Today’s Tip…

Ever get the urge to clean up your photos, music, or video content? Like (or want) to have them in specific columns in File Explorer? And once you get things the way that you want them, how do you keep them? This all can be done in a few, simple steps.

For this example, let’s use Music.

• Right-click on your Music parent folder.
• Select Properties and then click on the Customize tab.
• Make sure that the you have the box next to Also apply this template to all subfolder checked.

• Click Ok to exit.
• In the Music parent folder, right click on any of the current column headers to open the column customization menu.

• If there are additional attributes you’d like that aren’t listed, click on More.

• I’m adding Genre and Year to my columns.

• My list is currently set up to list the tracks in play order, with all the attributes visible I want to see. To make this apply to all folders associated to Music, click on the View tab in File Explorer.
• Click on Options and then Change folder and search options.

• Click on the View tab in the Folder Options pop-up window. Click on Apply to Folders. A pop-up will ask you if all folders of this type should get these settings. To make these settings visible on all Music folders, click Yes.

• To verify, I look at a couple albums, and see that my changes are present.

The same process and customization can be completed on for your pictures, documents, or any folder.

Have fun with it and let your inner control freak out!

Hello folks,

Today I want to talk about how your published applications show up to end users. And how you can configure your app to ensure that users land on the appropriate page when accessing it. Based on the feedback we’ve received this is a topic of great interest for many of you.  

As you are aware, when you grant users the ability to access published applications, those applications show up in the Azure AD Access panel and the Office365 App Launcher. By default, when users launch these applications they are taken to the home page url of the published application. The home page url is, by default, set to the front-end url of the published application.

For example, consider a backend application http://ExpenseApp that is published as https://expenseApp-contoso.msappproxy.net. By default, the home page url is set to https://expenseApp-contoso.msappproxy.net and users clicking the app will be taken to that URL.  

However, in some cases, we’ve heard that customers want users to land on a specific page within the application, for example https://expenseApp-contoso.msappproxy.net/login/login.aspx. This is a very common request and one that makes perfect sense in multi-page applications that have a specific logical starting point.

Today, I’m very pleased to announce that you can now do this by configuring the ‘home page url’ of the published application.  The process requires you to use a PowerShell module. Don’t worry though, we are working to provide this as a UI option to make it easier :). However, rather than hold the feature until we get the UI completed we wanted to share this with you so you could use the steps below to configure your applications right away. 

Ross, a Senior Program Manager in the team, has been focusing on getting this capability into your hands as soon as possible. Let me have him introduce it to you. 

Go on, give this a try! And as always, if you have any feedback on this please send us a note at aadfeedback@microsoft.com. We look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks,

I’m Ross Adams and I’m a Senior Program Manager in the Azure Active Directory team, focusing on Application Proxy and other Hybrid Identity technologies.

Alright, let’s walkthrough how to setup a custom home page url for your published application.

Before we begin

There are a couple of items to note when you set the homepage url:

1.    You must make sure that the path you specify is a sub path of the frontend url. 

For example, if the intranet application is published with a front-end url of https://intranet-contoso.msappproxy.net/ then the homepage url that you configure must start with https://intranet-contoso.msappproxy.net/. Similarly, if the front-end url is https://apps.contoso.com/app1/ then the home page url must start with https://apps.contoso.com/app1/

2.     If you make a change to the published application, it may reset the value of the home page url. So if you do update the application you may need to recheck/update the homepage url.

Using Azure AD Powershell module

To set the home page url using powershell, you need to get the Azure AD PowerShell module installed.  This isn’t the standard Azure AD PowerShell module but a package from the PowerShell Gallery that uses the GRAPH API end point.  More information about the package can be found here (https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/AzureAD/1.1.23.0) including instructions, which are relatively simple as follows:

1.      Open PowerShell.

2.      Run the following command

Install-Module -Name AzureAD -RequiredVersion 1.1.23.0

NOTE: if you are running this as a non Admin you will need to use the additional option of “-scope currentuser”.

