Manual Archive problem

The_Tech_Guy_2020 — Tue, 11 May 2021 12:54:59 GMT

Good Day my fellow techs,

I have this issue that I can't explain lol. but I will try!
Whenever I try to manually archive someone's emails,
I select my inbox and then select a date then select where I want

my archive to go along with a name. Then I hit ok.
The archive starts because I see it in the status bar and it says Archiving.
but then all of a sudden it goes through all the names of the folders that are below

the inbox. Then the status bar says "All folders are up to date"
So I waited about an hour to see maybe it will continue archiving without the status bar

showing anything. Well after waiting nothing happens and the archive is not working. The

storage is the same size(full).

This is frustrating, I'm hoping someone might advise and assist.
By the way, this also happens when I choose a single folder or the entire email.

Thank you in advance!

Re: Not able to attach a onedrive link from within Outlook 2016

Michaël Oliveri — Tue, 11 May 2021 12:40:08 GMT

Same thing here.

When I join a recent files, it works. It create an OneDrive link.

But when I do Attach then Browse cloud locations and choose a file from OneDrive it attach the file not the link. I can upload the file in OneDrive but it will do it in another directory on OneDrive... So no interest.

I use Outlook desktop Microsoft 365 apps.

E-mails sent to group not redirected to inbox (Follow in Inbox set to All Email and Events)

Kiril Valev — Tue, 11 May 2021 10:21:47 GMT

Dear community,

we are trying to push the adoption of Office 365 groups but this issue is just destroying the credibility of using Office 365 groups instead of distribution lists. Some users (me included) are following an Office 365 group but no emails are redirected to my inbox in Outlook. The strange thing is that it just stops working.

Is there any other setting which might prevent emails sent to groups from being delivered to inboxes?

I am pretty sure that if I unfollow the group and then follow again that the mails will start to be delivered, but I can't tell all our users to randomly start/stop following groups to ensure that they'll receive the emails.

Create a link to direct users through a new login process

Jacob_Porter — Tue, 11 May 2021 02:29:15 GMT

I need a url that will force the user to log out then redirect them to a ms online service link where they are asked to sign in again to access the form.

Needing to validate sign ins to MSO services.

The issue is with mobile devices holding logins from apps and using those logged in Microsoft accounts to access MS forms via a QR code. If the QR code is set to retrieve details from the signed in user it will collect the wrong information as the sign out process on the phone is different to desktop workstations.

So far I've tried variations of:
https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/v2.0/logout?post_logout_redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fforms.office.com%2FPages%2FResponsePage.aspx?id={form ID}

Any assistance?

Dark Mode in Word for Mac

Evan — Mon, 10 May 2021 18:56:16 GMT

Hello Office Insiders,

As we log long hours with our screens, it has become increasingly important to reduce eye strain and accommodate light sensitivity. Therefore, we’ve extended the Black Office theme to now include your document canvas as well. In our latest blog post, Ali Forelli, a PM on the Word team working on Accessibility features, is excited to show you how to enable Dark Mode and how to quickly switch between a light and dark canvas.

Thanks.

Re: ‎Can a shared mailbox be migrated into a Microsoft 365 Group?‎

Thomas Stensitzki — Mon, 10 May 2021 17:55:19 GMT

No. There is an option available for converting a classic distribution list to a modern Microsoft 365 group. The primary reason is, that the associated Microsoft 365 group mailbox in some way acts like a classic shared mailbox, but it is hidden from the administration. The object you can control is the group object. In addition, a Microsoft 365 group comes with a SharePoint site.
You must create a new Microsoft 365 group for that purpose.
But be aware that the backend process for creating the group uses the domain in your tenant that is set as default. Not every client, allowing group creation, provides an option to enter an email address of your choice. In that case, you can change the primary address afterward manually.
Here is further information that you might follow, when using Exchange hybrid:

‎Can a shared mailbox be migrated into a Microsoft 365 Group?‎

OneTechBeyond — Mon, 10 May 2021 16:11:26 GMT

We current have an actively used Shared Mailbox (call it service@company.com).

