Where's my display name?!
Hey everyone, I just set up my entire team with an Outlook account. Each person has their own display name (First, Last) and other personal information attached via the 'Identity' tab in the admin center. My issue is that when a team member sends an email it arrives the in the recipients inbox as 'email address removed for privacy reasons' instead of the display name of 'Joe Montana.' How and what do I change to ensure the recipient of the email sees the name of the sender rather than their whole email address. It's affecting our deliverability because it looks spammy. Any help would be appreciated!
How do I set the display language and region format for all users and set the company default?
Hi, How do I set the display language to English (United Kingdom) and the region format to English (United Kingdom) for all our existing users? and then change the defaults so that new users have them set automatically? Basically we keep rolling Power BI reports and things out and users language and display settings are all set as US which ends up displaying dates etc... wrong. Turns out this is the culprit, however they need to go to office.com and login and then Change your language and timezone. I don't want to have to do this for every user or have to guide them to it. Can I change this via admin for all? and then set defaults so all new users have that set? we are a UK company so would not want anything else. Any help appreciated Regards
Network Configuration Operators - Intune - Not working
Hi All, I have been doing some testing with intune and local user groups. I have managed to get non-admin user accounts to remove them from the local admin groups and also added Admin accounts to the local admin group. There is some uses in our organisation that require access to change their network settings (they are network engineers) I have managed to create a PS script with intune that puts the users in the network configuration operators group which I can see has populated. However when the user goes to change their IP they get the UAC prompt (expected) and they put their standard user (in the NCO group) credentials in. However windows 11 just kicks back another UAC prompt. No error message. Anyone else use network configuration operators on Windows 11? Thanks for any help offered.
FIDO2 enabled user receive "Protect your account"
We are having issues in two different scenarios with Azure MFA for users who use FIDO2 exclusively. It seems, any settings somehow still require Microsoft Authenticator. First scenario: Registering FIDO2 after the 14 days grace period When a user is created in Azure (either directly or on-prem sync, no difference here), the user has a 14 days grace period. During this period, configuring FIDO2 works flawlessly using aTemporary Access Pass (TAP). After the 14 days, the user logs in using the provided TAP to https://aka.ms/mysecurityinfo,starts the "Add sign in method", follows the steps for the FIDO2 key, once the key is confirmed and the user is redirected back tomysecurityinfo, Azure prompts for a "Additional information is required" and requires the user to register the Microsoft Authenticator app first. The only logs we see is that the user interrupted the MFA setup. We tried several browsers, normal or incognito mode, different users, nothing prevented this, except for configuring MS Authenticator first, then configuring FIDO2 afterwards. We deleted the MS Authenticator app for these users as it was only a workaround. Now these users seem to face the second scenario below. Second scenario: FIDO2 sign in prompts for a "Protect your account" - skippable for 14 days Users are able to sign in using the FIDO2, and immediately after, they are prompted a "Protect your account" window, which asks them to configure MS Authenticator again. They have the option to skip this for 14 times (not days). If we check the user's sign in logs, it showsFailure for the user satisfying the Conditional Access requiring MFA, which is rather unexpected because the user does in fact manage to sign in using the FIDO2 security key, and is able to access the resources when skipping the "Protect your account" request. We thought it may be App specific, but finally the users face this issue with different apps (Workday, Concur, MS Teams...) After asking Google, many articles point out this is related toSecurity Defaults. This is not our case, as we are using Conditional Access and they are not compatible. The Conditional Access (CA) is enforcing an MFA of a custom Authentication Strength which includes the FIDO2 as one of the accepted options. The per-user MFA settings are configured to beDisabled for the affected users, as it is already enforced by the CA. The only setting that we have not modified yet is theMultifactor authentication registration policy which is set toEnabled - we cannot customise this as we have only P1 license (and we cannot find information if disabling this would later prevent us from enabling it afterwards due to missing license). As mentioned at the beginning, it seems there is somewhere a setting that expects everybody to use MS Authenticator for MFA regardless of what we configure, except if we disable MFA altogether (not gonna happen). Are there any other settings we should check or review or we can test? Thanks in advance.How to update office accounts in bulk?

Have a great day!Redirect SharePoint Website to new Homepage.
Hello, my problem is that if you follow the URL (created by system account): "https://companynamexyz.sharepoint.com" (Page A) via mobil, as a normal user you will end on: "https://companynamexyz.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/touchapp.aspx?Mode=TeamSite&Page=ListOfApps&Path=" (Page B) But I want to redirect the User to our original Intranet Homepage. (Page C) So I managed to at a webpart script and redirect the User if they open Page A on a Computer. Unfortunately this doesn't work for mobil devices. Page C is already set as Homepage. I can't edit Page A in Admin-Center. Is there a different way to successfully end on Page C if you open Page A on any device? Thank you in advance. Best Regards, Adrian
