Office 365 Admin Usage Reports All GUIDs All the time...

In my tenant the OneDrive and SharePoint Usage reports on Office 365 Admin Center (newest version) is displaying GUID links and GUID username rather than the human comprehensible data.

 

Example: "Site owner" : "[PII:H101(TLQB7b12eF+wrhXUxljRIasPiZTFmQiRjm09Khev5+Q=):E243(bF+sGeBqHCnTA7sxqQNHOK/uD5IFVCt0j+m+LuwNAHYvob+T4ITlgHfG3z0yQeOMK44XsDDb0fSiB0PwxYd3Tg==)]"

 

I have a ticket entered for Microsoft Online Support, but since it typically takes a few conversations with them before they even understand the issue rather than trying to through back at me the first two solutions they managed to google based on the first words out of my mouth after hello, I though I would query the group.

Is this happening out there or is it just my tenant.

 

Service Health seems to only be reporting an issue they caused with the "classic"/"old" version of Office 365 Admin Reports.

Thanks. James

    Hi All ,

     

    You can resolve this issue by following these steps:

    1. Go to http://portal.office.com.
    2. Go to Settings, Services & Add-ins, and then Reports.
    3. Disable the Display anonymous identifiers instead of names in all reports setting.

    Hi everyone,

    Our DLP reports still show the GUID instead of the file location in Sharepoint and the Last Modified user.  Are others still having any issues with the GUID?

      Thanks, all. This is a seperate issue and we're working with Mark to investigate and solve.

  • For my part, this was resolved as part of SP92913 - SharePoint and OneDrive usage report issue on Feb 8, 2017.

    Hi, has been like that for a long time? Propably an update unfinished or gone wrong. Give the MS Team a headsup. Also could you make a screendump for us?
  • Yeah, I'm seeing the same for the ODFB report. Looks like the "Display anonymous identifiers instead of names in all reports" setting is taking effect even though it's disabled :)

     

    Anne Michels can you check on this please?

        Seems like base64 encoded values for the UPN and sites, probably signed with some key as I cannot decode them :)
