Office 365 Install
I am unable to find the install information to use on other computers. I am unable to logon to my account as I can't remember what username & password I used. I pay for it every year. I don't have that email or the original. I was forced to create a new account. I tried looking on my PC for an install code/key, but can't find it. Did a lot of Googling to get answers to no avail. I'm thinking that my old account is using an email I no longer have as I've moved. Please help if you can or direct me to the place that can. Thank you! David
Issue with Listing Tasks from Planner Premium in Power Automate
Hello, I have created both Standard Planner and Planner Premium. When using Power Automate to list tasks, it only retrieves tasks from Standard Planner but not from Planner Premium. I tried using the Microsoft Graph API /planner/plans/{planId}/tasks, but it does not return tasks from Planner Premium. I also checked app permissions in Azure AD and tested the API in Postman and Power Automate, but it still does not work. These methods have been either too complex or have not given any results. Is there any alternative way to list tasks from Planner Premium? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Laptop won't sleep
Hello, Got a new HP Victus 16 laptop with a windows 11 installed. Windows is up to date - however, every time I try to put the laptop to sleep, it won't, but the screen goes black, as I have to do it 2-3 times until the light indicator on the laptop flashes. However, if it did sleep, I can still hear the fans going on, compared to an old business HP laptop with Windows 10, which goes to sleep perfectly without issues, and the fans are halted. Any suggestions or solutions would be appreciated.How to fix "object/block variable not set" error in VBA?
I'm using VBA in Word 2013. My OS is Win10. I'm having a problem with macros that I created that will no longer work. When I click to run them, I get: "Run-time error '91': Object variable or With block variable not set." I have no idea what the problem could be. These macros ran fine before. Then, this started happening. For example, here's a very simply-written one to zoom out in order to be able to see 5 pages at once in Word: Sub Five_Page_View() ' ' Zoom 45% to see 5 pages ' ' ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Zoom.Percentage = 45 End Sub Used to work. Now, doesn't. I get the error above. Why? Does anyone have any idea what the problem might be? Thanks!
Applied Skills : Deploy and configure Azure monitor issues
Has anyone managed to pass this applied skills? I’ve already taken it twice and I can’t complete 3 tasks. First, it asks to configure file and configuration tracking for a web app in Change Analysis (classic), which is no longer available. Second, it asks to enable Insights on a VM, but the user doesn’t have the permissions to do it, and they can’t be added. Third, it asks to create a connection test between two VMs, but the user isn’t authorized to add the Network Watcher extension to the Linux VM. Both times I scored 69% (75% needed) and it marked those tasks as not completed.
Entra External ID - password reset flow
Hello, We have started to implement Entra External ID and have reached a dead-end when it comes to password reset initiated by an external admin. The process we are trying to support: The use signs up in our client (website) The user should then automatically be generated in Entra External ID At the end of the registration, the user receives an email from Entra External ID, with a password reset link The user resets the password and is redirected back to our client -> fully logged in The only flow we are able to get to work now, is that the user sets their own password by pressing the "Forgotten password" button in the login screen in Entra External ID, but this is not going to work for us. The user should not know that they are in a different site, and for the login to be as seamless as possible, the user should just receive a password reset link in an email. It looks like this might work in Azure B2C, but we have already starting implementing Entra External ID, so we would hope and expect it to work here as well. Any help on how to solve this for Entra External ID would be highly appreciated.Microsoft Learning Rooms Weekly Round up on 10/16

Hello, We have a question regarding the management of roles and permissions in Azure Purview. According to the documentation (Azure Purview permissions), it seems that Global Administrator permissions are required to access all features, which raises some security concerns for us. Is there no way to assign a more specific role — similar to how it works in Microsoft Fabric with the Fabric Administrator role — rather than having to assign the Global Administrator role? If this is indeed not possible, we understand that the proper workflow would be for someone with Global Administrator privileges to go to Azure Purview > Roles and Scopes > Role Groups, and from there assign a more granular Purview-specific role to selected users, such as a Data Curator or Data Source Administrator. Is this correct? Is this the recommended approach? Thank you in advance for your help. Best regards,
Word - Table issues
I have a Word template that’s used by multiple people each week. It contains standard formatting elements that users can fill out or delete as needed, including an optional table element. Users typically have tracked changes turned on from the start, and the documents go through several rounds of review by different people before being finalized. We're using M365, drafts are all saved as .docx between users, and they should be starting from a clean template every time. Recently, some team members have encountered a serious issue that I have been unable to recreate on my own: - When they try to edit the table (especially near the end of the review process), the entire table and all content after it deletes itself (can't undo this). - If they try to accept the changes for the table or “Accept All Changes” in the document, Word crashes completely. There’s no unusual formatting or macros in use, and nothing obvious stands out as a cause. We've only started experiencing this in the last few months, and there have been no changes to the templates or to our process. My current suspicion is that tracked changes and/or multiple users editing over time might be introducing corruption into the table. Has anyone else run into this behavior? Any insight into what might cause it or how to prevent it would be greatly appreciated[Share] AZD-for-beginners