3.      During the install it will install two packages from Nuget.org, please select “Y” to install these as they are needed to use the package.

Setting a Home Page URL Value

Now that you have the Powershell Module installed we’re ready to set the home page url using two simple steps:

1.      Find the application you want to update.

2.      Update the homepage URL for the application.

Step 1 – Finding the ObjectID of the application

To obtain the ObjectID of the application I’m going to search for the application by the homepage. 

1.      Open PowerShell.

2.      Import the AzureAD module

Import-Module AzureAD

3.      We now need to login.  Use the cmdlet below and follow the instructions on the screen. Make sure you login as the tenant administrator.

Connect-AzureAD

4.      The cmdlet below will find the applications based on the homepage containing “sharepoint-iddemo”. The app I’m looking to edit. Just replace this with the value that works for your application.  Note I filtered the return result for easier reading.

Get-AzureADApplications | where { $_.Homepage -like "*sharepoint-iddemo*" } | fl DisplayName, Homepage, ObjectID

5.      You should see something similar to the following. The GUID (in bold below) is the value we are looking for:

DisplayName : SharePoint

Homepage    : https://sharepoint-iddemo.msappproxy.net/

ObjectId    : 8af89bfa-eac6-40b0-8a13-c2c4e3ee22a4

6.      Copy the GUID value you see to the clipboard. We’ll need that in step 2.

Step 2 - Updating the Homepage URL

We are going to use the same tool to update the homepage URL as we did to find the application.  In my case the application ID I want to update is “8af89bfa-eac6-40b0-8a13-c2c4e3ee22a4”. 

I’m assuming you are still logged into PowerShell, if not then repeat steps 1 to 3 above, then follow the steps below:

1.      Confirm you have the right application, just replacing “8af89bfa-eac6-40b0-8a13-c2c4e3ee22a4” with the value of your application that you copied above.

Get-AzureADApplication -AppObjectId 8af89bfa-eac6-40b0-8a13-c2c4e3ee22a4

2.      Now that we have confirmed the application we are ready to update the homepage as follows.

a.      Create a blank application object to hold the changes we want to make; this doesn’t create anything; it is just a variable of the right type to hold the values we want to update.

$appnew = New-Object "Microsoft.Open.AzureAD.Model.Application"

b.      Set the homepage to the value you want it to be, keep in mind that it must be a sub path of the published application.  In my case I’m going to change my homepage from https://sharepoint-iddemo.msappproxy.net/ to https://sharepoint-iddemo.msappproxy.net/hybrid/ so uses go straight to the hybrid site.

$appnew.Homepage = "https://sharepoint-iddemo.msappproxy.net/hybrid/"

c.      Now we just need to make the update, remember to use the GUID you copied from above.

Set-AzureADApplication -AppObjectId 8af89bfa-eac6-40b0-8a13-c2c4e3ee22a4 -Application $appnew

3.      You’re all done, and we can confirm by getting the application again and making sure the change worked.

Get-AzureADApplication -AppObjectId 8af89bfa-eac6-40b0-8a13-c2c4e3ee22a4

Keep in mind that certain changes to the application in the UX will reset the HomePage URL so you might have to do this again.

Hope you find this useful and as always we appreciate your feedback.

Following an earlier post (It’s Award season), and as we officially turn to spring, we’re drawing closer to one of my favourite times of the year, WPC and the IMPACT Awards. 

While there is so much to look forward to about WPC – the connections, the time with so many of you from across the country, the content – especially this year as we return to Toronto, the one piece that stands out beyond all others, is the opportunity it provides to recognize the incredible innovation, and impact, across our ecosystem, and across Canada!

As we approach the deadlines for both the IMPACT Awards and the Partner of the Year Awards, I thought I’d provide a couple of posts, a bit of an open Q&A, sharing the experience that a couple of partners had last year.

