Microsoft support phone number announced a bunch of tooling updates this week for organizations using Office 365 and Azure solutions.
Organizations are getting templates to more easily set up Office 365 end users. There's a new tool for checking Office 365 ProPlus security practices. There's an updated tool for optimizing SharePoint Online pages. Additionally, PowerShell 7 preview version 4 was released.
Microsoft support phone number also released an open-source font for Windows Terminal. In addition, various Azure Portal updates are available this month.
The new templates simplify matters for IT pros because the same settings can be used for certain groups of end-users within an organization, which get encapsulated in the template. Office 365 tenancies will start getting access to the templates this month, but the feature will be available more broadly "over the next few months," Microsoft indicated.
Back then, Microsoft helpline number had explained that the Security Policy Advisor helps IT pros sort through Microsoft's security baseline recommendations for Office 365 ProPlus clients. It'll offer suggestions on the security policies to use. It also has a dashboard showing how existing security policies are affecting users.
Security Policy Advisor is accessed through a portal used to configure Office 365 ProPlus settings. It has a dependency on using the Office Cloud Policy Service for Office 365 ProPlus, which further requires having Azure Active Directory synchronization.
The "general availability" commercial release of PowerShell 7 is expected to occur sometime in "January 2020," Microsoft indicated. A release candidate version will appear before that date, perhaps in "December 2019."
This coming PowerShell 7 release will be a so-called "long-term servicing" release, but it'll follow Microsoft's Modern Lifecycle Support policy. What that likely means (based on Microsoft's description for PowerShell 6.x) is that PowerShell 7 users will need to update the product within six months when minor upgrades get released by Microsoft, and they'll need to apply the latest patches within 30 days, too. Future updates stop arriving if the upgrading and patching don't keep pace with those cycles.
Microsoft support phone number also indicated that it plans to eventually release PowerShell 7 through the Windows Store. It'll get published via an MSIX package, Microsoft support phone number newest software packaging approach. PowerShell 7 preview 4 currently supports the MSIX format.
New features in PowerShell 7 preview 4 include a ternary conditional operator for Boolean expressions and a Start-Job cmdlet, which can be used to "specify the working directory of the new job process before your script block runs." Microsoft also added some Desired State Configuration (DSC) improvements and released a new DSC Resource Kit, which includes 15 DSC PowerShell modules. Organizations typically might use DSC to declare optimal configuration states for their servers, as accessed via the push or pull method.
PowerShell 7 is getting built on .NET Core 3.0. It's conceived as being a replacement for both Windows PowerShell 5.1 and the various PowerShell 6.x scripting solution products.
