Azure runbooks stuck in suspended status after "connectedmachineagent" updates
Buckle up. We are running Azure runbooks on a local server using a hybrid worker. Occasionally (monthly?) the server will get routine updates and usually, after the updates, all runbooks on the machine will be stuck in "suspended" status. Every time this happens, the permissions on the "C:/ProgramData/AzureConnectedMachineAgent/Tokens" folder have been reset, and this is the reason the runbooks get stuck- we fix this by giving the runas account Read access on this folder again. after monitoring the situation for several months, i have found a pattern. windows updates for "azureconnectedmachineagent" reset these folder permissions. so whenever such an update runs, our runbooks get stuck and i need to fix the folder permissions. Sadly, i raised this with Azure support and they claim it's not an Azure issue. So i opened a ticket with Microsoft365 support who claim the same thing...... unsurprisingly, and sadly, Microsoft can't even manage to find the right team to handle this question- so here we are 🙂 Anyone else?Re: SharePoint News Digest language settings
Hi Lilly, Yes and no 🙂 As described in my comment: the language of a news post is defined by the region settings of the SITE (not the user......). so, for your use-case: No, I don't have a solution. all users would get news in the same language. You might consider publishing the page in multiple translated languages (https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-sharepoint-blog/new-sharepoint-feature-multilingual-publishing-for-pages-and/ba-p/1432445) but that is not what this post is about- completely different topic.Re: SharePoint News Digest language settings
Update: The setting was specific to the site collection I was sending the news from (not the user). Check the locale in the region settings on a site (_layouts/15/regionalsetng.aspx) and confirm or change them. Counter-intuitively, this is not controlled from the language setting on a site (_layouts/15/muisetng.aspx). In my opinion, this is a mistake on MS/Product side: of course the language of the news emails should be defined by the language (not region) of the site. Update locale on multiple sites borrowing some powershell from here: https://www.sharepointdiary.com/2019/06/sharepoint-online-change-regional-settings-using-powershell.html Hope this saves someone else time........... because it was a waste of mine!Re: SharePoint News Digest language settings
I am experiencing the same issue. I have been testing a lot of different settings but i Can't find the relevant setting. Here: https://tobii-my.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/editprofile.aspx?UserSettingsProvider=dfb95e82-8132-404b-b693-25418fdac9b6 I have been editing my regional settings: Changing the available languages and the setting for "defined by site administrator" vs "personal". Still the Sharepoint news posts come in Swedish every time. I cannot change the language here (https://myaccount.microsoft.com/settingsandprivacy/language) as it is centrally managed, and hard-coded to English. Not sure where else to check but something is forcing the news mails to Swedish.Re: Onedrive for Business - cannot delete folders?
the documentation is incorrect. Attached is proof that you can delete a folder without emptying it. StephenRice Do you have any comment on this? To me the documentation is simply incorrect. And any potential customers (or even doubtful existing customers) might simply turn away from O365 if they believe the docs to be true.............Onedrive for Business - cannot delete folders?
Official documentation from Microsoft claims that you cannot delete a folder in ONedrive for Business unless it is empty? https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/delete-files-or-folders-in-onedrive-21fe345a-e488-4fa7-932b-f053c1bebe8a#bkmk_delete_from_onedrive Is this documentation really correct? I personally have deleted folders from Onedrive which are full of files...........Re: Document Library tab: Cannot upload or drag&drop files (Bug)
pblbsyl I finally have a useful update from Microsoft. This should likely close the issue off: Microsoft acknowledge the bug and that their product team are rolling out a solution which should be out in the next few weeks: Unfortunately this does not actually fix the damage done...... This bug corrupts customer data yet Microsoft have not acknowledged it in the message center or service updates. Further: They have confirmed to me it is not possible to identify or restore the corrupt files- they will be lost. I see this as "solved" in some way although i have lost a little more faith in Microsoft today- to me this is a business practice which does not encourage our trust. these kinds of bugs should be communicated. AlexRe: Best migration tool
miclarsen1 In the Sharepoint admin center you will find a migration tool included in your subscription: Otherwise, i personally use Sharegate. it's a nice tool with more features to help with administration and migration. I know of another called Avepoint. However there are plenty to choose from and your choice of cost/price will ehlp you choose the best 1 🙂Re: Document Library tab: Cannot upload or drag&drop files (Bug)
pblbsyl any update on your support ticket? I had an update on mine but it is not helpful (surprise!) 🙂 on my side, I asked for some kind of post where customers can check the status of the bug (like we get in https://admin.microsoft.com/Adminportal/Home#/servicehealth for example) and the support agent confirmed that Microsoft keeps bugs "confidential" and do not share updates with customers. So he closed the ticket. Truly awful work by MS Support, as expected: I hope you make better progress on your side. AlexRe: Document Library tab: Cannot upload or drag&drop files (Bug)
Microsoft support have confirmed that the product team are aware of this bug: Unfortunately i still don't see the bug documented anywhere...... service health, message center, here (besides my post) and the result is that customer files are becoming corrupt and customers are losing data. so, back to my original post: HOW are we supposed to raise bugs and product issues in an efficient way, how do we get Microsoft to admit and fix such issues.Re: Document Library tab: Cannot upload or drag&drop files (Bug)
TheM365Guy hi, thanks for being engaged. I just tested again. Today the error in the Teams client is gone. However, the files that i uploaded are still corrupt (and this is the main issue). If you check 1 of the files you uploaded via teams client, can you see the content? For me, they all look like this: Also, please make sure that the "document library" tab you added is to a sharepoint site (preferrably NOT the same site created by the team automatically.) i will say this: This bug does not exist on some libraries i tested, but for most of them, it does... if you could, can you please try libraries from a few different site collections? Honestly i can't identify which libraries are/are not affected but from what i have seen, most libraries are affected. Oh! and to answer your question: no, i am not using a proxy. 2 colleagues (both working from home) reproduced this yesterday, and so did a microsoft support agent, so i really dont think it is related to tenant, user, computer, network.
