Adding domain to Office 365 caused outlook to point to office 365 instead of on-premises exchange
Dear All, i have the following situation and need an advice please: * We have office 365 account for using Microsoft Apps with 80 users added to it with abc.onmicrosoft.com domain. * We have Exchange 2013 server on premise with our abc.net domain with the same usernames available on office 365 admin center. * We added our abc.net domain to the admin center as a second domain so that the users can access Teams, One drive and other Apps using the same email address abc.net instead of abc.onmicrosoft.com. The license is Microsoft Business Standard. * Everything went fine at the beginning and then outlook started pointing to the office365 accounts instead of the on premise Exchange server although when the domain added, the option of not connecting the services was selected. is there a way to use the same domain and keep services separated? thank you
Transfering domain.com to domain.onmicrosoft.com account
OK, so finally, I got around to trying again. Previously, I got to entering the domain, then the user name and told to wait for an email that never came. This time, the email finally came. As a "you have been invited to join the Microsoft Store for Business" email .. nothing to do with "domain sign up". Signed out of the domain.onmicrosoft.com and into my domain.com account as per instructions. Now it asks to verify my domain with a TXT record. Fair enough, easy to do. However, to do it, I must disconnect from my current host's DNS. Though they are fairly unresponsive knowing that they're going to lose our web and email hosting business, I guess if there is an issue, I can always reconnect it. BUT, I'd like to be pre-informed before I make this move to minimize down time and looking blankly wondering "what next". After the steps listed here, at step 8, when it says "finished", does it port my 49 users from domain.onmicrosoft.com onto the new domain.com account? Or at the very least, will the two domains will join in one organization? https://docs.microsoft.com/en-US/microsoft-365/admin/setup/add-domain?view=o365-worldwideDeploy Open Web UI on Azure VM via Docker: A Step-by-Step Guide with Custom Domain Setup.
Introductions Open Web UI (often referred to as "Ollama Web UI" in the context of LLM frameworks like Ollama) is an open-source, self-hostable interface designed to simplify interactions with large language models (LLMs) such as GPT-4, Llama 3, Mistral, and others. It provides a user-friendly, browser-based environment for deploying, managing, and experimenting with AI models, making advanced language model capabilities accessible to developers, researchers, and enthusiasts without requiring deep technical expertise. This article will delve into the step-by-step configurations on hosting OpenWeb UI on Azure. Requirements: Azure Portal Account - For students you can claim $USD100 Azure Cloud credits from this URL. Azure Virtual Machine - with a Linux of any distributions installed. Domain Name and Domain Host Caddy Open WebUI Image Step One: Deploy a Linux – Ubuntu VM from Azure Portal Search and Click on “Virtual Machine” on the Azure portal search bar and create a new VM by clicking on the “+ Create” button > “Azure Virtual Machine”. Fill out the form and select any Linux Distribution image – In this demo, we will deploy Open WebUI on Ubuntu Pro 24.04. Click “Review + Create” > “Create” to create the Virtual Machine. Tips: If you plan to locally download and host open source AI models via Open on your VM, you could save time by increasing the size of the OS disk / attach a large disk to the VM. You may also need a higher performance VM specification since large resources are needed to run the Large Language Model (LLM) locally. Once the VM has been successfully created, click on the “Go to resource” button. You will be redirected to the VM’s overview page. Jot down the public IP Address and access the VM using the ssh credentials you have setup just now. Step Two: Deploy the Open WebUI on the VM via Docker Once you are logged into the VM via SSH, run the Docker Command below: docker run -d --name open-webui --network=host --add-host=host.docker.internal:host-gateway -e PORT=8080 -v open-webui:/app/backend/data --restart always ghcr.io/open-webui/open-webui:dev This Docker command will download the Open WebUI Image into the VM and will listen for Open Web UI traffic on port 8080. Wait for a few minutes and the Web UI should be up and running. If you had setup an inbound Network Security Group on Azure to allow port 8080 on your VM from the public Internet, you can access them by typing into the browser: [PUBLIC_IP_ADDRESS]:8080 Step Three: Setup custom domain using Caddy Now, we can setup a reverse proxy to map a custom domain to [PUBLIC_IP_ADDRESS]:8080 using Caddy. The reason why Caddy is useful here is because they provide automated HTTPS solutions – you don’t have to worry about expiring SSL certificate anymore, and it’s free! You must download all Caddy’s dependencies and set up the requirements to install it using this command: sudo apt install -y debian-keyring debian-archive-keyring apt-transport-https curl -1sLf 'https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/caddy/stable/gpg.key' | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/caddy-stable-archive-keyring.gpg curl -1sLf 'https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/caddy/stable/debian.deb.txt' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/caddy-stable.list