    Hi everyone,

     

    Is there anyway to turn off external communications except some user in Skype for business Online? I think it can do manually (by UI or powershell) but it will take a lot of time.

     

    Thanks a lot.

    I can turn on/off external communication by powershell. But a new user created, default setting is On. So i need to turn off mannually. It will take a lot of time, every week, every month.

    I want to get the following cross-domain library functionality in Sharepoint framework:

     

    var executor = new SP.RequestExecutor(appweburl);
    executor.executeAsync(
        {
            url:
                appweburl +
                "/_api/SP.AppContextSite(@target)/web/lists?@target='" +
                hostweburl + "'",
            method: "GET",
            success: successHandler,
            error: errorHandler
        }
    );

    Please suggest!

    Hi Waqar,

     

    It is possible to use JSOM or SP.RequestExecutor in SPFx's web parts too, when corresponding .js files are loaded explicitly, e.g.:

     

    var hostweburl = _spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl;
    ​
    var scriptbase = hostweburl + '/_layouts/15/';
    ​
    $.getScript(scriptbase + 'SP.Runtime.js', function () {
      $.getScript(scriptbase + 'SP.js', function () { 
        $.getScript(scriptbase + 'SP.RequestExecutor.js', execCrossDomainRequest); 
       });
    });
    ​
    function execCrossDomainRequest () {
        var appweburl = '[..web absolute url..]';
        var executor = new SP.RequestExecutor(appweburl);
        executor.executeAsync({
            url: appweburl + '/_api/web/lists',
            method: 'GET',
            headers: { 
              "Accept": "application/json; odata=verbose" 
            },
            success: function(results) {
               console.log(results.body);
            },
            error: function(sender, args) {
                console.log('Error: ' + args.get_message() + ' ' + args.get_stackTrace());
            }
        });
    }

    P.S.

    I can't check it for sure at the moment, yet this should work.

    We are trying out Teams. Is it normal for Teams to not be able to make calls to users still using Skype for Business? 3-4 of us are using Teams and we can not make video calls to users who have not upgraded yet.

    All of us here on the OneDrive Team have been hard at work delivering many of the OneDrive sync client updates we communicated at Ignite to further improve the user experience and administration of syncing files from Office 365. With the holidays rapidly approaching we wanted to give you an update on those enhancements.

    The best part is the latest OneDrive sync client will automatically update with these new capabilities. If you aren’t running the latest OneDrive sync client, or aren’t sure, you can learn more here.

     

    Activity center

    The activity center is now available in the latest OneDrive sync client on Mac and PC giving you visibility to the most recent sync activity and status. Simply click on the OneDrive icon in your system tray (PC) or Finder (Mac) to see your file sync

    Conditional access

    You can now restrict OneDrive sync to only domain joined or workplace joined devices. You can even make access contingent on PC health if you like. All of this can be managed through the new OneDrive admin center preview and by configuring Azure Active Directory policies. Learn more here.

     

    Syncing SharePoint sites

    Making sure you have the information that is critical to you on every device no matter where you are is key to our customers. The ability to sync SharePoint sites directly to OneDrive is one of these features that makes doing this easier and simpler for end users. We’ve had great feedback on the public preview of syncing SharePoint Online document libraries in the latest OneDrive sync client. We remain committed to providing a reliable and performant sync experience for all your Office 365 files and continue to refine the public preview to meet our quality expectations. We’re on target to make this capability generally available in January.

     

    Standalone Mac client

    Ever since we added OneDrive for Business support to the latest sync client, we’ve seen an increase of adoption and interest from the Mac community. However, one of the largest blockers for enterprise deployments is that most admins do not want to utilize the Mac App Store to deploy and distribute software due to its limitations.

    Today we’re releasing a standalone OneDrive sync client for Mac that you can deploy and manage outside of the Mac App Store. This standalone client also provides sync status visual overlays in Finder, a Finder shortcut for OneDrive, and the ability to set-up OneDrive sync to run at log in. This latest client also has built-in multi-language support. You can get the standalone client for Mac here.

    As we get ready for 2017, I want to take a moment to wish all of you a healthy and happy new year from the OneDrive/SharePoint teams here in Redmond. We look forward to continuing to bring all of you more great innovation while finding new ways to make you more productive no matter where and how you choose to work.

     

    Thank you and happy holidays!

    Nothing can prevent a user from being not smart and clicking something, but, if they do it through Edge, they have a 82% less chance of getting infected over other browsers due to the fact that Edge runs in it's own VM. Second, ATP can make you proactivly aware of key viruses and attacks so you can filter for them via your caching server, firewalls and antivirus software.

     

    As for a subpar expereience, the goal is for users to be able to access any files critical to them through a single view. Microsoft Graph brings intellegence to that view. Siloing those views removes access and insite that can help users to be more productive.

     

    Hope this helps clarifiy. Smiley Happy

    Has anyone had any luck with the Polycom VVX 600 and signing into S4B when you have MFA enabled on your account?  Or for that matter any polycom device?  I've tried app passwords and those don't seem to work either.  I haven't seen any documentaiton anywhere if this is supported or not, so just curious if anyone has any inforamtion about it and if it's not supported, when it might be.

    Hi Ben, I asked our Polycom representative directly two weeks ago and was told that it is on the roadmap for a future release but no date so far.