However, we now want to create a full Microsoft 365 Group called Service, and have that email address associated with it, along with the other functions of a Group (Teams, SharePoint, etc.)

How would I go about doing this? If I create the Group and name it 'Service' will M365 automatically use that Shared Mailbox and turn it into the Group mailbox?

Re: Microsoft's e-mailservers break DKIM on non-ascii characters

RNalivaika — Mon, 10 May 2021 13:42:29 GMT

So we sat Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit on the email generating app. The message got delivered to outlook inbox with Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit. But.. charset still got changed to "iso-8859-1". While the generating code specifies UTF8. DKIM body hash verificaton still failing, of course.
I am working with support of the cloudy mta provider, my suspicion is that the charset change (aka the reason for DKIM fail) occurs at the cloudy mta.

Status Bar in new email message office 365

kefirov — Mon, 10 May 2021 09:35:48 GMT

HelIo all,

to this moment, when I open outlook 365 new email message on the bottom of the screen was shown status bar. In that status bar, I have seen spelling and grammar options and that was very helpful. I don't know what I do, maybe some short command hides that status bar and now I can't find how to show it again.

Can you give me the right command to see again that status bar?

Re: Microsoft Whiteboard Announces Preview of New Templates

Jasenko — Mon, 10 May 2021 09:30:19 GMT

I need an answer to a pretty much tough question - have you guys given up Whiteboard? This article is from september 2019 and not much has happened with Whiteboard since. I am asking because we are considering moving to Whiteboard for UX and facilitation. It really looks like a promising MVP, but without further development it doesn't come near to being useful - you can't even create your own templates and lay out, say a whole design sprint up front. It's a massive limitation. On the other hand if this improvement is on the way it might be the reason for us to adopt Whiteboard...

Thanks in advance! Looking forward to your answer:).

Since you mention Content-Transfer-Encoding... I also observe in my case that the message lands in gmail with Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit, while in outlook (where dkim fails to verify body hash), it gets "quoted-printable". I am investigating if the code generating the message specifies Content-Transfer-Encoding in header.

How to Create an Azure AD B2B Collaboration Policy

Tony Redmond — Mon, 10 May 2021 08:51:07 GMT

Azure B2B collaboration is used by Microsoft 365 Groups-based apps like Teams, Planner, and Yammer to create new guest accounts. You can update settings in the Azure AD portal to stop new accounts from specific domains or restrict guests to a list of known domains. But before you go ahead and update the settings, it’s a good idea to know where existing guest accounts come from. It’s easy to create a report with PowerShell. The next step might be to remove guests from offending domains.

Purchasing O365 directly direct with Microsoft, despite O365 email through Go daddy

madphys — Mon, 10 May 2021 08:25:51 GMT

I'm currently looking to move everything over to Business O365 - I currently use it for one organisation and now wish to use it for personal business.

I have Go Daddy website and purchased email through them, from Microsoft, with a couple months left on that contract. I want to go all in on business premium but noticed when I signed up for the month free trial, using the email address, then I have to use the Go daddy admin platform (which defeats the purpose as I don't want to go through them, but use Microsoft dashboard directly) - and it would not let me use the free trial elements.

What's the best way forward? Is it a case of cancelling email and signing up with O365 once that's complete? I don't want downtime on email address for the business.

Any advice?

Your organization doesn't allow you to download, print or sync using this device.

Maff_ — Mon, 10 May 2021 08:03:59 GMT

We have started to roll out and migrate our users content to SharePoint and OneDrive and starting to notice more and more users getting the following:

"Your organization doesn't allow you to download, print or sync using this device. To use other actions, use a device that's joined to a domain or marked compliant by Intune. For help, contact your IT department."

This seems to be happening on a mix of desktop and laptops.

We have a Hybrid environment at the moment with everything being done in AD and being synced back to AAD.

So far we have tried re-joining the device to the domain, the Windows 10 Accounts Edge plug TNA.

dsrecmd is not the same for all devices with this issue also!

Can anyone offer any advice or suggestion?

