Office 365 public website change

Posted by Ed Zirkle on February 4, 2015
Posted in: Uncategorized. Tagged: Intranet SharePoint, Microsoft, Office 365, public website, SharePoint, Wix.com. Leave a comment

Hi All,

Brian and I have been working on the back-end of Office 365 – SharePoint – and learning some of the in’s and out’s of how all of this comes together.

Microsoft has decided to drop the public facing website in the Office 365 offering and have you work from a 3rd party.

We will keep working on the Intranet SharePoint side and post as we get comfortable with how it all comes together, but will post a bit more regular on this change over to the 3rd partly hosting of the Internet side.

Here are some links to current information.

Office 365 message center posting from 1/5/15:

We’re making changes to SharePoint Online Public Websites
Details
In February, we’re removing the SharePoint Online Public Website feature for new Office 365 subscription plans. Office 365 customers who currently use this feature will continue to have access to the feature for a minimum of two years following this change. In addition, Microsoft will offer alternate solutions from industry leaders to enable Office 365 customers to easily integrate their public presence within their Office 365 environment. Additional information

Answer from Office 365 community:

Hi Ed,

Yes Office 365 will discontinue the SharePoint Online Public Website feature. All Office 365 administrators who have provisioned SharePoint Online will receive a notification of this change in the Office 365 Message center.

The following website hosting companies currently partner with Office 365:

  • GoDaddy
  • Wix.com

Customers who currently use the SharePoint Online Public Website feature will continue to have access to the feature for a minimum of two years after the changeover date of March 9, 2015.  Moving forward, these customers will have the option of subscribing to third-party solutions for public website functionality and should plan to move to one of the third-party solutions within the next two years.

New customers who subscribe to Office 365 after the changeover date won’t have access to this feature. Moving forward, Office 365 customers will have access to industry-leading third-party offerings that will enable them to have a public website that provides a complete online solution and presence.

Thanks,
Elaine

Seems the interface for WP 10 will be different and might not work on older phones given the tech specs.

OneDrive and Lumia 1020

Posted by Ed Zirkle on December 24, 2014
Posted in: Uncategorized. Leave a comment

I’ll have to update this post later, but it seems I’ve blown 40GB’s of space on OneDrive!

1. Found out the ‘raw’ 1020 41.7 MB high res file is now being uploaded to OneDrive so that wouldn’t take long to fill the stocking.

2. The user, me, should off-load video on a more regular basis.  Found one vid at 1/2 GB!  And problable something that no one would ever watch.

Waiting for the zip file from OneDrive to finish.  Could be close to 20 GB and I’m on the fast WOW connection, still will take some time.

More later…

And here is an update:

Some files couldn’t fit in the zip file. To download them, select them again, and then click Download.
Only part of OneDrive-2014-12-24 could be downloaded from OneDrive.
The limit for downloads is 4 GB or 65,000 files at one time, whichever comes first.
To try downloading any missing files yourself, visit: OneDrive

Interfacing & $15 per/hr

Posted by Ed Zirkle on December 31, 2013
Posted in: Uncategorized. Tagged: fast food, hardware, Intel, Kiosks, minimum wage, Touchscreen, User interface. Leave a comment

I have seen the future and it is here.

Forget the $15 per hour issue at fast-food restaurants, touch screens will replace language issues, wrong items orders, incorrect change, training time, no-show for work and that wait to place an order. I’d seen something like it at the mega-gas-station. Small screen to place your order, get a number and pick it up when done. Get exactly what you ordered. Well there is now a full-sized kiosk to order from. All it is going to take is some manager type up front to help those with interfacement issues and people in the back to make your order, done. BTW ‘interfacement issues’ will be a new term for people having problems with touch screens and self checkout lanes.

So all the fuss about $15 per/hr will be a non-issue.

Windows Defender automatic definition updates in Windows 8?

Posted by Ed Zirkle on December 4, 2013
Posted in: Uncategorized. Leave a comment

very nice bit of info here

omnidirecttech

Yes, as long as you have Windows Updates set to automatically install.

But if you don’t, what then?  Unless I have missed something I can find no built-in option to allow for Windows Defender definition updates and scheduling.

I personally prefer to review updates and install them when I choose.  I find it unfortunate Microsoft doesn’t allow for a higher level of user customization in regards to Windows updates.

So… what I have done in order to keep my Windows Defender up-to-date is create a task in Task Scheduler.  After you open Task Scheduler in Administrative Tools, or by searching for “Schedule Tasks”, you will see there is already a Windows Defender section.  Here is where you can add the update task.  Below are screen shots of my configuration you can use as a starting point.

 

 

 

If you are curious what else MpCmdRun.exe can do just type…
