Combining Office 365 E1 with Microsoft 365 F3
Hello there, One of our customers has free Office 365 E1 licenses as they are a non-profit organization. As they need Enterprise Mobility and Security and had a special price for M365 F3, a good solution would be to add a Microsoft 365 F3 license to that same group of users to add functionality but it seems that this is not possible. I can however not find any resource that confirms that. Can anyone confirm if this is possible or not and where I can find some documentation on this?
Outlook groups - how to send emails from Groups
Hi, Is there a way to send emails from Microsoft 365 groups similar to distribution groups/security groups? I need to use a specific group to send emails rather than individual email addresses I have added the email address to my "From" section but it says I do not have permissions to send from the specific group. I own the group and can't see any option in the group to add permissions so looking for advice on what to do next? Thanks, Áine
Microsoft 365 Groups Public Roadmap
Is there a public roadmap for Microsoft 365 Groups. Mostly everything seems straight forward with Microsoft 365 Groups, but I have a large subset of employees who are resistant to change to Microsoft 365 Groups because the groups tab in Outlook Web will not search the files or calendar events in Outlook, will only search mail within the shared mailbox. If there is a public roadmap I was hoping to see if anything will be changing with the product or if its mainly stuck the way it is.

Change O365 groups e-mail adress using Power Automate Cloud Flow.
How can I change the email address of an O365 group using a Power Automate Cloud Flow? In particular, the suffix of the email address. The background is that we create team groups using a flow and always want the suffix of the sub-company to be used, to which the respective user belongs. (......@sub-company.de)
How to move an Email from a M365 Group Inbox to a other M365 Group Inbox in Outlook
We have replaced our public folders with M365 Groups in Outlook. For every customer project we create a new M365 Group and move the emails of the personal inbox to the M365 Group inbox. It has now happened that an email has been moved to a wrong Group inbox. It seems, that it is not possible to move this email from the Group inbox to another Group Inbox. Is this problem known and is there a suitable workaround availabe to handle it? Drag & Drop is not working in the Desktop-App or Web-App.
Group creation needed to start a campaign
Hello all - We recently were granted a trial of Amplify. I went to create a campaign and received an error message. The error message I received said that I do not have access to create groups. I did a little research and found this: Ensure Microsoft 365 group creation has been enabled for you. You can connect with your admin to check if you have the necessary permissions.Learn more about Microsoft 365 group creation permissions. Question for this group: How did your organizations get around allowing group creation for those with campaign access? Any guidance is greatly appreciated.A problem with storage space.
I have a problem with storage space. When I first registered in the program, I had enough space. Then suddenly the space became not enough. Now I am unable to open the email and I am able to use the program. Of course, I mean the program that is OneDrive. Now I can't open my personal email. Note that the program was sufficient for all the data I have now, and I do not know what has changed. May God bless him, Samra. If I have a solution to this problem, send me this email. Thank you. email address removed for privacy reasonscreate and apply retention policy (to retain data not delete) for exchange mailbox to a group?
Hi, I want to create and apply a retention policy for Exchange location to a group of users? I believe M 365 group would not work for Exchange location and policy will not work for distribution list in Exchange. So should i apply the retention policy individually to all 30 + members that I'm planning for? Any advise? ThanksAccess to Group Calendar for external guests
Hello, We have a group with a calendar. Within this group, we have multiple users. For internal members, the calendar appears just fine in Outlook and on the web. However, for external users, the calendar doesn't appear at all in their Outlook nor on the web. We are looking for a way for external members of the group to access the calendar as well. Edit: here the output of the Get-UnifiedGroup Command: AccessType : Private WelcomeMessageEnabled : True GroupMemberCount : 64 GroupExternalMemberCount : 8 AllowAddGuests : True HiddenFromExchangeClientsEnabled : False DisplayName : Global Calendar RecipientType : MailUniversalDistributionGroup RecipientTypeDetails : GroupMailbox
M365 Groups is too confusing for users
M365 Groups has been confusing for end-users for a very long time now. I think the strategy of keeping M365 Groups loosely coupled with Outlook, Engage, Teams, SharePoint from a collaboration standpoint is causing users to get lost around that question of "What tool and when?". I think it would be better for Microsoft to instead have M365 Groups tightly coupled behind the scenes in a way where users don't even know they exist. Maybe even get rid of the name altogether. I get it that M365 Groups have been around longer than many of the other apps. However, in the new "Collaboration" world we live in now, I don't really understand why anyone would create a group for collaboration without either creating a Team or an Engage community. Why would you create a group from Outlook or SharePoint? It made sense before Teams and Engage came on the scene. But now that those tools are out, Microsoft needs to simplify the messaging a bit.... Teams - for collaborating to get work done (includes calling, personal/group chat, channel conversations, team email, centralized notes, and task management) Engage - to share knowledge across the organization; break down silos and provide a platform for Q&A (includes a site to store knowledge and a social layer for discussions and Q&A) SharePoint Communication Site - to publish information to a large audience with granular permissions. (no need to even mention SharePoint Team sites anymore...those have been taken over by Teams) Outlook - for very targeted and controlled communication The M365 Group should be tightly coupled with a Team so that users can only change permissions from Teams; they shouldn't be able to go to the connected SPO site to change the SharePoint permissions; that can lead to team content being compromised without other owners/team members even being aware...then they start to distrust the safety of Teams. Users also shouldn't be able to create folders on the team connected site. That bucks the whole idea of having channel creation drive the parent-level folder structure...which can reduce visibility of content for team members. In fact, why not make it so users can't even navigate to SharePoint? Make it so everything is managed from Teams. The M365 Group should be tightly coupled with an Engage community in a very similar way to Teams. However, it would be nice if there was an easy way for community admins to decide whether or not members should be able to create/update/delete content that is stored on the community connected site. That way, you could provide a controlled knowledge base of information for consumption but still allow members the ability to have discussions, ask questions, and upload files to the social layer of the product. Same here, why not make it so users can't even navigate to SharePoint? Make it so everything is managed from Engage. It would also be nice if you could enable External Guest access on a community-by-community basis. Right now, you either enable it for all communities or disable it for all communities. For SharePoint, do away with SharePoint Team Sites. Since those come with all the collaboration tools AND a push button option to deploy a connected Team anyway, why not just eliminate this altogether and just make it so users can only create SharePoint Communication Sites? For collaboration, they would create a Team. For Outlook...it's email. Why bolt on collaboration tools on top of it? If users want collaboration, they should create a Team. I could be wrong...but it just seems like keeping all these tools loosely connected is just creating a lot of confusion. If Microsoft tightened things up a bit so that the end user experience for each scenario is from one tool instead of allowing a user to go to the Team, the team connected site, and the related M365 group, it would reduce a lot of the confusion. I'd be interested in hearing how others feel about the topic 🙂Welcome Group link not woring
Hi, I saw a similar error someone had posted awhile back with the error saying, "Your request couldn't be completed. Please try again. If the problem continues, contact your email admin." when clicking on the welcome email to join a group but I couldn't find a solution that fit what I would need to do. I shared a screenshot and covered the name of the group (for privacy reason). Is this a result of an invalid link? I am not sure what I would need to do to resolve the issue.
