このポストは、2019 年 3 月 4 日に投稿された Service Fabric Processor in public preview の翻訳です。

マイクロソフトの Azure Event Hubs クライアントは、 2 つのレベルで抽象化されていました。1 つは低レベルのクライアントで、イベント送信クラスとイベント受信クラスがあります。これらはアプリケーション側で自由に制御できますが、Event Hubs の設定をアプリケーション側で理解し、常にそれぞれのパーティションに接続している必要があります。この上位のクライアントが高レベルのライブラリ、Event Processor Host です。このライブラリでは、受信側には詳細情報を渡しません。Event Processor Host は複数のホスト インスタンス間で自動的に Event Hubs パーティションの所有権を分配し、指定の処理にイベントを送信します。

Service Fabric は、マイクロソフト提供のもう1 つのライブラリです。アプリケーションを断片的に分割し、複数のノード間で分散させる、汎用のフレームワークです。多くのお客様がアプリケーションに Service Fabric を使っていますが、その中には Event Hubs からイベントを受信するものがあります。Service Fabric のアプリケーション内で Event Processor Host を使うこともできますが、エレガントとはいえず、冗長になります。この組み合わせは、ノード間での負荷分散が 2 つの階層で別々に実行され、お互いに認識されません。また、Event Processor Host のインスタンスのパーティションの所有権を Azure Storage によって調整するため、Azure Storage に負荷がかかります。

Service Fabric Processor は、Service Fabricと統合された新しいイベント処理ライブラリです。パーティション管理や信頼性の高いストレージ、より高度な負荷分散処理を Service Fabric の機能で行います。また、Event Processor Host でおなじみのシンプルなインターフェイスでプラグラミングできます。Service Fabric Processor の唯一の要件として、 Service Fabric アプリケーションが使う Event Hubs と同数のパーティションが必要です。これによって Event Hubs のパーティションからアプリケーションのパーティションに 1 on 1 でマッピングし、Service Fabric を効率的にロードすることができます。

Service Fabric Processor は現在プレビュー段階で、NuGet のMicrosoft.Azure.EventHubs.ServiceFabricProcessor (英語) ページで公開されています。ソース コードは GitHub の .NET Event Hubs クライアント リポジトリ (英語) で公開されています。また、サンプル アプリケーション (英語) も GitHub でご覧いただけます。

デベロッパーにとって、Service Fabric Processor でのアプリケーション作成には主に二段階の手順があります。まず、IEventProcessor インターフェイスを実装するクラスを作ります。パーティションの処理開始時に呼び出すメソッド (OpenAsync)、処理終了時に呼び出すメソッド (CloseAsync)、エラー発生時の通知処理メソッド (ProcessErrorAsync)、受信したイベントを処理するメソッド (ProcessEventsAsync) を指定します。最後のメソッドが、ほとんどのアプリケーションの中核、ビジネス ロジック実行部分です。

次に、アプリケーションの機能を実行する RunAsync メソッドにコードを追加して、Service Fabric と統合します。基本的な手順は、次のとおりです。

• EventProcessorOptions のインスタンスを作成し、必要なオプションを設定する。
• IEventProcessor を実装するインスタンスを作成する。このインスタンスは、このパーティションのイベント処理に使われる。
• ServiceFabricProcessor のインスタンスを作成し、オプションとプロセッサ オブジェクトをコンストラクターに渡す。
• ServiceFabricProcessor インスタンスで RunAsync を呼び出し、イベントの処理を開始する。

次のステップ

In my job I chat a lot with both school leaders and IT admins about how they can simplify the management of their devices, making it faster and easier for their end users (usually students, teachers and admin staff) to get started and complete the work they need to do on a device.

Unlike many corporate environments, schools have a very high number of “shared devices” in operation, where students of different year levels require access on the same device and, in some scenarios, even teachers need to log into the same device and access different apps and security settings. In the next two blog posts I’m going to go a bit deeper into how schools can approach this challenge with modern deployment practices, leveraging cloud identity in AzureAD, easier enrollment of devices using Microsoft Autopilot and finally a couple of tweaks for a faster user sign-in experience using Microsoft Intune as the Mobile Device Management (MDM) tool.

Overview:

As this blog post will be a little longer (and more technical) I’m going to give you a break down of what is to come so you can skip to the important sections relevant to you:

• Part One:
  • Identity – why use a cloud identity?
  • Why use AutoPilot?
  • Configuring Autopilot
  • Enrolling your device
• Part Two:
  • Intune vs Intune for Education
  • What are CSP?
  • Building a custom CSP Policy
  • Using LOB App Deployment in Intune

Now it’s worth stating at this stage that I am not an IT administrator by profession. Whilst I’m probably more technical than many, I’ve got the following working through a combination of relying on the detailed guides in the Microsoft Docs and awesome technical colleagues who have shared some of their expertise with me. Additionally, like you, I read a bunch of blogs to see how people have done this in the past. This blog is a small contribution to the community who like to learn from other’s experiences. If you’re reading this and are more technical than me and see some improvements or corrections in what I’ve done – I’d love to hear from you in the comments section below.

With that said, let’s get started!

Identity – why use a cloud identity?

