Even if the Yammer Group was created first... So yeah, don't delete O365 Groups unless you want everything gone. If you need to recover: ##Do this off Network with regular powershell opened as Administrator Import-Module AzureADPreview Connect-AzureAD Get-AzureADMSDeletedGroup | Out-GridView Restore-AzureADMSDeletedDirectoryObject –Id xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Get-AzureADGroup –ObjectId xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Update - 08/12/2017 Microsoft are rolling this restore functionality into Exchange Online over the next month or two, so you wont need the script above soon:

How Using Powershell 3.0 or later, and SharePoint Online Powershell Module.  Open up the SharePoint Online Powershell Module and paste the following code (after updating the variables at the top for your site and admin details): # SharePoint Online - Retrieve the Permission Mask Values for a Site using Powershell # Specifies variable $AdminURI = "https://company-admin.sharepoint.com" $RootSiteCollection="https://company.sharepoint.co...

This article stems from another article explaining how to  Automate Site & Group Creation with Nintex Workflow 2010 What Use Powershell to retrieve detailed data about the permission levels on a particular site Why I was looking for a way to automate Site & Group creation using nintex workflows.  In order to create groups, you need to call a SharePoint Web Service.  That Web Service requires an input value called 'permissionMask (int)'. This powershell script will allow you to find the correct permission Mask related to your particular environment & permission levels. How Jump onto your WFE, open up SharePoint Powershell as admin and paste in the following code (with the site you wish to retrieve data for: ## Get site permissions using SharePoint 2010 web service in powershell $uri=" http://rootsite/subsite /_vti_bin/Permissions.asmx?wsdl"  ## $siteName is a string which contains the site name for which you need to get the permissions [St...

What I've begun setting up the governance model for SharePoint Online and was working out the best way to ensure when I give someone SharePoint Administration Access that they automatically have full access to administer every Site Collection. My method is to use the 'SharePoint Service Administrator' Group.  This is the group that you are added to when your O365 User Account is assigned the 'SharePoint Administrator' Role. Why My reasoning is that way when a staff member joins the team you only need to get them added to one spot and they are good to get on with the work. Problem Occasionally you will want to check that the right staff have access.  How do you report on who is a member of that group!?  I searched high and low to no avail.  When that fails, there's only one choice...  Powershell. Here's the script you need to run in order to bring back a list of every user that has been given SharePoint Adminstrator Access: #Connection to Off...

This will remove versioning from the list you specify & update every item so that the old versions are deleted. Great for really large lists/libraries that don't require versioning when you want to free up some space. $web = get-spweb "http://root/site" $list = $web.Lists["List Name"] $list.EnableVersioning = $false $list.Update() foreach($item in $list.Items) { $item.URL; $item.SystemUpdate(); }

Hi again, introduction to this issue:  Someone has updated information on their MySite but their details have not propagated through to the People Picker, or any list that shows User Information in it. Why:  This is due to the User Information List , which is used to supply User Information to all the SharePoint functions that use it.  The User Information List only seems to get updated when a user is first introduced to a Site Collection.  Not even a full Profile Sync will fix it. (You can find the User Information List here: http://[rootsite]/_layouts/people.aspx?MembershipGroupId=0).  This issue has been documented before and done very nicely on Gary's blog here:  http://blog.falchionconsulting.com/index.php/2011/12/updating-sharepoint-2010-user-information/ The difference is between Gary's blog post and mine, is that his shows how to get a script to iterate through every Web Application and update specific fields.  Where as I will be sh...
