Automatically Triggering the Smartcard PIN Prompt in Outlook
I use Outlook to receive encrypted emails that are protected by a certificate stored on my smartcard. When opening these emails, a Windows Security prompt appears, asking me to enter the PIN for my smartcard to decrypt the message. Once the PIN is entered, I can access the email contents. I'm looking for a way to automatically trigger the PIN entry dialog via code so that the user is prompted to enter the PIN without manually clicking on the encrypted email. The user will still need to insert their smartcard and manually enter the PIN, but I want the dialog itself to be initiated programmatically. I would prefer to implement this solution in PowerShell, an Outlook macro (VBA), or Delphi. However, I encountered an issue: when attempting to display the email using MailItem.Display(True), the PIN dialog does not appear. Instead, the following error message is shown: "The name of your digital ID could not be found by the underlying security system." Has anyone experienced this or have suggestions on how to automate the process while keeping the PIN entry manual and secure? Thank you in advance for your help!
Meeting time returned incorrectly/Incorrect time code
Hi everyone, So I'm putting an app together internally at work that scrapes the reminders set for us in ZenDesk using the reminders app, converts them and then pushes the events to my Outlook calendar. The pushing is fine and they show up at the right time in my calendar like so: However when I go to pull the events from graph to make sure I'm not uploading duplicates I get the following: Which means that the comparison is failing as the time is an hour behind. Am I missing something here or is MS using the wrong time code? It's currently Summer where I'm based (UK) and the clocks are an hour ahead so UTC should be +1 too right? I'd be super appreciative to anyone who can help. Cheers.
Mailbox permissions
Hi all, I've created a new exchange mailbox on-user with on-prem mailbox and then migrated it over the 365 and all looks and works fine. I have then added 5 users to the permissions list of that mailbox and can see the permissions have applied with powershell but it seems that users that use Outlook 365 can see the mailbox in Outlook - if they user Outlook 2016 the mailbox doesn't appear in their list. If they add the maibox manually it does get listed but then they get a folder error. I can see the mailbox fine and it popped into my Outlook 365 client without issues. Do we need to upgrade everyone ?