Re: Fix Disconnectors error in AD Sync

Phraramond — Mon, 10 May 2021 04:22:19 GMT

As other people have mentioned these look to be objects that are not meeting the criteria required to Sync. I.e. a Group that has no email address looks to qualify as a Disconnected object, it exists in AD, is in the OU's that are designated container inclusions, but does not meet the base criteria to sync to Azure AD as it has no email address. So it see's it but it ain't syncing it.

Office 365 license elements

rjani1 — Sun, 09 May 2021 10:25:25 GMT

Hi,

When Microsoft introduces new license elements in Office 365 it turns them on automatically. For example, they recently introduced Universal Print. Is there a way I can stop these new elements from turning on automatically as a tenant-wide setting?

I have many groups with license assignments to them and new features being added sometimes complicates things especially if one does not keep an eye on the Message Center all the time.

Many thanks,

How to downgrade Word to older version with older Comments feature?

ZMeer1767 — Sat, 08 May 2021 16:32:57 GMT

Hi,

I do not like the Modern Comments interface with latest Word updates. See here:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/using-modern-comments-in-word-edc6ae71-0a2d-49fe-8faa-986f1e48136a

I want to revert or downgrade to an earlier version of Word. In order to do that, I am told that I cannot just downgrade to an earlier version of Word. Rather, I must downgrade to earlier version of MS Office 365. How do I do that?

Right now, my CURRENT version & build of Word is Version 2104 (Build 13929.20296).

I want to revert back to a March 2021 version/build: either Version 2104 (Build 13801 . . . ) OR Version 2103 (Build 13801 . . . ), whichever is older.

Pls help. Thank you,

Reinstalled Windows, missing some documents saved to OneDrive in Office 365

Architekt909 — Sat, 08 May 2021 16:25:17 GMT

I had 7 Excel documents that I made in Office 365 and they were all set to save to OneDrive. I know they got synced as I was able to share the documents and people could open them. I was also able to see them in OneDrive.

I reinstalled Windows, which of course reinstalled OneDrive and I of course had to reinstall Office 365. For some reason, 5 of my 7 Excel documents I'm able to open, but 2 of them I get a "Sorry we couldn't find <long url>. Is it possible it was moved, renamed or deleted?" What's even weirder is looking at the paths listed for the documents in the "Recent" section. The ones I can't open have a path of "OneDrive - Personal >> Documents". The ones I can open say "<My real name>'s OneDrive (Personal". I can't find the 2 missing ones in the recycle bin in OneDrive nor can I find them doing a search. So what's the deal? Why are most of them available, but 2 aren't and why do those 2 just say "OneDrive" instead of "<My real name>'s OneDrive"? Attached is a screen shot showing what I'm talking about. I put 2 X's by the files that can't be opened. All the rest can be.

Microsoft Tightens Control Over eDiscovery Limits

Tony Redmond — Sat, 08 May 2021 16:07:45 GMT

Microsoft 365 eDiscovery features will respect documented limits from May 10. The changes are likely made to conserve resources consumed by searches against the massive amounts of data now found in Office 365 tenants. The changes probably won’t affect eDiscovery investigators except in reminding everyone that the items shown in search preview are only a representative sample of what can be found by a full search.

Re: Self-service MFA changes not possible for users

Polymathic — Fri, 07 May 2021 15:30:27 GMT

I sympathize, but I think you've framed this in a way that might not be the best comparison.
Changing an MFA credential/token is arguably an administrative act, even if the user is doing it. My experience with Google has been very similar in circumstances like the one you're describing. I don't think you can compare this with a circumstance where "MFA was entirely disabled" because even your own situation doesn't sound like that. That's before we even get to questions of whether it's advisable to run with no MFA at all. Architecture is best derived from your own threat model, but these days, it's difficult to make the case that a username/password tuple is a robust credential for anything important. Part of why you'll find pretty much any competent cloud service provider requiring a little additional assurance for credential administration is that credential theft is by far the primary risk to cloud service users (and operators). MS has written volumes about that, but they're not unique.

Sorry to hear you have issues with this, we do not experience these issues. But we dont hide the office provided templates, maybe thats causing this? Tested on Word 2104.