It’s amazing how many conversations I’ve been having around cloud identities recently as school leaders are starting to understand they need to be able to simplify user access to key resources via Single Sign On (SSO), and open up both cloud/internet solutions as well as traditional on-premise hosted solutions. There are plenty of confusing diagrams out there trying to explain what this is about – the following is the simplest I could find:

Essentially, the above is showing two scenarios:

1. The user may sign into an “on-premise” identity platform (on the left), in this case Active Directory (still incredibly common in schools) which, through the use of a tool called AzureAD Connect can automatically sign into a cloud identity as well, in this case Azure Active Directory (AzureAD or even AAD).
2. Alternatively, the user may sign directly into a cloud service (on the right) using their AzureAD credentials. In fact, if their device is managed by the school, it may even be joined to AzureAD only.

Why does this matter? As an example, I was talking with a school recently where teachers were required to use up to four different usernames/passwords to access their key platforms such as signing into a computer, accessing their email, accessing their Student Management System (SMS) and accessing their cloud collaboration suite (Office365 in this case). Simplifying this through a single cloud identity saves time and frustration for everyone! It also improves security as people are more likely to choose a secure password if they only have one to remember.

Additionally, schools are increasingly wanting to sign into third party cloud apps with the same credentials – this blog post I wrote shows a school accessing eight different solutions with just their AzureAD identity.

The key point is: identity matters. If your school does not have a cloud identity of some sort, you’re going to be inherently limited in what you can do.

As the focus of this blog is primarily around AutoPilot, I’m not going to go deep into Identity – some useful background reading I would share is earlier blog posts I’ve written around:

• Creating Single Sign On (SSO) from AzureAD into Google Suite
• If your users only exist inside the Google Suite and you’re wanting to leverage Office365 / Minecraft:EE then completing a simpler “Similiar Sign On” may be worth exploring – the blog post for this is here.

For the purposes of this blog, if you’re wanting to use AutoPilot then your Office365 Tenant must have either the AzureAD P1 or P2 plans – see the differences here. With many schools opting for the M365 A3 Suite, this includes AzureAD P1:

Azure Active Directory Premium P1. In addition to the Free and Basic features, P1 also lets your hybrid users access both on-premises and cloud resources. It also supports advanced administration, such as dynamic groups, self-service group management, Microsoft Identity Manager (an on-premises identity and access management suite) and cloud write-back capabilities, which allow self-service password reset for your on-premises users.

To proceed with AutoPilot you need your users in AzureAD (and licensed with P1 or P2) so if you’ve not got that far, best to stop and sort before continuing on (if you want help with this, check out School Data Sync which can automatically add users from your Student Information System).

Why use AutoPilot?

It’s always a good question to ask, and before answering if you’re brand new to AutoPilot then it’s worth watching the video at the top of this blog post and then getting into the official AutoPilot Documentation here. If you’re coming from an Apple device management world and are familiar with the Device Enrollment Program (DEP) then the concepts of AutoPilot will be very familiar for you.

Windows Autopilot is a collection of technologies used to set up and pre-configure new devices, getting them ready for productive use. You can also use Windows Autopilot to reset, re-purpose and recover devices.
This solution enables an IT department to achieve the above with little to no infrastructure to manage, with a process that’s easy and simple.

Windows Autopilot is designed to simplify all parts of the life cycle of Windows devices, for both IT and end users, from initial deployment through the eventual end of life. Leveraging cloud-based services, it can reduce the overall costs for deploying, managing, and retiring devices by reducing the amount of time that IT needs to spend on these processes and the amount of infrastructure that they need to maintain, while ensuring ease of use for all types of end users.

Back to the why use it…..

• Devices become enrolled / locked to your organisation. If a user (authorised or not) resets the Win10 OS back to factory settings, as soon as it connects to the internet again it will register back to your organisation, making it largely useless to anyone if it was stolen.
• Speeds up and simplifies the Win10 setup process – you can optionally skip quite a few of the steps you normally need to undertake in Win10 e.g. requiring the user to agree to the EULA, choosing their privacy settings, configure whether the user will be an Administrator or a Standard user, and depending on deployment mode, can even skip keyboard preferences.
• Devices can be assigned to specific users, meaning when they turn it on for the first time, connect to the internet they’re greeted by name as part of their organisation.
• AutoPilot Reset allows an IT Admin to remotely reset the device, returning it to the original state, but keeping it joined to AzureAD and enrolled into Intune for management – think of this like a “spring clean” at the beginning of the school year or new Term.

In short, AutoPilot is designed to make your life easier!

Configuring Autopilot

For my demo and testing, I’m using an Acer B117 laptop, something that is available in the NZ Education Right Device Campaign, a low cost, low spec Win10 device with 4GB RAM and options around 64/128GB SSD storage. One of the beauties of AutoPilot is that supported OEM devices can send the unique Hardware Identifier (HWID) to the purchasing organisation / school in advance of receiving the devices, allowing for the configuration of the entire environment in advance of even receiving the hardware.

An obvious upside for this would be the ability to ‘drop ship’ devices to remote employees directly from purchase, without the need for IT Admins to even site the device.

