SharePoint Online Drops One Time Passcodes for External Access
From July 2026. SharePoint Online and OneDrive for Business will use Entra B2B Collaboration (guest accounts) to control external access to shared files. This change has been coming since 2021, but it takes time for organizations to get their heads around changing the way to grant external access. It’s time to embrace guest accounts, and that means doing some work to manage guest accounts on an ongoing basis. https://office365itpros.com/2026/03/06/guest-accounts-spo/31Views0likes0CommentsIs ctldl.windowsupdate.com legit?
Is ctldl.windowsupdate.com legit? It seems malicious on VT. I have came across in the logs: "svchost.exe has initiated a HTTP connection to http://ctldl.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v3/static/trustedr/en/authrootstl.cab?blabla"nopnopMar 05, 2026Copper Contributor21KViews0likes3CommentsOffice365 Autoupdate on Mac
Last week I had an issue with Autoupdate on Microsoft365 where OneNote failed to update, other app were fine. I tried selecting just this app and updating it but got a download error. Autoupdate indicates "some apps have encountered errors" and retrying just repeats the download error. I've tried machine based fixes but none have worked and I suspect it's something else as I have a Mac mini and MacBook doing the same along with my wife who has a Mac desktop. The issue is still the same a week on.LeeS24Mar 04, 2026Copper Contributor57Views0likes1CommentMicrosoft Teams – “Save this message” feature missing in both Desktop and Web clients

Sensitive Information types (SITs) are definitions of data like credit card numbers used by DLP rules to detect potential external sharing violations. Knowing what SIT to use in a DLP rule is often difficult, which is why the Purview developers have added a test option to allow tenants to test files against individual SITs or all SITs to see what happens. https://office365itpros.com/2026/03/04/sensitive-information-type-test/17Views0likes0CommentsSharepoint custom lis view sorting

Problem (Bug)
This seems to be some sort of bug in the OneNote Search feature (or maybe me). [By the way, I LOVE the Search feature - OneNote is rather useless (for me) without it.] My research into the problem leads me to believe it has something to do with Indexing. Anyway, anything I enter into OneNote now (except for the Title) cannot be found by the OneNote Search feature. My recent problem is in searching for a name (Scott). Search can find old entries with the name Scott and can even find a Scottsdale entry - and Search can find Scott in the Title of a recent entry but cannot find any of the other recent Note entries with Scott in the body (3 of them as a test). I also note that if I manually go to the page with a recent Scott entry, the word Scott is highlighted - but the Notes' containing Scott in it does not appear in the list of notes containing Scott. My OneNote file is huge, probably hundreds of notes (if not thousands) and the Search feature has always worked flawlessly, until now. Can OneNote get too big for Search to work? I really need this feature to work - anyone know what is going on here. ron in shawneeSolvedroninkansasMar 03, 2026Brass Contributor425Views0likes5CommentsMicrosoft Celebrates SharePoint 25th Anniversary with a Bunch of Announcements

For businesses that still rely on approval flows, notifications, and automated processes built years ago, the message is clear: those workflows will stop working, and planning can no longer be postponed.
