Get-Holiday -Identity Christmas – best wishes from CodeTwo

Posted on December 23, 2019 by Jacek Szafran

Holiday season is upon us!

It is this time of the year again when all work slows down to a halt in anticipation of Christmas. In this festive time, we would like to wish you the happiest of holidays and a huge stack of presents underneath your Christmas trees.

Although we are also celebrating this magical time, we will be available to you until 4 PM CET on December 24th and then from 11 PM CET on December 26th. On New Year’s Eve we will be at work until 4 PM CET and then we return to our desks at 11 PM CET on New Year’s Day. Still, our back-end support and monitoring team will be available 24/7, as always. But don’t worry, we’ll compensate them with a constant supply of pierogies and borsch!

Happy Holidays and a Bug-free New Year from CodeTwo!

Office 365 migration delivered in a conversational way

Posted on November 5, 2019 by Jacek Szafran

Once every couple of years, there is a time when a considerable number of Exchange server admins begin to seriously consider migrating mailboxes from their on-premises servers to the Office 365 cloud. This usually takes place when the end of support date is approaching rapidly for another on-prem Exchange server, just like in the case of Exchange 2010 at the moment. Or when a new Office 365 datacenter is introduced, just like recently in Germany. Contrary to popular belief, migrating mailboxes to Office 365 doesn’t have to be an overwhelming task. If you don’t believe it, you surely haven’t read J. Peter Bruzzese’s “Conversational Office 365 Migrations” or used CodeTwo Office 365 Migration yet.

How to disable Read Aloud in Outlook and Word

I’ve recently stumbled into quite an annoying problem in desktop versions of Word 2019 and Outlook 2019 regarding the Read Aloud functionality, which I needed to turn off. As you may already know, Read Aloud is a neat text-to-speech feature that, as the name implies, is designed to read the text from your Word documents files or Outlook emails aloud. So, what’s the problem here? Well, first of all, I don’t use it. However, it often happens that the program starts reading my text even though I don’t want it to. This happens because I accidentally turn this functionality on with the Alt+Ctrl+Space keyboard shortcut (e.g. if I miss the Ctrl+X or Ctrl+C shortcut).

In this article, I would like to share my solution on how to disable Read Aloud in Outlook and how to remove the shortcut key in Word that turns this feature on.

Starting October 31, 2018, the support for Transport Layer Security (TLS) versions 1.0 and 1.1 is discontinued in Office 365. This means that TLS 1.0 and 1.1 will still work, but Microsoft will not provide support in case of connection/compatibility issues.

For this reason, we have updated all our software that connects to or otherwise interacts with Office 365. To avoid possible issues in the future, we recommend that you update your software to the latest version. Continue reading "CodeTwo products with TLS 1.2 support released"

CodeTwo Exchange Rules Pro is a powerful and user-friendly tool for Exchange organizations. It was designed to help admins with their everyday tasks related to email flow control and signature management. The role-based access to certain rules and features of the program makes it also possible to delegate specific tasks to different departments or employees, such as marketing, information security officer, data protection officer, etc. That way, the program can also be used to run marketing campaigns or ensure compliance with the company’s procedures and legal regulations.