Before getting to that, a quick reminder:

1. The Partner of the Year Awards tool is open until April 7th at 11.59 PM PST. Visit the awards and nomination portal to learn more. Be sure that you’re submitting nominations for both the Competency workloads, but also the Country Partner of the Year!

2. The 2016 IMPACT Awards nomination tool closes on April 12th at 11:59 PM PST. We recommend that you review the complete award guidelines and have your entry 100% ready to go before you begin the upload process. 

Now, let’s talk shop with ProServeIT, the 2015 Canada Country Partner of the Year winner. I hope their story inspires you to submit your nomination for 2016!

Channel Chief @ Microsoft Canada

--------

For any tech services company, winning a Microsoft IMPACT Award is a big deal. (It’s a bit like winning an Oscar for geeks.) But even among IMPACT awards — which recognizes everything from great marketing and app development to CRM implementation — to be recognized as a Country Partner of the Year means that you’re at the very top of your country’s tech services industry. It means that you’re firing on all cylinders, demonstrating innovation, technical mastery, agility and, above all, the ability to deliver an outstanding customer experience.  

In 2015, ProServeIT earned this top honour in Canada.

Founded in 2001 and based in Mississauga, Ontario, ProServeIT is a privately-owned and multi-award winning technology services company that provides leading-edge solutions to private and public sector clients worldwide. With offices in Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, Paris and Ho Chi Min City, the company has built an international reputation for a remarkable range of competencies, creativity and deep technical talent.

I recently had a chance to catch up with Eric Sugar, President of ProServeIT, in his Mississauga office to talk about his company’s ongoing cloud transformation and how winning the 2015 Microsoft Country Partner of the Year for Canada has impacted his business.

ProServeIT has achieved so much success in recent years — why?

We’ve been in business for over 14 years, but in the last three years we’ve been growing especially fast — well ahead of our targets. While the solutions that we’re now implementing have changed considerably from our early days, what has not changed is our belief that technology must act as a business enabler. We see IT as a great way to help any-sized company become more efficient, keep costs to a minimum and drive new sales of products and services.

You mentioned that your solutions have changed in recent years — when did you make the decision to start providing solutions in the cloud?

About four years ago. We attended the Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference and we heard the cloud message loud and clear. Like any tech services company that delivered traditional IT solutions, we worried that the cloud would decimate our business. After a lot of debate, we decided to go for it and invested fairly heavily. Our rationale was that whether we did it or not, someone was going to do it. We saw an opportunity to lead the way.

How did that transition go?

It was stressful, especially at first, but I can say now that it has unlocked our potential and drove our growth. Like many tech services companies, we had become accustomed to a typical four-year sales cycle for clients. As in: “Hey, it’s time for your next upgrade.” Embracing the cloud allowed us do things differently and empowered us to pursue shorter, faster, higher-margin projects that deliver more business value to our customers.

How did that change your business?

It meant our managed services business would have to grow exponentially to support cloud solutions. Today, our revenue comprises approximately 40% managed services, 40% consulting and 20% IP development. We’ve become a far more profitable and strategic firm and pride ourselves on deeper, richer customer relationships.

Did you have to hire differently?

Yes, especially in our sales approach. We realized early on that sales had to lead the process. We had to make some significant changes to our sales compensation model and hire new and more sales people. We needed teams who could really lead the conversation with customers and had the technical expertise to identify opportunities and propose solutions that take advantage of the cloud.

How do you ensure their success?

Training, training, training. As an organization, we make a major, ongoing investment in developing our competencies and achieving certifications. Our Microsoft Solution Sets alone run the full gamut. We try to hire the best and brightest and then ensure our sales people receive extensive training before they ever meet a customer or prospect.

So let’s switch gears and talk about your award. Has winning the Country Partner of the Year made a difference to your business?

