Working with multiple work accounts on a windows 10 device
Hello everyone I think it's time for me to vent my frustration about working with multiple work/education accounts on a windows 10 device... First of all, I have 3 Microsoft Accounts (1x Personal; 1x Work; 1x Education) and oh boy, it's very very frustrating to get all these 3 Accounts work together on the same windows 10 device with one Userprofile. Working with my Personal and Work (or Education) account on the same device works fine, no problems, but as soon as I add additionally either my Work or Education Account in the Windows 10 settings under "Account > Email & accounts" things starting to get complicated. Sync issues across every app that uses one of these work/education accounts (classic Office Apps, ToDo, Edge, OneNote) Upload blocks in the office apps (Word, Excel...) & Credential Errors 4x/day a notification toast that my work accounts need to fix... blabla -> I click okay, now fix it -> Accounts fixed -> later in the day, same error occurs... I just want to use all my accounts on the same device with the same Userprofile, I really love the Microsoft 365 Platform but these things driving me crazy. I had a time, in there I worked completely online, but yeah, we all know how cool it is to work with the online versions of Office Apps. I also tried multi-bootable windows installations or multiple Userprofiles and it worked, but I often need to access files/services that are stored in the OneDrive from my Education Account or vise versa, so it's really impracticable. Then I tried to link my accounts just in these apps where I need it, but Windows 10 really have fun on it to write in my accounts under the named windows 10 settings location. Has anyone a best practice, tips/tricks etc. everything helps... Thanks.
Migrating Videos from SharePoint Server 2016 to Stream 365
Hi, currently working on migrating from from SharePoint 2016 to 365. With SharePoint 2016 videos are stored on the server, my struggle is trying to understand how to migrate videos from the server into stream. I have tried testing with one video that is an mp4 and is not a large file, but it keeps saying that its failing to upload. I'm not sure what the problem is. Please help! Thank you
No setting default margins?
I noticed this note when perusing the help topic for page layout in Excel Office 365. Note: Page margins that you define in a particular worksheet are stored with that worksheet when you save the workbook. You can't change the default page margins for new workbooks. I am really curious why this feature would be taken away. It seems short sighted to stop allowing users to set up their default template for office
People Webpart doesn't show the pictures
Hello guys, I want to ask you something, I have a SharePoint site integrated with my 365 platform. In the site I use the Webpart People to add new hires, I mean, it's like a Welcome aboard.. In the user profile in 365 platform, I add the user's picture but in the WebPart the picture is not shown. There seems to be a synchronization problem. Do you have any idea how to solve it? Thanks in advance,
Outlook Group Calendars - The operation failed. An object could not be found
Hello everyone, We have an issue where a user can't use any of it's M365 group calendars in the Outlook client (for Windows) anymore. Once a new item should be created, we receive the error message from the screenshot below. The permissions are all fine, since on OWA the calendars are fully functional. What we did so far: - Recreate the mail profile in the control center - Reinstall whole Office suite (includes Outlook) - Upgrade Office suite from 32 to 64 bit Finally the mentioned error message (unfortunately in german), but I think the english translation would be "The operation failed. An object could not be found.": Maybe someone has an idea how to solve this issue? Thank you!Windows 11 ARM Microsoft 365 broken login - Outlook "unable to connect right now"
Hi all, HNY Came back from holiday to see that my Company Policy required to change my AD password as 4 months had passed. Did that on a Win 11 PC, no problems. Outlook showed 'trying to connect...' and 'Need Password', which when clicked opened the Microsoft 365 login page requesting the updated password etc. Moving to my Win 11 ARM machine (build 25267.1000) and opening up Outlook, I immediately get a pop up saying "we are unable to connect right now". Clicking the 'Need Password' opens up the same dialog again. I have tried to create a new profile using Control Panel->Mail, but the Add new account is again unable to Connect to the Mail server. My other Windows 11 PC Laptops work as expected from the same connection, so it is not a network issue. Has anyone else noticed the latest Dev build breaking the Microsoft 365 login process? Have tried downgrading Office 365 two builds to see if that was the problem, but it is not. Thanks!Blogpost - Get-MailDomainInfo function for retrieving all email DNS records
