2GuysAndSharePoint

We interrupt your regular programming. Wait, what? Did you say those 2 Guys from SharePoint are back? WHAAAAAT!!!! Yes, we are back! The Modlin has now recovered from fatherhood and has found time in his day to record hopefully weekly. And naturally AL is amped. We cover all the new Microsoft Teams features and some SharePoint ones too. Grab it now!!!! WE.ARE.BACK.

This is your captain speaking. The 2 Guys and SharePoint ship has docked and the boys are back!! In this weeks episode, they take a look back on 2019, what was good, what was bad, what they enjoyed and what the did not. They also talk about 2020, and as always, cover the latest Office 365 announcements. Plus!! Rod has brought back the "PowerShell Commandlet of the week"! Super exciting stuff!

Another Fortnight, another episode. This could actually work. (AL snickers in the background). AND finally after repeat and failed attempts, we managed to get D'arce Hess on the podcast. (4th time lucky). AL chats to her about the shift in User Experience in SharePoint and what she is doing currently. As always, we smash out some news because this is a SharePoint show afterall. Hit the subscribe button people, you know you want to.

We are on every fortnight, not on FortNite. And that is not Phil's pic. And apparently AL's interview is the best audio we have received from him yet. We chat to Phil Worrell about what really goes in when working on a cloud migration, what to look for, what the pitfalls are and how to remain sane. As always, we bring you all the news from the last week and also Rod's epic "insert segment name here" segment!

And we are back!!! Feels like a new season of The Grand Tour! Maybe we should do seasons? Well its good to have AL and Rod back in the studio after Rod has been on daddy-daycare. AL managed to catch up with Darrell Webster and Loryan Strant at this years Digital Workplace Conference in Australia to chat about the state of their O365 DC. As Always, we bring you all the M365 news and views as well!

Our first real episode of the year! Just AL and Rod, getting excited about SharePoint. We nearly fainted after seeing all the coolness being released for SharePoint. We talk events, the new SharePoint Modern features being added as of last week and as always, the usual news, more news and then Rod does he stuff about Flow or PowerApps or whatever he talks about.

Kicking off this year, we rounded up, well almost had to pay our guests to come on the show to discuss what is in store for 2019, the year of the pig. Who better to do predictions about the direction of all things Microsoft than Warren Marks (The Heckler) and Brandon Botes (Man Crush Monday). Suffice to say, Rod and AL did well to keep this episode under 900 minutes.

For those who do not know, at the end of every episode, Rod adds what he calls the blooper. Its the little things that we may say on the show that he edits out so that the listeners only get the quality that Rod deems necessary. This is a compilation of the best bloopers of 2018. Give it a listen and then go find the other bloopers at the end of most episodes! Welcome to 2019 people!

And just like that, 2018 is over. #SadPanda. Also, in a rare coincidence, Rod and AL got to record this episode together in person!! We take a walk down 2018's memory lane and cover what we felt were the highlights of 2018.

We continued to abuse AL in his travels and got him to sit down with Erica Toelle at SharePoint Saturday PR. AL and Erica talk Records and Information Management and also grabs Erica's views on where the Microsoft world is heading. As always, we cover all the latest news. This week we looked at some cool Teams dev stuff and also the v2 of the SharePoint Migration Tool. And Rod does his Flow (meh) things.

On more of AL's travels, that we exploited, he found himself in San Juan with none other than Paul J. Swider. We should have spread Paul's interview over 4 episodes cos there's pretty much nothing that he doesn't know. We talk to him about the state of SharePoint dev and a ton of other stuff. As usual, In The News, a few retirements and Rod decided to talk about Kaizala because he changed his segment yet again!!

We flew AL to the mothership!! Who are we kidding, he was just there, in Seattle, so we sent him out to do stuff. Anyhow, he tracked down the guy driving the Teams Dev conversation, Jace Moreno. Jace shared with us his thoughts about where it is all going. Teams that is. And then the usual News stuff with a new take on Rod's original segment, now called The PowerShell Power Hour (In 4 minutes).

For the first time in the history of 2GAS, we have a non-SharePoint guest on the show. The DevOps Ninja/Surfer, Ruaan Erasmus. We chatted to him about his view of the developer world. Not that AL understood a word he said. We carry on covering the news from Ignite and also talk about the new org wide Teams functionality. Rod apologizes for the sound. Now that one arm is firmly holding his baby, only one hand gets used for editing.

We are happy to announce that our host, Rod Modlin is the proud father to a baby boy, hence the delay in usual programming. We wish him all of the best, in this new sleep deprived world he now lives in. Back to the program. Our resident traveller, AL, headed to this years Microsoft Ignite to grab all the news about SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, Azure, etc and we cover all of them in this weeks episode!

