Is there a way to deploy a Word Web add in via GPO on premise.
The user should see the add in directly in the start pane.
We have already set the trusted catalog via GPO for the manifest and it is working, but found so far no way to show the user add in automaticly
Thanks
GPO doesn't provide anything for that. You can read about possible ways in the Deploy and publish Office Add-ins article.

everybody.
We have just successfully migrated from ADServer 2019 to ADServices.
We have a single custom process template that is used for all Team Projects. After migration, each team project has its own Process Template, as expected.
However, as all migrated Process Templates are equal, I would like to group all Team Projects in a single Process Template.
In order to do that, I do these steps:
Go to Organization Settings
Select Process
Click on one of my hosted process templates
Click on "Projects"
Click on "..." and select "Change Process"
A pop up appears, where I can select the target process I like to change. It's important to note that all hosted migrated process seems to be avaliable for the change.
When I select another hosted process, and click "Ok", the message "The feature is disabled. Contact your Azure DevOps Server administrator." appears and the change can't be done.
I have been looking how to enable this feature with no success.
Has anyone had this situation?
If is not possible to do that, is there any way to import the future changes of my process template via command line, in order to update all my team projects ?
Thanks in advance for the help.
Regards,
Alba
We evaluated this situation with MS and the answer is that there is no way to make this change of process template between team projects belonging to different hosted process template, even though the process templates are equals.
As we cannot change our Process Template to hosted process by now, our solution was making a script using AD api, in order to make a bulk update of all process templates for all our team projects.
See https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/azure/devops/processadmin/processes/import%20process%20template?view=azure-devops-rest-6.1
From the screenshot, you were trying to change the process used by the team project from a hosted xml to an inherited process. For your scenario, you need to
cloned your Hosted XML process to an inherited process.

Does anybody know if it is possible to prevent a user of Azure DevOps from being able to see code on the web interface and force to checkout locally in order to see it. I am looking this feature in Team Foundation Server 2015 as well.
Does anybody know if it is possible to prevent a user of Azure DevOps from being able to see code on the web interface and force to checkout locally in order to see it.
To achieve this, we could set the access level of that specify user as stakeholder.
In this case, that user do not have permissions to see code on the web interface:
To checkout it locally, we could provide a PAT, which have permission access the repo to the user, so that that user could use git command line to checkout it:
git clone <repo>(https://<PAT>#dev.azure.com/<OrganizationName>/MyTestProject/_git/TestSample) <directory>
Besides, this method should also work for Team Foundation Server 2015.
Update:
is it posible to just restrict view of code on the web for a user with
a visual studio subscription, the porblem is that an stakeholder might
be very limited...
The answer is yes. Go to the Project Settings-> Repositories-> Add a specify user and set the Read permission as Deny:
Then we could not acess the code on the web UI:
We are working on maintaining Sharepoint-Online themes, page layouts, styles (css, html, images from masterpage & siteassets) in git repository & continuous integration of changes to Dev, UAT & Prod environment. This is just the start of Sharepoint work. We will use VSTS for managing all these work. My question is:
1- We have some custom templates (html & css) specific to company & some templates provided by microsoft as part of sharepoint. We were planning to maintain only custom templates in git repository & not microsoft provided templates (because we are not going to change in m/s templates.). Can anyone please suggest whether this is as per microsoft guidelines.? Is there any standard documentation provided by microsoft for organizing these files in source control ?
2- How to maintain testing environment for development changes ? Should we go for Sandbox approach (which is deprecated for sharepoint-online) or follow the approach mentioned in https://sharepointologic.blogspot.com/2017/01/sharepoint-online-continuous-delivery_17.html ? We have different site collection for Dev / UAT & Prod environment. If going through second approach then to verify every change, developer need push code to site collection. What is the best approach suggested by Microsoft ? I found a useful link but not able to decide : https://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/82781/how-to-setup-development-and-uat-for-sharepoint-online-multitenant?newreg=cc9cc6db7e64476ca7b26e246f29b30b
Please suggest
First question. Yes, you can put it into your git repository since you've already subscribe the service and paid for it.
Second question. This article provides step-by-step instructions to create a dev/test environment that includes the four different types of SharePoint Online team sites for the Secure SharePoint Online sites and files solution.
Team sites including:
Organization wide team site
Project 1 team site
Marketing campaigns team site
Company strategy team site
You can review Office 365 dev/test environment for more detail.
We have this VSTS online account, and we want to see a list of all mapped workspaces of all users in one place.
We know that we can go to each developer's PC and use tf.exe workspaces to get the list of workspaces on that machine.
But we need to do it without going to each developer's PC. The reason we need this is that we suspect some team members use their credentials and map a workspace on a machine outside our company's environment, without our permission.
Is there a way to see all mapped workspaces in one central place?
The easiest way is to use something like Attrice TFS Sidekicks. It should work with VSTS, even if it doesn't say it does.
However, the more permanent solution is to set up conditional access in your Azure AD. That allows you to add restrictions so that your users cannot log in from outside your network.
(I know it's an old post, but researching for my own purposes...)
Extrapolating off of how to remove TFS workspace mapping for another user
The following worked for me:
>tf.exe workspaces /collection:https://contoso.visualstudio.com/ /owner:*
I am running a mobile service with an increasing amount of scripted functionality. I want to have these scripts somehow stored in a smart format for version control. I'm having hard time finding any information on such scenarios. Is it even possible Azure -> VS2012 (and TFS) or VS2012 (and TFS) -> Azure?
Currently that is not supported on the portal itself. You can do that by using the Command Line Interface, however, as was shown in this blog post. Basically, you can store the scripts in whichever source control system you want (the post uses Git, but it would work with TFS as well) and use the CLI to update your service whenever a new version of the script is checked in.
You can also vote up the source control feature suggestion on the UserVoice for the system, to have that functionality implemented in the service itself.
You can now link your Azure Mobile scripts to a git repo directly from the Azure Mobile Portal Dashboard, allowing you to edit scripts from VS2012 or another editor.
