Issue in PowerPoint / Power BI plugin - Embed Power Bi report can't show preloaded objects
Hello everyone, i have integrated various Power BI graphics that show live data into a PowerPoint report using the URL. The graphics with the live data were automatically reloaded, after the respective slide was clicked on. If the slides were not clicked and the entire report was exported as a PDF instead, the graphics that were loaded the last time were displayed. You can also see it in the preview on slide 3: the objects shown there were loaded the last time. For some reason, for the last two weeks, when the graphics have been reloaded and the PowerPoint report has been saved and reopened, the preview no longer shows the last loaded graphics, but blue hexagons. The blue hexagons only disappear when I click on the slide and the graphics have been automatically reloaded. If I don't do this step, i.e. click through each individual slide but click on PDF export straight away, the PDF export shows the blue hexagons again. The problem is, however, that due to time constraints, I can't always click on each individual slide, but only on a few slides, and the rest of the slides including the graphics they contain should remain unchanged. How can I ensure that the last loaded graphics are restored and that the blue hexagons do not appear? Thanks for any help!
System.InvalidCastException: The COM object of the type “Outlook.ApplicationClass” cannot be convert
Hello everyone, We have an Outlook addon that communicates with our application. Our application used to be 32 bit. However, we changed it to 64 bit. We use the Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook DLL to create emails, appointments and so on. Recently we have been having problems with creating objects and unfortunately we do not know what exactly the problem is. We always get an exception like this: System.InvalidCastException: Das COM-Objekt des Typs "Outlook.ApplicationClass" kann nicht in den Schnittstellentyp "Outlook._Application" umgewandelt werden. Dieser Vorgang konnte nicht durchgeführt werden, da der QueryInterface-Aufruf an die COM-Komponente für die Schnittstelle mit der IID "{00063001-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}" aufgrund des folgenden Fehlers nicht durchgeführt werden konnte: Element nicht gefunden. (Ausnahme von HRESULT: 0x8002802B (TYPE_E_ELEMENTNOTFOUND)). bei System.StubHelpers.StubHelpers.GetCOMIPFromRCW(Object objSrc, IntPtr pCPCMD, IntPtr& ppTarget, Boolean& pfNeedsRelease) bei Outlook.ApplicationClass.GetNamespace(String Type) or System.InvalidCastException: Das COM-Objekt des Typs "Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.ApplicationClass" kann nicht in den Schnittstellentyp "Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook._Application" umgewandelt werden.

Unfortunately, it only works for a few days or weeks and then the problem reappears. We tried to reproduce the problem with a powershell script and we could. This is the script: $Outlook = New-Object -ComObject Outlook.Application $Mail = $Outlook.CreateItem(0) # 0 steht für MailItem $Mail.Subject = "Test E-Mail von PowerShell" $Mail.Body = "Dies ist eine Test-E-Mail, die mit PowerShell erstellt wurde." $Mail.Display() Write-Host "Das E-Mail-Fenster wurde angezeigt." [System.Runtime.Interopservices.Marshal]::ReleaseComObject($Mail) | Out-Null [System.Runtime.Interopservices.Marshal]::ReleaseComObject($Outlook) | Out-Null What is the problem? Could the problem be related to Windows group policies? If so, which ones? We have a lot of customers that have this problem so we need help asp. Thanks and best regards
Outlook - Integrated Apps (Admin-Managed) - Intermittently Appearing/Disappearing on PCs
In our office we have several integrated add-ins that our Microsoft 365 Global Admin assigns 'everyone in our organization' to Outlook. Examples: Zoom, Microsoft Viva, Since Mid July around when we received the (v2205) updates to Microsoft Office we began experiencing issues with these plugins not loading. Even when checking their settings within Outlook it shows me as having no apps assigned under admin-managed despite being able to log into the Outlook Web Mail service and see the very same plugins there. Outlook (V2205 - Enterprise Monthly Update Channel) Outlook for the Web I'm trying to identify if this is something that was introduced as part of the office update or some other security setting that is beginning to block these from loading. I should advise that the issue is intermittent for our users. Typically users will have to either close/relaunch Outlook when it goes missing. I've tried some local troubleshooting with certain machines. Erasing their Outlook profile along with their OST files and the plugins did load until the next day when they disappeared again. Needing some advise on what could be causing the add-ins to intermittently go away and come back.