Absolutely. We’ve always benefited from the credibility of being a Microsoft Partner, which is why we’ve continually invested in the relationship. Winning the Country Partner of the Year award helped take us to the next level. I can tell you that it created new and better opportunities for us, especially internationally. It gets us time with decision-makers in Canada and abroad who see the endorsement from Microsoft as a major plus.

How do your leverage your Award?

In our marketing, PR and business-to-business materials. If you visit our website (www.proserveit.com) you’ll see a big banner right on our homepage that links to our press release. And we showcase this award along with our certifications and credentials in our materials to establish our reputation and provide instant credibility.

So what’s next for ProServeIT?

We’re going to continue to invest in deepening and broadening our competencies and ensure that our activities remain razor-focused on adding more value to our customers. Our Microsoft-first, cloud-first strategy has paid dividends with our customers and helped us grow quickly. We’ve taken some calculated risks along the way, but they’ve paid off. Change is good.

Outlook を起動する際、起動時に認証ダイアログが表示されず、オフライン起動となってしまう原因の一つに、プレゼンテーション中の機能制限があります。この記事では、この動作について説明します。

現象

Outlook を起動時に認証ダイアログが表示されないため、画面右下のステータスバーには 「パスワードの入力が必要です」と表示されオフライン起動となる。

Outlook をキャッシュ モードでご利用の場合、サーバーに接続できなくてもキャッシュされたアイテムを表示し Outlook が起動可能となっていますが、その際はオフライン状態で起動しているため送受信できていないことにユーザーが気づかないことがあります。

(オンライン モードでは、サーバーに接続できない場合は Outlook を起動できません。)

原因

以下の状態であるときは、Outlook 使用時の認証ダイアログの表示は制限されます。

制限される状態の条件は、Office のバージョンによって異なります。

Office 2007 まで

■1) Outlook がPowerPoint のプレゼンテーション状態であることを認識した時

Powerpoint はプレゼンテーションを実行中かどうかの情報を Office 共通のメモリに記録します。

Outlook は認証ダイアログを出そうとするとき、この情報を確認しています。

そしてプレゼンテーション状態となっていれば、認証画面を出さない動作となります。

Office 2010 以降 ※以下のいずれかの状態

■1) Outlook がPowerPoint のプレゼンテーション状態であることを認識した時

(上述の通りです)

Powerpoint はプレゼンテーションを実行中かどうかの情報を Office 共通のメモリに記録します。

Outlook は認証ダイアログを出そうとするとき、この情報を確認しています。

そしてプレゼンテーション状態となっていれば、認証画面を出さない動作となります。

■2) OS 側のプレゼンテーション モードがオンの状態

Office 2010 以降、アプリケーション (PowerPoint) のプレゼンテーション状態だけではなく、OS 側のプレゼンテーション モードを認識して、ユーザーがプレゼンテーションを実施している状態と判断するように動作変更になりました。

OS 側のプレゼンテーション モードがオンになっている場合、認証ダイアログの表示が制限される動作になります。

対処方法

■1) Outlook がPowerPoint のプレゼンテーション状態であることを認識した時

この場合、プレゼンテーション中にも認証を出すよう動作を変更する設定はないため、回避策は Outlook の起動時にPowerPoint スライドショーを実行しないこととなります。

ユーザーが手動で実行しているときに限らず、ログオンスクリプトなどで、自動的に実行している場合なども注意が必要です。

■2) OS 側のプレゼンテーション モードがオンの状態

以下のレジストリ設定を行うことにより、Windows プレゼンテーション モードが有効な場合にも認証ダイアログが表示される動作に変更できます。

キー : HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\General

値の名前 : DoNotQueryUserNotificationState

データ型 : REG_DWORD

値 : 0x00000001 (10 進数 : 1)

参考

OS 側のプレゼンテーション モードについては、以下の公開情報でも紹介しておりますのであわせてご覧ください。

An old acquaintance, Mr. Rupert Torquil-Smythe Esq. (yes, it is he), recently wanted to know whether a certain piece of software was installed on a particular list of servers.

