How to search all groups from within Outlook
Hello, looking to migrate our current Public Folders to 365 Groups. From within Outlook (Classic) our end users can search all Public Folder content (Emails). In Groups it looks like you cannot search all Groups for content, you can only search one Group at time. In the Outlook search options we have tried All Outlook Items, All Mailboxes, etc. but nothing seems to work. Just curious if anyone had any suggestions or recommendations or is this just a limitation? Thank you!SolvedSCOC_1969Mar 17, 2025Copper Contributor46Views0likes3CommentsOwnerless group policy broken?
Between November and January, ownerless group policy was broken - users received a 500 error when responding to accept / decline ownership. That was resolved a few weeks ago, but it seems to be malfunctioning again. Users can decline ownership, but when they attempt to accept ownership they are getting an error message 'We are unable to complete that action right now. Please try again later.' Is anyone else using ownerless group policy seeing this?DaveTheTeamsGuyFeb 21, 2025Iron Contributor157Views1like6Commentsdynamic group based on assigned license
Hi, is it possible to create a group with users based on a assigned license? So i want to include all users into this specific group who has e.g. an E3 license assigned, but not an E5. It seems, that the only way is to use the a ServicePlan name, not a SKU name, isn't it? Even better would be a dynamic membership rule based on the SKU, not on a ServicePlan. What i tried to do: 1. Get-MsolAccountSKU to find out the SKU name 2. Created a dynamic group without knowing which syntax to use :D 3. Used this dynamic membership rule as a workaround: (user.assignedPlans -any ((assignedPlan.service -match "NAME") -and (assignedPlan.capabilityStatus -eq "Enabled"))) (I found the ServicePlan names via Get-MsolAccountSku | Where-Object {$_.SkuPartNumber -eq “ENTERPRISEPREMIUM”} | ForEach-Object {$_.ServiceStatus} Thank you ina advance.

Hello Microsoft 365 Community, I am experiencing an issue with the Outlook Web App (PWA) when using Microsoft 365 Groups. Specifically, the "You are not replying to the latest message" banner is not appearing when replying to older messages within a conversation thread. Context: We use Outlook PWA exclusively. This issue occurs only in Group conversations, not individual inboxes. Conversation View is enabled with messages sorted by newest on top. ShowNotificationBar is set to True for the affected group mailbox. Troubleshooting Steps Taken: Checked OWA Settings: Verified Conversation View and Notification Bar settings. Cleared Browser Cache: Performed hard refresh and cleared site data. Tested Across Browsers: Issue persists in Chrome, Edge, and Firefox. PowerShell Configuration: Confirmed with Get-MailboxMessageConfiguration that: ShowNotificationBar = True ShowConversationAsTree = True Service Worker Reset: Unregistered and refreshed Outlook PWA. Environment Details: Outlook PWA (Progressive Web App) Microsoft 365 Group Mailbox Expected Behavior: When replying to an older message in a conversation thread, Outlook PWA should display a banner like: "You are not replying to the latest message in this conversation." Actual Behavior: The banner never appears, even when replying to messages that are several days old. Has anyone else encountered this issue or found a workaround? Thank you for your time and assistance! Best regards, Noe Chavez AGL ForwardingNoe_Lee_ChavezFeb 16, 2025Copper Contributor15Views0likes0CommentsOutlook groups - how to send emails from Groups
Hi, Is there a way to send emails from Microsoft 365 groups similar to distribution groups/security groups? I need to use a specific group to send emails rather than individual email addresses I have added the email address to my "From" section but it says I do not have permissions to send from the specific group. I own the group and can't see any option in the group to add permissions so looking for advice on what to do next? Thanks, Áineainekavanagh66Jan 16, 2025Microsoft580Views1like4CommentsCalendar items not sent to new members of group
Hello, I have created some calendar items in outlook that are sent to a group. Whenever I make a change in that group (either add or delete members) this calendar item is not updated. This means that new group members do not receive an invitation for existing meetings. What I need to do to resolve this, is to edit each such meeting, eg make a change in description, and then send it again. Only this way the new group members will get invited. I come from Google, where this feature works flawlessly and it seems very strange for outlook to force me to update each calendar item, just to update the recipients. It kind of defeats the whole purpose of using groups in calendar. Is there any way you can fix this please? Thank you! KostasCombining Office 365 E1 with Microsoft 365 F3
Hello there, One of our customers has free Office 365 E1 licenses as they are a non-profit organization. As they need Enterprise Mobility and Security and had a special price for M365 F3, a good solution would be to add a Microsoft 365 F3 license to that same group of users to add functionality but it seems that this is not possible. I can however not find any resource that confirms that. Can anyone confirm if this is possible or not and where I can find some documentation on this?LieveGDec 18, 2024Copper Contributor97Views0likes1CommentHow to remove the Welcome Message when a new member joins a group.
We are moving from an on-premise Exchange 2013 environment (using Hybrid) and we have to move our DLs to the cloud. I can create them through powershell as a distribution group, but that does not write back to our local AD (using AADConnect). So using the Unified Group commands, I can create them and they write back. The problem is the welcome message. We are not ready for users to use the extra features of the groups, plus we have users that are a part of several hundred DLs, based on what customers they take care of. I see the attribute WelcomeMessageEnabled, but am unable to change that to $False. I have also tried using mail rules to delete the message based on content in subject or body, but again no go. Does anyone have any way of turning these off? This will create a huge helpdesk and support nightmare if I can not turn these off. Thanks, Jason.SolvedJason HoppOct 24, 2024Brass Contributor161KViews0likes36CommentsOutlook Group Can't Reply All
I have created an Outlook Group Email, but when the recipients receive the email, they are not able to "Reply All." The reply only comes back to me and not the entire group. How do I change this so they can respond to everyone in the group?PTHOLDRENOct 18, 2024Copper Contributor312Views0likes1Comment
