RE: Entra ID with Cirrus SAML bridge

Found In Egroup: Identity and Access Management \ view thread
Hello Hudson, We've utilized Cirrus for the past two years and it's worked out well for us (we are an Azure AD institution, and primarily use it for our InCommon federation). It's addressed our NIH MFA requirements, dmptool, and various other integrations. Happy to address any specific questions ...

Copilot for M365 - licensing error in Teams?

Posted By Phillip Lyle 02-19-2024 12:11:00 PM
Found In Egroup: Microsoft Tools in Education \ view thread
Hi everyone, Curious if anyone else is testing the new Copilot for Faculty (M365) licenses now available for Education at $30/month. We were using them with no issue for a few weeks but started to get a licensing error in MS Teams last Friday. However, Copilot works fine in the Office apps and on the ...

Hi all, We have a pretty recent switch over to AVD at Chapman University for virtual lab usage and thin clients in common areas, and so far are big fans. Ultimately, it's hard to beat the value of you already have A3 or A5 site licensing, as all of your students already have the necessary licenses ...

RE: Google vs M365 Comparison

I'll add 2c to this discussion – In my opinion - the full security ecosystem in M365 seems to be significantly more robust than what Google offers, which is why (in my unscientific assessment) that more institutions appear to certify OneDrive over Google Drive for sensitive data. If your security ...

RE: Reports of potential Google Drive data loss - Drive reset to May 2023

Although there is one comment to the contrary in one of the threads - the general gist of what I am reading seems to indicate that some users may have files not syncing via the drive client and were unaware for extended periods (months) , and a recent update caused these unsynced files to disappear. ...

RE: MS365 Copilot - any idea about EDU pricing?

Found In Egroup: Microsoft Tools in Education \ view thread
That's interesting - so it was confirmed that we can buy commercial licensing? Usually our tenants are simply restricted from new features, but in this case it sounds like they just don't want to offer the discounts out of the gate. The minimum quantity is disappointing. I wonder if a trial will be ...

RE: Remove old OneDrive sites from M365

There is also a retention setting for OneDrive sites post account deletion. It would be interesting if those deleted sites also didn't count towards the storage limit. Ours is set to two years. (!) Certainly makes it easier than what we have to do with Google. -- Phillip Lyle (he/his) Information ...

Technology Infrastructures meeting during EDUCAUSE

Hello everyone, I am sharing an invitation regarding a pre-conference meeting of several network infrastructure EDUCAUSE community groups on Monday, October 9th from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM CT. Due to some logistical issues, the meeting was moved offsite to DePaul University, and thus registration and ...

RE: Third-party backup for Google Drive?

I believe (but someone can correct me if I'm wrong) that shared files still are accessible when the account is suspended. We've seen a number of students who share their institutional files with their personal account, so they don't notice the suspension until you actually delete the full account ...

RE: Microsoft requiring Authenticator App for MFA

I am not convinced it will ever go away in full. Perhaps voice calls. The prevalent issues today (convincing someone to give up your code, man-in-the-middle) are with both Authenticator and SMS. However, the more you can get on Authenticator, the better. -- Phillip Lyle (he/his) Associate ...

I don't think Microsoft is deprecating SMS and voice. You can turn off the forced authenticator enrollment in your tenant. The question on how to deal with the pushback on app usage is still real though. We have tried to avoid hardware key issuance, but it might be inevitable. -- Phillip Lyle ...

RE: Password Reset Portal

Yes, you can self service reset your forgotten password on the Azure single sign on page, or you can put in a redirect to it (e.g. forgotpassword.yourdomain.edu). They simple use two MFA methods, such as Authenticator, personal email, sms text message, or phone call, to perform the reset. We also send ...

From what I can tell – Microsoft's Bing Chat Enterprise is the only currently available generative solution from a major provider with guarantees around data privacy and security (although we haven't reviewed it yet ourselves). I don't think OpenAI for Business is out yet. Unfortunately, Microsoft ...

RE: Managing SharePoint Storage

Found In Egroup: Microsoft Tools in Education \ view thread
Sadly, I don't think so. If we uncheck the box to prevent users from creating SharePoint sites, then yes, only admins can make sites, but that doesn't affect Teams, Groups, or the other product lines. Similarly, for Project I think it would have to be a Project-specific setting to not create the associated ...

Good point, Ian. Microsoft has used SharePoint as the back end for almost all of their products – Microsoft Lists Microsoft M365 Groups Microsoft Teams (additional sharepoint sites for every private channel) Microsoft Project Microsoft Bookings Microsoft Planner And probably a dozen others ...

I doubt this is possible today in Microsoft. I am impressed that you pulled it off with Google! �� Still formulating this in my head, but we'll either disable new sharepoint/teams creation for students entirely, or simply make the quota small (e.g. 5GB). The other feature that most will want ...

Good call on the archive mailboxes – I want to clarify that point with them, as I was told that eDiscovery and on-hold mailboxes didn't count. If Archive mailboxes are indeed excluded, then we may be looking at a broad rollout of this feature to everyone, even when they aren't close to the 50/100GB cap. ...

In my opinion, institutions would be better served making the AI tools available so that usage can be tracked, and that manual accounts are minimized. Those who want ChatGPT or Bard will use it, so might was well prefer an institutional identity versus them making a non-Sso account. You could go the ...
