Sympraxis Consulting

This is a special and fun episode of Ask Sympraxis as we celebrate five whole years of laughing, learning, and growing together in the Microsoft 365 ecosystem! Back in April 2020 - early COVID times when conferences were canceled and seeing people in person became a distant dream - we decided to start this series. At the time, it felt like a small thing, just a way to stay connected and talk shop, even if it didn’t get much traction. But here we are, five years later, and not only is it still going strong, but it’s also taught us more than we ever imagined. A happy side effect, indeed! This episode looks back at our top 10 episodes on YouTube (check out the list in the resources), and, to our surprise, the #1 most-watched episode is Migrating from Stream Classic. Who knew that would hit such a chord? It turns out the more evergreen topics really hold their ground, more than whatever the buzzword of the moment might be (yes, even you, Copilot).

Microsoft’s recent announcement about changes to OneDrive licensing has significant implications for organizations managing unlicensed accounts. These changes, which began taking effect on January 27, 2025, mean that unlicensed OneDrive accounts - those associated with users who have had their Microsoft 365 licenses removed - will either be deleted or incur storage charges. The transition period for these changes extends until May 16, 2025, and will be applied to tenants gradually.
