In the previous post, we saw how it looks like and what happens when a malicious files are detected in a SharePoint Library and OneDrive.

In this post, we will walk through turning ATP on for SharePoint, OneDrive and Teams.

1- Go to Security Admin Center, under Thread Management, click on Policy,

2- Start by clicking Create to create a new policy.

3- Follow the steps for the policy, in the settings, choose to block all,

4- Once the policy created, select it and select Global settings;

5- By default, the policy will have ATP turned on for SharePoint, OneDrive and Teams.

People regularly share files and collaborate using SharePoint, OneDrive, and Microsoft Teams. With Office 365 Advanced Threat Protection (ATP), your organization can collaborate in a safer manner. ATP helps detect and block files that are identified as malicious in team sites and document libraries.

How Office 365 ATP operates

When a file in SharePoint Online, OneDrive for Business, and Microsoft Teams has been identified as malicious, ATP directly integrates with the file stores to lock that file. The following image shows an example of a malicious file detected in a library.

Although the blocked file is still listed in the document library and web, mobile, or desktop applications, the blocked file cannot be opened, copied, moved, or shared. People can, however, delete a blocked file. Here’s an example of what that looks like on a user’s mobile device:

Depending on how Microsoft 365 is configured, people might or might not have the ability to download a blocked file. Here’s what downloading a blocked file looks like on a user’s mobile device:

If you are losing your connection during screen sharing.

Or Microsoft Teams Client crashes and restarts automatically.

You will need to view the Microsoft Teams debug logs to troubleshoot the issues. Or if you are the End User, this is how to get the logs to send to your Support Engineers to troubleshoot..

Open Microsoft Teams, and on your keyboard, select Ctrl+Alt+Shift+1

You will see these files in your downloads folder;

In another post, I will walk you through each log file and how to read it .. Stay tuned.

In a Live Event, with thousands of attendees, joining and leaving … if we keep this option “On” .. “Announce when callers join or leave”, it will be difficult to hear the presenter.

Here is how to disable it without going to Microsoft Teams Admin Center; in the meeting click, Meeting options; and besides “Announce when callers join or leave”; mark it as “No”.

The previous post, I showed you how to get an excel file with the list of attendees.. here I want to talk to you about the values of this excel file..

Basically, I was testing with my husband 🙂

The column header called “Action” has the status whether;

• Joined,
• Left
• Reconnected
• …..

Where you can filter this excel file and have an understanding of how people are participating all the time in the event.

So I like to be straight to the point… Open Teams, on the left, click Calendar, choose the live event, click it..

You will see a section called “Live Event Resources” where you can download the recording and the attendees engagement report. and Voila!

The date is: 13 of October 2020 .. so a year from now I’d say.

Please check Microsoft Product Cycle from this link, Here

And you can search for whatever Microsoft Products to see the end supported date.

Note that If you still have SharePoint 2010 Farm, start planning for Migration and honestly speaking just go to SharePoint 2019. and use the new Modern Experience; in which I will write about in a new post.

Unfortunately no direct migration, you still have to go to SP2013 then 2016 and finally 2019.

You will see Servers for each farm, you can use Azure VMs temp for migration that will help you to reduce Servers cost unless you have the resources on-premises.

Also I will write how to plan for your migration.

Hope that helps.
