Overview of this book

Organizations across the world have switched to Office 365 to boost workplace productivity. However, to maximize investment in Office 365, you need to know how to efficiently administer Office 365 solutions. Microsoft Office 365 Administration Cookbook is packed with recipes to guide you through common and not-so-common administrative tasks throughout Office 365.

To get the most out of this book

Because everything covered in this book involves Office 365, a cloud-based and subscription-based service, you'll need a constant internet connection and an Office 365 subscription. In most cases, an E3 or E5 subscription will be sufficient, and recipes that require add-ons will specify that.

If you have a subscription through your organization, you may be able to perform some of these recipes if you've been granted the proper administrative role for the recipe(s) you wish to perform. If you're unable to obtain proper permissions and just want to practice the recipes, you can get a personal trial of Microsoft 365 at https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/try. You can also get a Microsoft 365 tenant pre-populated with users and content specifically intended for development and testing at https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/dev-program.
