Hi all, I have a problem I bumped into in excel and went to the excel discussion board to see if I could get help. I have had some answers that don't work and when I tried to reply to these people one out of maybe a dozen of my replies got published. None of them had personal info or bad mouthing or anything like this I am trying to figure out why they don't get published so I can solve the problem. Any help will be appreciated. Regards, Larry
D365 Licensing vs Security Roles – Why can users access data without the required license?
I am working as a Power Apps developer in a Dynamics 365 environment that has the Field Service module enabled. In the same environment, some users only have Sales licenses. I assigned a security role that provides read access to the Warehouse table to a user with a Sales license. The user is able to access and read the data successfully, even though they do not have a Field Service license. This makes me unclear about how licensing is enforced in Dynamics 365. If security roles alone can grant access to tables, how do licenses actually restrict functionality? Why is it necessary to purchase additional licenses if users can still access data through security roles? Could someone clarify how licensing enforcement works in this scenario and what the best practice is?Microsoft Showcase School and MCE Vouchers...
Hello Microsoft Tech Community, My name is Diogo Azeredo, and I am the STEAM Coordinator at escolaglobal, a Microsoft Showcase School based in Portugal for over ten years. We recently became aware that Microsoft had sent an email informing us about the possibility of requesting new vouchers for MCE (Microsoft Certified Educator) exams — up to two per educator — free of charge, until March 15th, by completing a form. Unfortunately, due to a network intervention at our school that affected our email services, we did not receive this notification in time. By the time we were informed, the deadline had already passed. Given these circumstances, I would like to kindly ask if there is any possibility to still request these vouchers, or if there is an alternative way to access this opportunity. We would greatly appreciate any guidance or support you can provide on this matter. Thank you very much in advance.
Question About Events, Azure, Copilot and Microsoft widgets
Hello! I am overly enthusiastic to learn more about this company, and I saw three events I'd like to attend in person as I cannot do anything online, I apologize. Does anyone know if there really is this Microsoft event on March 6th in Redmond? If not where is it as It is not coming up on the list or I cannot find it. I searched for azure events and about three came up, but after I scroll and the mouse timer comes up, nothing appears, is anyone interested in describing more about azure technology to me and how it works? I'll never tell! My last question is there is an event bsides seattle, I'm so confused is it at a hotel and how do you register because it's not listed on this platform. I wish I could do the online events like this was training, but it's better to do things in person always because it's more authentic. I tagged this as avatar, if you do not know anything about me just my love of tech what would my avatar be?
Watermarks are not visible in WOPI edit mode.
Hi everyone, I’m currently working with a WOPI-integrated document and noticed something that doesn’t align with expected behavior. When the document is opened in edit mode, the watermark is not visible. However, it does appear correctly in reading mode and is also present when the document is exported to PDF. From a document control and review standpoint, the watermark should ideally remain visible during editing as well, especially if it conveys important information like confidentiality or draft status. Has anyone else encountered this limitation or behavior with WOPI integrations? Is this by design (for example, due to how the editor layer renders content), or could it be influenced by specific configuration settings, document formats, or the WOPI host implementation? Any insights, workarounds, or recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Intune remediation scripts, schedule detect scripts
I would like to run a detection script every 180 days. The detection script runs the command dism /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth. If problems are found, a remediation script should run. The remediation script also runs the command dism /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth. The problem is that detection scripts are executed every 24 hours. This is too frequent for most of my detect scripts. According to Microsoft: “The Microsoft Intune Management Extension service gets the scripts from Intune and runs them. The scripts are rerun every 24 hours.” And: “When you configure the assignment of a script package, you can define how often the remediation runs using one of the following Schedule options.” Source: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/intune/intune-service/fundamentals/remediations When I check Monitor → Device Status, the oldest Last run timestamps are only two days old. When I check IntuneManagementExtension.log or AgentExecutor.log, I can see that the same detection scripts have been executed multiple times within the last 24 hours. My schedule is set to Daily, with an interval of Repeats every 180 days. I originally thought this would cause the detection script to run every 180 days, but even Copilot insists that this setting only limits how often the remediation script is allowed to run. I don't understand the logic behind this. Why not set the interval for a detect script and then run a remediation script? Why run the detect script every 24 hours and then skip the remediation script is it's run past 180 days?
How to prevent SharePoint “Members” from approving documents?
Hi everyone, I’m facing an issue with the Content Approvals Teams feature in a SharePoint document library. I noticed that a user who is only a Member of the SharePoint site was able to approve a document, even though they should not have permissions to do so. The approval went through successfully, which is not the expected behavior. I would like to block site Members from approving documents and ensure that only a designated approver (or a specific approvers group) can approve items. I have already checked the Content Approval settings and Versioning Settings, but I’m not sure what I’m missing in the permissions configuration. My question: What is the correct way to configure the library or site permissions so that Members cannot approve documents? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
