3. Marco teórico
3.8 Prototipo
Scenario
Now that Heidi Leitner has set up a Lucerne Publishing trial tenant account and registered the
lucernepublishingXXX.onmicrosoft.com domain successfully, staff at the company need to use the Office 365 interface during the pilot phase. As there has not yet been a decision as to the final design, Heidi and the other Lucerne Publishing pilot users and IT staff are getting to grips with the interface and the various administrative tasks. Chief among those tasks are the creation of users and groups, together with Office 365 and individual service license administration.
Objectives
To provide the students with practical experience of managing users, licenses, and groups by using both the Office 365 admin center and Windows PowerShell.
Lab Setup
Estimated Time: 90 minutes Virtual machine: 20346A-LUC-CL1 Username: Student1
Password: Pa$$w0rd
Where you see references in the steps to lucernepublishingXXX.onmicrosoft.com, you should replace XXX with the unique Lucerne Publishing number that you are assigned when you set up your Office 365 accounts in Module 1, Lab 1B, Exercise 2, Task 2, High Level Step 2 and Detailed Step 6.
Where you see references to labXXXXX.o365ready.com, you should replace XXXXX with the unique O365ready.com number you are assigned when you registered your IP address at www.o365ready.com in Module 1, Lab 1A, Exercise 1, Task 7, High Level Step 1 and Detailed Step 10.
Exercise 1: Manage Users and Licenses by Using the Administration Center
Scenario
Heidi is learning about the practicalities of managing users and licenses in Office 365 admin center. Her first task is to set up user accounts for the other Office 365 pilot users.
The main tasks for this exercise are as follows:
1. Creating Office 365 Users
2. Verifying the Office 365 User Accounts
Task 1: Creating Office 365 Users
1. On LUC-CL1, log on to Office 365 as Heidi Leitner.
2. Create the user accounts listed below. Set their location to Switzerland and assign them a license.
Note their temporary passwords.
o Robert Schmid o William Douglas o Justin Muller o Rick Torres o Mario Ledford

3. Edit the Mario Ledford and Rick Torres user accounts using the following settings:
o Department – Accounts o Set sign-in status - Blocked
4. Delete the Robert Schmid user account.
5. Restore the Robert Schmid user account.
Task 2: Verifying the Office 365 User Accounts
1. On LUC-CL1, log in as Robert Schmid and verify you can access the Office 365 environment. Change his temporary password to Pa$$w0rd, and then sign out.
2. Attempt to log in as Rick Torres and verify that you cannot access Office 365.
3. Allow Mario Ledford and Rick Torres to sign in to Office 365 by changing the following setting:
o Set sign-in status - Allowed
4. Log in as Rick Torres and verify that you can access the Office 365 environment. Change his temporary password to Pa$$w0rd, and then sign out
Results: User accounts and licenses are created and managed according to business needs.
Exercise 2: Manage Security and Distribution Groups
Scenario
Heidi is happy with the process of creating user accounts and assigning them licenses. She now wants to move on to practice managing those users through group memberships of security and distribution groups.
The main tasks for this exercise are as follows:
1. Creating Security and Distribution Groups 2. Managing Security Groups
Task 1: Creating Security and Distribution Groups 1. Create Office 365 security groups for sales and accounts:
o Name - Sales
o Description - Sales department users
o Members - William Douglas and Robert Schmid o Name – Accounts
o Description - Accounts department users o Members - Mario Ledford and Rick Torres
2. Create the following Exchange distribution groups for sales and accounts:
o Distribution Group Name – Sales Distribution o Alias – salesdist
o Description - Distribution group for sales department o Members - Robert Schmid and William Douglas

o Distribution Group Name - Accounts Distribution o Alias – accountsdist
o Description - Distribution group for accounts department o Members - Rick Torres and Mario Ledford
3. Create the following Exchange security group and dynamic distribution groups:
o Security Group Name - Sales Security o Alias – salessec
o Description - Exchange security group for sales o Members - Robert Schmid and William Douglas o Dynamic Distribution Group Name - Accounts Dynamic o Alias – acctsdynamic
o Description - Dynamic distribution group for accounts o Owner - Heidi Leitner
o Recipient Types - Users with Exchange mailboxes o Rule - Department = Accounts
Task 2: Managing Security Groups
1. Verify that the three Office 365 security groups you just created exist and that you cannot see the Accounts Dynamic group. Also verify that you cannot edit the Accounts Distribution group.
2. Add Justin Muller to the Sales Security Group.
3. Delete the Sales Security group.
Results: You have created a group structure based on the security need within Lucerne Publishing.
Exercise 3: Manage Cloud Identities with Microsoft PowerShell
Scenario
Heidi isn’t a great expert with PowerShell, but she is determined to get to grips with it and find out how it can help automate the processes of administering Office 365 user and group accounts. The Pilot Phase of the FastTrack process is a good time to learn these new skills and syntax.
The main tasks for this exercise are as follows:
1. Managing Users, Groups, and Licenses with Windows PowerShell 2. Bulk Provision Users with Windows PowerShell
Task 1: Managing Users, Groups, and Licenses with Windows PowerShell 1. Create users with Windows PowerShell. (Note: You will need to use the Lab Answer Key
document for the detailed steps for this task.)
2. Create a security group with Windows PowerShell and add users to the group.
(Note: You will need to use the Lab Answer Key document for the detailed steps for this task.) 3. Add licenses to unlicensed users with Windows PowerShell. (Note: You will need to use the Lab
Answer Key document for the detailed steps for this task.)

6. Restore a user with Windows PowerShell. (Note: You will need to use the Lab Answer Key document for the detailed steps for this task.)
7. Allow a user’s sign-in with Windows PowerShell. (Note: You will need to use the Lab Answer Key document for the detailed steps for this task.)
Task 2: Bulk Provision Users with Windows PowerShell
1. Use Notepad to customize E:\labfiles\Lab02\O365Users.csv, replacing the XXX in lucernepublishingXXX.onmicrosoft.com with your unique Lucerne Publishing number.
2. Bulk import users from E:\Labfiles\Lab02\O365Users.csv using the Import-CSV file in Windows PowerShell.
(Note: You will need to use the Lab Answer Key document for the detailed steps for this task.) 3. View the new accounts in Office 365 admin center.
4. View the new mailboxes in Exchange admin center.
Results: Heidi can use PowerShell to manage Lucerne Publishing user and group accounts in Office 365 by using PowerShell.
Lab Discussion Questions
What process do you need to go through before you can use PowerShell to administer users and groups in Office 365?
Run Windows Azure Active Directory PowerShell with administrative rights, then execute the Connect-MSOL command. Provide the credentials of an account that has Global Admin or User Management Admin rights.
How would you design your group structure to minimize adding and removing people from groups?
Use nested groups and assign permissions to the group rather than to individuals.
