How to stop MS Word from saving doc and pdf files to the cloud
I'm on Windows 10 and Office 365. When I hit F12 on an MS Word file and save it as a .docx file or a .pdf file in a OneDrive folder: (1) the file does not immediately appear in the folder. (2) when it does appear, after more than 5 minutes later, it's on the cloud and it has be downloaded. (3) saving has become a lot slower. I'm not sure when I first noticed this but it has been a while. I've gone to File > Options > Save > Unchecked "Show additional places for saving, even if sign-in may be required". How do I prevent that? It slows everything down.
Excel desktop application crashes when trying to share or copy link
For the last couple of weeks when I've attempted to share an Excel file from the desktop app (multiple different files) the application crashed and closes out. The file are all saved to my personal OneDrive. It only seems to affect the files from my SharePoint, and only when trying to share through the desktop app. I can open it on the web version and share. I tried sharing a file that was opened through a SharePoint site and it seemed to work.
Forms: Time input question
In Office 365 Forms, I am attempting to create an event request form. I do not appear to be able to add a question for TIME of Day. I see a template for DATE but not TIME. In Google Forms "include Time" is an option for Date Questions in the contextual sub-menu. Is there someplace to add this function perhaps that I am missing? Ultimately I would like to add a script to the form that would auto-create an Outlook Calendar event on a shared calendar at the date and time on the form submission.
Why would a hacker/scammer put a domain INTO my exchange online admin?
OK so this is a weird one. I've been doing this a fairly long time but I'm not a full time exchange admin. I help my clients with exchange online often, but I'm a local IT pro, doing all sorts of screwdriver and software work, not just exchange. So maybe this isn't as bizarre as I think it is, but let's see. My client stopped receiving email 2 days ago. Alerted me to it yesterday. They don't know their password but no devices are asking for passwords, so I suspect it's not a password issue. I get logged into my admin and reset their password so we can get into their account. Suddenly they start getting asked for PW on phone and outlook, so we know that the password hadn't been changed prior. I get into account and see new rules sending all emails into archive and trash. So that explains that. So someone broke into the account with the correct password. Easily enough explained. Though weird that it would happen if the user didn't know their own password. So, one question is how did the scammer get into the account. I have looked at the login logs but I don't know what to sort/filter by to really find out anything helpful. Any ideas? So I got into the account and upon resetting his password he is forced to enable MFA. So that's done. I'm in the admin and what do I find? Two NEW domains in the settings. They are set up for exchange online. No users though. Not only that but I can't REMOVE the domains that aren't mine. I get this error when trying to remove it: "The domain coburnsfleetservices.com can't be removed at this time because it was purchased from Microsoft 365. It can only be used with your current Microsoft 365 account. You can remove it from the account once the subscription expires or is canceled." Also, in the emails missed in the past 48 hours we got one that said this: "A verified domain was added to your Avenue A Realty Advisors LLC account If this domain wasn't added by an admin in your organization, credentials might have been compromised and we suggest reviewing your password and multifactor authentication settings." I searched online and found contact info for one of the stolen/given domains. Called them and they said they had been hijacked 2 weeks ago, and their email used to send out payment requests to thousands of email addresses. Thought they had it solved a few days ago and it had been silent. Now this. So a second thing I'd like to find out is when exactly those domains were put into my exchange online account. Can I find that info from the logs? Additionally, WHY would someone move unrelated domains into my account? Maybe is the assumption that that happened before 2 weeks ago when that company's domain had been used to send out mass mail? Doesn't seem possible, because that company would have figured out that they no longer controlled their own domain and they couldn't have gotten control of the account again. Or...? I don't know. But while I've seen users tricked into giving out their passwords dozens of times, and their email used to try to solicit money from vendors, I've never seen another domain slipped in. Any ideas? And suggestions how to search the logs to get to the bottom of the missing puzzle pieces? Thanks for any leads!
Excel macro VBA issues
Hey guys. - I wrote a macro, which contain other macros using Call orders. If I running the macros separately everything ok, from the main macro one of them didn't running it's like it skipped from the list. Reason unknown. -On running I can see 4 application window get visible, and those didn't connect any kind of application. Also a Clipboard error message get visible, but I get a Clipboard cleaning macro, which several times cleaning the Clipboard, so it can't be. It's like a hack, or something which I don't recognize. - One a sheets called Total, I can't use the built in group function and can't collapse the selected section so the project I working on lost functionality. I didn't make any change on that side, but previously it was useable. Thanks for help in advance. Cheers. ZsoltExcel 365 High CPu usage
Guys. Another issue not VBA-specific but it's important. I have an excel file and it's worked just fine. Without any huge changes, currently if I do something i.e change a sheet , jst try copy a cell my application is just freeze and in task manager the CPU show me a high % of usage. GPU-0 3 D- just will be visible and the power usage change from low to very high. I run the file without releasing VBA, but the result is the same. What it is? Excel 365. (Yesterday i did a reinstalling process.) You can see a short movie with explanation related to this issue. Attached to this message. Thanks your answers.Replying to emails from M365 Outlook group
A problem I am stumped with, so I am reaching out for some help/guidance. One group wants to not have the emails going into their own inbox but manage and reply only from the group inbox itself (so they know the email has been processed by deleting it once replied). It worked OK to begin with and then some users couldn't reply, then more. Some still can. I have tried reindexing local copy, using browser instead of app & changing the send on behalf of permissions. Owner or member of group doesn't seem to make a difference. Error messages include "This message can't be sent because it no longer exists. It can only be discarded. Make sure you copy the contents of the message before you discard if you want to use them later." and "Couldn't send this message". Please see screenshots attached. My questions: 1: Is Outlook on M365 designed to allow users to reply from the group either as the "group" or as themselves? Information I found isn't clear. 2: If it is / can be - what can I do to make it work for all users? Thanks!
