SharePoint Server includes several content recovery options for SharePoint administrators, site collection administrators, and end users. Educating your users, and site collections and lighten the burden on your SharePoint farm administrators. Using Central Administration or PowerShell you can backup and restore your entire farm or components of your farm. You can also perform more granular content backups by exporting site collections, site, libraries, and list. SharePoint also provides the option of recovering site collections, sites, list and libraries from content databases that are no longer part of the SharePoint farm. With a vast majority of your SharePoint content stored in SQL Server it is imperative that you have an efficient way to recover items or entire databases as quickly as possible. This discussion will introduce the Best Practices framework that will allow your SharePoint administrator to configure SharePoint and SQL Server for quick content recovery minimizing the downtime and providing shorter yet achievable Service Level Agreements (SLA’s).

COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL—SUBJECT TO NDA C000000-0616 15
Put your plans in motion – build teams, share goals, and track progress

16. Planner Hub

• Plan Roll-Up
• My Tasks Aggregation
• The Planner Board
COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL—SUBJECT TO NDA C000000-0616 16

17. What’s in a plan?
As each plan is created, it is also set up as an Office 365 group and includes:
• A SharePoint Online document
library, set up with appropriate
permissions.
• A group mailbox for email
and conversations.
• A group calendar.
COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL—SUBJECT TO NDA C000000-0616 17

18. Planner Board
• Organize and divvy up plan tasks
using the board.
• You can set start dates and due
dates, set progress status, and
assign people to tasks.
• You can also keep track of
working groups for virtual teams,
feature crews, ship goals, and
action items.
COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL—SUBJECT TO NDA C000000-0616 18

19. Get Granular with Plans
• Determine goals and overall plan start and due date.
• Define and order tasks with start and due dates.
• Decide who should work on those tasks.
• Check the availability of those people for the tasks.
• Gather or create the documents you will need to share with your team.
COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL—SUBJECT TO NDA C000000-0616 19

20. When you are done with a plan…
• When you delete a plan, you also delete its group and its conversations, its document
library, notebook, and other related information.
• If you really do want to delete your plan, consider creating an archive of your work by
copying the dashboard status and the text of conversations, and saving any related
documents – or whatever practices work best for you.

23. Power of the Shell http://bit.ly/25BhNiQ
• A group admin can also disable group creation by using Windows PowerShell to update the mailbox policy and remove
the ability to create groups. Because OWA policies are per user, you can even limit the ability to create groups for
some users and not others.
COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL—SUBJECT TO NDA C000000-0616 23
Cmdlet name Description
Get-UnifiedGroup
Use this cmdlet to look up existing Office 365 groups, and to view properties of the group
object.
Set-UnifiedGroup Update the properties of a specific Office 365 group.
New-UnifiedGroup
Create a new Office 365 group. This cmdlet provides a minimal set of parameters, for
setting values for extended properties use Set-UnifiedGroup after creating the new group.
Remove-UnifiedGroup Delete an existing Office 365 group.
Get-UnifiedGroupLinks Retrieve membership and owner information for an Office 365 group.
Add-UnifiedGroupLinks Add members and owners to an existing Office 365 group.

24. Compliance and Protection
• eDiscovery and litigation hold—You can now perform an eDiscovery and litigation hold
on a group’s mailbox using Exchange Admin Center and on group files using the Office
365 Compliance Center.
• Auditing—The Azure Management Portal now exposes group management events
(creation, updates, membership changes, etc.) in the group audit report.
COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL—SUBJECT TO NDA C000000-0616 24

25. Directory Management
• Naming policies for Office 365 Group
names and aliases—Group naming policies
allow users to self-organize, but enables
control over the way that these groups appear
in the corporate directory.
• Now a naming policy also applies to the email
alias created for groups.
• For example, if a group naming policy would
cause a group created with the name “(North
America) Marketing,” the group’s email
address would be
“northamericamarketing@contoso.com.” This
prevents groups from inadvertently taking
valuable email addresses.
COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL—SUBJECT TO NDA C000000-0616 25

26. *New* Directory Management
• Dynamic membership—Administrators can
now create groups with rule-based
memberships using the Azure Management
Portal.
• Group membership is usually updated within
minutes as users’ properties change.
• This allows easy management of larger
groups or the creation of groups that always
reflect the organization’s structure.
• Note, enabling dynamic membership for
groups requires Azure AD Premium
licenses.
COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL—SUBJECT TO NDA C000000-0616 26

27. Resources for O365 Groups
• Documentation “How-to”
• Office 365 Roadmap
• February 2016 Groups Update
COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL—SUBJECT TO NDA C000000-0616 27

28. 2016 Updates
• Group expiry—To support administrators’ desires to keep their directories clear of stale
or inactive content, we’re working on a policy that would expire inactive groups over a
definable period of time.
• Hidden membership—It will soon be possible to indicate that the group member list
should be hidden from non-members. This is especially useful in schools where class
rosters can’t be exposed to other students or faculty in the school.
• Mobile application management—To protect users’ data on the go, we’re working on
exposing the Outlook Groups apps in Microsoft Intune as policy managed apps.
• Usage guidelines—Over the next few months, you’ll be able to customize the usage
guidelines for Office 365 Groups to educate your users about best practices that help
keep their groups effective and their content safe.
COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL—SUBJECT TO NDA C000000-0616 28

29. 2016 Updates
• Dynamic membership (Preview)—You can now create groups with rule-based
memberships using the Azure Management Portal.
• File quota management—You now have the ability to set quotas on Groups’ underlying
SharePoint sites to help manage the consumption of shared storage of the Office 365
Groups’ files.
• Allow users to send email using the Office 365 group name—Members of an Office 365
Group can use Outlook or Outlook on the web to send and reply to email using the Office
365 group name.
• Multi-domain support for Office 365 Groups (rolling out)—You can specify the domain to
be used when people in your organization create Office 365 Groups.
COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL—SUBJECT TO NDA C000000-0616 29

30. 2016 Updates
Allow users to send as the Office 365 group—If you want to enable your group’s shared
mailbox to “Send As,” you can now use the PowerShell cmdlets to configure this. Once you
enable this setting, your Office 365 group users can use Outlook or Outlook on the web to
send and reply to email as the Office 365 group. Users can go to the group, create a new
email and change the “Send As” field to the group’s email address. See “Use PowerShell to
manage Office 365 Groups” for more information.
Configure Office 365 Groups with on-premises Exchange hybrid
If you've configured a hybrid deployment between your on-premises Exchange organization
and Office 365, you can now make groups created in Office 365 available to your on-
premises users.
COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL—SUBJECT TO NDA C000000-0616 30

31. Improvements to Outlook 2016 / Groups
• Microsoft added a new Groups section
to the ribbon with easy entry points to
browse and join Office 365 Groups.
• Suggested Groups offer one-click
access to relevant Groups you might like
to join, personalized based on
information in the Office Graph.
• You can also create new Groups from
the ribbon.