We are Back!!! After a Hiatus, Rod and AL are back to "full speed ahead". We are still working through apps for the best audio so no guest on this week. AND in this weeks show, we talk about... drum roll... Teams is free! Yes, Free. Soo much of Awesome. AND, Groupify is finally here. Lastly, some hardware news, the usual Flow stuff and lots of the same goodness!

A year in the making, we finally, finally managed to track down Heather Newman for this weeks show. Apparently, not even a blizzard could stop her from delivering everything that's fantastic about SharePoint and Office 365! You are our 2GAS Maven! We also talk all things new to SharePoint Online this week as well as some more feature parity between Skype and Teams. AL and Rod are still fighting over PowerApps and Flow. Will it ever end??

We are celebrating Women in IT this month and second up is Liz Sundet. All we can say is WOW! This woman has 4 lifetimes of accolades, certificates, etc. She plays over 9 instruments and then still drops some mad SharePoint and Office 365 skills and is now learning BI. We are not worthy! We also talk hub sites, the Common Data Service, Guest Access for Planner, Teams retention policies and Rod ONCE AGAIN schools us on all things PowerApps and Flow, and much much more.

We are back to regular programming with our first guest, the formidable Swetha Sankaran. AL caught up with her at this years MVP Summit. What a great inspiration she is to all women who want to get into Information Technology. As always, we cover the news, and this week we talk about new Teams updates, Hub sites finally rolling out and a ton of AL's favourite stuff, Azure Information Protection. No Blooper at the end of the show though...

Its the first month of the new year (Cos Jan was v2 of 2017) and Microsoft is still churning out quality updates. Will it ever stop? Al and Rod cover new Teams updates, much to the horror of generic users. They delve into cool Planner features and Office 365 for Education. As always, Rod pushes the boundaries of his friendship with AL through tons of PowerApps and Flow stuff. Catch AL and Rod live from Tech Summit in Cape Town this week.

We didn't think they would last beyond episode 30. It's official, 2 guys and SharePoint have 52 episodes in the bag! Here's to another 52! Anyhow, back to regular programming, Rod and AL talk about the new OneDrive Files Restore, Bulk Metadata editing for SharePoint Online, some guidance information for Teams and Rod continues to do more PowerApps things. Apparently it annoys AL. Thank you one and all for listening to the show!

We are back!! Happy 2018 everyone! Although, it feels very much like v.2 of 2017. Never mind that, we are excited to get the first show out. Its just Rod and AL in the "almost studio". You will notice the sound quality problems as the sound proofing kit has not arrived yet. In this week, we cover new Flow Analytics and Connectors, more PowerApps stuff, and then more Flow connectors. And as always, the regular news updates since we were last on air.

And in this final show of the year, we caught up with the consultant previously known as The Cloud Mouth, Loryan Strant about his view on all the bits of Office 365 and the cloud. In the news this week we cover mobile notifications, Shared with ME tab now available in Word, Excel and PowerPoint and much much more.

The Timezone debacle. AL hooked up with some peeps in Australia and got the zones mixed, hence the lack of a guest on this weeks show. Besides, Rod and AL can actually do a show without guests!! In this show, we cover resources for IT Pro's wanting to skill up on Office 365 and Azure, Azure Migrate, Document Metadata in SharePoint Online, Office 365 user adoption information, and much much more.

What happens when Microsoft starts cozying up to Linux? They end up converting hardcore linux people to Microsoft tech and then they start loving it and become MVP's. Warren du Toit drops some crazy Azure knowledge on this weeks show. Also, in the news, we talk about the new Compliance Manager from Microsoft, New OneDrive Flow stuffs, and much much more.

The man that bought a Garth Brooks double CD for Alistair Pugin is on the show. We chat to him about his world and where the industry is going with the new way of working with Microsoft Technologies. NOTE: Testing new remote recording software so AL's audio once again is a bit messy during the interview. We also cover all the new things this week, including Forms capabilities, Project links to Planner, the new App launcher and SharePoint Online Limits.

With October being SharePoint Saturday (well its more Office 365, SharePoint and Azure Saturday) month, Mr Booklay as he is now known, came out to SA to spread the word of Microsoft at not only the 3 major events, but also jumped on a minibus taxi with the core team to travel from Johannesburg to Cape Town, stopping in Bloemfontein, East London and Port Elizabeth. We caught up with him in Hermanus for a chat. As always, we cover the latest Microsoft news, including Microsoft Connections, Skype 4 Business and a lot, lot more

Just AL and Rod this week, but they cover soo much!! Skype, Teams, SharePoint 2019, Hub Sites, Machine Learning, Bing for Business. We got tired just typing this out. Both AL and Rod are prepping for SharePoint Saturday Johannesburg and we will be doing some schweet live streams and recording at the event. So keep checking out our Twitter page for more info!

