Re: Monitoring Client app install failure
Hi Rudy, Those apps are deployed by user group, not the system. It doesn't seem to matter if the user already installed the app or not (in any case, these apps are part of the Autopilot profile as well, so they are installed when the user sets up his/her computer): there might not be a problem for an app for months, then, all of the sudden, it gives an error message on one or two users, then two days later that app is fine and I have a problem with another one. The issue is that there always seems to be at least one or two an apps at a time with a problem with one or two users. Given we only push 7 apps on 35 users, I can't imagine the number of errors for larger organizations. Again, this is not a big issue, but it adds noise to the number of things that we have to monitor...7KViews0likes1CommentMonitoring Client app install failure
I noticed that we constantly have a couple of apparently random errors in the "Client app install failure" (under Status on the home page). These are Microsoft Store apps installed with the new store (not the legacy Business store). The error message is typically: Client error occurred. (0x87D300CA) These errors appear randomly for any app and any user for a couple of days and then disappear. I suspect that this happens during app updates or during some synch process and they get corrected on the following sync, but I am not sure. We have a total of about 35 users and 7 apps that we push on our computers (Microsoft Whiteboard, Windows File Recovery, etc.). There is always a couple of those errors lingering around. Is this "normal behavior" or is there something that we haven't set up correctly on our side? These errors are not problematic per se, but they add noise to the system, and they make it less obvious to filter actual problems.8.1KViews0likes4CommentsRe: Best practices for enrolling shared devices in Intune
Char_Cheesman thank you for mentioning that. In our scenario, the 10 users limitation for TPM would not be an issue since these are production and quality control devices shared only by a couple of employees over the day. These could be set up as kiosk devices, but on some of those machines, the users need to access SharePoint to save data and I would prefer that each user has his/her own session.9.6KViews0likes0CommentsBest practices for enrolling shared devices in Intune
We need to enroll a couple of computers as shared devices in Intune. These devices are Windows 11 computers, but we plan to add a couple of iOS devices as well in the short term (iPads). These machines still need to be managed with Intune for updates, security policies, etc. Until now we have used an administrator account to set up these machines, but this is not ideal as employees can leave the company and the machines need to be reassigned to a new primary user, the management name needs to be updated, etc. I am considering using a dummy user as an Enrollment Manager to set up shared machines, but I am wondering if there are best practices for this. In particular: Is it better to use a "dummy user" account or a "resource account"? What kind of license is required for this user? Intune Plan 1? Even if this is a resource account? Any issue if, after setup, the "dummy user" never logs in the device anymore? Other considerations to keep in mind for this scenario? As this user would not be an admin and wouldn't have any access to SharePoint sites or other company data, it would be easier to make an exception from dual factor authentication, would this be considered an acceptable risk or a big no? Thank you for sharing your opinion and past experience on this. G.Solved13KViews0likes4CommentsPrevent users from removing OneDrive from starting up with Windows
I am looking for an Intune device configuration profile or other simple method to prevent users from removing OneDrive from the list of applications that starts with Windows (or at least that OneDrive will be reset to start with Windows every so often if a user turns it off). Thanks523Views0likes0CommentsUsing the trademark name instead of the company business name in OneDrive and AAD
By default, OneDrive uses the full company business name in File Explorer (OneDrive - My Company Business Name CORP or LLC). Similarly, on Azure Active Directory, the name of the directory is the company business name you set up in the Organization Profile or Billing Accounts. This is not ideal and eventually confusing when a company has different subsidiaries with slightly different business names (for example a subsidiary in a different country with a different business name, but sharing the same tenant and domain name). It would be better if a company could use its trademark name instead of the business name for OneDrive, the Azure Active Directory name, etc. Currently, if I change the company name on AAD, Billing Accounts, or Organization Profile, it changes the full business name on the invoices. Any workaround or best practices on the matter? Thanks.981Views0likes0CommentseDiscovery Center SharePoint site
As I am cleaning up unused and obsoleted SharePoint sites in the SharePoint Admin center, I am wondering if the site https://blueiceclimbing.sharepoint.com/Sites/eDiscoveryCenter can be safely deleted (the site was automatically created by the system). Navigating to the site, I get a message saying: "Creating new cases in the eDiscovery Center in SharePoint is no longer supported. You can create and use eDiscovery cases on the eDiscovery page in the https://protection.office.com/?UccRedirect=true#/ediscovery to manage your investigations https://support.office.com/en-us/article/eDiscovery-in-Office-365-143b3ab8-8cb0-4036-a5fc-6536d837bfce?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US#ediscoverycases". Please advise, thank you.Solved1.6KViews0likes2CommentsMonitor which users are opted in/out from call queue?
I need a way for an admin to monitor which users are opted in/out from a specific queue (some users forget to opt back in every so often). I don't seem to find the information on the MS Teams Admin Center. The queue is set up as a list of users, not as a MS Teams channel. If this is not possible, would it be possible from an MS Teams channel? Thanks.Solved5.8KViews0likes2CommentsCustomize Microsoft 365 app launcher "Business Apps" section
How can I edit the Business Apps section of the Microsoft 365 apps launcher please? (See attached image) I updated the name of a Power Apps environment and the links in the Business Apps section are not working anymore, I would like to update the links.1.7KViews0likes1CommentRemoving secondary prompt language from Default Voicemail policy
I set a second language by mistake on the default voicemail policy (I should have set that on a custom policy for a subset of users instead). The problem is that I don't seem to find a setting on the GUI to remove the second language; it seems I can only change it for another one. I also tried with PowerShell, but I don't see how to put in the right string to remove the setting: again, I can only set a language. Set-CsOnlineVoicemailPolicy -identity "Global" -SecondarySystemPromptLanguage "???" (I tried with nothing, null, none, false, just a space, no quotations, etc.) Suggestions please? Thanks.Solved5.5KViews0likes3CommentsRe: Organizational Assets Office Templates not showing in Office
It seems to be very slow to propagate. I had to remove the old templates library and create a new one and it seems it is taking very long too (except for PowerPoint online which sees the template right away, but not Word or Excel). Hopefully it is just a question of time.12KViews1like0CommentsStrange menu on Team site
We have a team site associated with a hub site that shows a strange horizontal menu at the top (see attached screenshot). The other sites associated with the same hub site do not have this menu. Can anyone tell me how to edit/remove this menu? I don't seem to find the settings anywhere. Thanks, GiovanniSolved890Views0likes2CommentsRe: Newly created local users cannot login Windows Admin Center
I seem to have found the setting: the new user needs to be added to the Remote Management Users group. I am confused, however: aren't Administrators already in the Remote Management Users group? Why would an admin need to be added to a separate security group to admin a machine remotely? By the way, the default the built in Administrator account is not in the Remote Management Users group, but does have this limitation.9KViews0likes2CommentsNewly created local users cannot login Windows Admin Center
I have set up a small lab environment to test Windows Admin Center with one physical Windows Server 2019 on a Workgroup. I installed WAC on a Windows 10 machine (on Azure AD, no AD joined) and I can connect just fine to the server with the default Administrator account. I created a second account (TestAdmin) and put in the Administrators group. The newly created user can long in Remote Desktop without problems and it is a local admin of the remote server, but I cannot use this user account (TestAdmin) to manage the server with WAC or PowerShell and I keep getting an error "Access is denied". Thanks for your suggestions.Solved9.1KViews0likes3Comments
