Mail enabled AD accounts
I have a question about email delivery to Mail enabled AD accounts. I am aware that these types of accounts are useful when you need to provide an external person like a contractor a login but don't want to provide them with a mailbox. You can add their external email address to the email field in Entra but they login with your companies UPN. Apparently there is also a license saving here as you dont need to assign them an E5 My questions are: If I put their UPN as the recipient of an email and send it will EXO fail to deliver it since they don't have an EXO mailbox? Or will it deliver to the external mail address set in the mail address field in their user account? How does advanced features like purview etc work if they don't have an E5? What's the process to create one of these mail enabled users?
Help...Cannot lock email pop out window orientation
I've never experienced this before, but when I open an email or reply to an email it pops out to another window. That's to be expected, but it pops it out to the top most portion of the screen just to the right of middle of screen. This sends my OCD off a cliff, so I drag it down to the bottom left most corner of the screen. The issue I experience is that never holds. How can I lock the pop out to the bottom left corner of my screen?
Ongoing Compatibility Issues Between Outlook and Google Frustrate Users

On 19 December 2024, Microsoft announced the retirement of the Microsoft Search in Bing feature. Copilot is better at searching and presenting web and work results. Although tenant administrators might worry about the recent batch of retirements, the fact is that Microsoft retires unsuccessful products and features from Microsoft 365 all the time. The swift demise of the Office tags feature is another example. https://office365itpros.com/2024/12/23/microsoft-search-in-bing-retires/

Use mobile device as PowerPoint controller and more
So I have been looking around and the only thing I can find is a reference to an old PowerPoint remote controller app for Android from many years ago that is no longer supported or available. However, I do still have the want to be able to control a PowerPoint being presented from my mobile phone, tablet, etc. and be able to navigate the slides at a minimum, but if I could do some highlighter/markup capabilities, that would be even better. So here I am reaching out to the Microsoft PowerPoint community to see what I am missing here. Anyone have any suggestions or ideas that I could do to achieve the above? Thanks.AD Hybrid MailUser
I started a new job and noticed that the Exchange Online but the AD is hybrid and all the exchange attributes need to be managed in on-premises AD for proxyAddresses and Aliases. I didn't see an Exchange Server and was told it was uninstalled. How would I check that? I need to create a few MailUsers but the user accounts already exist. I have read that I should be able to Enable-Mailuser but that doesn't exist on Exchange online. How should I proceed in converting some Users to MailUsers without an exchange server on premise?Microsoft Kills Viva Goals
Microsoft’s announcement of the Viva Goals retirement came as a complete surprise to the customers using Viva Goals to implement the OKR methodology for their organization. From Microsoft’s text, it seems pretty clear that Viva Goals just didn’t succeed in winning sufficient customers to warrant ongoing development. The outcome is that Microsoft cut its losses and will retire Viva Goals. https://office365itpros.com/2024/12/09/viva-goals-retirement/
