M365 AuditLogs do not show a CascadeDelete operation
I have a few lists in SPO that are connected (call them Parent, Child1, Child2 for example) via lookup columns. I am trying to implement a delete item action in the parent list that would delete the related items in Child1, Child2 etc., that are pointing to this. The Cascade Delete operation itself works but when I am reviewing the AuditLogs for the operation, I am only seeing a ListItemViewed operation against the item in the Parent List that I am deleting. In the browser trace, I can see us making a POST to /_api/web/lists(@a1)/GetItemById(@a2)/recycle?@a1={LISTID}&@a2={ITEMID} for this action.
Trouble Setting Up Computer
Here's my dilemma: I'm setting up a new computer. Updates download and install just fine. I'm clicking through the pages, country, keyboard, etc. I get to to the one that wants you to set up your Microsoft account. I enter my email, then request a code, then enter the code. I get a page saying that since I didn't use a password that I need to create a PIN. I click on the Create PIN button and get a page that just spins and spins and spins and spins. I get someone on the tech support chat. We do the whole hold-the-power-button-for-5-seconds thing. The setup starts over. This time I request a password after I enter my email. I get sent to the same page saying that since I didn't use a password I needed to create a PIN. I click on the Create PIN button and get the page that perpetually spins. It never goes to the page to create a PIN. I wait for a while, like minutes, like unusually long for a page to load. I the routine several more times. Same result. I create a new account, use a new email address, new password, same thing. Internet connection is stable. Same behavior on a different Internet connection. The Create PIN page is not working. Also, one should not be required to sign in or create an account to set up a computer. There is no way to skip it. Moreover, the program sends you to the "since you didn't enter a password" page whether you entered a password or not. Additionally, I already a PIN, I'm being asked to create things that should already be associated with my account, it found my email and password, why not my PIN? I'm just trying to set up this Lenovo. Thoughts?
Can't Login to Authenticator App
I am unable to login to my Microsoft 365 Business account, because I'm unable to login to my Authenticator App. I am also the only administrator on my business account, so no one in my organization can help me. Microsoft online support and phone support just keep sending me in circles. The only way I see to create a support ticket is to login, but my issue is that I can't login. Help, please!Move files from Account A to Account B 165 GB data
I’ve been using Microsoft Office 365 Family for several years, sharing it with my family members. We have 6 accounts, each with 1 TB of storage. One of my accounts has now reached 985 GB, so I need to transfer files from Account A (my account) to Account B (my wife’s account). These files mainly consist of photos and videos — over 200,000 files in total. I tried transferring a 6 GB wedding shoot (.ISO format), but it took more than an hour. Re-downloading and uploading all the data isn’t feasible as my internet connectivity is limited to 100 mbps only. I’m looking for the best and most efficient way to move these files directly between OneDrive accounts.
What to do? SE or Decommission
I’ll start by outlining our current environment for context: Two standalone Exchange Server 2016 VMs. Primarily used for recipient management in a hybrid setup. Also functions as an anonymous relay for two LOB applications — one of which requires the mail service to reside on the same network as the application (as per vendor requirement). We have not opted for Extended Support (ESU) and installed the latest available Security Update last week. Management has been presented with the following options to move forward: 1) Perform a legacy upgrade — build two new servers and migrate from Exchange 2016 to Subscription Edition (SE). 2) Migrate LOB applications to another SMTP service — this would allow continued use of Exchange Management Shell for recipient management (by setting up a new server, preparing the schema for SE, and following Microsoft’s decommissioning process). 3) Migrate both LOB applications to another SMTP service and management to alternative platforms such as Easy365 or ManageEngine, removing the dependency on Exchange entirely. This post is mainly to gather some insights and general discussion around the best path forward. From a risk management perspective, since we’re effectively sitting on a time bomb without further Microsoft updates, I’m leaning toward option 2, especially given that all mailboxes have long been migrated to Exchange Online. What should I be watching out for with this approach? It seems many have taken a similar path — I’d appreciate hearing about any challenges or pitfalls you encountered and how you mitigated them during implementation.
Outlook broke after Office 365 update to 16.0.19328.20158 – cannot open emails Windows Server 2016
Hello everyone, posting to report that after the latest automatic update to Microsoft Office 365 version 16.0.19328.20158, we are experiencing a critical issue on multiple company machines running Windows Server 2016: The Outlook desktop application launches normally, but when trying to open any email, the following error appears: “There was a problem opening this item... The text formatting command is not available... Reinstall Microsoft Outlook.” Launching Outlook in safe mode (Outlook /safe) does not help. Creating the FORMS2 folder (suggested workaround) does not fix it. Attempting a downgrade via OfficeC2RClient.exe fails with error 30183-27 (400). Quick/online repair from Control Panel also has no effect. In our environment, this issue appeared simultaneously on many workstations and servers, right after the Office update today. Temporary solution: We are instructing users to access their mail via Outlook Web App (OWA), which is not affected by this bug. We would like to know: If others have experienced this bug with this build, including on Windows Server 2016 If any working workaround exists, or an official fix timeframe from Microsoft Thanks to anyone who can share their experience or updates!
Subtasks - What level is needed?
My company is looking into utilizing our Planner so that multiple people have access to the same plan, but for the team to create subtasks we have to purchase premium plans. What level (1, 3 or 5) is needed to create a subtask? The breakdown found https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/planner/microsoft-planner-plans-and-pricing does not specify subtasks.

Unified Company Calendar for Mixed Microsoft 365 and Non-365 Users – 2025
Seeking a Shared Calendar Solution for Mixed Microsoft 365 and Non-365 Users I’m working on a solution to create a shared company calendar that everyone in our organization can view, while keeping editing permissions limited to a few selected individuals. The challenge: Some of our team members do not use Microsoft 365, and I’d like them to still be able to subscribe to or view the calendar and receive updates. Ideally, this should work without requiring full Microsoft accounts. I initially considered using an ICS-based calendar, but it seems Microsoft 365 Group calendars don’t support sharing via ICS links. I also explored creating a Group calendar as suggested in other threads, but ran into issues making it accessible to external users or those without 365 accounts. For context, I’m a Global Admin, so I have full access to configure settings in the Microsoft 365 Admin Center and Exchange if needed. We’re a small business, and our main goal is to have a centralized calendar for vacation schedules and company-wide events. It should be simple to access and maintain, with a focus on collaboration and accessibility across the board. What I’m looking for: A calendar that’s viewable by all, including non-M365 users Editable only by a few delegated team members Compatible with Microsoft 365, but not dependent on it for basic access Any tools, workarounds, or best practices that have worked for others in similar hybrid environmentsHide Sheet after missusing shortcut Alt+H+W
I was working on an inventory and frequently using the shortcut mentioned above. Unfortunately, during one of those times, I must have misused it, and my sheet became hidden. Since then, I’ve tried multiple methods to unhide it, but none have worked. I would really appreciate your assistance in resolving this issue.
