Hello Techies, I recently came across an issue that could be a small issue according to you, but I feel these are very crucial for some users. I am going to be frequently using PowerPoint, where I use a particular font, 'Abadi.' I would appreciate it if someone could help me with a fix regarding this.9Views0likes0CommentsIssues with Sensitivity Labels and "Specific email addresses or domains" - Not working
Hello! We have enabled Sensitivity Labels in our tenant. The access control settings for the label states that a specific domain gets the permission "Co-Author". When we enable the Sensitivity label on a document and sent it towards the approved domain, it results in an error message when authenticating to open the document: "Selected user account does not exist in tenant 'Veni AS' and cannot access the application in that tenant. The account needs to be added as an external user in the tenant first. Please use a different account." After doing some research I did some changes to the external domain within the Cross-tenant settings. The external domain now has the following settings: Inbound access: Allow access on external users and groups, within B2B Collaboration Allow access on external users and groups, within B2B direct connect Trust multifactor authentication from Microsoft Entra tenants, within Trust settings. Outbound access: Allow access on users and groups, within B2B Collaboration Allow access on users and groups, within B2B direct connect External Identities: Block access for external users and groups. (Inherited from default) After doing this change, I no longer get the same error message as above when authenticating to open the labeled document. Now I get the following error message: "You are not signed in to office with an account that has permission to open this document. You may sign in a new account into Office that has permission or request permission from the content owner" I have this working from another tenant to the same external domain and I have cross-checked the settings. Any idea on how to proceed, or if it is any obvious change I need to make in order to get this to work? All feedback appreciated! :-)42Views1like0CommentsMicrosoft 365 Windows 11 external user or guest user sign in
Consider the following situation: CompanyA has a Microsoft 365 tenant with licensed users. CompanyA has a business relationship with CompanyB which also has a Microsoft 365 tenant. All of CompanyB's Windows 11 Pro computers are Entra ID joined and Intune enrolled. All of CompanyB's users have Microsoft 365 Business Premium licenses. An employee of CompanyA is stationed at CompanyB's office and needs to use one of CompanyB's computers as his primary computer. How would a technician have to configure things so that CompanyA user can sign into CompanyB's Windows 11 Pro computer and work like normal? I've done some reading online but most of the articles focus on access to cloud resources, whether that be Microsoft Teams or Entra Enterprise Apps or similar resources. I haven't found an article touching on Windows 11 sign in. Matthew191Views0likes1CommentEdit Existing Group Me Polls without Losing Responses
Description: Currently, once a poll is created in GroupMe, it cannot be edited. This can be problematic if the poll creator makes a mistake, such as a typo, missing option, or unclear wording. Additionally, there may be instances where the creator wants to adjust the poll to guide responses in a certain direction without resetting the vote count. Proposed Solution: Enable poll creators to make minor edits to existing polls while preserving responses. This could include: • Editing the poll question • Adding or modifying response options • Adjusting the poll duration To maintain fairness, GroupMe could notify participants when changes are made and provide an option to re-cast votes if necessary. Benefits: • Fixing Mistakes: If the creator accidentally includes a typo or omits an important option, they can correct it without restarting the poll. • Clarifying Questions: A vague or misleading poll question can be refined to ensure participants fully understand it. • Guiding Responses: In some cases, the creator may want to subtly steer the poll in a particular direction without losing previous engagement. This feature would improve usability and flexibility while keeping GroupMe polls engaging and relevant.78Views1like0CommentsAdd EXTERNAL Teams account details to a contact in the GAL
We collaborate a lot with another company who have their own tenant. When we want to message an “external” user in Teams we have not messaged before, we must first search and type in the full email address, then select "(External)" to message them. We also have these same users as contacts in our GAL for email. The problem we have is that when you start searching for the user, the GAL contact comes up first, and users think that this is the correct Teams user account so they select this instead of typing further to bring up the real external account. If they do make it as far as to type out the full email address, then two users show up, one from the GAL and one with "(external)" in it. This is not a great user experience. We'd like to know if there is a way in which we can import the external user to our GAL, or if we can populate the GAL contact with the Teams attributes of the external user. The end goal is to have a GAL contact which the user can click to message in Teams. Has anyone come across this before and has a solution?83Views1like2CommentsHow to add and grant access to external users for an M365 mailbox
Hello, what is the workaround to allow external users to share a mailbox? External users who are not within our domain should be able to send and receive emails using an address like (email address removed for privacy reasons). I have tried setting up both Shared and Group mailboxes, but it’s not possible to add external members, even after creating and inviting the external user in Entra and granting them access as a Guest or Member. These external users need to be able to log in to this mailbox to send and receive emails. As of now, it seems impossible to add or delegate external members. We do not require Teams or any other apps; we only need email/Outlook services. I have attempted multiple configurations, but nothing seems to work.2.2KViews0likes4CommentsSharing Excel sheet via embed into public web page without login
I am having difficulty sharing an Excel file to a public web page using the embed iFrame function. It embeds fine for me and I can view the web page, however a public user (or me using an incognito browser) is getting prompted to login to office 365. I need to display the data without login. I have Checked that sharing policies in Sharepoint admin centre are set to most permissive (both sharepoint and onedrive are set to "anyone" "Users can share files and folders using links that don't require sign-in." The Excel file is set (under manage access/share) "to anyone with link can view" What am I missing?

I have deployed M365DLP controls to block password protected atachments that cannot be scanned and am telling users to use Outlook Encryption instead to protect outgoing email attachments. However, a number of external companies have reported not being able to open the encrypted messages and the screenshots provided show that they are trying to authenticate as a guest user in my Entra ID instance (rather than using their own IdP, SSO or an OTP). What would cause that and how do I resolve?Solved3.3KViews0likes7Comments