In my case, I needed to manually extract the HWID from the Acer laptop, which can easily be accomplished with some basic PowerShell (run as local Administrator):

md c:\HWID Set-Location

c:\HWID Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted

Install-Script -Name Get-WindowsAutoPilotInfo

Get-WindowsAutoPilotInfo.ps1 -OutputFile AutoPilotHWID.csv

With the HWID obtained, the process to complete the configuration of AutoPilot is easily followed by these step by step instructions here, but largely consist of the following steps:

1. Add your devices (HWID) into Intune
2. Create an AutoPilot Device Group (tells Intune which devices in your organisation should be managed by AutoPilot). Note you can do both static and dynamic rules for adding devices here.
3. Create an AutoPilot Deployment Profile – this is the configuration settings you want to choose and allows you to skip a number of the standard Win10 decisions that need to be made when a device is being set up for the first time.
4. Assign an AutoPilot Deployment Profile to a Device Group – this matches what you’ve created in Step 2 with Step 3
5. Assign a user to a specific AutoPilot Device – this optional step allows you to match a user in your organisation with a specific device. The net result of this is the first time the user turns on the computer and connects it to the internet their name and email address is pre-populated in the setup process, meaning they only need to confirm their password during the setup – very cool!

The documentation I’ve linked to is pretty clear – it took me about thirty minutes to follow along and set the above up the first time I ran it.

Enrolling Your Device

Now the fun really beings. With the configuration completed, you can take your brand new ‘out of the box’ device and enroll it using AutoPilot for a truly streamlined, managed experience.

I took some photos of the experience using my phone camera (photo quality is average) and anyone that has ever set up Windows 10 will be familiar with this process:

At this point, the device settings and applications are installed (or possibly still coming down over the internet) but the device is ready for us.

The end user had minimal choices and actions required of them:

1. Choose their country
2. Choose their keyboard
3. Connect to the internet (this could even be their home WiFi)
4. Enter their organisation password (Office365)

My Thoughts

Modern deployment relies on the cloud for identity and provisioning of devices – there are no on-premise servers in the above model. This allows for fast, flexible and lower cost management of devices – something that appeals to education institutes where every dollar counts!

Whilst I’ve gone through the configuration pretty quickly above, along with a high level ‘rationale’ of why you’d want to do this, the next post will go a bit deeper into when to use Intune vs Intune for Education, and a couple of tweaks to make your devices run even faster at sign in and have key applications appear instantly whenever a new user signs in. I’ll likely post this in the next week or so.

International Women’s Day 8^th March 2019

By Ella Cockerell, Independent Software Vendor Lead - Microsoft UK

IWD is a great day to highlight some of the great work Microsoft and its partners are doing around inclusion and diversity. In fact it’s so important to our industry’s transformation that we wanted to recognize the great work of our partners by introducing a new Microsoft 2019 MPN Partner of the Year Award ‘Diversity and Inclusion’ that will be celebrated this year at Microsoft Inspire.

Personally, I think it is great to see this being recognized as an official award. I’ve been working in the tech sector for 20 years, so far, it’s given me amazing experiences and countless fantastic opportunities. Recently, I found myself reflecting on the tech jobs I’ve had over the past two decades. I thought about how much had changed, in terms of the world, the industry, and myself. I don’t listen to TLC anymore (ok, sometimes they sneak onto my Spotify). I no longer need a special password to access the internet. And I am usually not the only woman in a room anymore.

The shift in gender balance within the industry and the companies I have worked for has been gradual but steady, and momentum has gathered pace in recent years. As someone who works for a very inclusive company, I realise I am in a privileged position. Microsoft has a well-established programme to deliver gender equality across all areas. I also work in business development, which tends to have a more equal gender balance than other sectors of the technology industry.

However, in other areas, and for other women, the story is not so simple. When we think about being inclusive and diverse, we can’t forget about intersectionality. And that means making sure that we foster an environment which is fair and open to all.

Balance for Better

This year, International Women’s Day is all about #balanceforbetter. Diversity and inclusion create a more innovative, happy workforce. That’s why our campaign for International Women’s Day this year ensures we create opportunities for women from a range of different backgrounds and geographical locations.

My role in our independent software vendor (ISV) business means I get to work with some amazing software developers, cloud architects, and data scientists across a range of industries, as well as collaborate with other channel partners. When I attend meetings, there are often discussions around the challenge of finding and building digital skills, particularly in data science. There seems to be a groundswell of concern across our ecosystem. Hiring data scientists is hard, because there is a serious shortage. When I looked at the research, there were some interesting statistics – 80 percent of UK businesses plan to hire a data scientist in 2019. According to a recent Forbes article (cited in Harnham.com), only 26 percent of data jobs in the US are held by women, with that number halving for the UK.

Given that 93 percent of data scientists earn more than the average UK wage, and knowing the importance of having gender balance across all roles, I want to encourage more women to become data scientists.

Closing the gender skills gap

We have so many fantastic people working at Microsoft. And these incredibly talented people want to come out into the community to support those who are considering a career in the technology sector. We know there are many women leaving other industries. We know there are not enough women in tech. And we know that there are not enough data scientists in the UK. We also know our partners are finding it difficult to hire data scientists, too. Could we, perhaps, make some small change to take us a step closer to solving these problems?