I asked him for the list of servers (servers.txt) and the name of the software (Python). I then wrote and ran this:

$Servers=Get-Content-Path.\servers.txt

foreach ($Serverin$Servers) {

$Found= (Get-WmiObject-ComputerName$Server-Query {selectnamefromwin32_productwherenamelike'%Python%'} -ErrorActionSilentlyContinue).Name

if ($Found) {

Add-Content-Path.\output.txt-Value"================"

Add-Content-Path.\output.txt-Value"$Server"

Add-Content-Path.\output.txt-Value"================"

foreach ($Entryin$Found) {

Add-Content-Path.\output.txt-Value$Entry

}

Add-Content-Path.\output.txt-Value" "

}

}

We end up with a text file (output.txt) containing details of each server that has Python installed.

Things to note:

• servers.txt is read and stored as a variable ($Servers)
• we use WMI to query each of the remote servers, from $Servers, in a foreach loop
• the query string is WQL
  
  • we only ask for the name property to be returned (select name is more efficient than select *)
  • % allows for a wildcard search, e.g. any number of characters before and after Python

Starting today Microsoft Intune has been integrated with the Business Store. This means that you can use Microsoft Intune to manage public store applications and silently deploy them to users. End-user won’t have to go to the public store and therefore won’t need a Microsoft Account.  

When it comes to Microsoft’s Enterprise Mobility Suite it’s possible to use the Company Portal for a uniform cross-platform experience.

On Windows, installation of the Company Portal can be automated using the Business Store which is capable of pushing applications from the Public Store. We can use this to silently push any modern app from the public store, including the Company Portal, to the end-user’s Windows AAD joined (or Domain Join + AAD registration) 10 device. End-users won’t need an Microsoft Account (MSA) to obtain the application.

You configure this as follows:

1) Browse to http://microsoft.com/business-store and logon with an administrative user in your tenant.

2) Select settings and navigate to Management Tools

3) Select Add a management tool

4) Search for Microsoft Intune

5) Press Ok followed by Activate in the bottom right corner

6) In the upper right Search Store textbox search for Company Portal, next select Get the app and afterwards select distribute later.

7) Open a new tab and navigate to Microsoft Intune via http://manage.microsoft.com

8) Navigate to Admin/Mobile Device Management/Windows/Store for Business and select Configure Sync

9) When for the initial sync to finish and navigate to Apps/Apps/Volume Purchased Apps

10) Now you can deploy the Company Portal as a required application to your user collection.

End result:

Users on Windows devices that sign in with their Azure AD account (or PIN/Passport) or domain account that has been registered in AAD will get the Company Portal added in their Start Menu without having to do anything. And the best of all: without the need for a Microsoft Account to access the public store.

On my latest project I have had the pleasure of not only designing an Active Directory structure which supports cloud adoption and the ability to secure its administration but to assist them with some basic security principles on the 'how' to provide secure administration.  There are many different threats which can compromise an environment.  Some which mean to do harm and some that just really liked to look at cute angry cats.  Whether purposeful or not, this is where it literally pays to make assumptions.

A very real threat that can be hard to prevent, difficult to detect and troublesome to rectify is the highly discussed Pass the Hash and other lateral traversal attacks.  For anyone who may or may not have heard about Pass the Hash and other types of credential theft there are two very good pdf documents available for download here

The one thing to really understand is you just don't know what you don't know.  What does that mean?  Always assume and prepare for breach.  There is nothing you can do to protect your Active Directory 100% but there are many steps you can take to give it a fighting chance. 

There is a very good article published on TechNet referencing this very topic.  Best Practices for Securing Active Directory

I will discuss just a few that customers have adopted to get them on the right track and in a different mindset.

