Nu är det hög tid för ett SUCK möte innan semestrarna drar igång! Temat för det här mötet kommer vara att titta på vad de svenska operatörerna har att erbjuda för tjänster kring Lync. Vi kommer att prata om hur marknaden ser ut. Alla operatörer är själva välkomna att komma och berätta om sitt erbjudande samt sina planer.
Vi får se vilka som dyker upp!
Datumet är den 12e juni och vi kommer hålla till hos UClarity på Brunnsgatan 21 i Stockholm.
Vi kör som vanligt även i Lync för de som ej kan vara på plats.

The Swedish #Lync & #Office365 user groups

I’m personally involved in two different user groups with the base on linkedin.

Both groups are nearing 300 members and I think that’s a good number of the people representing the community in Sweden on these products.

Are you a member yet? If not you should definitely sign up (almost all of the talking is in Swedish though but that’s what translate.bing.com is for right) Winking smile

MAP 7.0 Beta can help you evaluate your licensing needs for #Lync

From the description of MAP 7.0 beta:

Assess your software usage and evaluate your licensing needs for Lync

The Software Usage Tracking feature in MAP 7.0 Beta is broadened to include Lync 2010. For Lync 2010, MAP provides a server inventory and software usage by device and user for Lync Standard features. MAP’s updated Software Usage Tracking feature provides consistent software usage reports for key Microsoft products including Windows Server, SQL Server, System Center, Forefront Endpoint Protection (FEP), and now Lync.

Sounds like a good feature right?

Technet wiki: #Lync user tips, tricks and tweaks for better productivity

Inspired by Ståle Hansen (Wiki: Lync Server 2010 Features and How to Configure Them) and the blog series on productivity by Matt Landis and Myself I wanted to create this wiki collection of productivity tips on how to work smarter with Lync 2010 for the end users of Lync. (u know those other people that actually work with the stuff we plays with all days… ;)
Please fill in with your blog posts, videos, links and whatever else you find useful in your daily life working with Lync 2010.

Privacy tips: Use presentation mode when you don’t want someone to see the content of an IM in the toast. #Lync

This is one more reason why you should use presentation mode in Windows 7 when doing a presentation (or when a customer is sitting next to you).

The first part to why you should use it can be found here: http://www.ultimate-communications.com/2012/01/productivity-tips-use-presentation-mode-when-you-dont-want-to-be-disturbed/

So, How do you enable it?

Just hit start and type “presentation” and hit enter. That should open up the Adjust settings before giving a presentation app.

EDIT: Pat Richard gave a great comment: If you do a lot of presentations, you can create a shortcut to “C:\Windows\System32\PresentationSettings.exe” which will bring up the dialog box at the click of a button.

In the Presentation Settings just mark the “I am currently giving a presentation” box and hit OK. And it might be a good idea to switch background to a nice company logo instead of that Diablo 3 pic that you have now.

This will result in the toast that pops up are a little more discreet.

And as you can see below it just says “Tommy Clarke is inviting you to a conversation.”

If we turn off the presentation mode, it would have shoved this instead.

Well that’s not an IM I want in front of 250 people Winking smile

Recover Deleted Items from shared mailboxes in Outlook 2007/2010 #Office365

In previous versions of Outlook you had to do a registry edit to enable this functionality but this is no longer needed in Outlook 2010, except if you are going to recover deleted items from a shared mailbox.
In Office 365 / Exchange Online its more common to create shared mailboxes than ever before since they are essentially free of charge (for up to 5 GB).

These accounts don’t have a username and password so the only way to access them are via the open other mailbox option in OWA or to add it as a secondary mailbox in Outlook.

And in OWA there is no option to mark every item, so let’s say you have 20.000 deleted items that you want to recover, well then this is not an option.
And if you have added it as a secondary mailbox in your outlook 2007/2010 then you will not see recover deleted items for shared mailbox folders, unless you do the old registry edit.

To enable the recover delete item button for shared mailboxes you need to enable a registry setting manually.

  1. Start the registry editor
  2. Locate and then click the following key in the registry:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Exchange\Client\Options

    (If there is no Option folder, just create it)

  3. On the Edit menu, click Add Value, and then add the following DWORD value:
    DWORD name: DumpsterAlwaysOn
    Data type: DWORD
    Value data: 1
  4. Close the registry editor

Now restart Outlook and the option to recover deleted items is now there.

*This post would have had picture in it, but 20.000 items takes like 30 minutes to recover and it kinds of locks Outlook so this is the only picture I could get

PowerShell script to recover all deleted items in a mailbox

Dave Barrett has a script on the EMEA Messaging Developer Team Blog that solves a problem that a customer had today, somehow 2000+ emails that should be in the inbox and in various folders were found in the Recoverable Items folder or the “dumpster”.

I did search a while to find if there were someway to recover this via PowerShell and then found their blog.

From the description:

“We had a request recently for a sample PowerShell script that shows how to recover deleted items from and Exchange 2010 mailbox. While not possible (as far as I am aware) using any standard Exchange cmdlets, it is certainly possible using the EWS Managed API.
The script has been written so that it can be automated quite easily. The scenario that the script was originally requested for was to be able to run such a script against a large number of mailboxes where items had been mistakenly deleted. The script parameters are…”

Set the RetentionPolicyTag for Deleted Items in #Office365

To change the Retention policy for the deleted items from the default 30 days to lets say 90 days follow this guide

First connected with PowerShell to Exchange Online Service.

a. Install and configure Windows PowerShell.
b. Connect PowerShell to Exchange Online service.

To change the default RetentionPolicyTag for all users run.

Set-RetentionPolicyTag -Identity “Deleted Items” -AgeLimitForRetention 90

To verify all retention policy that are applied to a specific mailbox , please take the following steps.

c. Disable the current RPT applied to the Deleted Item Folders, by running the following  cmdlet using PowerShell.
Set-RetentionPolicyTag “Deleted Items” -RetentionEnabled $false

d. Create a new retention policy tag for the default folder “Deleted Items” by using the following command:

New-RetentionPolicyTag “Exec -Default” -Type All -RetentionEnabled $true -AgeLimitForRetention 90 -RetentionAction DeleteandAllowRecovery

This example creates a retention policy tag for the default folder Deleted Items. When the tag is applied to a mailbox, items in the Deleted Items folder are deleted after 90 day.

After that, create a new retention policy or set up a current policy to link to the newly created retention policy tag.

e. Use PowerShell to apply the retention policy to Deleted Items

Set-Mailbox ” Deleted Items” -RetentionPolicy Execs

The following command applies the retention policy named Execs to Deleted Items:
