There is a pretty simple workaround though for clearing out users from Yammer\u00a0who have left the company\u00a0(credit due to <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/alanpurchase\">@AlanPurchase<\/a> for working this one out):<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>From the Network Admin view in Yammer, export a .CSV file with all the users in the network.<\/li>\n<li>Open the .CSV file in Excel and filter on the state field to show active users and\u00a0on the\u00a0email field to include domains that you are interested in (for example, I only wanted those in our UK organisation).<\/li>\n<li>Cut and\u00a0paste email addresses into a new email in Outlook, then use\u00a0Ctrl+K to resolve the names against the Global Address List. Anyone that isn&#8217;t in the GAL\u00a0will not have their email address resolved.<\/li>\n<li>In Yammer, remove each of the users\u00a0that are no longer in the organisation &#8211; you have the option to remove their posts or leave their posts and remove the account (more details in <a href=\"https:\/\/support.microsoft.com\/kb\/2820235\">Microsoft knowledge base article 2820235<\/a>).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>GPS Track Editing<\/h3>\n<p>I&#8217;ve blogged before about how I log all of my bike rides, runs, etc. &#8211; it&#8217;s sad, but I like to see where I went on a map &#8211; and to know how I performed.\u00a0Every once on a while, things go wrong though &#8211; like one time last summer when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.markwilson.co.uk\/blog\/2014\/06\/finally-gave-in-and-bought-a-garmin.htm\">my Garmin<\/a> suddenly <a href=\"http:\/\/connect.garmin.com\/modern\/activity\/556162973\">decided I was\u00a0several miles away and the route I was following became nonsense<\/a>.
