MS Teams inconsistency
For the past few days, there have been continuous reports regarding issues with Microsoft Teams remote sessions, particularly with content sharing and voice quality (e.g., breaking audio). Does anyone have insights into the root cause of these issues? I’ve received several messages about this but have yet to find a definitive solution.
Email Approval
I am the admin for Office365. I have one employee who gets an email from outside the agency that comes to me for approval. This address has been whitelisted. I have checked the employees settings. I do not find a cause. Again it is only from one particular person. It is a Yahoo account but others come in with no need for approval. I'm at a loss.
Incomplete SPF record for O365?
I've an odd email SPF issue. I'm receiving email from an organisation with O365 hosted mailboxes to an organisation not hosted in O365. The non-O365 organisation is correctly rejecting quite a lot of the O365 organisations email due to an SPF fail. The SPF record for the O365 organisation correctly references spf.protection.outlook.com but the emails being rejected are coming from Microsoft owned IP addresses that are outside the range of the addresses listed forspf.protection.outlook.com. The common theme is the SPF rejected emails all appear to be affecting O365 mailboxes that have an auto-forward to the non-O365 organisation. I initially thought it was an issue with Sender Rewriting Scheme, but the fact remains that email is coming from a Microsoft ip address outside the range defined byspf.protection.outlook.com. An example of one of the ip addresses that suffers the SPF fail is 40.95.64.60 (mail-vi1eur05rlyn2067.outbound.protection.outlook.com). Other email, not autoforwarded but just sent from the O365 organisation, is accepted as it is sent from MS ip addresses inside the range defined by spf.protection.outlook.com. From what I can tell, this means the O365 SPF range is not covering the full range of IP addresses that O365 sends email from, which ought to be corrected by Microsoft. Any thoughts welcome.

The Microsoft 365 user profile card offers users the chance to record and playback name pronunciations, if tenant settings allow. The new setting is controlled by a Graph API and turns name pronunciation recording and playback on or off for the entire tenant. Microsoft says that helping people pronounce other peoples’ names properly is a good thing. It will be interesting to see how many use this feature. https://office365itpros.com/2025/01/17/name-pronunciation-profile-card/
Email alert when roles are adjusted
Hi all, I've had a look around but can't find anything up to date that would help my issue. What we're after is an email alert whenever a 365 role is changed (user added or removed). Looking in Defender, there's only an alert for an Exchange Administrator change. Is there anyone who has something in production that would do this job? Kind regards Tom
EOP and user digest messages
I'm setting up antispam policy as I migrate to EOP. I have a pretty standard policy, everyone gets the same settings not one is special and has more relaxed or more restrictive antispam rules. However I do have only a limited group who receive user digest messages not everyone. When setting up my antispam policy I see you can apply it to users groups or all but I don't see that you can only send digested to set users\groups. Does this mean if I want a digest sent to one group only I need two policies that are basically the same (one with digest and one with not) and apply the policy with the direct to the group that receive the digest and the other policy to everyone else? If that's the cases my next question is there a way to copy an antispam policy into a new one? It will take ages to create a new one exactly the same (long story why it just does).
Ads on Outlook for IOS
Hoping someone here can point me in the right direction. As of this week, I have been receiving ads in Outlook on both my iPhone and iPad. I have an active subscription to MS 365. I even deleted the account and Outlook then reinstalled. I have used MS 365 for years and never experienced this issue with the IOS apps. My sister-in-law who has her own MS 365 subscription is also experiencing the same thing on her devices. No ads appear on the PC version. We both use Comcast/Xfinity for our mail service if that helps. Thanks in advance for anything you can do to assist. BobMicrosoft Launches Copilot for All Initiative
The Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat app is the free to use chat app available to commercial Microsoft 365 customers. The free chat app now supports Copilot agents, including agents that are grounded against Graph data (on a pay-as-you-go metered basis). The free chat app is highly functional and Microsoft hopes that it will convince customers to buy the full-fledged Copilot. https://office365itpros.com/2025/01/16/microsoft-365-copilot-chat-jan25/
Setup CatchAll-Mailbox for specific domain in Exchange
Hi, I want to introduce a CatchAll-Mailbox, meaning that all messages sent to non-existant recipients shall be redirected to a specific Mailbox. The basic idea is to introduce a rule that redirects all incoming messages and make an exception for recipients who are member of a Dynamic Group that contains all existing Mailboxes. To prevent exchange from instantly blocking the message and instead process the rules, i set the Accepted Domain to internal relay. Now i want to make this whole thing domain-specific, meaning it should only apply for unknown recipients of specificdomain.com. I tried to introduce a recipient-matches-pattern-condition but that didnt work. How can i set this up?