Yes, we were at Ignite and we did a show at the Podcast center!! How awesome is that! Gran the video here! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_aloDyzUdw&t=26s So the story goes as follows: We managed to get the CEO of Metalogix, Trevor Hellebuyck and Heather Newman, the CMO of Content Panda to talk about the impact of Teams on traditional content management. As always, some news, this time announcements from Ignite. AND much much more!

9 more sleeps until the largest Technology conference on the planet, Microsoft Ignite!! But the show must go on so we went to Middle Earth to find the Orc, Darrell Webster from REgarding 365 land to talk about change and adoption. AND even before Ignite, Microsoft goes and flips the External Access for Teams!! We have only been waiting like forever for this. All millennials are rejoicing as we speak! We also cover the usual news including online workbook size limits and Rod's "Go with the Flow".

42 Episodes in. Who would have thought. Thanks to all our listeners. Without you, it would just be AL and Rod talking shop like they do all the time. We caught up with our Heckler, the formidable Warren Marks to gauge where the world of Microsoft is after the restructure announcements at Inspire. As always we cover the news, talking Cloud App Security, the new iPad Yammer app, OneNote Classroom inside of Teams and much, much more.

AL disappears to Los Angeles to a secret client but posts all over the interwebs. There's no guest this week as we lead up to the largest geekfest on the planet, Microsoft Ignite, 25th to 29th September 2017. w00t!! AND we will be podcasting live from there! Super Amped! However, the show must go on; we talk about Ignite and the lead up, we cover what little news there was, we talk MFA, SharePoint document library flows, and cover the local scene. We love our listeners. Apparently its a Millenial thing. Who would have thought.

We managed to track down the man with the greatest voice over vocals in the IT industry. None other than the infamous Chris HuntingFord. That's Ford with a capital F. Our tattoo'ed CRM God chats to us about how the technology has progressed and morphed into the Dynamics 365 icon in the Office 365 app Launcher. We also launched 2 new segments. Rod now does "Go with the Flow" instead of PowerShell and AL does something stupid called "New Features AL did not know about, of the week"... As always, we cover the latest news, including OneDrive, O365 DLP updates, and much much more.

In this weeks show, we kept it all about the latest news from Microsoft. Enter Microsoft 365. Rod and AL covers what it means, how much the Microsoft world is worth to Partners and how everything is moving at pace, to the cloud. They also talk about Azure Stack been shipped with appliances from DELL, HP and Lenovo which is very cool. As always, there's more Office 365 news, some cool updates and also SQL Server 2017 moving ahead with its first RC. Grab it now!

Episode 38, the Londoner, Matthew Hughes is on the show. AL spent the week with him at Microsoft Inspire. They chat about how media influences purchasing and his business partner Adam King takes us through his experience with the Microsoft Community. We cover the breaking news from Microsoft Inspire, including the new Microsoft 365, the new partner program and the new Business Premium Apps being released for Small Businesses, and much much more.

AL is off to Microsoft Inspire so we did a quick show this week. He also had something to say about Microsoft's new Communication Sites roll out for SharePoint Online, which we breakdown for the listeners. Also, our very first competition. We want to know from you, what your favourite SharePoint AddOn is. Our Top 5 listeners will receive our very first 2 Guys and SharePoint t-shirt later next month. Comment here or on Facebook.

Our first MCM on the show! Goosebumps. AND he is one of only 8 Exchange MCM/MVP combo's on the planet. *Big Deal*. With AL travelling to Cape Town to track down the one and only Nicolas Blank, Rod had been waiting for the interview so that he and AL could do the rest of the show. Instead Nic hijacked this weeks entire show. AL chatted to him about his role changing from traditional Exchange to more business consulting. We also cover the latest news, including a wrap up of last month's releases from Microsoft. Regular programming will continue this week.

The way the show works, Alistair does pretty much nothing except suffer from verbal diarrhea every week and Rod is left with making the show sound as good as it does. Our "Easter egg" is during the closing audio in the form of the blooper reel that Rod adds after ripping out all the nonsense. Most episodes have it. This one is arguably the best. Go scan through the others now!!

The Vlad is here people. We have him on the show! Hot off the back of the SHARE Conference in South Africa. The man with "the sexiest lisp in IT" quote--unquote, talks to us about the move from ITPro to Business Consultants and what impact he is seeing with the grown of citizen developers in the Office 365 space. We cover the Stream GA announcement this week, Microsoft Dictate and our other usual segments. Don't forget the blooper reel after the closing track.