To help address the gender skills gap we’re currently being challenged with, we’ve launched a plan to run nine data science bootcamps across the UK on the 2nd May. Facilitated by our channel partners; Amido, ANS Group, BJSS, DevOps Group, DSP, Grey Matter, and Kainos & Incremental, our aim is to host 100 women and support them through their first module of our Microsoft Professional Programme qualification in Data Science. They will then go on to study online from home over the next six months, before returning to their host partner site for a recruitment day.

We aim to have at least half these women to gain their qualification within six months of the bootcamp, with as many as possible securing their first data science role shortly thereafter. We’re excited to launch this for International Women’s Day and hope it will be something that we can repeat.

Paying it forward

I’ve been lucky enough to be supported by some amazing women throughout my career, and I want to pay that forward by offering other women the opportunity to explore the wonder of tech. We are also encouraging those women to pay it forward to others who are less fortunate. The training course and first certificate will be provided free of charge, but we are asking for a nominal £10 donation from each delegate, which will be donated to Smart Works. Best of all, Microsoft will match each donation pound for pound.

Of course, we’re not just focusing our efforts on addressing the gender skills gap for today only. We need to continuously work to inspire the next generation of girls to pursue a career in the tech sector. That’s why we’re running our #makerchampion projects at schools across the UK to change perceptions and inspire girls to pursue STEAM subjects. For more information on that initiative, read this blog from my colleague Sarah Hedley – our UK Digital Skills Lead.

Welcome to the March 3 - 9, 2019 edition of the Office 365 Weekly Digest.

There were nineteen features added to the Office 365 Roadmap last week, with multiple updates for Azure Active Directory, OneDrive, Outlook, SharePoint, and Teams.  Also of note is "Phase 2" of the Mail Flow Insights improvements in Exchange Online, which provide multiple new reports and tools to help discover trends, insights and take actions to fix issues related to mail flow in your Office 365 organization.

In addition to the standard Teams, Customer Immersion Experience, and Azure Active Directory sessions, there are two new events in this week's post. The first, at 8am Pacific on March 13th, is a "prenote" focusing on SharePoint, PowerApps, Forms and Flow in preparation for the upcoming SharePoint Conference North America. The second is a webinar with the Outlook mobile team on ten time saving tips and tricks with Outlook mobile - see below under "Upcoming Events" for details as there is more than one session.

Highlights from last week's blogs include a new resource center page to help plan for governance in Microsoft 365, the addition of a Yammer tab in Microsoft Teams, a lookback at the updates for Microsoft To-Do in February 2019, and mailbox auditing in Exchange Online being enabled by default.

Noteworthy items from last week include lots of security and identity related updates from the RSA Conference, information on an upcoming change for Mac users and the Skype Meetings (web) App, and an announcement regarding the availability of Planner in Microsoft Teams for GCC customers.

Microsoft To-Do February lookback—multiple account support on Windows, and more

It's time for the February lookback, where we finessed a few of our favorite new features! First is multiple account support on Windows, so now you can be certain that you'll never accidentally add a home task to that shared list with your boss. Second is the ability to search for attached files on Windows and Android. And if your lists aren't looking as colorful as you'd like, then you can now emojify them. Also, additional languages are now supported on iOS.

Yammer & Microsoft Teams: Ideas for using the Yammer tab in Teams

Microsoft Teams users can now add a Yammer tab to their Teams channel that loads a specified group or topic feed from Yammer. This new feature will allow members follow and share conversations in Yammer without having to leave Teams. Your team members can participate in the Yammer conversation, right from Teams, or discuss a Yammer conversation in Teams before posting a reply to the wider Yammer group. When a Teams member goes to the Yammer tab, they are authenticated again by Yammer, so that they only see Yammer content that they have access to. Yammer and Microsoft Teams together help get employees the right information at the right time. Using the two efficiently together, employees have a place for their questions and answers in Yammer, while the core team gets alignment on their responses in Teams. Four use cases are also outlined in the post.| Related: Microsoft Mechanics: Microsoft Teams updates for Firstline Workers

Top 5 tips to boost your OneDrive into overdrive

Having a tool that works for you and keeps working for you is the best kind of tool. That's how OneDrive is built, and it delivers a consistent experience to you for all your files in Office 365 – across all your devices. OneDrive is the files app for Microsoft 365 enabling people to access all their shared content across Microsoft 365, inclusive of SharePoint and Microsoft Teams, in addition to their personal files. You can easily share files inside and outside your organization and work together on them at the same time. Intelligent search and recommendations help you find files quickly, so you can spend more time getting things done rather than recreating work. OneDrive also integrates with Microsoft Flow to help with review cycles, PDF conversions and more. As part of Microsoft 365, your files are protected from accidental loss and malicious attacks. Let's boost your OneDrive into overdrive. Let's dive into the top five tips!

Exchange Online Mailbox Auditing Enabled By Default

Exchange Mailbox Auditing has now been enabled by default and rolled out worldwide, with the rollout to Unified Audit Log in Security and Compliance Center still in progress. If you are an Office 365 Customer, you should be able to search and retrieve your audit data with Search-MailboxAuditLog. In case you want to ensure record availability in both Exchange Mailbox and Unified Audit Log, you can do that by manually setting AuditEnabled flag to true, which will ensure that audit data from default enable is pushed to Unified Audit Log. As part of this change, we are also introducing the DefaultAuditSet parameter which would help you get back to the default set of verbs. DefaultAuditSet can be used to set the different action sets (Owner, Admin, Delegate) back to the service default audit events on a per-mailbox basis.

