Use PnP PowerShell to Find SharePoint Document Libraries with Default Sensitivity Labels
I usually reach for the Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK when I need to automate Microsoft 365 processes. But sometimes, the Graph doesn't work. PnP PowerShell is a great tool for interacting with SharePoint Online, in this instance to check document libraries to find how many have a default sensitivity label configured. The code works, it's reasonably quick, and it's an example of how flexible PowerShell can be in dealing with Microsoft 365. https://practical365.com/default-sensitivity-label-pnp-powershell/Data Stored Location
Hi All, I have a question regarding the location where data is stored when I first sign up for Microsoft 365. Is there a list of available locations? Is there an option for data to be stored in Indonesia? Because what I checked on my current tenant is in Asia Pacific. Thank you,O365 - EU and China
Hi Worldwide Org - based in EU - they have a Tenant - and are about to migrate all users personal files from fileservers to OD4B - (into the EU data center) However there's a subset of users that resides in China - and apparently there's some China regulations saying data "must" reside inside China - (china users connection to the EU Tenant/OneDrive are very slow) so how do I solve this "architecture" in the best way possible? Multi-geo is not an option as China aren't supported. Does the Company create a SharePoint Farm in China and let the users in China have their OD4B on that - what about collaboration on documents, ediscovery etc. etc. between EU/China users in those scenarios? Does the company create a separate Tenant inside China and initiate the B2B capabilities in the EU tenant? How have others solved this?Time to Review How to Preserve Ex-Employee Data
This week’s Microsoft layoffs provide a timely reminder to review how to retain and secure ex-employee data. OneDrive for Business might be the biggest challenge because of the variety of application data that now ends up in user OneDrive accounts. Agents and Flows are also an area of concern, as are objects like apps, phone numbers, and recurring meetings. https://office365itpros.com/2025/05/16/preserve-ex-employee-data/
I can't add an O365 email to Outlook desktop client but I can access it from the web
I can't add a O365 to Outlook desktop client but I can access from the web This a weird thing, whenever I try to add in Outlook from File > Add Account I get the message "Something went wrong and Outlook couldn't set up your account". From Control Panel > Mail > Email accounts > New > Manual Setup > here I put the email and gets stuck at "Searching for... Settings" and then " An encrypted connection to your email is not available, click Next to attempt using an unencrypted connection", so I do that and get the error "We're sorry we couldn't set up your account automatically. To try setting up the account yourself click Next" which is basically the same. Everything works fine in the browser, any ideas on this?
Microsoft Places Analytics - Missing data
Hi! I'm looking to hear if anyone has succesfully configured Microsoft Places Analytics according to the guidelines here: Microsoft Places Analytics - Microsoft Places | Microsoft Learn I've reached out to Microsoft Support several months ago regarding this but the case has not progressed at all unfortunately when it comes to actually reaching a solution. I'm struggling to get enough data to show even though the following is OK: All buildings have analytics enabled The name of the building matches the attribute "Office Location" in Entra ID. A mail-enabled security group is used for assigning permissions to Places Analytics (as-per the requirements). All users of the above group have Teams Premium I'm mostly focusing on the building analytics here since that one is most interesting for us. Example of charts with missing or incomplete data: The above one shows nothing even though it should be fetched from the work location in conjuction with the leader's organisation data. In the above chart it's succesfully mapping the headcount of the number of people that have set their work plan with a chosen building, however it's completely ignoring the "remote" parts. Also ignoring the people that have no work plan set but do have the same Office location as the building name - which it should fetch from according to the "?" button: It's even more clear further down in the same "?": In my case it's ONLY showing the ones with a work plan set and with the actual building in question set. It's the same type of issue for most of the data but I believe that solving it on one end will solve the rest. So I'm really hoping there's someone else out there that has succesfully configured Places Analytics and might shed some light on what my configuration might be missing. Thanks!
New Outlook - can we get the view 3 lines shown in the new outlook?
I have tried to get the view 3 lines of UNREAD emails in the new outlook and the web version and it is just not possible. Do you think Microsoft 365 will bring it back in the next release? this helps so much when I need to skim many emails that came in overnight (as I work in a global role) :-)Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK V2.28 Attempts to Restore Stability
On May 10, 2025, Microsoft released V2.28 of the Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK in the hope that the new version would fix a bunch of annoying problems that have dogged the SDK for several months. The first few days haven’t revealed any new problems and bug reports are being closed, so the signs are positive. But do test before deploying V2.28 into production. https://office365itpros.com/2025/05/15/microsoft-graph-powershell-sdk-228/
