Centralize Contact Management in a small organization
Hi! This is a cross post with: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Exchange/Restrict-user-to-only-create-edit-Mail-Contacts-user-sees/m-p/756512#M3703 I'm looking for a way to centralize contact management in a small organization. As an example: an assistant is asked to digitalize business cards. These contacts then need to be available to multiple people in the organization. Copying it to everyones Personal Contacts (in their exchange mailbox) would be weird I guess. Normally, and in every other organization I would think of Outlook Customer Manager. In this specific use case though, the company is only using Outlook on Mac and I found out that Outlook Customer Manager is missing lots of features compared to it's Windows counterpart. My next guess is the Global Address List. But it's management is hard. Only done in the Exchange Admin Center.... and it's not very user friendly. But it will do if GAL is the way to go. So, what is your advise in a Windows based organization (90% of my customers) and what in an Apple based organization? (third party suggestions are welcome, but would like to know Microsofts way to go)
Account Locked (Try another verification method)
My main account is locked. I have access to authenticator and my verification email, where I am getting the codes for verification. When I try to unlock the account it asks for verifiaction code sent to authenticator and then at email. When given both codes it goes to reset password and after reseting password it wants me to login and when I do that it says my account is locked and asks me to verify myself through phone number. After i give it the phone number it displays. "Try another verification method That verification method isn't working right now. Please try another method." I can't connect to an agent for help cuz it wants me to login from that email which I can't access.
UNABLE TO LOG IN, SOMETHING WENT WRONG
This is getting annoying, been trying to log into my M365 account for a week, but all I'm getting is "Something went wrong - Try again later" I've been trying to sign in via my Mac, I've tried multiple browsers still not working. And I've left multiple reports to no avail, there is no where to contact a helpdesk. this is getting frustrating, I am this close to cancelling my account, and going back to google.Outgoing emails falsely marked as SPAM / Phishing emails by Outlook servers
Since 10/26/21 our organization has been experiencing widespread email deliverability issues with Microsoft / Outlook clients. These are legitimate / wanted emails sent to opted-in users - existing clients who are expecting our emails. These emails are falsely being quarantined / sent to spam, or even rejected in some cases, specifically by Microsoft 365 / Outlook receiving servers. We've been thoroughly testing for the past 6 weeks and it appears to be specific to our domain and not related to our email sending platforms or IPs. This issue has been persisting across our entire organization. Our DKIM / SPF records are all implemented correctly. We're using Dmarcian, HetrixTools to monitor / confirm these DNS settings. We have also retained two email deliverability consultants, who have checked our domain settings. They've also confirmed that they believe this is an internal false flag on Microsoft's side. For the past 6 weeks, we have been in touch with Outlook Deliverability Team and countless support staff. The issue has been escalated and we have provided them with email samples of quarantined / rejected email headers, but still the issue remains prevalent and unresolved. This issue is severely impacting our business, as our clients are unable to receive emails / work product for which they have already paid. We are desperate and seeking assistance / guidance from someone on the Microsoft Outlook Team, who can kindly escalate this issue, and advise us on next steps to delist our domain from their internal blacklists. Again, this issue is impacting existing client relationships. Clients who are not receiving wanted emails in order to conduct business.