1.  Classify your assets using a three tiered model:

a.  Tier 0 = All assets which have some form of administrative control over the forest, domains, domain controllers, elevated user accounts and groups which manage the mentioned objects, administrative workstations used to manage the mentioned objects and any other servers/services which indirectly manage the domain controllers in reference to patching, monitoring, backup, certificates and physical security.

b.  Tier 1 = Any other server or service which hosts applications whether on-premises or in the cloud, security groups and application accounts used within the applications and any other server/service which manages the servers in reference to patching, monitoring and backup.

c.  Tier 2 = All standard user accounts and their workstations and other devices

2.  Securely administer your assets:  There is a very good article describing recommended practices.  Securing Privilege Access Reference Material

a.  Each defined tier has its own set of elevated accounts and administrative workstations to manage that classification of asset

b.  Each administrative asset can only directly manage assets within its own tier

c.  Whenever possible always use consoles to manage tiered assets deployed on that levels administrative workstations

3.  Define your administrative roles by using a least privilege model

a.  Create new groups and delegate permissions defined

b.  Never assign permissions to a single user account

c.  Use technologies which will prevent elevated accounts from having the delegated permissions when not required

4.  Keep your operating systems and applications current

a.  Use lifecycle management for both operating systems for servers and clients as well as applications

b.  Keep current versions of each patched

5.  Remove elevated accounts and security groups when no longer needed

a.  Remove elevated accounts upon role change or termination

b.  Remove security groups if not used or no longer required

If you review the included reference guide links you will notice that there are many other steps which can be taken to help secure and securely administer your Active Directory.  This post centers on the few which were quickly accepted by well established customers who acknowledged they needed a change but had to digest it in smaller doses.  This gave them a great starting point to focus on and my goal in writing this was to do the same for you.  Securing your Active Directory can be a very big undertaking.  Some of the above listed steps require defining a new management process for your defined tier 1 assets and that sometimes can be a hard one to sell.  But do not get discouraged.  It may take a little time to fully sink in the importance of what you are trying to accomplish but in the end this is to help the business and not just satisfy the security teams demands.

A Quick search on web didn’t show much information on what all needs to be done for moving the infrastructure from skype for business hybrid setup to skype for business online setup. I thought of writing this blog with detailed procedure, so that it would be easier for anyone who are looking for details when they are planning to move from Skype for business hybrid to Skype for business Online scenario.

Before looking into the migration steps or procedure, lets first look at the process flow of Skype for business User sign in when in Hybrid setup.

Onpremise user sign in process (User :Onprem@domain.com)

1. User provides the sip address Onprem@domain.com and clicks sign in on Skype for Business Client.

2. Skype for Business Client makes Lync Autodiscover Query “Lyncdiscover.domain.com” which will be pointing to Onpremise Servers (as it’s a hybrid setup) and reaches the Front end server (Hybrid Server).

3. Once Request Reaches the Front End server, Server first authenticates the user and checks if user is homed onpremise or online, since user is homed onpremise, User signs in to the onpremise Front end server and server will provide required services.

Online user sign in process (User :Online@domain.com)

1. User provides the sip address Online@domain.com and clicks sign in on Skype for Business Client.

2. SFB Client makes Lync Autodiscover Query “Lyncdiscover.domain.com” which will be pointing to On premise Servers (as it’s a hybrid setup) and hits the Front End Server

3. Once Request Reaches the Front End server first authenticates the user and checks if user is homed onpremise or online, since user is not homed onpremise, it will check Hosted SRV parameter and identifies that user is homed online.

4. Onpremise server will redirect the user to connect to online Servers by providing the Hosting Provider FQDN “Sipfed.online.lync.com”.

5. User will then connect to online servers (after multiple redirects to user’s home server), which will re-authenticate the user and provide required services.

Once we are all set for migration from onpremise to Online, expect outages during the course of performing these actions (highly advised to perform these during non-business hours) as there is dependency on DNS servers TTL and Client DNS Cache.