sudo apt update && sudo apt install caddy Once Caddy is installed, edit Caddy’s configuration file at: /etc/caddy/Caddyfile , delete everything else in the file and add the following lines: yourdomainname.com { reverse_proxy localhost:8080 } Restart Caddy using this command: sudo systemctl restart caddy Next, create an A record on your DNS Host and point them to the public IP of the server. Step Four: Update the Network Security Group (NSG) To allow public access into the VM via HTTPS, you need to ensure the NSG/Firewall of the VM allow for port 80 and 443. Let’s add these rules into Azure by heading to the VM resources page you created for Open WebUI. Under the “Networking” Section > “Network Settings” > “+ Create port rule” > “Inbound port rule” On the “Destination port ranges” field, type in 443 and Click “Add”. Repeat these steps with port 80. Additionally, to enhance security, you should avoid external users from directly interacting with Open Web UI’s port - port 8080. You should add an inbound deny rule to that port. With that, you should be able to access the Open Web UI from the domain name you setup earlier. Conclusion And just like that, you’ve turned a blank Azure VM into a sleek, secure home for your Open Web UI, no magic required! By combining Docker’s simplicity with Caddy’s “set it and forget it” HTTPS magic, you’ve not only made your app accessible via a custom domain but also locked down security by closing off risky ports and keeping traffic encrypted. Azure’s cloud muscle handles the heavy lifting, while you get to enjoy the perks of a pro setup without the headache.

Hi there! I can't seem to register my domain on O365. I get to this screen and the email never arrives in my Zimbra, which I am migrating from. Zimbra is working fine though as I tested sending email to myself. It could well be because of this: While testing the product, a few people signed up for a free O365 personal account with our domain in their signup email: jeremy@domain.com However, we have 47 Business Essentials licences now for the company and we'd like to regain our domain for the company. We are currently just using Teams / OneDrive on the @domain.onmicrosoft.com address, but we would like to use Outlook too for our email. I checked both my current Zimbra mail AND the Outlook.com email I signed up with the same email address. Unfortunately, I don't see the Microsoft email there in either account. Where do I go from here? Thanks!
Blob Storage aggregation across domain / subscriptions to reduce cost --- possible
Block Blob storage has pricing tiers based on TB stored. You receive a discount for each level you achieve. These tiers exist for all Storage Account Type i.e. Blob, General Purpose v1 and v2. I wanted to know if there is a mechanism to "link" tenant domains and or Azure subscriptions to aggregate the total amount of data stored in blob cool such that I could achieve the lower cost spend tiers more quickly. Trying to think of ways to save money. Thank you
Redirect SharePoint Website to new Homepage.
Hello, my problem is that if you follow the URL (created by system account): "https://companynamexyz.sharepoint.com" (Page A) via mobil, as a normal user you will end on: "https://companynamexyz.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/touchapp.aspx?Mode=TeamSite&Page=ListOfApps&Path=" (Page B) But I want to redirect the User to our original Intranet Homepage. (Page C) So I managed to at a webpart script and redirect the User if they open Page A on a Computer. Unfortunately this doesn't work for mobil devices. Page C is already set as Homepage. I can't edit Page A in Admin-Center. Is there a different way to successfully end on Page C if you open Page A on any device? Thank you in advance. Best Regards, AdrianInability of Service Provider to be a Multi-Tenant Organization (PREVIEW)
Hello, I'm new here, so pardon me if I'm doing this wrong. My boss has asked me to check into this Multi-Tenant Organization thing and I was able to create it on our tenant. However we are a Service Provider organization and upon inviting another Tenant, I was awarded with this error: "Error-Action 103: Service providers cannot be part of a multi-tenant organization." Is this reall a thing, and we won't be able to configure this to ourselves? I mean, we are a group and we have two tenants, we need to allow comunication between them both, and this seemed like a good starting point. Can you guys help me out on this?
How to- and impact of combining users in Microsoft 365
Hi, We have our domain "domain.com.ar" and bought the same domain name but with only ".com" ("domain.com") to operate in other countries. First we created a new users using the new domain because we didnt know the impact it will have in our business to change the mail address for old users. Now we want to merge them together. Our solution is to add "email address removed for privacy reasons" as alias and then set it as primary mail address, is that correct? So we need to delete the user we created to add it. And the problem is that we dont want to lose anything for those temporary accounts. -Users: tomas @ domain . com .ar -Temporary users: tomas @ domain . com We want to know How to merge them together and leave email address removed for privacy reasons as primary without losing anything from both users? Impacts this will have. Best regards, Tomas Cossara
