M365 Application Workloads

Prepared by: Mitchell Crowther

Objective So far, you have created an M365 tenant, implemented identity, and configured the authentication process for KCoder. Part of the job of being an M365 admin is to control which software such as Microsoft Office 365 can be downloaded and installed by users in your organizations. As part of the collaboration requirements for KCoder, you will manage and configure how Microsoft Office 365 is licensed, deployed, and configured in your tenant as part of this deliverable.

Part 1: Add Michael Pattison to the Domain Admins Group The recommended format is to provide screenshots incorporated within the written narrative. No external sources are required for this phase of the project; however, the screenshots must be your own. Screenshots from external sources are not permitted. 1. Step 1 – Show Michael Pattison as part of the Domain Admins Group (showing the current date from the taskbar)

2. Step 2 – Show the account properties of Michael Pattison account (showing the current date from the taskbar)

Part 2: Configure Global Office Download Options The recommended format is to provide screenshots incorporated within the written narrative. No external sources are required for this phase of the project; however, the screenshots must be your own. Screenshots from external sources are not permitted. 1. Step 1 – Office installation options – Monthly Enterprise Channel (showing the current date from the taskbar)

Part 3: Assign Microsoft Office License to a User The recommended format is to provide screenshots incorporated within the written narrative. No external sources are required for this phase of the project; however, the screenshots must be your own. Screenshots from external sources are not permitted. 1. Step 1 – License Assignment to Michael Pattison

Part 4: Assign Microsoft Office License to a User The recommended format is to provide screenshots incorporated within the written narrative. No external sources are required for this phase of the project; however, the screenshots must be your own. Screenshots from external sources are not permitted. 1. Step 1 – Word Account Licensed User

Below is my issue with the VM on not allowing office.com to load. I was able to access Office 365 from my host machine as seen above. I am able to ping 8.8.8.8 as well as the website. All other websites work normally.

Part 5: Bulk User License Assignment The Opportunity: Future Proof ·

KCoder is expected to grow at a higher rate and need to future proof their license assignment. Research and write a few paragraphs on how you can accomplish license assignment to users as they are synced to Azure Active Directory.

The first step to accomplish license assignment is to decide on the license plan that best suits your company. Azure Active Directory offers three different license assignment plans: Azure AD Free, Azure AD Premium P1, and Azure AD Premium P2. Once you have decided on the recommended license assignment plan then you will need to assign all employees into separate groups depending on the licenses that will be required for each employee. This method will allow the system administrator to assign licenses in bulk to employees and ensure that all employees have the correct licenses in order to effectively and efficiently accomplish daily tasks. When new users are synched to the Active Directory it is important to ensure that they are assigned to the correct groups to ensure that the license assignment is correct. Using this method will also allow system administrators to remove licenses to employees or are no longer with the company or transfer licenses as necessary for employees. Group-Based licensing is a much more efficient and effective method to manage Active Directory licenses especially for large number of people. This can prevent any unnecessary license assignment to employees who don’t need it as well as ensure that all employees have the correct licenses as necessary. It is also incredibly easy to add or remove members from groups as necessary.