Certificate issue from https://uci.cdn.office.net
Hi, One of the users of a Excel Js Add-in that I've recently had published to AppSource (Copy as List) has reported getting an Anti-Virus popup every time he starts Excel. From Avast anti-virus. The message is: Connection to this website is not secure. Avast has blocked access to https://uci.cdn.office.net/because one of the issuers of the server certificate has expired. Certificate: cdn.uci.officeapps.live.com Issuer: Microsoft Azure ECC TLS Issuing CA 01 Indeed, if I try to browse to that URL in Chrome, I get an error: "This server could not prove that it isuci.cdn.office.net; its security certificate expired in the last day. This may be caused by a misconfiguration or an attacker intercepting your connection. Your computer's clock is currently set to Friday 28 June 2024. Does that look right? If not, you should correct your system's clock and then refresh this page." Does anyone know what this is? Is it related to my add-in? How do I fix it? What advice do I give to my user? Thanks
Reinstalling Admin managed Outlook Add-Ins
One of our users is having issues with an Admin Managed Outlook Add-In, we deploy it to our whole organisation through the admin center. I do not see an option to reinstall it from the computer having issues, or a way from the admin center that doesn't affect the whole organisation.
Content Control getter not giving all characters | Word Add-in
Hi, I am working on Word add-in where I am able to set placeholder text for content control without any character limit but when I am trying to get the placeholder text using office JS methods, then it is returning only the first 255 characters string. If the same is set on content control object then the collection must return the whole text of the placeholder. Please provide a support for this issue as soon as possible. Code snippet :- Word.run((context) => { const range = context.document.getSelection(); // Insert a content control at the selection range const contentControl = range.insertContentControl(); // Set the placeholder text for the content control contentControl.placeholderText = "indiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaadsf asd fsdf[a]sd [fa]sd [fa]sd[ fa]sd f{}{}asd fsda:;asdfa sdf asd fasd asd fdfasd f@3323 q4q234q34dfasdf asd fasdf asd fasd fasd fasdf asd as fasd asdf asd asd fasdf asdf asd asd fasd fasd fasd asd sdafindiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaadsf asd fsdf[test test" // Load the changes made to the document return context.sync() .then(() => { console.log("Content control inserted with placeholder text:", contentControl.placeholderText); // returning only first 255 characters }); }) .catch((error) => { console.error("Error: " + JSON.stringify(error)); });Removing Outlook Add-ins From Mailboxes with PowerShell
The Share to Teams Outlook add-in posts an email to a Teams chat or channel conversation. I was asked how to disable the add-in for some mailboxes. Here’s how to do the job using PowerShell to find a set of target mailboxes and then turn off Send to Teams for each mailbox. https://office365itpros.com/2024/05/02/share-to-teams-disable/What are the costs associated with a SaaS-linked Office add-in?
Hi, I'm hoping to soon submit an addin for Excel, which I'd like to provide in a 'basic' and 'pro' feature set, where the 'pro' feature set is enabled by purchasing a subscription. Is it still correct that I have to do that by: - creating an Azure tenant - creating a SaaS application in Azure, using Microsoft's licensing - link the addin submission to the SaaS application in Partner Center? If so, what is the charging model for that? I guess that every time my addin starts, it has to check with the saas end-point to see if the user has a valid subscription. Is there any cost associated with that checking - i.e. does it count towards the number of 'hits' / logins my Azure subscription allows? Ideally, I'd be charged a small % of the subscription fee, with no per-usage charging of any form...
