[Post] Using OCS and Lync Together

Ok so you have signed for Office 365 and would like to use Lync on your work laptop, but your company has not moved to Lync OR you have Lync for work but cannot add people outside of your organization and you would like to use your personal Lync, then what options do you have? This is part of my Office 365 blog post series
No worries, you can have OCS/Lync or Lync/Lync work in tandem.

[Post] Migrating from BPOS Mailbox to Office 365
What a pain! (Kind of, till I found out why the pain and how to work around that)
I was using Microsoft BPOS since last couple of months for some of my active domains with limited users and last month, I planned to move them over to Office 365.
Microsoft have a BPOS to Office 365 transition web site, which is pretty useless. Useless since it does not have any tools or guidance that I could use to make a smooth transition.

[Post] PowerShell Script To Change Managed Account Password

Of all days in the week, on Sunday [August 21, 2011] I decided to tease my SharePoint 2010 development environment! I decided to change all the SharePoint 2010 Service Account(s)password.
Thank you Microsoft for introducing the managed accounts, else I would be clicking away for a long time, having to go through each application pool to change the password (map this scenario to MOSS 2007 or WSSv3).

[Post] Why Office 365?
Why not? To continue on our series on Office 365 and then you can decide if you want to move to Office 365 or not.
In the previous post, we introduced the concept of the 'in the cloud' offering from Microsoft namely Office 365 and what is the offering under the banner of Office 365.
The next question that may pop is "Why Office 365?"
In my opinion, there is no competition for Office 365. Simply nothing.
