, imagine you’ve already created an IT site for your... Read More Read More

How to Manage SharePoint Document Library in Microsoft 365

As your organization grows, so does the volume of files, documents, and data you need to manage in SharePoint. Without a structured system, information becomes scattered, making it difficult to locate important files when needed. That’s why you need to create SharePoint Document Libraries—a solution for storing and organizing documents in SharePoint Online within your organization. But is that enough? Absolutely not! Equal importance must be given to managing these libraries effectively after they are created. Without proper management, challenges... Read More Read More

How to Manage Apps and Service Principal Objects Using Microsoft Entra PowerShell

How to Manage Apps and Service Principal Objects Using Microsoft Entra PowerShell

If you’re managing apps and service principals in Microsoft 365, there’s one change you can’t afford to overlook: the deprecation of the Azure AD module. Which means the Azure AD cmdlets you previously relied on to register apps, configure permissions, or manage service principals are becoming obsolete. Microsoft Graph PowerShell is now the official replacement, but its different structure makes both daily management tasks and the migration of Azure AD scripts more time-consuming. To ease this transition, Microsoft now allows... Read More Read More

Restrict Attachment Downloads in OWA Using CA Policy

Restrict Attachment Downloads in OWA Using CA Policy

For IT administrators, securing email communication in the modern workplace extends beyond just inbox monitoring. With the growing adoption of BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) policies, it becomes crucial to control how employees access emails and attachments, particularly when using their personal devices. The risk of data exposure increases significantly when these attachments are accessed via OWA on unmanaged devices.  Unrestricted access to attachments in such scenarios opens vulnerabilities, allowing sensitive documents to be downloaded and shared without authorization, leading...

I’ve got something urgent.” “Declined — not available at that time.” We’ve all been there🤯. Wouldn’t it be easier if you could just schedule a meeting based on attendees’ preferences? That’s exactly what the... Read More Read More
