Bookings - No more notes or extra fields available
Hi there and happy new year to all. Starting from mid-december, we are facing an issue with our company Microsoft Bookings: basically the custom fields (like address, notes and so on). The book page will just ask for Name & Surname, E-mail Address and Phone Number. On our Administration back-end, the Customer Notes fileds is greyed out (you cannot enable it), and all the custom fields disappeared, you have just the standard ones. We have this issue in all our different booking pages, and all the services are affected. Any hint about this? Thanks!
Issue with Outlook (Microsoft 365)
Hello. I've an issue with Outlook when it's synchronising with server (receiving with pop.proximus.be). When I do Send/Receive, I show the mails but the synchronisation never finishes. It's stay blocking at last mail. However, I can see others mails synchronized and can open open them. I recreate my profile without success. What do you suggest ? ThanksGenerate a Weekly Report of Role Assignments
This article explores how to use Entra ID audit records to create a weekly report about role assignment additions and deletions. After deciphering the information contained in the audit records, it’s easy to generate a report showing who made the assignments and if any critical role assignments are in the mix. We can then email the report to interested parties, all with some relatively simple PowerShell. https://office365itpros.com/2026/01/21/role-assignment-weekly-report/
My microsoft account got hacked: Need actual support (Not copy and pasted ones)
My account got hacked, i dont know how but im sure 2fa is turned on and hackers still got in. I dont understand why there wasnt any emails about it going through my email that someone logged in in my microsoft account. I had things connected to that account such as school and some game like minecraft. Currently my java minecraft is non existence and is deleted from minecraft forever because i cant find it in namemc, but my xbox gamer tag is still alive so it also confirms that it indeed had an association with my account before. The hacker changed the email of my account that cause my email to be non-existence in the microsoft system. (This is very huge flaw of microsoft, i hope before we do any changes in the account, it is first confirmed in the email address if this email should really be added to that microsoft account) But i do have evidence that it was indeed associated with it before the hacker change the email and its even confirmed by microsoft website, i also got the full email of the hackers email that was used on my account. I tried everything from contacting support to the account recovery form. But nothing works, i tried cursing the fake email of the hacker that was currently occupying my account, but recieved no response. I am in dilema on what to do now, this account has been with me ever since my email was created. I just hoped that i get it back, i could provide evidences. But its been getting ignored apparently.Privacy option infinite loop
I have a problem that has just started with all Office 365 Apps. 1. I start the app, e.g. Outlook. 2. A privacy popup appears asking me if I want to send optional data or personalise my experience. 3. I select no to both options & click next 4. I get a message saying that I need to restart Office to apply the Privacy changes? What changes? 5. So I close Outlook. No other Office apps are running. Go back to step 1! This goes on forever. I just want to turn these option off. The fact that Office needs a restart suggests to me that these options are on by default & currently I cannot actually turn them off!Practical Graph: Find Large Mailbox Items with the Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK
Server-side filtering is always best when PowerShell retrieves items from the server. In this article, we explore how to construct a server-side filter to find large mailbox items over a certain threshold. The answer lies in filtering against an old Outlook property. The Graph represents the property through the single value extended property resource. But how do you filter against such a thing? https://practical365.com/find-large-mailbox-items/Managing External Sharing in Microsoft 365 Without Chaos
External collaboration is no longer optional. Vendors, partners, clients, and contractors all need access to files, Teams, and sometimes even entire SharePoint sites. Microsoft 365 makes this easy—but too easy if it’s not governed properly. Unchecked external sharing can quickly turn into chaos: sensitive documents shared with the wrong people, anonymous links floating around forever, and zero visibility into who has access to what. The good news is that Microsoft 365 provides powerful controls to balance collaboration without compromising security. This article walks through how to manage external sharing in Microsoft 365 effectively, with clear technical steps, best practices, and real-world governance tips. https://dellenny.com/managing-external-sharing-in-microsoft-365-without-chaos/Synchronizing Security and Microsoft 365 Group Memberships
An article from 2018 uses the AzureAD and Exchange PowerShell modules to synchronize membership between a security and a Microsoft 365 group. The idea is to enable collaboration for the members of the security group. This version does the work with the Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK. The code is better and it will work as an Azure Automation runbook, which is always nice. https://office365itpros.com/2026/01/20/group-membership-synchronization/
