Standard Operating Procedures in OneNote - Best Method?
Hi, I've been in business for over 18 years, with 6 employees. We have over 300 policies and procedures that have been written and rewritten. They have always been stored on our Sharepoint server in a regular file folder structure that syncs to our computers. Because of it, nobody uses them for they are difficult to find. Sometimes you don't know the name of what you're looking for, other times its an SOP that could be under production or finance. The system has just never worked. I'm currently implementing a system in OneNote. I have it set up where our 9 primary areas are all tabs. There then exists sections for checklists, specific procedures, and then one large 20-30 page manual for that department that discusses in detail everything that needs to be known. An example is in the 23-page Marketing Manual, there are five paragraphs explaining what brand colors are, why they are important, and why we can't stray from them. It then has a few links to reference other documents, one of them is our Branding Sheet that is a Word document, stored inside OneNote. OneNote is also great because it's desktop software that each of our computers has, every single document can be searched at once, you can utilize links to any part that you'd like, you can utilize tags, and you can store the referenced document inside OneNote (so I don't have to deal with somebody changing the file name or somehow breaking the link to the server. I haven't released it yet, but my employees say they would use it if it were easy. As I'm slowly going through and entering the SOPs into OneNote, I'm finding minor issues with my system in OneNote The formatting is VERY limited. So making a great SOP is not as easy as it is in Word Once I have everything in there, I dont think I can get it back out in an editable fashion. I can print the .pdf but it's not like it's a Word document that can be moved around You can't really set permissions on it. I can lock pages, which would work, but I'd prefer permission on different areas Getting everything in there is going to be challenging enough, then I have to go back and link everything. Before I spend too much time organizing these SOPs and copy/pasting them into OneNote, I was hoping that somebody has gone down this road before and can either advise me away from OneNote to another product or offer advice as to why I should keep going down my path. Thanks in advance. Aaron

NgcSet stays NO despite working WHFB setup - RPC 0x800706ba error
Hi everyone, I need help with a Windows Hello for Business certificate trust deployment that's almost working but stuck on the final step. **What's Working:** - Manual certificate enrollment works perfectly: `certreq -enroll -user -config "MyCA.domain.local\MyCA-CA" "MyWHFBTemplate"` - TPM 2.0 is ready, enabled, and functional - All Group Policies applied correctly (computer and user) - CA server healthy, templates published **What's NOT Working:** - `dsregcmd /status` shows `NgcSet : NO` (should be YES) - `NgcSvc` (Microsoft Passport) service is stopped on client - Getting error: "RPC server is unavailable (0x800706ba)" during automatic certificate enrollment - PIN setup fails because NGC containers won't create **The Strange Part:** Manual certificate enrollment works perfectly, but automatic enrollment fails with RPC errors. Both should use the same communication path to the CA. **Environment:** - On-premises certificate trust deployment (no Azure AD) - Domain-joined Windows 11 clients - Windows Server 2019/2022 infrastructure **Questions:** 1. Should NgcSvc start automatically when WHFB policies are applied? 2. Why would manual cert enrollment work but automatic fail with RPC errors? 3. Is there a difference in how system context vs user context accesses the CA? Has anyone seen this specific combination before? Any ideas what could cause this behavior? Thanks for any help!
Adding Proxy Addresses in AD Before Tenant-to-Tenant Migration Cutover
We're in the process of migrating users from another M365 tenant into our own, which is synced with on-prem AD. Before the cutover, we'd like to add the proxy addresses from the source tenant to our AD and have them sync to the cloud once the domain is added to our M365 tenant. Would this work as expected, or are there any potential issues to be aware of?Microsoft O365 Auto Login
I want to set up auto-login for the O365 desktop application. When a user logs in to an on-premises AD-joined device, the O365 application should automatically log in with their AAD credentials. I have an AAD subscription, and user sign-in is configured with password hash synchronization. Additionally, I have enabled SSO on the Azure AD Connect application. Please note that the end-user devices are not Azure AD-joined.
Remove On Premises exchange Hybrid and go fully Online
Hello, I currently have a scenario where there is a Hybrid Exchange environment with 1 server. All my mailboxes have been migrated online. I would like to completely remove dependency on local AD and I do not care about AD synchronization. How do I "tell" the O365 tenant not function on it's own so that I can manage 100% from 365 Administration? I do understand that my MX and other DNS records will need to be changed. Are there any solid guides out there on decommissioning the on premise exchange server. I want to do this with the least impact on users. Thanks, KeithMoving Exchange Account Source Account
I have a very complex environment I'm hoping someone might jump start my search. We have two domains syncing to Entra ID. One domain is a resource forest where our Exchange environment sits. That domain contains disabled stub accounts synced to our primary domain where the actual user accounts sit. The source for all EXO mailboxes are the stubs in the resource forest. Those accounts are kept in sync using FIM 2008. We're wanting to decom that entire resource environment and move all of the attributes to the primary domain. The resource domain schema is the last version of Ex 2016. The primary domain schema is Ex 2010 SP1. I know my first step is to update the primary schema, however, has anyone encountered a situation like this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.Support tickets unresolved after 11 months; escalation requests ignored; stuck in a feedback loop
Hello, We have been unable to update O365 applications for close to a year now. When we update the applications, our end-users are unable to authenticate and receive 1001 errors. We have had a support ticket open now for 11 months. We are stuck in a loop where support asks us to demonstrate the issue. I can consistently reproduce this issue. This is a cry for help. Thanks to anyone who has any suggestions.