The man with the largest, uhm, knowledge about migrations to and from SharePoint, Mr Jonty Collins, climbed into our mobile studio this week to talk about where the world is regarding migration and how we in SA compare to Australia. This week is very apt as South Africa prepares for the arrival of Microsoft Datacenters in Johannesburg and Cape Town. As always we cover the usual weekly Office 365 and other Microsoft news, and a lot, lot more.

Look ma, a new toolchain! Oh and AL is back from his EuroTrip. This week we chat to Sébastien Levert, the happiest guy in SharePoint. He has fallen in love with Intranets and wants you to love his Intranet. Makes sense that he works at Valo. We talk all things "moving to the SPFx" and also cover the usual news from the world of Microsoft.

Al is away globe-trotting, so Odd and special guest host Paul Keys talk about all the SharePoint and Office 365 news you need.

Wow, so our goal in the beginning of this Podcast show was to create shorter, more "condensible" shows. And after 30 shows, we managed just that. No guest, Just Odd and AL talking about the latest and greatest news from Microsoft. We cover all the innovations from the recent BUILD conference, OneDrive updates and a ton of other cool stuff.

Where have the months gone. This is a special Man Crush Monday edition with the only McM in the SharePoint world, Mr Brandon Robert Botes. He talks to us about the state of the Paperless Office in South Africa, and the rest of MEA. We cover SQL 2017, new Dynamics/LinkedIn integration, Office 365 Use Case Guildance, and all of the latest news.

Do you even Datacenter Bro? Is this still a thing with all of the cloudness going on? Well we find out by chatting to the only certified Datacenter guy we know, Jozua Joubert. Oh and he actually does SharePoint in real life. AND he worked in Adult Entertainment... That plus mental news about Azure, O365 Labels, new updates to Office Online Server, MS Cognitive Services and much much more.

After 27 episodes, we realized that we haven't really covered the science and theory behind what we talk about every week, Enterprise Information Management. So, EP28 is dedicated to dissecting what makes up EIM and how it applies to what we, AND you do. As always, we bring you the latest news, including Group retention, CodePlex info and much much more.

Our greatest fan, Andrew Shough, pronounce like "cough" according to his dad, finally came onto the show and wowsers... He has an Engineering Degree, is a dev and knows SharePoint and CRM. Why did we not get him on sooner. He shares his wealth of knowledge about SharePoint and CRM with us. Added to that, we cover the latest news, including a very popular feature, Product Find of the Week which in this week's show is Lanteria, an HR product for SharePoint. AND!! You can now find us on TuneIn!! Woot!

Can you believe that we are past a quarter century! In celebrating this, we do not have a guest this week on the show. We do cover all the great things happening in the Microsoft space. A.K.A. "Your weekly news digest". This week we cover, More Teams, Tech Summit Copenhagen, Tech Community information, the upcoming Azure bootcamp in Jozi, Microsoft AI (Yes, again), Bookings, and MS FindTime. How is it that even without a guest, we can still hit more than 30 minutes of stuff!

Yes, they have taken over the show. AND we love it! Two of the brightest "recreational IT" people on the planet, Melanie Hohertz and Becky Benishek talk to us about all things Yammer. Suffice to say, we go the real version, not the Microsoft version of what Yammer is and how to implement an Enterprise Social Network the right way. Amy, you were missed! We needed you to keep it sane. As always, we have news on Teams, Outages, some cool stuff for Outlook on Mac and much, much more!

New kit means working on the Interview quality. Apologies for the sound. So, we decided to talk about the elephant in the room, the elusive concept and often missed Records Management. As PoPI is being pushed into industry, most people forget about RM. Well up until the auditors show up and everyone runs scared. We cover the how, the what, and the which in this episode. As always we bring you the latest news, Teams have gone GA and Microsoft keeps pushing out more advancements into Office 365. How do you keep up??

Mr Popular, Troy Gerber is on the show this week. He drops some knowledge about his experiences in the industry. He actually went to Microsoft and then came back into the partner ecosystem. Who gives up the best email address on the planet?? And we share the usual news, which includes updates on Teams, Office Graph, SharePoint 2016 on Azure and Windows Server on ARM. Yes!! And my personal favourite, the SP Admin Bot!

The one and only "Peoples Developer". The legendary Andrew Connell is on the show! He lays down the law about development in SharePoint and Office 365 and gave us the best explanation of what the SharePoint Framework really is. And also gives us insight into where SharePoint development is going and how to get started in the space. This plus the usual news about new and exciting stuff in the Microsoft space.
