Microsoft 365 The Absolute Beginner's Guide for Admins
This time it’s my absolute beginner’s guide for Admins in Microsoft 365. Here I’ll walk you through everything you need to know to get you started. From ensuring you’re on the right plan. To Creating and licensing users and managing groups. In addition I’ll discuss RBAC or Role based Admin Control, and I’ll even mention migration solutions for Microsoft 365. So if you’re looking to get started with Microsoft technologies or fancy taking an exam like MS-900 then this is a session packed with goodies. Of course if you want to go even further with individual topic then check out my playlists which will help you go deeper.

Thanks so much Andy! I really wish I met you years back on KZread, it would have made a lot of difference in my journey as a MS Cloud admin. Kindly make more videos on MS 365 from this beginners' stage to advance, if that works for you Once again, thank you for sharing your immense knowledge with us!
Really helpful to get a refresher on what is available in MS365 without having access to it. Found this really useful to kick the old noodle into gear about what you can do in the different admin centres
Glad I came across your channel. You made it sound very simple. Thank you!

Also very beneficial to learn the concept of the tools as well. Congrats. I'm looking forward to watch the next videos.

Loved the description of 3 distinct eras; from IT's "industrial revolution", to mobile, and now cloud. Next steps is also coming. I see something along this; devices will not disappear, but they will morph into more embedded forms. Also fixed ambient IT will be more prevalent, in buildings etc. The fourth era will definitely be interesting to see.

As a recent absolute beginner, finding my way around the portals wasn't too much of an issue. However, trying to decipher which licenses were required so that I could predict costs and work up a budget was far more frustrating. It's all very easy when you already have lots of licenses available.

Great content as always, thank you. I'd love to see your thoughts on best practices and considerations around securing M365, ie: an Ultimate Guid to Securing an M365 Environment. For me, the out of the box M365 sharing/collaboration settings are too relaxed and many new customers don't realise what standard users can do by default (ie: create Teams, Sharepoint sites, invite guests, share data externally, etc etc) until its too late. They then have the headache of undoing all this and adjusting global settings in a live environment.

@@Lucareztiger Hmmm okay.. Firstly you won't be able to add them in directly into Exchange as they are external to your organisation. I would export a list of users in Azure to a CSV file. Then you could import them as contacts into Exchange on-prem. Other things to check inc transport rules and filters to ensure nothing is blocked. As I said the best place to post questions like this is the Microsoft tech Community as they will have MVPs who specialise in this area. I wish you good lucj :-) Andy

Is their a group police I can create too make mapping easier and contingent on the group(s) they belong too? The second is re-enabling the usb drive on certain devices? Thank you in advance

Hi, great videos on apps I didn't know existed. I just bought a new laptop and migrating everything over. I have been paying for a family 365 account for years and only using it for my outlook, so wasted a lot of money. Im trying to search and figure out what plan I should be on and expected a simple side by side comparison chart on the Microsoft site but could not find anything, then I called and wasted an hour, eventually the representative found a page that was not easily forwarded and is going to try and write out long hand the difference between the family account and the business account. She said she can only help with the business account, the family is a different department. Why so hard? So my question here, can you do a video explaining / comparing plans? Or maybe just a link to a page that shows the up to date Apps available? Also copilot is a subscription, but is on the Edge/Bing homepage. Is it the same Copilot? Thanks.

Regarding making an 0365 Public/Private - what exactly does that mean? Does Public mean that users with a different O365 tenant can join your 0365 group?

Public essentially means that anyone in your company can browse a public group and access resources, whereas private groups can only be accessed by specifically assigned members
