New bloggers

In 2019, we welcomed Bastiaan Arkesteijn as a new blogger on the DirTeam.com / ActiveDir.org Weblogs. Bas has created several blogposts on his blog on Azure AD Identity Protection, Valimail and some of his Exchange migration tips and tricks. It works in his tenant. Make it work in yours, too!

Top blogs

Traditionally, at the end of the year we round up all the pageviews. This year the following pie chart emerges:

Top blogs in 2019

The above pie chart doesn’t include roughly 1.5M pageviews, that served the index page and the main feed for the DirTeam.com/ActiveDir.org Weblogs. These, of course, all pointed to the content in the blogs themselves, so they are irrelevant to the pie chart.
