Overview

As an inSync Cloud administrator, you can enable alerts to manage and monitor the status of your Microsoft 365 app. You can generate and view reports and get insights into the ongoing activities on your app.

In addition, you can perform the following tasks to manage OneDrive backups.

Enable alerts for monitoring app status

After you have configured inSync with Microsoft 365, you can choose to receive alerts whenever the Microsoft 365 app status changes. For example, alerts when Microsoft 365 is not connected.

  1. On the inSync Management Console menu bar, click the bell icon. The list of all alerts appears under the Active Alerts tab.

    Rollback Considerations:

    You cannot rollback OneDrive if:

  • The user or profile is already deleted. To rollback, you need to rollback the deleted user or profile first.

  • The user's profile with which the device is associated is changed. To roll back this OneDrive , you need to change the user's profile to the previous one.

  • The active license limit of the user with which the OneDrive is associated has reached the threshold. Contact Support to procure additional licenses.
