External Sharing in SharePoint and OneDrive is changing: What You Need to Know

on
In an ongoing effort to create a more secure environment by default, Microsoft is introducing an important security update that will affect how external users access content shared through SharePoint and OneDrive. Starting July 1, 2025, any links shared with external users before your organization enabled Microsoft Entra B2B integration will no longer work. This change applies to all organizations that have already enabled or will enable SharePoint and OneDrive integration with Microsoft Entra B2B (Most organizations I have looked into so far).

Lync Backup Script 2013 v 3_2

on
I have just uploaded a new version of the Lync 2013 Backup script. And I have called it V3.2

It contains a few bugfixes, and what I would like to call enhancements.

Bugfix: Script now delete the temporary file share I create for enterprise backup

-KeepABS: A new parameter if you would like to also backup your ABFiles directory from the file-share. I have excluded this folder in the default backup, as I would much more like to recreate the fresh files with "update-csaddressbook" instead.

-backupto: Another new parameter to let you decide where you want the backup to be stored.
Very handy if you run this as a scheduled task, and don't want your c drive to fill up (Default is c:\Lync Backup)

Once again, thank you for your encouragements and support. I would have been able to fix/catch all of this if I didn't get feedback from all of you.
