Dynamic group based on custom security attribute
Can anyone answer this question. Can or should i be able to create a Dynamic group filtering on a customer security attribute. Yes I know you can filter based on extenstionattribute1-15 however i have noted that accounts create in Entra don't appear to have the option to view extension attributes plus these come from an on prem created account. So the questions are: Can I create a dynamic group using a custom security attribute and if so how because the custom attributes don't show up in the Property options when creating the dynamic group query How can I add to the extension attributes for non on prem sync accounts (accounts created in Entra)lfk73Jan 13, 2025Brass Contributor3Views0likes0Comments365 App Sign in & Edit Issues
Hello, I am attempting to edit a word document saved on OneDrive. I have the 365 app. The document opens and states I cannot edit unless I sign in. When clicking to sign it, it then states it cannot put my personal email (which is what the subscription is under) I need to put a work or school email and if it doesn't work then to contact said work or school. However, my subscription is my personal email and I am logged into the app with my personal email. I'm confused and need support please! Exact wording opening document: "This account does not allow editing on your device. For an account with full access, contact your organizational out your subscription plan" **For reference: I have frequently used my android phone for editing documents Exact wording when signing in: "We couldn't find a work or school account with that email address"13Views0likes1CommentM365 User export CSV format changed
Has anyone else noticed that the format for the "Export Users" feature in the Microsoft 365 admin center changed? It's missing some columns (fields) and no longer has a delimiter between the Licenses. This makes using this file for license reviews impossible.SolvedJinsengHJan 12, 2025Brass Contributor445Views2likes9Commentscant open a excel 365 file
I have a company that emailed me a excel 365 file that I cant seem to open. I have an older version of excel and it meets my needs but wont properly open the file. When clicked on the download it opens my excel software but file is unusable. I set up a 365 online account but cant figure out how to open that file. The file extension sent to me ".xlsx". The name of the file is"Copy of Labor Rate Analysis w access cost (1).xlsx". What am I doing wrong? Help!

Error: "We couldn't log on to the incoming (POP/IMAP) server...
Running Office 365 Outlook on a Lenovo laptop and Windows 11. Hey All, I have successfully installed multiple Gmail accounts to Outlook on two different personal computers [Computer#1 (C#1) and Computer#2 (C#2)]. I am trying to install Gmail account #3 (GM#3) on my new computer (C#2) but failing. It is already installed on C#1. As a test, I just uninstalled and reinstalled on C#1 without a problem. Both computers are Lenovo laptops. I have tried the advanced options "set up my account manually", including both Gmail the and IMAP options with the same result: I get the Error Message: "We couldn't log on to the incoming (POP/IMAP) server. Please check your email address and password to try again." The troubleshooter says "Outlook desktop (MAPI) is disabled for this user's mailbox." (My little bit of research into gmail indicates that MAPI does not support MAPI.) Where I think the trouble started: In the process of installing GML#3 on C#2, I flubbed up. I had a Chrome window open under a GM#2 account and during the installation I opened a Chrome window logged into GM#3. I think (but am not positive) the Chrome's Outlook verification procedure seemed to start in the GM#2 Chrome window and finish in theGM#3 chrome window, but it was not successful in Outlook. Most solutions I have found involve deleting the account from Outlook and starting over. However, the GM#3 account has not been installed in outlook so there is no account to delete. Each time I go to install GM#3, it searches for accounts and provides GM#3 as an email address for me to select. Either automatically or manually, it does not prompt me for a password and there is nowhere I can find to confirm the password is properly entered or change it. Because Outlook seems to be holding on to information about the account and password, I conclude it has some information on GM#3 in cache or somewhere in the system. I did a complete delete of all the local Outlook cache (the process I followed indicated this would not delete information that has already been moved to the server--appended to the end of this message). On C#2, I have also deleted all the email accounts and the Outlook profile and reinstalled them but it still seems to hold onto the GM#3 email address and I assume the password (since it never prompts me for the password). As near as I can tell the settings for the GM#3 account on the corresponding Google Chrome account are the same on C#1 and C#2 -- but I have not checked every single one of them (checked "Labels" and "Forwarding and POP/IMAP" settings) Grateful for any solutions/clues/thoughts! Jim INSTRUCTIONS I FOLLOWED TO CLEAR THE LOCAL CACHE Exit Outlook and Skype for Business. From theStartmenu, chooseRun. In the Run window, type this path in the Open box "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Outlook\" ClickOK Find the .ost file and rename or delete it (you may need to Show Hidden Files and Show Extensions to see the file) Remove the following files: any .xml files, any .nst files Open the RoamCache folder and delete all items Open the HubAppFileCache folder and delete all items Open the Offline Address Books folder and delete all items Open the 16 folder and delete all items Restart OutlookSolvedJimS_57Jan 10, 2025Copper Contributor15KViews0likes17CommentsHow to copy the location from an existing calendar item
Subj says it all. I created a calendar item with the location no problem. I needed to make more calendar items using the same location, but I cant for the life of me figure out how to copy the location data. Clicking the location opens a subform that lists the address however there is no way I can find to copy it. I ended up typing teh address in notepad so I could copy/paste into the calendar invites. What am I missing? Or is this another "improvement"?PhxHousing-501Jan 10, 2025Copper Contributor201Views1like2CommentsNewly created Rooms aren't showing up for booking
Hello, We have a few other active meeting rooms, that weren't created by me. That work. I've created another one, based on all the settings from the working rooms. But regardless of what I try, they aren't showing up for booking. Microsoft Support suggested checking the GAL, which wasn't the case, and have now stopped responding to the case. I can see the room listed with the others both within the Office 365 and the Exchange admin modules. It's also showing up in the Outlook client with the other rooms in the People > Directory > All Rooms list. I'm at a loss on what to try now. Any help would be greatly appreciated.Solved987Views0likes4CommentsAll About the Office 365 for IT Pros GitHub Repository

Hello, I am attempting to edit a word document saved in OneDrive. I am signed in to Microsoft with my personal email where I have a full access subscription. Upon opening the document the app states "This account does not allow editing on your device. For an account with full access, contact your organization about your subscription plan". I attempt to sign in and it states "We couldn't find a work or school account with that email". **For reference I have used my Galaxy phone many times to edit documents. I'm not sure what the lost connection is now.

I am using powershell to read the lastlogontime so that powershell can revoke the license if lastlogontime > 60days, now I have several questions: is the lastlogontime the right parameter to judge this email is alive or not? why unlicensed email accounts can send/receive emails while lastlogontime >60days and license revoked? are there any best practices from you guys to judge active/inactive of email, remove license & block access?StanleyHaoJan 10, 2025Brass Contributor8Views0likes1Comment
