As you’ve read,   the new Office is here   and for developers, this is an exciting time! The ability to insert add-ins into your documents, call new Office.js APIS, launch task panes inside your Office clients and run commands directly from the ribbon increases the productivity of your entire team! Add-ins now work across Office 2016 running on Windows, Office Online in your browser, Office 2016 on the Mac (Outlook currently) and Office on the iPad. Office 2016 on Windows introduces some new extensibility features that will roll out over the other Office clients over time. Add-in commands Add-in commands provide ways to initiate specific add-in actions from the ribbon. This lets users access add-ins in a simple, intuitive and unobtrusive way. Because they offer increased functionality in a seamless manner, add-in commands allow developers to create more engaging scenarios and add-ins. Add-in commands are declared in the add-in manifest in a new node called VersionOverride

SharePoint 2013 Permission Report: Check Access Rights for a Specific User I’m pretty sure that by now many of the SharePoint SME’s out there would have tried the  “Check access rights script for a specific user”  . Now if you’re new to this , please take a look at the link below to understand what this script is all about .It’s a very powerful tool with some limitations.  I happened to work with this script recently and listed below is my experience with this script . https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/SharePoint-Permission-2840f327 It doesn’t get really granular and looks for all the bits and pieces and retrieve the complete information we are looking for .For instance it can’t get the permission assigned on a list item and its just stops at the list level .In addition to that it doesn’t look for the security groups too.  The script takes atleast not less than 30 mins to 1 hour to run depending upon the size of the FARM and the contents it has as it has to

Hi, On my laptop, I recently upgraded from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10. Right after the upgrade was over, I found that, the Device Driver came up only as Microsoft Basic Display Adapter and I was unable to do anything with the brightness (it was full and you could imagine how it would have hurt the eyes). Obviously, I also could not connect to the projector because of the display driver. I searched in the OEM's site (Sony Vaio in my case) and it said, the drivers for Windows 10 are all going to be available only by Nov 2015! Wow - I can't wait till then - right? I decided to downgrade to Windows 8.1! Then came to rescue was http://www.drivermax.com/! I downloaded this, ran a scan and it identified and showed that - there is a latest version of Microsoft Basic Display Driver that is available! I installed the same and bingo - I had the brightness controlled and also the projector started working! Infact, drivermax tool showed that there were 18 drivers that were out

We can access the Application page in SharePoint anonymous site. If we do the following changes in the Application page, SharePoint won’t ask for any credentials. ·          By default, the page is inherited from LayoutsPageBase. Change the inheritance from “ LayoutsPageBase ” to “ UnsecuredLayoutsPageBase ”. ·          Next, we need to override a property of the UnsecuredLayoutsPageBase, to allow the anonymous access. Be sure to change the ‘getter’ to return true protected override bool AllowAnonymousAccess { get { return true; } } Example : Reference: http://www.concurrency.com/sharepoint/allow-anonymous-access-to-sharepoint-application-pages-in-the-_layouts-directory/

Yammer’s direction from Microsoft is always a question and there is constant discussions on whether this will be merged with Office 365 Groups or even just terminated. But it does not look like that - with the way things are going and this is a brief that provides input on the same! Also, with respect to the future of Yammer, if you look at http://roadmap.office.com/ there are different categories of features provided. This is a definitive site that is updated by Microsoft and will clearly give us the future of how O365 is moving. Launched, Rolling Out, In Development, Cancelled are the different categories under which the features are mentioned. If you look at Yammer Specific Updates, I found the below: There are quite a set of interesting features currently available (with wearable devices support and better support for iOS / Android) and there are set of interesting features coming up. So I think Microsoft’s investments into Yammer do not look like coming down. Keep

http://www.slideshare.net/skarthick/allowing-access-from-multiple-office-365-tenants-into-a-single-tenant There are cases where you have a group company and you have many companies in your group. Each of the companies might have their own Office 365 Subscription. This presentation explains this scenario and also provides steps to enable and configure in a way that group company users can login with their own AD / O365 credentials and collaborate with the group company's O365 - SharePoint Online Portal. The same approach can also work when you want to share some content with your customers or partners who have their own O365 tenants.
