Celebrating 10 Years as a Microsoft MVP!

on
Back from my vacation, I am thrilled to share that I have been awarded the Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) award for the 10th consecutive year. In addition to being recognized as an expert within Teams, I am have also been recognized as an expert with Microsoft Copilot. This means a lot to me.  Being an MVP has been an incredibly rewarding journey, both personally and professionally. It has provided me with countless opportunities to grow, learn, and connect with like-minded professionals who share a passion for technology and innovation.  The award is not just a title; it's a testament to the hard work, dedication, and contributions to the tech community. It's a privilege to be part of such an esteemed group of individuals who share the same love for technology, and sharing their knowledge about it.  As I reflect on the past decade, I am thankful for the experiences and knowledge I've gained. This recognition motivates me to continue sharing my expertise, mentor

Backup Skype for Business - backup-sfb has been updated

on
There hasn't been a need for many updates to this tool, as it seems to be working just fine on most installations. It was however time to release v4.01 with a few additions, and here are the highlights of this release:

New features:

  • SkipAllSQL -  A new switch, to skip all Database backups
  • KeepDaysLog - A new parameter to control the number of days to keep old backups. default is 5 days
  • StoreBackupto - A new parameter to control where you want to store the final zipfile.
Changes:
Some SQL servers have disabled WMI access remotely for security reasons, and my method of connecting and discovering instances thus failed. I have tried to recreate the connection method, but have only verified this on named instances. If someone using the default instance could verify it still works, it would be greatly appreciated.


As always, the script can be found by following the link in my menu above, or simply by clicking here.
Back up Skype for Business, and sleep well :)
