Demos delivered in this session

  • Configuration-as-Code for Microsoft 365 with Microsoft365DSC – Desire State Configuration – a PowerShell Module that represents your entire Microsoft 365 tenant’s configuration as code and allows DevOps to monitor and control configuration discrepancies.  Capabilities include automate, export, synchronize, access, monitor, and report.   Learn what it is, how to use PowerShell script to find/create a policy, import/export a configuration, monitor config drift, ways to maintain a desired state, etc.  Q&A throughout.

  • Automatically recognize your team champions :trophy: with CLI for Microsoft 365 – with existing cmdlets in CLI, query criteria and a business objective (ID champions), Tenant Admins can modify general site wide reporting (i.e., chat, file activity) to identify top active Microsoft Teams contributors or SharePoint users within a timeframe.   For chat ranking in a channel - count messages, replies, likes, comments by contributor, return top 3.  Via Webhook, send Adaptive Card to communicate champion status.   

  • Updates on Independent Publisher Connectors & Care Quality Commissions Connector Demo –  13 custom connectors added in October.  Create a connector earn a Credly badge.  Get a look at the CQC connector that takes data from the Care Quality Commission in England - independently gathers data on care service providers.   A Power App elegantly displays care provider rankings by location calling 2 flows that get location details via the connector in the back-end.
