I have now done a video here:

to provide a walk through of what the execution of that script looks like. The script is located at:

CIAOPS Need to Know podcast now available on Spotify

Spotify

I’m very happy to announce that my CIAOPS Need to Know podcast is now available on Spotify. You will find it here:

https://open.spotify.com/show/7ejj00cOuw8977GnnE2lPb

The reason for it taking this long was that Spotify only accepts audio only podcasts and while back I did a number of episodes that included video. Thus, MP4 vs MP3 versions prevented them being available on Spotify.

No longer. Subscribe and listen in to all the latest news from the Microsoft Cloud with a focus on SMB.

Need to Know podcast–Episode 326

Disabling Linkedin account connections in Microsoft 365 [VIDEO]

Video – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnffLyKoiP0

Disable Linkedin integrations in Microsoft 365

The first place to disable Linkedin integration in Microsoft 365 is inside the Azure portal.

Navigate to Microsoft Entra ID, then select Users as shown above.

Select User settings on the left and set the Linkedin account connections to No.

Remember to Save your settings before existing this page.

Now navigate to the Exchange Online administration portal. Expand the Roles option on the left and then select Outlook Web Apps policies.

Typically, there will only be one OWA policy as shown above. If there are more, then you will need to repeat this process with each.

Select the policy name, here OwaMailboxPolicy-Default..

From the window that appears on the right select Manage features as shown above.

Ensure Linkedin contact sync is unselected as shown above.

Save your settings before you exit.

Set Exchange Online quarantine notification period

Many people have suspect emails sent to quarantine in Microsoft 365. This is achieved using a quarantine policy which you find at:

https://security.microsoft.com

You expand the options under Email & collaboration as shown above and select Policies and rules. On the right you select Threat policies as shown above.

If you scroll down the page a bit you’ll find Quarantine policies as shown above, which you should select.

The notification period is controlled in the GUI via the Global settings menu option as shown above.

From the dialog that appears from the right, scroll down to the bottom of the page and you will find an option Send end-user spam notifications as shown above. Presently, the minimum you can configure this to is Within 4 hours.

After you make any changes here select the Save button at the very bottom to update these settings for all the quarantine policies you have.
