I’m relatively new to Groups in Office 365 but would like to see how we can take advantage of this. One question I have while playing around with this-
How do you monitor the SharePoint site footprint of all the sites(site collections?) created through Groups. I don’t see the listing back in SharePoint online list of site collections. I guess structurally this comes from Exchange so I understand it but would be nice to be able to view it somewhere.
Use a search query!!
You can create a maintenance page in your environment and drop a Content Search Web Part on the page.
Edit the web part and charge the search query.
Go to Advanced Settings for the query
Use “local sharepoint results” as your result source.
add this contentclass:sts_site WebTemplate:GROUP to your query text
Test your query!
I just wrote a blog post on it. http://www.aerieconsulting.com/blog/how-to-get-list-of-sites-created-by-office365-groups
Thanks a lot for your input, Beau!
I like this solution. Simple but effective.
