However, not in its final form. The technology was not properly implemented until Windows 10, version 1710. Microsoft changed the New Technology File System (NTFS) of Windows 10 for this purpose.

Correctly delete and restore files with OneDrive

Hans Brender

In my OneDrive workshops, which I hold for midsize and enterprise companies, the topic of deleting and restoring always leads to discussions. Deleting is so easy, but when it comes to restoring, administrators sometimes get confused. The truth is, once you understand how OneDrive’s file versioning works, restoring is straightforward, if a bit clunky. This is a republication of an article published by Tekkigurus, because Microsoft has implemented some changes in the last 24 months, and these have also been described in this article. The images have also been updated. The Scenario We have two users in the company (Hans … Correctly delete and restore files with OneDrive weiterlesen

OneDrive: new Sharing with expiration date

Hans Brender

In July 2024, I reported on this in the German M365 News Show. Unfortunately, it still contained errors. I reported these to the Microsoft OneDrive group in Redmond. Then the sharing was withdrawn. And it took quite some time, but now the new sharing with expiration date has been published again: Anyone Nothing has changed here. The administrator can specify a time limit for the anonymous link (can be forwarded) for the entire tenant (max. 730 days), which the user can only shorten and not extend. After the time has expired, the link becomes ineffective. So if anonymous sharing is … OneDrive: new Sharing with expiration date weiterlesen

OneDrive: neues Teilen mit Ablaufdatum

Hans Brender

Im Juli 2024 habe ich in der M365News Sendung darüber berichtet. Leider waren darin noch Fehler enthalten. Diese habe ich der Microsoft OneDrive Gruppe in Redmond mitgeteilt. Dann wurde das Teilen zurückgezogen. Und es hat eine geraume Zeit gedauert, aber jetzt wurde das neue Teilen mit Ablaufdatum wieder veröffentlicht Für Jeden Dabei hat sich nichts verändert. Der Administrator kann für den anonymen Link (kann weitergeleitet werden) eine Zeitvorgabe für den gesamten Tenant vorgeben (max 730 Tage), den der Benutzer nur verkürzen und nicht erweitern kann. Nach Ablauf der Zeit wird der Link unwirksam. Wenn also anonymes Teilen erlaubt ist, dann … OneDrive: neues Teilen mit Ablaufdatum weiterlesen

Sharing with a temporary restriction

Hans Brender

The automatic closing of links has always been on the wish list of administrators. Because a closed link, or rather a link that no longer leads to the target, is one less vulnerability. But haven’t we already been through this? Yes, but only with an anonymous „external“ link. If the administrators allowed it at all, they could set a time limit for anonymous sharing. The maximum was 730 days, i.e. 2 years.I always mention this in workshops, but I suggest much shorter periods. As an administrator, I myself have specified 80 days. The user himself can shorten this time, but … Sharing with a temporary restriction weiterlesen

OneDrive: Web Deployment mit unterschiedlichen Ergebnissen

Hans Brender

Was bedeutet unterschiedliche Ergebnisse? Ja, ich weiß: Wenn Microsoft eine Funktion ausrollt, dann kann es bis zu 21 Tage dauern, bis der letzte Benutzer von Microsoft 365 das Ergebnis hat. Wenn nicht…Ja, wenn nicht Microsoft nach dem Rollout, und das sind nur wenige Prozent, auf die Bremse drückt und den Rollout stoppt. So ein kompletter Rollout kann schon mal 21 Tage dauern, auch ohne einen Stop. Ich weiß, der Vergleich hinkt, aber läßt sich an einem Film, den viele gesehen haben, gut erklären. Independence Day, von Roland Emmerich aus dem Jahr 1996. Im Film wurde die Erde von Aliens angegriffen, … OneDrive: Web Deployment mit unterschiedlichen Ergebnissen weiterlesen

OneDrive: Colored folders not only in OneDrive

Hans Brender

First in OneDrive They were first seen in OneDrive (for Business). Colored folders. You could color each folder in OneDrive with just a few clicks in the browser. In addition to favorites, this is another way to improve the overview. The whole thing works not only in OneDrive, but also in SharePoint. Shared folders can also be color-coded, but only under „My Documents“. What provides an overview in OneDrive can very quickly turn negative. Because whenever a file is shared with others in the company. Because now the question arises, who has the right to assign a color to a … OneDrive: Colored folders not only in OneDrive weiterlesen

OneDrive: Farbige Odner im Explorer

Hans Brender

Zuerst in OneDrive Zuerst waren sie in OneDrive (for Business) und zu sehen. Farbige Ordner. Man konnte jeden Ordner in OneDrive mit wenigen Klicks im Browser einfärben. Neben Favoriten eine weitere Möglichkeite, die Übersicht zu verbessern. Das ganze funktioniert nicht nur in OneDrive, sondern auch in SharePoint. Auch geteilte Ordner kann man farbig markieren, allerdings nur unter „Eigene Dateien“. Was im OneDrive für Übersicht sorgt, kann sich sehr schnell ins Negative drehen. Denn immer dann, wenn eine Datei mit anderen im Unternehmen geteilt wird. Denn jetzt stellt sich die Frage, wer hat das Recht, einem Ordner eine Farbe zuzuweisen?

OneDrive: CheckOut / CheckIn

During the Microsoft OneDrive Office Hours on 04/17/24 the question comes up, why not using CheckIn and CheckOut to handle Conflicts. And because its still available for SharePoint, but people do not find it on OneDrive (for Business). But OneDrive for Business is also a site collection of SharePoint it must be there. If you have time and want to check it, then you may read the configuration below. But I do not recommend the CheckOut/Checkin function.

Ob sich Teams als neues Forum durchsetzt, wird die Zukunft zeigen. Während ich zwei Sessions zu genau diesem Thema auf dem MVP Summit 2024 in Redmond USA bei Microsoft besucht habe, hatte ich noch Zweifel. Auch bei einer Besprechung dieser Woche mit Personen aus dem Microsoft Umfeld ginge es um die Identität. Und dann sind wir also schon mittendrin. Denn wir benutzen hier nicht Microsoft Teams (Arbeit oder Schule), sondern Microsoft Teams Home. Und dort kann man sich (derzeit) nur mit einem privaten Account (MSA) anmelden. Noch kein MSA Konto?

Hans Brender

Only time will tell whether Teams will establish itself as a new forum. While I attended two sessions on this very topic at the MVP Summit 2024 in Redmond USA at Microsoft, I still had my doubts. A meeting this week with people from the Microsoft environment was also about identity. And then we’re right in the middle of it. Because we don’t use Microsoft Teams here (work or school), but Microsoft Teams Home. And there you can (currently) only log in with a private Account account (MSA). No MSA account yet?
