Office 365 Shared Calendar Meetings inviting all Members when edited
We have one Office 365 Shared Calendar where the Owner of the Group adds a Meeting (not an appointment) to the calendar and wants to invite specific people, not the entire Group. This can be achieved with the latest Outlook update (Office 365 ProPlus) by removing the Group as a required attendee in the set up screen. However, when the meetings are edited in any way (membership, time, location) the entire Group is added as a required attendee and it is not possible to remove them. Other Groups do not exhibit this behaviour at all. Once the Group is removed as an attendee initially, the Membership stays the same despite editing. I've attached screenshots - in the 3rd shot you can see the Group has been added with a small + next to it, this is what invites all the members. In the 4th, there is a Group that is behaving correctly, no + and it doesn't ever invite all the Group Members. At the moment our solution is to re-create the Group and so far it hasn't caused the same issue but it would be far better to fix the original as the Teams Channel conversations cannot be migrated. Please help!4.3KViews0likes6CommentsUnable to see deleted list
I have a user who reported this and following testing I have recreated it: A list is deleted from a group connected SP Online team site by User 1 who has site owner permissions. User 1 attempts to restore this list from the SP site recycle bin but cannot see the list. When I view the site with site collection admin permissions I am able to see the list and restore it as normal. Is it expected behaviour that User 1 would not be able to restore the list? I don't think it is, Site Owners should be able to view every file in the recycle bin.865Views0likes0CommentsRe: one drive syncing is too much slow
zackgeek2 Hi - you're trying to use OneDrive sync client to upload quite a large amount of data. This isn't what it is designed for so upload speeds are never going to be huge. Check your https://www.speedtest.net/ (you mention a good download speed but upload will be significantly slower). To migrate files to OneDrive you should be using a migration tool which is designed to move data at large capacities. Sharegate or the inbuilt SharePoint migration tool are recommended. The same goes for others on this thread who are migrating. The SharePoint migration tool can be downloaded from the SharePoint admin centre. Sharegate is a third party software which I highly recommend but it is expensive.169KViews0likes4CommentsRe: Storage full on PC filled with Sharepoint files
mrbellybell Hi - this functionality exists in the OneDrive sync client, it's called 'Files on Demand'. What is does is keep a 'ghost' copy of the file on your local machine and syncs it with the SharePoint version. Until you open the file it will not be downloaded. To activate it: Click the OneDrive cloud icon in the taskbar Go to 'Help & Settings' > 'Settings' On the 'Settings' tab of the box that appears, ensure the tickbox 'Files on demand' is ticked Done! If you want to remove files that have downloaded to your PC, open the location in File Explorer, right click on the file/folder you wish to remove and choose 'Free up space'. This will remove the file back to your SharePoint location whilst keeping the ghost copy on your device.

Hi - I am trying to use Powershell to return a report of all users who have the Power BI pro option enabled under office 365 E5. To clarify, this is not the Power BI Pro licence that can be purchased separately, our users are licenced via their E5 licence. I have tried the following: (Get-MsolAccountSku | where {$_.AccountSkuId -eq "hopuk:ENTERPRISEPREMIUM"}).ServiceStatus This just returns the E5 licence and I can't go down a level into the services beneath it. I've also tried the following (kindly supplied by a colleague): # Connect to the SPO Service Connect-SPOService Connect-MsolService # The license - enterprise pack is E3 and enterprise premium is E5 $AccountSkuId = "<mydom>ENTERPRISEPREMIUM" # The service that you want the script to check - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/enterprise-users/licensing-service-plan-reference $Lserivce = "BI_AZURE_P2" # Get all the users in the tenant, this query takes 1 to 2 minutes $allusers = Get-MsolUser -MaxResults 20000 | Where-Object { $_.isLicensed -eq "TRUE" } # Set counter up $number = 0 $numberofusers = $allusers.count # For each user found foreach ($user in $allusers.UserPrincipalName) { # Add 1 to counter after each user $number++ write "Processing $number \ $numberofusers $($user)" # Get the license details $licensedetails = (Get-MsolUser -UserPrincipalName $user ).Licenses | Where {$_.AccountSkuId -eq $AccountSkuId} # Get all the services in the license for that user, only return the services that have been activated $service = $licensedetails.ServiceStatus | Where {$_.ProvisioningStatus -eq "success"} # Get just the names of the services for the user stripping everything else out $results = $service.serviceplan.servicename # If the service is found in the list of services do something if($results -match $Lserivce) { write-host $user -ForegroundColor green #export the name to the CSV file $user | Export-Csv -Path "C:\users\licencesexport1.csv" -Append -force } } This site https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/enterprise-users/licensing-service-plan-reference seems to suggest the service should just be called Power BI Pro but that returned an empty CSV which took nearly an hour to run. I can see there is a GUID included in that page too but none of the cmdlets I've tried have seemed to allow me to search for that. Any help greatly appreciated before the laptop goes out the window...!2.6KViews0likes1CommentRe: Will my OneNote data disappear when I graduate from University?
qs1997You will need to speak to the schools IT department to determine their policies but most organisations will delete user accounts a set period of time after that user has left and your login details will probably be removed earlier than that. You can copy the data to your own personal OneNote. Create a free Microsoft account from https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/microsoft-365/onenote/digital-note-taking-app?ms.url=onenotecom&rtc=1 and create a new Notebook. I would then copy the school notes into this new location. Note that you can only copy pages at a time via copy + paste, you can't move a whole section.6.2KViews0likes0CommentsRe: offline notebooks will not sync
gtmccannHi, this is not uncommon with OneNote. Continue attempting to sync the notebooks, give it a few hours and come back later if needed. If the problem persists and you cannot get the notes to sync then create new Notebooks and use the copy/move to function to copy your old broken notes to the new location. This is the only certain method to fix this issue,1.3KViews1like2CommentsDetailed Page Analytics
I have a user who requires functionality similar to Google Analytics on SharePoint Online pages to track unique views, traffic sources and click actions on a page. We cannot use Google as we have stringent security accreditation requirements. Is there anything out of the box that would provide this level of analytics?1.6KViews0likes3CommentsPersistent Drop Down on Choice Column
A user has a SharePoint List with several columns, the first of which is a choice column with multiple options, formatted as a drop down. When using the 'New' feature to add a new item, the column drop down automatically appears persistently. When a choice is selected, it returns as expected but then the list reappears. Is this an error which Microsoft have created? Has anyone else experienced this?672Views0likes0CommentsRe: Publish SharePoint News to Teams channels
jcgonzalezmartinThanks - just looking at Power Automate. Is there a connector for News? So far the best I've made is 'When a file is created in a folder' set the folder to Site Pages and then 'Post a Message V3' which doesn't copy the News article itself. Thanks.3KViews0likes0CommentsPublish SharePoint News to Teams channels
Hi - I am in the process of planning a formal News structure in our SharePoint Online environment with a central News communication site and vertical column web parts added to each Team site subscribed to the relevant articles. All works fine and dandy in SharePoint but we have recently rolled out Teams across the business and I would like to publish the News articles to the relevant Teams for the team sites. The News Connector in Teams is not suitable as it only shows News created on the relevant team site whereas our articles are being published on the central site. Is there any way I can get these articles to automatically post to the General Channel on Teams? Grateful for any suggestions!3.1KViews0likes2CommentsUser cannot turn on captions
Hi - we have a user who does not have the option to turn on captions in Teams meetings. The policy is switched on in admin centre, this is the only user in 10,000 who has reported this. The option just does not appear. User is using desktop client. Has anybody experienced this issue?862Views0likes1Comment