Below are the steps to move the services from Hybrid completely to Skype for business online:

Step 1:

Ensure that all the users are migrated from Skype for business onpremise to Online

https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj204969.aspx

Step 2:

Ensure that none the Applications (Office Servers or any third party applications) are dependent on the skype for business onpremise servers or made changes to make use of Skype for business online.

Step 3:

Modify the DNS records (externally & internally) and point the records to hit the skype for business online Services

Optionally, you can delete below unused records as all users will be hosted online:

External DNS:

Internal DNS:

Step 4:

Disable shared address space on Skype for business online:

https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj994080.aspx

   Set-CsTenantFederationConfiguration –SharedSipAddressSpace $false

Step 5:

Clears resource records from a cache on the DNS server.

https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj649893.aspx

Clears the contents of the DNS client cache.

https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/%5Clibrary/jj553809(v=wps.630).aspx

Step 6:

Test the current setup for at least 2 weeks to ensure that after all the above changes, there is no issues or dependency on the Skype for business Onpremise Servers before proceeding with decommissioning of onpremise servers.

Decommission the Skype for business onpremise deployment

Brought to you by SearchEngineers@microsoft.com, the Search Health Reports (SRx), which can be downloaded here, is a PowerShell-driven tool for surfacing complex diagnostics for SharePoint Search through new multifaceted reports. The SRx includes a battery of tests that leverage a customized SSA object extended with contextual data from many disparate sources. For more information on this tool, please see our announcement here.

Below is a summary of each test in the tool (and we will continue to update this list).

This post may be used as a reference to help create or update a SharePoint search runbook.

CEWS Pipeline Toolkit

CEWS Pipeline Toolkit is a content processing framework for search that supports both Content Enrichment Web Service (CEWS) in SharePoint 2013/2016 and the Pipeline Extensibility feature in FAST Search for SharePoint 2010. The tool comes with an installer and graphical user interface. Developers may configure and test pipelines using the built-in modular stages, or develop totally custom processing using Visual Studio and the included sample projects. Pipelines can be executed offline without SharePoint installed, or integrated as part of SharePoint's processing. The CEWS Pipeline Toolkit has a low overhead, is modular, and extensible. (TechNet documentation)

Steps to install

1. Install CEWS Pipeline Toolkit
2. Open a PowerShell Script as admin and cd to the “$($Env:CEWS)\scripts” directory
3. Run the script Install-CEWSWindowsService.ps1
4. Verify the windows service is running (Sp2013ContentEnrichmentWebService)
5. Edit or copy custom configuration files (CEWS.PipelineConfig.xml, Register-CEWS.config) to the CEWS\etc directory
6. Copy the custom .dll from the Visual Studio output directory to CEWS\bin
7. Run Register-CEWS.ps1 (all crawls must be stopped or paused)
8. Verify the managed properties were created as expected
9. Restart the windows service (Sp2013ContentEnrichmentWebService)
10. Start a crawl and verify the managed properties get populated 

Steps to update the configuration

Register-CEWS.config

1. Edit Register-CEWS.config or CEWS.PipelineConfig.xml
2. Run Register-CEWS.ps1 (all crawls must be stopped or paused)
3. Verify the managed properties were created as expected
4. Start a crawl and verify the managed properties get populated 

CEWS.Pipeline.config

1. Edit CEWS.PipelineConfig.xml
2. Restart the windows service (Sp2013ContentEnrichmentWebService)
3. Start a crawl and verify the managed properties get populated 
   

Steps to update DLL

1. Stop the windows service (Sp2013ContentEnrichmentWebService)
2. Copy .dll from Visual Studio output directory to CEWS\bin
3. Start the windows service (Sp2013ContentEnrichmentWebService) 

Steps to Unregister the SharePoint CEWS callout

The only reason to run the unregister command would be to stop all custom processing. Note that this command requires all crawls to be stopped.

1. Run UnRegister-CEWS.bat (all crawls must be stopped)