Skype for Business desktop app on Mac to replace Skype Meetings App (web)

In October 2018, we announced a plan to offer the Skype for Business desktop app on Mac as our web-downloadable meetings client instead of Skype Meetings App, starting in December. Due to feedback from customers, we decided to postpone the change. Everything is now in place, and we will make the transition on April 5! Starting in April, the joining web pages will only offer Skype for Business desktop app for download. The desktop app brings many advantages over SMA: Screen sharing, audio, and video are significantly more reliable. We are also making two changes to the desktop app in companion with this change: (1) reducing the size of the desktop app installer, and (2) adding support in the desktop app for uploading and downloading attachments in meetings, a feature that is available in SMA. Note: The desktop app does not support whiteboard, polls, and Q&A.

Por: Mary Snapp, vicepresidenta corporativa y jefa de Microsoft Filantropía.

Niñas programan juntas en Boys & Girls Club en Menasha, Wisconsin.

Como jefa de Microsoft Filantropías y la primer abogada contratada en Microsoft, he experimentado de primera mano el increíble potencial de cambio cuando las niñas y las mujeres son impulsadas para crear e innovar.

Tomen como ejemplo a Aishwarya Manoharan, una estudiante de ciencias de la computación e informática en la Universidad de Washington. Cuando Aishwarya crecía, no sabía con exactitud qué quería ser, pero sí estaba segura que su futuro no iba a estar alrededor de las computadoras. No era una sorpresa que ella pensara que trabajar con computadoras era para hombre, y las ciencias de la computación significaban estar sentada frente a una laptop mientras se escribe código por su cuenta, algo que no era una opción muy atractiva para esta extrovertida joven, que también juega tenis y le encanta hornear.

“Mi mayor deseo es de alguna manera cambiar el mundo para bien, ya sea con un cambio grande o pequeño”, comenta Aishwarya Manoharan. “Si puedo ayudar aunque sea a una persona a que alcance su potencial para mejorar al mundo a través de la tecnología, la información y las ciencias de la computación, entonces puedo decir que he alcanzado mi meta”.

Pero cuando Aishwarya tomó la clase de Ciencias de la Computación de Microsoft TEALS AP durante su tercer año de secundaria, se dio cuenta que la imagen que tenía de la programación estaba equivocada cuando vio a otras niñas emocionarse por las ciencias de la computación. Ahí fue cuando Aishwarya conoció a sus profesores voluntarios, incluida Arti Gupta, ingeniera de desarrollo de software en Microsoft, quien se convirtió en mentora de Aishwarya. La confianza que obtuvo Aishwarya de TEALS (Technology Education and Literacy in Schools), y en especial del apoyo de Arti, ha ayudado a Aishwarya cuando siente que no pertenece a las clases en su universidad que en su mayoría tienen a hombres y caucásicos. Ella comenta, “Pensar en cómo la señorita Gupta creía en mí me recordaba que estaba en el lugar correcto”.

La computación y la tecnología mantienen la promesa de generar oportunidades para muchas niñas. Y, aunque ha existido progreso para que más niñas sean presentadas, apoyadas y exitosas en ciencias de la computación desde jardín de niños hasta la carrera, aún hay trabajo por hacer. El camino a una carrera relacionada a la computación necesita ser inclusiva y brindar el soporte correcto en el momento correcto, para que las niñas y las mujeres se sientan motivadas y bienvenidas. De manera colectiva, nuestras compañías, productos e innovaciones sufrirán sin la perspectiva que llevan las niñas y las mujeres, las tecnologías emergerán de manera inevitable con un sesgo involuntario y una visión limitada sobre la diversidad de las personas que la utilizarán y dependen de ella.

En la actualidad, niñas y estudiantes de color representan 65 por ciento de toda la población de los Estados Unidos, y aun así sólo 28 por ciento de los estudiantes de secundaria que toman el examen AP Computer Science son niñas, y sólo 22 por ciento son estudiantes de color. Las razones por las que las niñas pierden interés en STEM (ciencia, tecnología, ingeniería y matemáticas) y en las ciencias de la computación son muchas: falta de un modelo a seguir y falta de apoyo, a una percepción errónea de cómo son en la vida real las carreras STEM, y cómo estas habilidades pueden ayudar a desbloquear las aspiraciones más descabelladas. Sin una mayor influencia femenina en campos STEM, corremos el riesgo de dejar vacío miles de trabajos, sin mencionar dejar sin aprovechar la mitad de nuestro talento.

