Why Outlook Locks You Out After Deleting Thousands of Emails — And How to Fix It Fast
We’ve all been there — your Outlook or Hotmail inbox is overflowing with thousands of old messages, and you decide to clean house. You select all, hit delete, and feel relieved… until you try to open your mailbox again and get hit with a dreaded message: “We’ve temporarily limited your account.” Welcome to the world of Outlook throttling — Microsoft’s way of protecting its servers (and your account) from overload or suspicious activity. But don’t worry, it’s usually temporary and easy to fix. https://dellenny.com/why-outlook-locks-you-out-after-deleting-thousands-of-emails-and-how-to-fix-it-fast/Data Residency and Compliance in the Microsoft Cloud with Microsoft 365
In today’s globally connected world, organisations face growing pressure to ensure data is stored, managed, and protected in accordance with national borders and data-sovereignty laws. For users of Microsoft 365 and the wider Microsoft Cloud, understanding data residency and compliance is essential to maintaining trust and meeting legal obligations. https://dellenny.com/data-residency-and-compliance-in-the-microsoft-cloud-microsoft-365-governance-guide/How Cloud Computing Improves Business Agility and the Role of Microsoft 365
In today’s fast-moving business world, agility isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s essential. The ability to respond quickly to market changes, launch new offerings, support remote or hybrid work, and scale resources up or down can define success. One of the foundational enablers of that agility is cloud computing. Further, productivity and collaboration platforms such as Microsoft 365 (M365) help turn those capabilities into everyday business reality. Here’s how cloud computing boosts agility, and how Microsoft 365 fits into the picture. https://dellenny.com/how-cloud-computing-improves-business-agility-and-the-role-of-microsoft-365/
Partner Intune reporting questions
I need some help for my global partner- SHI International. We have a monthly services modernization briefing with the SHI M365 practice team. They have a need around 1-2 Q&A deep-dive sessions where their team of M365 experts want to ask some in=depth technical and pre-sales related questions related to Intune Reporting Challenges and Customer Pain Points, Current Intune Reporting Limitations, Technical Barriers to Reporting, Permissions and Consent Model Confusion, Feedback on Documentation and User Experience. Appreciate any guidance on a PSA SME on this topic or a global black belt, that would be great. Appreciate if you can point me to the latest updated documentation on this topic. I reached out to several folks in the PSA team with no luck yet. Thanks!
mark as unread, flag, pin & delete buttons moved to far right on Outlook email
On the current Outlook email layout the "mark as unread, flag, pin & delete" buttons are on the far right of the email body which is VERY inconvenient. It used to be the "mark as unread, flag, pin & delete buttons were in between the "from" section and the "subject" section. That previous setup was very very convenient as a user didn't have to move their mouse all the way over to right side of the screen to manage what they wanted to do with said email. It was a quick, seamless setup. Now, its the opposite. I would hope Outlook would bring back or have the option for the user to move those said buttons where they want.Microsoft 365 vs Azure vs Dynamics 365 – What’s the Difference?
In today’s cloud-driven business environment, it’s common to hear about Microsoft’s cloud offerings—Microsoft 365, Azure, and Dynamics 365. While they’re all part of the Microsoft ecosystem, each serves different purposes. Understanding the differences can help you choose the right tool (or mix of tools) for your organisation. https://dellenny.com/microsoft-365-vs-azure-vs-dynamics-365-whats-the-difference/Cloud Benefits Simplified Scalability, High Availability, and Disaster Recovery
Cloud computing has transformed the way businesses manage their IT infrastructure. Whether you’re a startup or an enterprise, the cloud delivers agility, efficiency, and resilience that traditional on-premises setups can’t match. In this post, we’ll break down three of the most important benefits of cloud technology—scalability, high availability, and disaster recovery—in simple terms. https://dellenny.com/cloud-benefits-simplified-scalability-high-availability-and-disaster-recovery/
Import data from a Microsoft Forms PDF into Excel
Hi all. I have a number of PDFs for clients which contain questionnaires, score sheets, etc. Some are completely external, and some are from Microsoft Forms. A while back, I created a Macro/some VBA code to read data from the external PDFs, import it into Excel and display the figures; it works really well. Today, I've tried to update it to load data from the PDFs created by "printing" a Microsoft Forms complete questionnaire and saving as a PDF - unfortunately, when trying to import this into Excel (using "Get Data -> From File -> PDF"), the "Likert" questions are appearing but showing "null" for all the columns, not identifying which contains the "selected" checkbox. Possibly a slim hope, but I was wondering if anyone has experience doing something similar, or can recommend a way to get this to work? I know there are potentially other ways to approach this (I tried connecting it directly to the linked Sharepoint Excel file, but the URL is entirely powered by URL arguments ?foo=bar&baz=boing etc, and Excel demands those all be deleted when giving it a filename to connect to to get data from the web, helpfully); connecting it to a "local" version of the Excel file on OneDrive is a possibility, but ideally I'd a) want the tool to be accessible to people who have access to the PDFs but not the spreadsheet, and b) have to save the print-out PDFs in every client folder to store their data together, and the spreadsheet may occasionally be purged, so the PDF is the "safe" way to access the data.) PDFs can't be run through any online tools due to containing sensitive data. Many thanks.
