o365 programs not recognizing Jabber for tel: links
I'm trying to set Cisco Jabber to be the default application in Win11 for the tel: protocol, specifically for Excel. The first time I tested this, clicking the link opened correctly in Jabber, but every time afterwards pops open a blank Edge browser. Swapping the default program to Teams or Skype for Business works fine, but breaks again as soon as I swap back to Jabber. The default is correctly listed as Jabber in the registry under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\callto\shell\open\command. The issue seems to be limited to Office, I've tried tel: links in PowerPoint and Word with the same results but trying a link from a web browser correctly opens Jabber. Anyone have any ideas as to what might be going on here?Copilot in Excel Turning Data Nightmares into Insights in Seconds

An assembly clash happens when a PowerShell module attempts to load a .NET assembly only to find that a different version is already loaded in the session. Unhappily, this kind of thing happens far too often with Microsoft 365 modules, which implies that there isn’t a great deal of coordination between different development groups. All you can do is to load modules in the right order. https://office365itpros.com/2025/09/24/assembly-clash-microsoft-365-ps/
Outlook group contact reappearing after removal
One of my users has an Outlook group with 15-20 contacts in it. A terminated user's email address refuses to be removed causing email bounce backs. When removed from the group and refreshed the contact reappears after changes were saved. Keep in mind that other contacts have been added and removed without issue. I have attempted to remove the user via desktop app and OWA. Cleared web cache, cookies, etc. Account has also been fully deleted from 365 at this point yet the contact remains. How do I banish this contact?What's the biggest challenge your small business is facing with technology right now?

A change to a Graph beta API meant that some data used to create the user password and authentication report was no longer available. An update was required for the PowerShell script. The experience underlines the truth that developers should not rely on the Graph beta APIs because the APIs are prone to change at any time as Microsoft moves them along to become production-ready. https://office365itpros.com/2025/09/23/password-and-authentication-report/Poor reporting capability
I'm finding the flexibility of exchange online protection and reporting in general to be terrible. I'm trying to get a report of cases where people have clicked a link that was later determined to be malicious. Including links, we have manually determined to be malicious and later zapped those emails. I have kind of done this in threat hunting however I need to run a query that starts older than the 30 days in threat hunting. Of course I don't have these going into sentinel or anything, so the data is gone. Someone suggested reports but I can see how or if there even is a way to report clicks on malicious links (based on them being later determined to be malicious and zapped). Any suggestions?
Approvals in a SharePoint document library
I have enabled approvals in a SharePoint document library: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/approvals-in-lists-document-libraries-2bd0954d-5797-4be3-b78a-846f26338e17?utm_source=chatgpt.com However, the approval status resets itself to 'Not submitted' (after the approval request had been approved or rejected) in a few minutes. What is wrong? How can I fix this? (there are no changes in the version history) I has worked for weeks, the problem started last week. And - if anyone here is an expert on this in-buildt function, do you know if there are any known issues with folders and 'enabled approvals'? I have experienced that it does not work within document sets.