Es por eso que es urgente que la educación en ciencias de la educación debe ser más inclusiva. Necesitamos mostrar a las niñas, y a todos los estudiantes de diferentes orígenes, que ellos también pueden adoptar el arte y creatividad de las computadoras y ser constructores, inventores, solucionadores de problemas y científicos computacionales que resuelven los retos del mañana. Esto requiere que nosotros tomemos acciones:

• Hacer que cuenten las ciencias de la computación. Esta política es la mejor y más sencilla manera de ayudar a las ciencias de la computación a llegar a más niñas. Desde 2013, cuando Microsoft comenzó su labor con Advocacy Coalition de Code.org, el número de estados de Estados Unidos que han hecho que cuenten las ciencias de la computación a través de créditos requeridos en matemáticas o ciencias para la graduación en secundaria han crecido de nueve a 45. Montana se convirtió en el estado más reciente hace unos días.
• Brindar acceso a ejemplos a seguir femeninos con antecedentes diversos. Muchas empleadas de Microsoft son voluntarias de nuestro programa DigiGirlz, diseñado para presentar a las niñas oportunidades de carrera disponibles en campos tecnológicos. A la fecha, hemos ofrecido a más de 54 mil niñas la oportunidad de explorar y convertirse en pensadoras, creadoras y autoras activas en STEM.
• Foco en acceso e inclusión. Hacemos esto al asociarnos con organizaciones no lucrativas locales para llevar planteamientos relevantes a las ciencias de la computación a nivel cultural para las comunidades locales. En los Estados Unidos, más de 1,400 profesionales tecnológicos son voluntarios con TEALS en escuelas, para atender a 16 mil estudiantes, donde 33 por ciento de estos son mujeres jóvenes. En el extranjero, grupos como Shared Path en Australia llevan entrenamiento a la medida en habilidades digitales para aborígenes australianos, y Laboratoria en América Latina, una organización liderada por mujeres que ha entrenado a más de mil mujeres jóvenes para que se conviertan en desarrolladoras y diseñadoras web al imitar escenarios actuales de trabajo.

En el Día Internacional de la Mujer, únanse a nosotros al tomar acción y ayudar a inspirar a la siguiente generación de mujeres a que se mantengan en STEM y #MakeWhatsNext:

• Usen sus habilidades tecnológicas para el bien. Pueden ser voluntarios para TEALS, Black Girls Code o Girls Who Code si tienen experiencia en CS. O pueden organizar un Hour of Code en su escuela u organización no lucrativa local donde no se requiere experiencia en codificación.
• Apoyen a socios de organizaciones no lucrativas que estén enfocados de manera explícita en cerrar las brechas para las niñas, como Anita Borg Institute, Black Girls Code, Girls Who Code y NCWIT.
• Nominen a un profesor para desarrollo profesional en ciencias de la computación, una beca apoyada por Microsoft a través de Code.org.
• Brinden a las niñas el apoyo que necesitan para tener éxito. Nuestra Closing the STEM Gap Action Guide, creada en asociación con expertos en el campo, brinda grandes conocimientos y recomendaciones sobre qué podemos hacer cada uno de nosotros para apoyar a las niñas en su camino hacia STEM. Si son educadores, den un vistazo a este conjunto curado de recursos disponibles para ayudarles a cerrar la brecha.

Al dar estos pasos y unirnos en acciones colectivas, podemos crear un conducto más inclusivo de ciencias de la computación para mujeres, brindar un mayor acceso a oportunidades económicas para personas de todos los antecedentes, y dirigir más innovación, a partir de hoy.

Summary

I recently work on a case that involved slow incoming mail destined to SharePoint libraries. We found the problem was caused by a buildup of mail in the "drop" folders across multiple servers. Looking closer at the issue, we found that most of the messages were intended for aliases that no longer existed.

Example:

03/11/2019 12:19:09.61    OWSTIMER.EXE (0x2DB0)    0x2598    SharePoint Foundation    E-Mail    6871    Information    The Incoming E-Mail service has completed a batch. The elapsed time was 00:00:00. The service processed 3 message(s) in total. Errors occurred processing 3 message(s): Message ID: Message ID: Message ID: The following aliases were unknown: docs72
docs74 docs73    9dfbc79e-e62a-a083-7f7d-713af476a4e7

After the drop folder accumulates about 400 files, it prolongs the "job-email-delivery" timer job and can cause delivery delays.

What was done?

To resolve this issue, we provided a few scripts to keep the drop folder clean, by moving messages destined an unknown aliases to a holding folder and managed outside of the drop folder.

The first script uses a "search string" to match the unknown alias found the ULS events.

Example:

#########################
#Move Mail based on name#
#########################
$SrcDir = "c:inetpubmailrootdrop"
$DestDir = "c:inetpubmailrootbadmailspmail"

if(!(Test-Path -Path c:inetpubmailrootbadmailspmail)){
New-Item -ItemType directory -Path $DestDir}

$SearchString = "To: <docs72@sp2016.com>"
Get-Childitem $SrcDir -filter *.eml | ? {select-string $SearchString $_ -quiet} | move-item -Destination $DestDir

The 2^nd script simply moved any message that was not processed after 10 minutes. So, after cleaning up all the known badmail, nothing should last longer than 10 minutes. If so, assume its bad and move it.

Example:

############################
#Move Mail after 10 minutes#
############################

$SrcDir = "c:inetpubmailrootdrop"
$DestDir = "c:inetpubmailrootbadmailspmail"

if(!(Test-Path -Path c:inetpubmailrootbadmailspmail)){
New-Item -ItemType directory -Path $DestDir}

Foreach($file in (Get-ChildItem $SrcDir))
{
If($file.LastWriteTime -lt (Get-Date).AddMinutes(+10))
{Move-Item -Path $file.fullname -Destination $DestDir}
}

How does SharePoint handle it?

