Duplicate Organizations & Users in Microsoft Teams (mac)
systemsmaven From what I can tell, EVERY member owns a unique Organization that was created automatically when they set up their account.
The individual users don't seem to have the ability to delete their duplicate organization from the Manage Org menu:
We were hoping to use this as an alternative to Slack, but this seems pretty buggy.
Oh no... from the write up it looks they'd all have to call MS to have the orgs removed...
It really does work great once you've got it up and running. It sounds like your initial implementation went a little sideways. My company has about 100 teams for all different purposes, (departmental teams, project management, cross-functional groups, we even have a Dungeon and Dragons team and a Book Club)
systemsmaven The biggest frustration right now is that it was a system generated action that created all of these duplicate Organizations by default during the user creation process. Users couldn't create their accounts without entering a company name, and the company name was automatically used to create an organization.
We got an error every time we tried to invite a user and then create an account (both Mac and PC users) so there may be a bug that hasn't been addressed yet.
Doubtful that every single team member is going to follow through and call Microsoft (seems like a weird approach?) so I think we're going to be stuck with them for now. Thanks for your help!
I am actually having the same issue. Yes, I am using the free version and on Mac. This has created two accounts on the same email address.
When yesterday, I had an interview using TEAM. It caused some confusion and very inconvenient to workaround. As you can imagine, it's a job interview. It just turns my nervousness into a panic. It would be easier if Microsoft able to allow us to edit/update/delete access. I think these are all basic necessities.
What happened if I get sued by my old company for using their company name, just because I can't change them? I hope not.
I hear ya, hopefully, at least some do call in. It's funny that when you create a new O365 tenant you can't use a company name that's already in use. We actually have the issue where one of our resellers may have created a test tenant with our software name so now we as the owners of the company name can't use it. But.... Teams free can have a bunch of organizations with the same name. LOL
Good luck to ya and happy to help! 🙂
