New Office 365 ProPlus deployment guide for IT pros now available

The Office 365 ProPlus deployment team has been working hard to give IT pros the tools they need to successfully deploy Office 365 ProPlus in various scenarios. We recently released a new guide focused on making your organization’s ProPlus deployment a success.

The Preferred Practices for Office 365 ProPlus Deployment guide was created for IT pros by a team of Office 365 deployment experts. The guide is available for download in the Office 365 onboarding resources at fasttrack.microsoft.com and features actionable guidance and real-world scenarios, including:
  • Recommended guidance for discovery of applications.
  • Preferred deployment scenarios and practices.
  • Recommended approaches for channel management.
  • Reporting capabilities for licensing and usage.

The Preferred Practices guide walks you through the phases of deployment.
Here’s a sneak peek at each phase, and what you can expect to find in the respective section of the guide:
Assess—Deploying Office 365 ProPlus requires planning—just like any other large-scale Office client deployment. Learn about key infrastructure components and app compatibility discovery processes, as well as tools to help you understand the scope and remediation needs of Office 365 ProPlus.

Plan—Planning is a key component of your migration to Office 365 ProPlus. Consider several items when creating your deployment plan to understand constraints and meet the goals of the project.

Deploy—Learn more about the three deployment options—Enterprise Managed, Locally Managed and Cloud Managed—available for delivering Office 365 ProPlus to your users’ devices.

Manage—We’re continuously improving Office 365 ProPlus. We’ll walk you through how to handle managed and unmanaged deployment scenarios, patching and channel updates and ongoing management and maintenance.

We’ll continue to update this guide as new features and deployment capabilities are released by Microsoft. And we’ll also collect feedback from customers, partners and Microsoft deployment experts to continually refine these practices, so please reach out to us with any thoughts.

Deferred Channel build now available for the Office 365 client apps

Enhanced admin settings for User Software Page

Starting today, IT admins also have the ability to further customize the User Software page. Admins now have the option to select the Office version and update channel (for 2016 apps only) a user can see and download directly from the Office 365 User Software Page. The changes IT admins make on the Admin Center will go into effect on February 23, 2016, giving admins the opportunity to change the default update channel and decide which install links to expose to their users.

Download and deploy the Deferred Channel build today

We invite you all to download and start using the Deferred Channel builds within your organization and see for yourself how Office 2016 has helped millions of users become more productive than ever.
In addition to this very first Deferred Channel build, we’re also pleased to announce that we will release the next First Release for Deferred Channel build in the next few weeks. This will be a fully supported production quality build for testing, with a targeted release date as a standard build in the Deferred Channel in June 2016. We encourage you to validate this build against your environment, applications, add-ins and macros.

We recognize that deploying and validating Office updates has sometimes been time consuming for IT admins. We believe the enhancements we have made since the launch of Office 2016 will help reduce the overall validation process, making it quicker to get these builds into your users’ hands. We are not done yet; we are continuing to invest more in our deployment tools in order to further assist IT admins and developers to validate Office against their environment and line-of-business applications.

Outdated technology can cost SMBs a lot more than a slow boot up

In the past large enterprises had many advantages over small businesses when it came to using and benefitting from the latest IT tools and services.  But over the past decade the world has changed.  Today with the advent of cloud services like Office 365 and powerful new mobile devices, small businesses can benefit from the same technology as larger firms.

Take Office 365 as an example.  Small businesses can adopt enterprise-grade capabilities or even opt for a tailor made solution to meet the needs of their business, all at an affordable price point.  The benefits of these new services are significant for smaller enterprises that need to work smarter – using better collaboration and communication – but they also help improve customer acquisition and retention.  Consider the fact that 90% of consumers said they would take their business elsewhere if a small business was using outdated technology.