SharePoint does delete mail directly from the drop folder if it has not been processed after 24 hours via the OWSTIMER process and within the timer job.

Example:

As you can see from PROCMON , the OWSTIMER deletes the "eml" file directly from the DROP folder. However, since each bad mail will take 24 hours to be deleted, expect a large queue of messages in the drop folder on busy farms.

Conclusion

If you are in the process of a migration, chances are you will have e-mail destined to folders that no longer exist. Once a large build up of mail is created in the drop folder, expect delays. However, I hope this blog creates awareness and helps you manage the issue more efficiently, if you find yourself in this situation in the future.

このポストは、2019 年 3 月 5 日に投稿された Azure Premium Blob Storage public preview の翻訳です。

本日マイクロソフトは、Azure Premium Blob Storage のパブリック プレビューの提供を開始しました。Premium Blob Storage は、これまでのホット/クール/アーカイブに加えて登場した、新しいパフォーマンス層です。IoT、テレメトリ、AI や、インタラクティブな動画の編集、Web コンテンツ、オンライン トランザクションなどのシナリオを含む高トランザクション、高速アクセスが求められるワークロードにぴったりです。

テストでは、平均値、 99 パーセンタイル値の両方でサーバー レイテンシがホット アクセス層より大幅に低下し、さまざまなオブジェクト サイズの読み書き両方がより速く、より一貫性が高くなっています。エンドツーエンドで低レイテンシ化するには、アプリケーションをストレージ アカウントと同じリージョンのインスタンスでデプロイする必要があります。詳しくは、ブログ記事「Premium Blob Storage – 新たなパフォーマンス レベル (英語)」を参照してください。

図 1 - Premium Blob Storage と Standard Blob Storage のレイテンシ比較

Premium Blob Storageでは、ローカル冗長ストレージ（LRS）が使え、256 KB以上の取り込みも非常に高速な高スループットブロックBLOB（HTBB）になっています。

ぜひ Premium Blob Storage を使ってみてください。

Premium Blob Storage を利用するには、サブスクリプションに新しいブロック BLOB ストレージ アカウントをプロビジョニングして(詳細は下記参照)、既存の BLOB サービス REST API (英語) や AzCopy、Azure Storage Explorer などでコンテナーと BLOB を作成します。

料金と提供リージョン

Premium Blob Storage は、ホット層と比べてデータ ストレージ料金は高く、トランザクション料金は安くなっています。大量のトランザクション処理があるワークロードでは、コストを低減できます。詳しくは料金ページをご覧ください。

Premium Blob Storage のパブリック プレビューは、米国東部、米国東部 2、米国中部、米国西部、米国西部 2、北ヨーロッパ、西ヨーロッパ、東日本、東南アジアの各リージョンでご利用いただけます。

オブジェクトの階層化

現時点では、Premium に保存したデータは、ホット、クール、アーカイブ層に階層化して保存することはできません。将来的には、オブジェクトの階層化をサポートする予定です。データを移動するには、新たに追加された PutBlockFromURL API (英語) (サンプル コード) や、この API をサポートした AzCopy v10 で BLOB を同期コピーします。PutBlockFromURL はサーバー側のデータを同期コピーするので、呼び出しが完了するとコピーが終了し、Azure Storage 内でデータ移動が完結します。

なお、Storage Analytics Logging、静的 Web サイト、および Lifecycle Management（プレビュー）には、Premium Blob Storage は使用できません。

ストレージ アカウントの作成(Azure Portal の場合)

Azure Portal でブロック BLOB ストレージ アカウントを作成するには、[Create storage account] ブレードに移動して、以下のように入力します。

• [Location] でサポート対象のリージョンを 1 つ選択
• [Performance] で [Premium] を選択
• [Account kind] で [BlockBlobStorage (preview)] を選択

入力例：

これで SAS トークンの生成やメトリックの確認などを含む Premium Blob Storage アカウントの管理ができます。

ストレージ アカウントの作成(PowerShell の場合)

PowerShell でブロック BLOB のアカウントを作成するには、まず PowerShell AzureRm.Storage プレビュー モジュールをインストールする必要があります。

ステップ 1: 最新版の PowerShellGet がインストールされていることを確認

Install-Module PowerShellGet –Repository PSGallery –Force

ステップ 2: PowerShell コンソールを新規に開き、AzureRm.Storage モジュールをインストール

Install-Module Az.Storage –Repository PSGallery -RequiredVersion 1.1.1-preview –AllowPrerelease –AllowClobber –Force

ステップ 3: PowerShell コンソールを新規に開き、Azure アカウントでログイン

Connect-AzAccount

PowerShell プレビュー モジュールの準備ができたら、ブロック BLOB ストレージ アカウントを作成します。

New-AzStorageAccount -ResourceGroupName <resource group> -Name <accountname> -Location <region> -Kind "BlockBlobStorage" -SkuName "Premium_LRS"

ストレージ アカウントの作成(Azure CLI)

Azure CLI でブロック BLOB のアカウントを作成するには、まず Azure CLI v.2.0.46 以降をインストールします。その後、以下の手順を実行します。

ステップ 1: サブスクリプションにログイン

az login

ステップ 2: storage-preview 拡張機能を追加

az extension add -n storage-preview

ステップ 3: ストレージ アカウントを作成

az storage account create --location <location> --name <accountname> --resource-group <resource-group> --kind "BlockBlobStorage" --sku "Premium_LRS"

