Domain Name plays a vital role in your organization, because it lays the foundation to support all business applications. After you have completed your content migration during a cross-tenant consolidation project and your users are working from the new target tenant, it is time to transfer the domain name space to the remaining tenant. This post outlines the five best practices to do this.
In April, we had over 450 attendees join and ask questions in our TEC Talk on lessons learned from Office 365 tenant to tenant migrations. Get the highlights and the Q&A to the top questions asked!
Ten years ago, Microsoft bought Yammer to get into the world of enterprise social networking. It was a big thing at the time, but less so now, and Yammer's role inside Microsoft 365 is uncertain in the minds of many. Those who like Yammer get value from its use, but it does seem that Yammer has been left behind by apps like Teams.
I used Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps in a project with Microsoft 365 E5 licenses and realized it’s a handy and powerful tool at a reasonable price even if purchased as a standalone product. This post will outline practical use cases for using it to monitor and enforce restrictions on Microsoft 365 apps and some third-party apps to reduce the likelihood of information leakage.
Follina and DogWalk are both vulnerabilities arising from the bundled Windows diagnostics toolset. Microsoft hasn’t released any patches for these yet, but Defender will block Follina and there are various other mitigations strategies discussed in this post.

Log ingestion and storage can represent a big portion of the cost of Microsoft Sentinel. This article explores how to increase cost efficiency within Microsoft Sentinel by leveraging Log Analytics capabilities.
Microsoft Information Protection generates a lot of information for administrators to monitor and digest, spotting anomalies in all that is difficult. Thijs Lecomte explores how and why you may want to use Microsoft Sentinel to ingest and analyze this data instead.
Paul Robichaux explains recent changes in how Microsoft 365 Apps Channels updates are deployed and why it matters to you. He'll also cover how to effectively control which users have which versions of the apps and when, and how, those apps will be upgraded.
The Microsoft 365 Groups Ownership Governance policy is now generally available. Also known as the ownerless group policy, this capability allows organizations to make sure that all groups have owners by detecting ownerless groups and extending invitations to active group members to become owners. It's a useful capability, especially in large tenants with many groups.
The complexities of Office 365 tenants only increases the complexities of creating an Office 365 migration plan. To generate an initial assessment for a tenant, I created a PowerShell script to report the most important information that influences migration planning.
Organizations have lots of choice in terms of the licenses they buy to use Office 365 and Microsoft 365 functionality. If you're interested in compliance and data governance, maybe the Office 365 E5 plan delivers the best combination of functionality and price. Let's see what the numbers say.
