Re: guest expiration
StephenRice Almost 3 years later π This feature has been launched and running relatively smoothly, congratulations. I have found a bug and i believe it is (loosely) related to my original concenrs about the interactions between this feature and Teams/Groups: typically, the expiration warning emails go to group OWNERS (because they are by default site collection owners), this makes sense, any (typically) works like a charm. BUT, if the setting for "send copies of team emails and events to team membersβ inboxes" is ticket, the expiration email actually goes to all members of the O365 group- not only the owners. This is not expected, the documentation claims that the mail should only go to "owners" (and typically it does). something about this setting makes it send to all members of the group. I have been trying to explain this to support, and now PG, for months...... but you know how that goes. I am talking to myself π maybe you can understand this better than they can.1.6KViews0likes0CommentsAzure 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 π Anyone else?1.8KViews1like1CommentRe: SharePoint News Digest language settings
Hi Lilly, Yes and no π 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.3.5KViews0likes0CommentsRe: 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!3.8KViews0likes0CommentsRe: 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.3.8KViews0likes2CommentsRe: Can't add members to private channels
ChrisHoardMVP Thanks for sticking with this issue. I am experiencing it today with 2 guest users in my tenant. The mobile workaround is working but not really acceptable several years later. Also, the uservoice link is broken (not your fault- ALL uservoice links are broken XD) I have a real problem with the way Microsoft acknowledge and address bugs (they don't!). I guess there is no way for us as users to get any kind of acknowledgement from MS side? or even better, a fix???6.5KViews1like1CommentRe: 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.............5.3KViews0likes1CommentOnedrive 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...........5.3KViews0likes2CommentsRe: 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. Alex8.1KViews0likes1CommentRe: Document Library tab: Cannot upload or drag&drop files (Bug)
pblbsyl Hi, thanks for reaching out. Interestingly, Microsoft reached out to me today and asked me to reproduce the issue again. I tried but I can't - seems solved for me too! I will test some more tomorrow but I suspect this is solved- thanks for sticking with this over the weeks! Alex8.1KViews0likes0CommentsRe: 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 π1.8KViews0likes1CommentRe: Document Library tab: Cannot upload or drag&drop files (Bug)
pblbsyl Thanks! I tested this and it is a good workaround. Very nice, thank you for the suggestion. I can announce this to my users but can't be sure they will all see it and/or stop using the "document library" app (which is still broken). But i think this is a good workaround or temporary solution- nice thinking and thank you!8.3KViews0likes5CommentsRe: Document Library tab: Cannot upload or drag&drop files (Bug)
pblbsyl hi, thanks for keeping this issue updated, and for your information. I also got my issue escalated today- it is escalated to the "product group"- unclear which product though. I await their reply. Interesting note about document sets... thanks for confirming. On this side however i have reproduced the issue on a site where the "document set" content type is not even enabled. To answer clearly: I have this issue on document libraries which do not use document sets. as a quick test i just did the following, which might be interesting for you to hear: i created a brand new document library (no customisations, no document sets, and no documents. brand new). This was created on the same site where other affected libraries are hosted. I added this new library to a team using the "document library" app. Tried to upload a file here and got the same error. Not sure what this tells me, but i think it is interesting to see the error on a brand new, empty library. hope we get the answer soon. Alex8.3KViews0likes7CommentsRe: 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!) π 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. Alex β8.3KViews0likes9CommentsRe: Document Library tab: Cannot upload or drag&drop files (Bug)
pblbsyl Thank you for confirming. Case 22216444 is a case i have open with Microsoft support. This case is very slow and unhelpful, that is why i raised the issue here in tech community. we need to find a way to escalate this bug to Microsoft and get them to act. If you are curious, the status of my support ticket is: support agent claims that Microsoft Product group are aware of this bug but for some reason need me to collect fiddler logs for them..... so i did that and sent them back. waiting for their reply.8.4KViews0likes11CommentsRe: 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.8.4KViews0likes13CommentsRe: Document Library tab: Cannot upload or drag&drop files (Bug)
TheM365Guy ok, thank you for taking the time to troubleshoot π I have tested in our Live tenant, my dev tenant, and also a microsoft support agent (in Asia somewhere) tested in his tenant- all 3 were affected. Interesting to hear that yours are not.... this might help us get closer to an answer. Thanks again.8.6KViews0likes0CommentsRe: 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. β8.6KViews0likes2Comments
