Set up and manage thousands of home office workstations with ScriptRunner

Ettlingen, March 18, 2020: Due to the corona crisis, more and more companies are sending their employees to home offices. But are all customers and business
partners sufficiently informed about this? And how well will the cooperation work in the next few weeks? With ScriptRunner, administrators can use PowerShell to manage Microsoft teams in a time-saving manner, centrally manage routine tasks such as absence management and even delegate the activation or blocking of mobile access to the service desk or specialist department.

The sharp increase in home office workplaces is currently creating immense stress for IT administrators in many companies. The changing nature of digital collaboration is creating a lot of extra work for IT and help desk teams. Licenses need to be rolled out, team areas need to be recreated and out-of-office messages
need to be activated.

MANAGE MICROSOFT TEAMS WITH POWERSHELL TO SAVE TIME
PowerShell enables administrators to easily and quickly automate recurring tasks in managing Microsoft teams. In a free webinar, ScriptRunner Software will use application examples to demonstrate the possibilities offered by the Teams PowerShell module and how these functions can also be used securely and
effectively by non-PowerShell experts.

DATE AND TIME:
The webinar will take place on Wednesday, 25 March 2020 from 10:00 to 10:45 (EST) | 16:00 to 16:45 (CET). https://lp.scriptrunner.com/en/webinar-microsoft-teams-2020

All registered participants will receive access to the webinar recording even if they do not attend.

ACTIVE SYNC - ACCESS FOR MOBILE DEVICES
To maintain internal and external communication, mobile access to e-mails, appointments and contacts is required in addition to MS Teams (https://www.scriptrunner.com/en/use-cases/manage-activesync/). This is where speed of set-up is now required. Enabling or blocking mobile access is a task that could be completed faster and easier - if administrative rights on the Exchange
Server were not required. With the help of ScriptRunner, the service desk or the departments themselves can manage access for mobile devices. Of course, only for mailboxes or users who fall under their responsibility - comprehensible and transparent. Activating or blocking mobile access for e-mail, calendar or the
Outlook smartphone app can also be done without administrative rights.

CENTRALIZED MANAGEMENT OF ABSENCE NOTIFICATIONS
If working from home is not enough to protect employees from infections like COVID-19, the only remaining option is to go to the doctor or go straight to bed. Even in this worst case scenario, ScriptRunner makes it easy to activate out of office notifications for single users or whole teams at once. Of course, there is no need to access a personal mailbox - and the colleague concerned can get well in peace.
