Free Office 365 Applications

There are many different Office 365 subscriptions. But as an organization, you often need multiple subscriptions to get the best out of Office 365, Dynamics 365 or Microsoft 365. Think of Azure Active Directory plans (click here en-US/NL-NL), Flow plans (click here en-US/NL-NL) or PowerApps plans (click here en-US/NL-NL). But also in the subscriptions that are similar to each other at first, there are differences.

For example, take Office 365 plan Business Premium and plan E3. Comparing these plans differs at minimum points. Yet at a plan E3 you do not directly have the decision bookings. Fortunately, you don't have to pay extra for this. Microsoft offers the option of activating Business Apps (free) to enable an organization to use additional applications. In the article I will link below, it explains what you need to do to get bookings activated for example.

Install PowerShell commands for Office 365

Previously, it was not possible to install the SharePoint Online Management Shell directly from PowerShell. From the Microsoft site, an installation file had to be downloaded. For completeness: Go to the site.

Fortunately, it is now possible to download and install the SharePoint Online Management Shell from PowerShell. I am always looking for the code. Hopefully, the following is also useful for you. Copy and paste the following into PowerShell (turn it on as administrator) and run. Click on "yes" or "Yes to all".


Install Module SharePointPnPPowerShellOnline
Install Module MSOnline
Install Module AzureAD
Install-Module Microsoft. Online. SharePoint. PowerShell-Force
Install-Module-Name Microsoft teams
Install-Module CredentialManager-Force

In addition to installing, we can now also perform updates.
Again, we need to run PowerShell as an administrator.

Update Module SharePointPnPPowerShellOnline
Update Module MSOnline
Update Module AzureAD
Microsoft. Online. SharePoint. PowerShell Update Module
Update Module-Name Microsoft teams
Update-Module CredentialManager-Force

Fun.

CollaborationSharePoint is the ideal platform to share data. Microsoft has released the Office 365 (SharePoint Online) made even easier to share data with external. For we are going to give remote users access SharePoint Online, we need to know what is now a remote user can go Microsoft has a clear policy which is now an external user.

On the Microsoft site says the following:

What is an external user?

An external user is a person who has access to your SharePoint Online site has been granted, but that is not a licensed user within your organization. External users are users who is not an employee, contractor or local representatives for you or your subsidiaries. (Full article)

Display Microsoft that one should and can work with users outside the organization. Setup a site for customers to share documents and information is allowed and possible. It is therefore possible to lists and libraries. Sharing site is not just. Within the “centeral administration of SharePoint Online within Office 365, one needs to specify a site may be shared with external.

It is possible that the remote user can send the link also to third. If a user is authenticated need to login to see or edit a document, the used to have a valid Microsoft Account (Live ID). If the user logs in for the 1st time remembers the user with that Microsoft Sharepoint Account with see or edit the document.
