Compliance licenses at tenant level
Hi, We are a small organization of about 200 employees, and we have following requirements. DLP policies configuration at Exchange, OneDrive, SharePoint BYOD security Users should not be able to send files outside the org And so on as we evaluate We already have M365 Business Premium. However, after researching we figured out that M365 Business premium will alone not solve our requirements. May be compliance license will. We want to apply security policies at tenant level in our organization but definitely do not want every user to get licenses as this will be expensive for us and there is no requirement at all for our users. The question is, Is there a way to solve the above scenario?
Searching in a Microsoft List
How could a user restrict their search to a particular value in a particular field? Let's say I need to search for the value 'Williams' in the 'Company' field. I could enter "Williams" into the search bar, but the hits would include all items that contain the word "Williams" in any field. I want to restrict the search. How can one do that?New PAYG Service to Classify Historical SharePoint Data
There’s no doubt that SharePoint Online sites and OneDrive for Business accounts hold lots of old files. A new On Demand Classification PAYG service aims to find and classify that data and apply sensitivity and retention labels based on policy settings. It’s a good idea for tenants that has this kind of cold files hanging around gathering dust without anyone knowing if any of the files hold confidential information. https://office365itpros.com/2025/02/28/on-demand-classification/SharePoint Online Adds Support for Sensitivity Labels with User Defined Permissions
SharePoint Online will add support for files protected with user-defined permissions from March 2025. This step will enable support for Microsoft Search, DLP, eDiscovery, and content searches, but only for files processed by Microsoft Search. Processing happens automatically when new files are created or existing files are edited, so making all UDP-protected files searchable will take some time. Indexing doesn’t make UDP-protected files available to Copilot. https://office365itpros.com/2025/02/27/user-defined-permissions-labels-spo/Practical Graph: Creating SharePoint News Items from an RSS Feed
This article explains how to use the SharePoint Pages API to create new site pages with the Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK after reading information from an RSS feed. Parsing the RSS feed to find article details is just one of the challenges encountered and solved to accomplish the goal. https://practical365.com/sharepoint-pages-api-rss/Microsoft Removes Reactivation Fee for Archived SharePoint Sites
Microsoft 365 Archive will no longer charge fees to reactivate archived SharePoint Online sites after March 31, 2025. The good news might encourage higher use of Microsoft 365 Archive to store old but wanted material in a safe location while removing it from the view of apps like Microsoft 365 Copilot. The reduction in fees does not apply to archived OneDrive for Business accounts. https://office365itpros.com/2025/02/26/reactivate-sites-no-fee/
Office 365 Backup
Iam Looking For: Find a backup solution for our Office 365 data such as SharePoint/OneDrive content, e-mails, calendars, contacts, notes, tasks etc. ! The harddrives of the machine definitly need to be encrypted. Not sure of synology can do that reliably (LUKS?). Synology had some security issues in the past, but they might have been only relevant if they are exposed to the internet. I think we have two options: Backup in the office on encrypted drives with very restricted access (SSH?) Encrypt backup and upload it to S3 (not sure if there's a tool for that) I'm fine with both. Is there an open source tool that can mirror Office 365 on a local machine? (Linux) is the Synology tool proprietary?