Needless to say, there is a lot to be gained from ditching outdated technology and upgrading to modern solutions like Office 365 or Office 2013. We’ve connected with small businesses around the world to see how they’re benefiting from modern technology, and here’s what we found.
  • FLO Wine founder and jazz musician Marcus Johnson tried using Google Apps to run his business while on tour, but the collaboration tools he needed were sorely lacking. Marcus took FLO Wine to the cloud with Office 365 and never looked back – by using shared calendars in Office 365, Marcus is able to maximize promotion activities by coordinating schedules with his music team. By streamlining calendaring, the company has acquired more than 5,000 consumers worth tens of thousands of dollars. Read more about FLO Wine here.
  • Steve Moore Chevrolet needed a tech makeover when IT manager Nick Portello started working there in 2012. Right when he started, one of the executives’ hard drives crashed and burned, and unfortunately took important company files along with it. To make matters worse, some of the company’s software licenses had lapsed, leaving them at risk for an audit and big fines from their software vendors. For this reason Nick decided to upgrade to Office 365, which is always up to date, ensuring that they never run into this problem again. With everything stored in the cloud, none of the executives will need to worry about losing company data in the future.
  • Wildlands Conservation Trust, an organization leading the charge for sustainable growth in South Africa, needed a way to keep employees connected from remote areas throughout the country. The home office has frequent power outages, so workers in outlying areas weren’t able to reliably access files. In fact, there would be hours when they wouldn’t be able to get any work done. Andrew Whitley, strategic manager for Wildlands, moved the organization to Office 365 so they would no longer lose time and money in the event of intermittent power outages and poor connectivity. Now teams across South Africa can always access their files and stay connected by leveraging the power of the cloud via Office 365 and mobile devices.
These are just a few of the thousands of SMBs who have adopted what modern technology has to offer. Rather than relying on aging hard drives, basic clip art and stationary workstations to make their companies shine, small business owners can now benefit from industry leading apps, automatic updates, standardized file formats, built in security, and cloud storage to optimize and run their businesses. And new technology doesn’t just mean working faster and better – it means increased revenue and customer satisfaction. According to a Boston Consulting Group (BCG) global study commissioned by Microsoft in 2013, if all small businesses across the globe upgraded to the latest technology, they could potentially boost their revenues by a combined $770 billion and create more than six million jobs.

Call Quality Methodology scorecard for Lync Server

A peek into the scorecard

Included in the Network Guide download is a powershell script (CQM.ps1) that automates the execution and collection of the SQL queries discussed in the Network Guide. When you point the scorecard at your data, it will generate a bunch of views so you can get a handle on the distribution of audio streams in your environment, which ones are showing a high percentage of poor streams and how they are trending over time. The scorecard view then presents all this in a summary table that correlates with the ten elements of CQM just as you see in the CQM poster. The areas are grouped by Red (Server Plant), Blue (Last Mile) and Green (Endpoints). A final area is classified as Unmanaged at the bottom which shows all external streams (media streams originating on the internet and coming into Lync via Edge servers).
First we’ll talk about the supporting views and then the Scorecard view to determine how to make improvements.

The Stream Distribution view shows you the types of audio streams used most in your environment, along with the proportion of those streams that are poor.
LyncCallQuality_01
The scorecard also breaks the poor streams out by type, so you can see the top contributors. Here’s an example of a chart in Poor Stream Distribution view:

LyncCallQuality_02
You can also look at trends for each type of stream. The image below, for example, shows a view of the trends for the Mediation to Gateway stream.

LyncCallQuality_03
These views show you where the hot spots are in your environment. The Scorecard view shows you what you can do with these hot spots across ten categories to improve your call quality.

The Scorecard view correlates with the ten elements of CQM and shown visually in the CQM poster. The areas are grouped by Red (Server Plant), Blue (Last Mile) and Green (Endpoints).

For example, here is the view of devices and their corresponding mean opinion scores (MOS) across an organization’s users:

LyncCallQuality_04
You can customize the thresholds for each element in the scorecard. If scorecard item is Red or Yellow, check the associated set of actions suggested in the last column. In this devices example, you should look in the TopIssues view to see the worst devices in your environment and then check the results of the utility query tab (Util_1_Users_Devices_Streams) to find all the users who have these devices so you can work with them to troubleshoot and potentially replace them.
In addition to listing the worst performing devices, the TopIssues view lists the top 10 problem areas across each of the remaining CQM categories. For example, here is a list of the top ten issues for an organization’s Mediation to Gateway streams:

Top 10 PoorStreamsRatio issues for Plant_2_Mediation_Gateway where AllStreams > 50

LyncCallQuality_05


In this example, you can see the 10.98.6.58 gateway is the common element across all of the Mediation Servers. Your next step here is to take a closer look at the gateway configuration and the network devices in common between the mediation servers and this gateway to figure out what could be causing the high percentage of poor streams.