Re: Microsoft's e-mailservers break DKIM on non-ascii characters

halfgaar — Fri, 07 May 2021 13:25:22 GMT

I dove into it a bit more. The mail client is supposed to deliver the content using quoted printable encoding, so only 7 bit ascii (alphanumerics and =). This is the 'Content-Transfer-Encoding', different from the CONTENT encoding, which can still be UTF-8 (in which case µ will be =C2=B5).

I tried specifying 8 bit as content transfer encoding, but that didn't help.

However, ultimately, the mail client is the original offender, because that apparently just dumps UTF8 bytes into SMTP.

Re: Sharepoint Online Office Template library

Pedro99 — Fri, 07 May 2021 12:38:29 GMT

Hi Tommy,

I had a support case with Microsoft recently that directed me to your post as it was very similar behavior.

I am currently on the monthly channel, version 2104 and I have issues with the Office Templates being stored in SharePoint.

I did make an intune policy to hide the "Office-provided templates" (see attachment) and configured the "Add-SPOOrgAssetsLibrary -LibraryUrl https://[tenant].sharepoint.com/sites/assets/templates -OrgAssetType OfficeTemplateLibrary". Which works as expected (I placed the templates on the root of the Sharepoint document library, so I never see the folder issue like you had)

The issue is when that there are no "Office-provided" templates, I would expect to see the templates as soon as a user clicks on the "New" section (making the templates 1 click away), but It doesn't show any templates.

To see the templates, I need to tell the users that they need to:

1- Open word

2- Go to "New" (which shows nothing the first time)

3- Click on "Home" (or some other screen)

4- Go to "New" again.

The second time they see the "New" screen, the templates magically pop-up as intended (see screenshot).

I am able to replicate this issue in different versions of office (I am on "Current" update channel but most users are on "Monthly Enterprise Channel").

It seems like a bug, but I was told this was "by design".
Do you experience the same?

Re: Is it possible to move the Search Box in Outlook to another position ?

Daveylee — Fri, 07 May 2021 09:30:22 GMT

Not only is the search bar badly placed, it's also wider than the actual clickable space - meaning that it often takes me a number of tries before I am able to type my search.

Re: Microsoft's e-mailservers break DKIM on non-ascii characters

RNalivaika — Fri, 07 May 2021 07:22:54 GMT

I am not convinced about the part that it is explicitly microsoft who breaks dkim... but your point on the character encoding gave me an idea... my issue is that messages from one mailing system get dkim=pass in gmail, but dkim=fail in outlook (body hash fail).
I decided to check and compare html source.. and found that gmail shows encoding utf-8 in html header, while outlook shows encoding iso-8859-1. bodies with different encodings would result in different hash, of course. I am investigating if the email generating system specifies encoding before sending. If it is not specifying encoding, I will check if specifying it solves the issue.

We were having a similar issue and there are two temporary fixes we found:

1. Disable Outlook Cache Mode (if your emails are hosted with local or online exchange)

OR
2. Save draft before you send the email and then continue your email from drafts folder.

O365 Admin Security Groups search bar missing when editing group members

I am sorry to hear of your experience with Microsoft Support, I know only too well what a waste of time it is reporting anything to them - they have no powers to escalate anything they cannot handle and just quote "we are a break /fix team" and waste your time asking for screenshots and then at the slightest hint of a workaround will close your call without actually doing anything about it. It is disgusting that this is the support you get for a paid product.

Remote desktop server licensing

SB V — Thu, 06 May 2021 12:21:53 GMT

Hi Experts,

Our customer has a project and must choose between M365 Apps for Business or M365 Apps for Enterprise for RDS environment.

Currently it is about 300 users, potentials seats will be upto 1000 users.

Customer sees benefits in both license models (M365 Apps for Business and M365 Apps for Enterprise) and would like to use both.

They’re looking at session based computing (RDS or Citrix) and wants some users with M365 Apps for Business and some users with M365 Apps for Enterprise. During the installation of office on RDS we have to choose in the XML file (Office Deployment Tool) whether we want to install Enterprise or Business.

