How can we paste markdown into one of these posts, to get formatted text?
Pasting markdown into the text entry box does not create formatted text. It just puts in the characters that the markdown is using. Publishing does not convert it to formatted text. The Help icon in the formatting bar gives a pop up with three tabs, one of which is for Markdown Syntax. Which strongly implies that markdown is a supported format. Markdown is VERY commonly used and a straight paste is incredibly useful.
Root DFS and ntlm hardening
Hi all Recently we have tried to harden our NTLM. After applying some settings the access to the root of our domain has become intermittent \\domain.co.uk but all the namespaces as well as symbol etc I der the root are working fine and can be navigated to without an issue. DCs have now been applied the same settings which are send LM and ntlm and use V2 if negotiated. The issue is intermitted as it it will work on a DC and then stop and then work again. Similar is on the end user devices. We have on prem DCs and all devices are in tuned and entra joined. We are hybrid but we do not sync or write the devices to ad. Replication and DFS itself are healthy. Issue are some users who have AFS paths already mapped to their devices it fails to connect to them sometimes. But new mapping works. Any ideas or assistance will be appreciated.
Mailbox automatically Pinning every new incoming email - Desktop and Mobile
I have a user that, whenever they receive a new email, that email will automatically pin to the top of their inbox. We have tried to recreate the outlook profile Adjust and create mail rules to not pin emails Modify settings within webmail Remove all flags and all disable all setting pertaining to flagging and pinning Reset customization reset nav panes reinstalled office Tested in the "new outlook" On the mobile side, Deleted all mail profiles Installed the outlook app instead of the ios mail app made sure he has no specific mailbox retention or policies that would apply a setting like this This issue has been going on for months with no sign of being fixed. pretty much nothing at all has stuck and the issue persists. I am a systems admin, so i have the ability work on this from the backend. My entire team is just at a loss with this issue.
Using a Proxy outlook address, but still got "too many times user name or password".
Hi all For months I was getting the dreaded "too many times user name or password" and a check of attempt "sign ins" showed numerous attempts to sign in from IP addresses all over the world. In other discussions and internet search it has been suggested A) Create a Proxy address only known to me (done) B) Make this new Proxy address the only way to sign into Hotmail Microsoft (done) C) Check to see if the original address is no longer recognized as a valid address, so that no attempt to sign in be even be attempted (done) Yesterday morning in my first attempt (previous successful attempts were during the day before) to sign in I got the "too many times user name or password" to an address nobody else knows exists? I tried several times yesterday to all receiving the dreaded "too many times etc" Obviously I have been successful to sign into Hotmail (and this community) today, though I don't know if it because of time passed and/or clearing of cookies and internet data? So my primary Questions A) How could I possibly be locked out to a Address no one else on the planet, except outlook knows about? B) If there was something my PC could have done to inadvertently trigger the "too many times etc" error by mistake? I am running the current up to date versions of Windows 11 and Norton 360.Mailbox automatically Pinning every new incoming email - Desktop and Mobile

I am a VM in Q&A (Office) and have been a participant here in the Word Community for some time. Recently I've notice the tag "In Review" on my posts. Here is an example: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/discussions/word/dynamic-pages-in-mail-merge/4531584/ What does this mean? Am I doing something wrong? I tried to send a message to Allen but do not believe it went through. When I click on "Send Message" it seems to be processing and then "Send Message" comes back active. When I checked in my profile under sent messages, nothing shows up for this. Thanks in advance. Charles KenyonBadges & Achievements
Hi there, I got a notification, that I earned my 3 years' badge. This brings me to a page, which URL looks like this: techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/badges/userbadgespage/... This page shows a number of badges. If I look on the achievements page in my profile, the number of achievements listed there differs from the number listed on the special badges page. Why? And, it seems that I can not access the badges page from my profile. Why? Best, Mourad
