Introduction
The timely saying that you should "Plan your work and work your plan" is especially relevant when implementing Microsoft 365. Once you've finished planning your Microsoft 365 tenant experience, it's then time to configure that experience. For Microsoft 365, the configuration process includes:
- Setting up your organizational profile
- Managing your tenant subscriptions
- Managing your services and add-ins
- Completing your tenant configuration
This module examines each of these tasks, which you must complete to successfully configure your Microsoft 365 experience. After completing this module, you should be able to configure your company’s organization profile, which is essential for setting up for your company’s tenant. You also learn how to maintain minimum subscription requirements for your company. This process includes managing your services and add-ins by assigning more licenses, purchasing more storage, and so on.
The module also explores several organization-level settings that companies should consider implementing. The first are SharePoint Online and OneDrive settings that control how these services control external sharing. External sharing enables your users to share content with people outside the organization, such as partners, vendors, clients, or customers. You can configure these settings to provide the level of control that your organization requires. You can also configure tenant-level setting to control how your users can conduct meetings in Microsoft Teams. And lastly, you can enable Unified Audit Logging if your organization wants to monitor and investigate security incidents, compliance violations, and operational issues. You can also generate audit reports and alerts based on specific events or criteria.
Finally, to help you plan your work and work your plan, you learn how to create a checklist that enables you to confirm your Microsoft 365 tenant meets your business needs.