Questions:

When we look at Shared Computer Activation on RDS, can we use 1 installation of office (M365 Apps for Business? Or M365 Apps for Enterprise?)
Can we let the users work with 2 different licensing SKUs so that we can mix both USER license models?
Are there any other installation model can we leverage during installation (choosing XML - ODT) apart from M365 Apps for Business premium and M365 Apps for Enterprise because Business standard doesn't work with Shared computer activation?

Any guidance would be of great help!

Thanks in advance!

Re: Microsoft 365 network connectivity test tool now with report sharing is released to preview

woelki — Thu, 06 May 2021 09:49:37 GMT

I have now utilized the new tool for the first time and I like the overall usability.
But I'm missing one important, but simple feature. The naming of the reports.

I'm just having strange Office issues (no ProPlus client) at a customer and I try to figure out if there might be some connectivity issues. So I'm testing from different clients, domains and locations. Sometimes with the same user.

Unfortunately the only attribute to recognize different reports is the timestamp.
Therefore it would be nice to set a name for a report if you are logged in.

Why Messages in Your Exchange Online Inbox Are So Large

Tony Redmond — Thu, 06 May 2021 09:40:39 GMT

Exchange Online assigns large mailbox quotas to users. These quotas are needed to cope with the volume and size of modern email. What used to take 2 KB in 1996 now consumes 60 times more. And while email is more graphical and prettier to look at, you’d wonder if the value of the actual content has changed much, if at all.

Emailing from QuickBooks using Outlook Issue

ProTectPlastic — Wed, 05 May 2021 22:46:00 GMT

We use Office 365 and QuickBooks Desktop Pro 2019 and ever since 4/16/2021 (just now noticed this was happening) When I email (which uses Outlook) an invoice or a paid invoice or a purchase order (probably other things too, but these are what I send on the daily) from QB, I click on email like normal and when my outlook (using Office 365) opens the email msg it automatically populates with the QB default message (like normal) and I go in and erase all of it and do my own personalized email message (been doing this for many many years) and send. I just happened to have to go in my sent folder in outlook to print out the attachment of a PO I'd emailed and noticed that the email message was back to the default QB msg. I went back through my sent emails and found that on 4/16/2021 is when it started doing this, all previous emails before that date were just fine with my personalized messages. My computer IT company says it sounds like a QB software issue and after reaching out to QuickBooks, they are saying to contact Microsoft. I have also gone in and did a repair to Outlook and to QuickBooks and still have the same issue. So here I am.... reaching out. Anyone else having this problem and how do I get it fixed?? It's driving me crazy!!

Email Settings after hack

Hi guys. So my Microsoft exchange business email acc got hacked a few weeks ago. I was able to retrieve it and re-secure everything (scanned for malware and changed pw’s etc). BUT the hackers activated a setting where certain email contacts of mine (clients) are blocked from my main inbox; emails that they send me do not show up in my normal inbox. I have to search the clients email address and then I can find emails they recently sent me. Does anyone know how to fix this. Thanks!

365 Project issues

BillM3319 — Wed, 05 May 2021 19:13:02 GMT

I have a client that uses 365 for Office, Mail, Project and multiple users.

We had to reload a windows system with win 10 and all went well, reloaded Office with no issues and Project would not load. Tested the user profile and on other systems and it would not load either. So not hardware or Windows setup. Other profiles of same company reload Project no issue so proved it to be a 365 cloud profile issue.

Called 365 support. have now tested with 5 techs. always trying to prove it is my hardware or setup. wasted many hours with these guys . Have to get grumpy to get a manager assigned who states I will give daily updates. That was a week ago and no updates. This user has not had Project now since April 9th. ZERO support and no where to turn too .

Does anyone have any suggestions of who to ask for escalation as I am getting no where . We have been down for almost a month and support does not care. No support or customer care line at Microsoft to call and calling the help desk just starts it all over again and get no where..

I hope Microsoft management reads this and I will be pleased to hear from them as their product support really stinks when there is a real problem in their network..

Regards

Bill
