When the Invoke-MgGraphRequest Cmdlet Needs Help to Fetch Responses
Sometimes it’s hard to get a response back from running a Graph API request with the Invoke-MgGraphRequest cmdlet. Graph Explorer helps. So does reading Microsoft’s documentation for the cmdlet. In the end, everything works out and we can discover some valuable information that comes back in a response header. In this case, the response header helps us discover if a purge job works. All of this might sound quirky, but it could make a difference to your PowerShell scripts. https://office365itpros.com/2025/06/12/invoke-mggraphrequest-responses/7Views1like0CommentsSharePoint Online Dumps OTP Authentication for Sharing Links
After July 1, 2025, any sharing links generated with one-time passcodes (OTP) will stop working. Only links based on Entra ID B2B Collaboration will work. Users who lose access to content shared from SharePoint Online or OneDrive for Business will have to contact the original sharer to ask them to generate a new sharing link. Sounds like a recipe for confusion, which is what might happen. https://office365itpros.com/2025/06/10/entra-id-b2b-collaboration-spo/143Views1like1CommentHow to make Outlook reminder window pops up on top of other windows?
I remember Outlook's reminder window used to pop up on top of other windows when there's an upcoming meeting. But these days that window pops up, but buried under other windows. It still makes a chime but I often mute my speaker, also the Outlook icon at the taskbar has a small red dot to indicate something new, but it's so tiny that I often didn't notice. This made me often joined my Teams call late. How do I make it pops up on top of other windows like it used to? My Outlook version is 2306 Build 16.0.16529.20100, running on Windows 11. Thanks.SolvedBlackMiracleJun 12, 2025Copper Contributor60KViews1like6CommentsHow to create a shared company calendar for time off and holidays?
I'M LOST I have spent DAYS trying to figure out some way to provide a shared company calendar with Holidays, PTO Schedules, On-Call Schedules, etc. We just want one place to see what's going on this week, who's available, and do we have a day off this week. BASIC information. After spending more than 3 days on this, I feel more lost than I did when I started. I could create a SharePoint Calendar. This calendar doesn't sync with Outlook for Mac or Apple Calendars and, most importantly, reoccurring events don't show up on a SharePoint Events web part. I could manually create reoccurring events but I rather not. Regardless, the functionality is incredibly limited. I could create a new M365 user. This would let me see these calendar in Apple Calendars and give myself or another admin access to update events. But this calendar can't be integrated in SharePoint or Teams so it's basically invisible. I could create a Channel Calendar in Teams but that's certainly not appropriate. I could create a new Group with a Calendar. Although, we already have a org-Wide Team and it doesn't actually do anything - can't email orgteam@company.com and it doesn't come with an Outlook calendar. I don't think I should have to add someone to a group for them to see a calendar I want public to the entire company. This might be the best compromise but that's besides the point. The POINT is, WHY in the world isn't this a built-in feature that's turned on the moment a company creates a M365 tenant? WHY do I need to spend days figuring out that all the archaic tutorials from 2017 don't even work in 2021? WHY can't MICROSOFT make calendars easy? I mean, I'd settle for difficult - it's better than impossible. And, not for nothing, I look like a complete idiot (I very well may be!) when my boss asks me to do something that should take 2 minutes and I have absolutely nothing to show 3 days later. Q: What is your business doing to let you know you have Memorial day off? How are you able to see if someone has the week off for vacation? Are you using a M365 product or something else?Anthony-123Jun 11, 2025Iron Contributor76KViews8likes26CommentsHow to know if a tenant name is available or taken
If you need to know if a tenant name is available or taken in Office 365, I recommend to follow you one of the following approaches: First one is by using the following web page: http://o365.rocks/. There you will be able to do a quick check for the availability of a tenant name in Office 365. The other approach is just to use the PowerShell script you can find here: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/how-check-office-365-tenant-name-availability-aaron-dinnage Screenshots and original post here: https://jcgonzalezmartin.wordpress.com/2016/11/21/office-365-how-to-know-if-a-tenant-name-is-available-or-taken/83KViews7likes8CommentsHow to Block Ad-Hoc Email-Based Subscriptions
The old Set-MsolCompanySettings cmdlet is no more, so how can a Microsoft 365 tenant block email-based subscriptions? With the Graph, of course! Seriously, there’s no 1-to-1 mapping from the old cmdlet to a new, but some of the settings are available in the Entra ID authorization policy. We can update the authorization policy with PowerShell to block email-based subscriptions, like Copilot Studio. https://office365itpros.com/2025/06/11/block-email-based-subscriptions/7Views0likes0CommentsQuestion/Bug Report on OneNote Ruler
I am a Student from Germany and have recently stumbled upon a very annoying bug in OneNote: The scale on the ruler is bricked! Here you can see what I mean: The paper I am using is squared 5mm. The problem persists when using other sizes though. The funny thing about this is that apparently the scaling of the ruler was given some thought, since it does change the size of its scale when you zoom in or out for example. What is don´t realize is what the reference for it is? Its certainly not a millimeter scale. The option to change the scale on the ruler or changing it automatically depending on the selected unit of measurement in the settings would be very helpful and appreciated! (I have tried selecting different units in the settings but this does not seem to affect the scale of the ruler...) I think a lot of students would benefit a lot from this and from my personal experience of talking to other students at my uni, I can confirm, that this a big reason for people to switch to something like Xournal++ or GoodNotes. Especially in technical classes where you often need to draw something accurately... What do you think about this and would this be an issue that could be resolved in a future update?39Views0likes2CommentsPractical Purview: Removing Old Items from User Calendars
A reader wants to remove all calendar items over a certain age. Compliance purge actions seem like a good way to do this, but there's a problem that needs to be fixed. eDiscovery purges can do the job, but only if you have eDiscovery Premium. And then there's Graph APIs to consider. All in all, many ways exist to purge calendar items. https://practical365.com/ediscovery-purges/19Views2likes0Comments