こんにちは。日本マイクロソフト Outlook サポート チームです。
メール作成時、Outlook 連絡先をメールの宛先に指定した場合に、プレゼンスが取得されず表示されない事象が発生することがあります。

発生条件
以下を実施した場合にこの事象は発生します。

手順 1. 以下のいずれかの方法で Outlook 連絡先を作成
・Outlook のグローバル アドレス一覧から連絡先に追加する。
・受信メールの差出人や宛先、CC を右クリックして連絡先に追加する。

手順 2. Outlook 2016 でメールの新規作成や転送などを行う際、宛先に上記の連絡先を指定

原因
この動作は Outlook 2016 の不具合によるものです。
過去に修正リクエストも行われていますが、影響範囲が広いことから修正が見送られています。

現象が発生する連絡先アイテムの確認方法
Outlook 上で以下のような操作で登録した連絡先アイテムについては、内部的に保持するアドレスの形式としては Exchange Server が独自に使用する EX アドレスと呼ばれる形式で保存されます。

・ Outlook のグローバル アドレス一覧から連絡先に追加する。
・ 受信メールの差出人や宛先、CC を右クリックして連絡先に追加する。

そして EX アドレスの形式で登録されたアイテムについては、プレゼンスが表示できない問題が発生する場合があります。
一方、ユーザーが連絡先アイテムを新規作成してアドレスを手打ちした場合、当該アイテムのアドレス情報は SMTP アドレスの形式で保存され、プレゼンスが表示可能となります。

既に登録済みの連絡先アイテムについては、Outlook の連絡先ビューでアドレスの種類を確認することができます。

- 手順
1. Outlook 2016 を起動します。
2. 連絡先メニューをクリックします。
3. [表示] タブをクリックしてリボンの [ビューの変更] をクリックして [一覧] を選択します。
4. リボンの [ビューの設定] を選択します。
5. ビューの詳細設定画面が開くので [列] をクリックします。
6. "対象となる列グループ" のプルダウンで [電子メール フィールド] を選択します。
7. "表示可能な列" から [電子メール アドレスの種類] を選択して [追加] をクリックします。
8. [OK] - [OK] とクリックします。
9. 連絡先の一覧ビューの右端に該当フィールドが追加されます。

[電子メール アドレスの種類] が "EX" の種類であるアイテムは、メール編集画面でプレゼンスが表示されない事象が高い頻度で発生するアイテムとなります。

回避策
[電子メール アドレスの種類] を "SMTP" に変更することがこの問題の回避策です。
"SMTP" に変更する方法としては 2 つがあります。

方法 1. 連絡先アイテムのメールアドレスを手入力する
GAL や受信メールから追加するのではなくメールアドレスを手入力して連絡先を作成することで、[電子メール アドレスの種類] が "SMTP" となり本事象は発生しません。
なお、連絡先アイテム作成時、メールアドレスで候補として自動的に表示されたアドレスを選択した場合には "EX" となりますのでご注意ください。

方法 2. エクスポートした連絡先アイテムを編集してインポートを行う
Outlook ではエクスポートのメニューから csv 形式での連絡先エクスポートが可能です。
このとき、前述の [電子メール アドレスの種類] の項目が "電子メールの種類" のフィールド名でエクスポートされます。

以下のような手順でエクスポートしたデータを変更してインポートすることで、事象が発生しないアイテムにすることが可能です。

- 連絡先のエクスポート手順
1. Outlook 2016 を起動します。
2. [ファイル] タブから [開く/エクスポート] メニューを選択して [インポート/エクスポート] のボタンをクリックします。
3. "ファイルにエクスポート" を選択して [次へ] をクリックします。
4. "テキスト ファイル (カンマ区切り)" を選択して [次へ] をクリックします。
5. "エクスポートするフォルダーの選択" で連絡先フォルダーを選択して [次へ] をクリックします。
6. 任意の場所とファイル名を指定して [次へ] - [完了] をクリックします。

- 連絡先の編集
エクスポートされた csv ファイルを Excel で開き、"電子メールの種類" フィールドが EX となっている場合、以下のように編集します。

・ "電子メール アドレス" に LegacyExchangeDN と呼ばれる文字列が格納されているので、対象のユーザーの SMTP アドレスに変更する
・ "電子メールの種類" を EX から SMTP に変更する。

編集が完了したら csv ファイルを保存して Excel を終了します。
ファイルを開いたままの場合はインポートが失敗しますのでご注意ください。

- 連絡先のインポート手順
1. Outlook 2016 の [ファイル] タブをクリックします。
2. [開く/エクスポート] メニューを選択して [インポート/エクスポート] のボタンをクリックします。
3. "他のプロプログラムまたはファイルからのインポート" を選択して [次へ] をクリックします。
4. "テキスト ファイル (カンマ区切り)" を選択して [次へ] をクリックします。
5. 編集済みの csv ファイルを選択します。
6. "重複した場合、インポートするアイテムと置き換える" を選択して [次へ] をクリックします。
7. "インポート先のフォルダー" で連絡先フォルダーを選択して [次へ] - [完了] をクリックします。
