Hello everyone, I'm in the process of updating the passwords for multiple users, and I'd like to set specific passwords of my choice. Additionally, I want to ensure that these accounts won't prompt users to change their passwords upon their first login. I'd greatly appreciate your assistance, as the scripts I previously used are no longer effective.Solved19KViews0likes3CommentsUnable to access Office 365 admin account
Hi Team, I am the administrator of the domain of my organization xyz0.onmicrosoft.com. Unfortunately, I am currently unable to access it because I lost my phone, and I no longer have the Authenticator app. Additionally, I do not have a mobile number, or a recovery email associated with my account, making it challenging to regain access to my portal. On a positive note, I do have a personal account with the same email address, which I can access. I also remember the password for my business admin account. However, due to the loss of my mobile phone and the Authenticator app, I am unable to login as I don't have 2FA code. I urgently need your assistance because I need to migrate all my Rackspace emails to Microsoft. Please let me know what information or verification I require to confirm that I am the administrator of this account.. Thanks for your help.3.6KViews1like4CommentsOffice 365 tenant Admin account access lost
Hi Tech Friends, This is for one of our customer/client. Our customer is having on-premises exchange 2016 and they have/had one office365 tenant created by one CSP service provider/reseller for Office 365 for 2 licenses. The reseller who created Office365 tenant (@dxxxxxb.com) had kept all the access to themselves and never gave any username password access to the client as they said it's a managed services. Later on some disputes happened between client and reseller and reseller deactivated their licenses and also stopped any communication with client. Now the client who is rightful owner of the domain and thankfully having access to Domain DNS would like to purchase new Microsoft 365 Business Premium licenses while migrating exchange users to Office365 and also reactivate old licenses but unfortunately they don't have access of tenant Admin account and even don't have any idea which email ID reseller had used while creating original tenant. As per my knowledge for the same domain (@dxxxxxb.com) it's not possible to have multiple tenant ID or administrators, so is there any way where Microsoft can remove previous Admin account and help to activate tenant for the same domain with new admin account? Or is it possible to have multiple tenants admin account for the same domain and then remove old admin from Admin panel of Office365? I need help very urgently as I need to setup this weekend for migration. Thanks in advance.2.7KViews0likes4CommentsDefender for Endpoint for Kiosks

Hi Community, One of our customer raised the below query: There is a single Global Admin for their tenant that the organisation want to remove this account and there is no other Global Admins accounts in this Office 365 tenant. They are unable to use Delegated Admin at this stage as they do not want to inform the existing global admin account that they are planning to remove this account. What does the customer need to do to reclaim the tenant immediately once the the existing global admin user account has been removed without informing that account user? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!!1.8KViews0likes1CommentMinimum Role for Help Desk to Delete User/Reassign OneDrive
I've got my help desk people assigned to role 'User management administrator'. But when then try to do a 'delete' user in the admin portal, or try to access their OneDrive to reassign it to a manager (or just look to see if they've used it), they get an 'error accessing user...' I can do it as global. I've read all the descriptions and I can't figure out which roles I really need. I want them to be able to offboard a user - reset their password - delete them from online directory which prompts them to remove licensing/redirect their onedrive to their manager..... What am I missing?Solved1.3KViews0likes2CommentsSign up for Windows known issue email alerts on Microsoft 365 admin center
