Hi Everyone, I can't get Outlook on my android phone (Samsung S9) to sync contact automatically with my Exchange (Microsoft Hosted Exchange) account. If I add a contact on the Outlook app running on my Windows 10 laptop, I can see it if I look on the Outlook for web. I have checked the usual settings on my phone: The only way to get the contacts to update is to reset the account: Contacts that I add on my phone (Exchange account) do not sync back to the online account. Outlook on my phone syncs emails with the same account normally. I've tried clearing data / cache, and even taken the extra step of uninstalling and reinstalling on my phone but it makes no difference Any suggestions gladly welcomed!2.4KViews0likes1CommentReplying to emails from M365 Outlook group
A problem I am stumped with, so I am reaching out for some help/guidance. One group wants to not have the emails going into their own inbox but manage and reply only from the group inbox itself (so they know the email has been processed by deleting it once replied). It worked OK to begin with and then some users couldn't reply, then more. Some still can. I have tried reindexing local copy, using browser instead of app & changing the send on behalf of permissions. Owner or member of group doesn't seem to make a difference. Error messages include "This message can't be sent because it no longer exists. It can only be discarded. Make sure you copy the contents of the message before you discard if you want to use them later." and "Couldn't send this message". Please see screenshots attached. My questions: 1: Is Outlook on M365 designed to allow users to reply from the group either as the "group" or as themselves? Information I found isn't clear. 2: If it is / can be - what can I do to make it work for all users? Thanks!45Views0likes0CommentsCreate bookingStaffMember also requires Add-MailboxPermission
I created an Entra application with the required Graph permissions to manage Bookings scheduling mailboxes so that I could update the staffing for a Bookings page that I'm not a staff member of. Using that application to request a Microsoft Graph access token, meant I had the required permissions to add a user account (that already had a Bookings license) as an "administrator" (role) for a Bookings page (Bookings business), to replace another person who was the previous Bookings page administrator, but who had since left. I used https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/bookingbusiness-post-staffmembers?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=powershell to do this. For the record, I was not able to do this using https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.graph.bookings/new-mgbookingbusinessstaffmember?view=graph-powershell-1.0 using Microsoft.Graph.Bookings module version 2.30.0, presumably because I am not a staff member with the Bookings "administrator" role for that particular Bookings page. However, the newly added user could not access that Bookings page at https://outlook.office.com/bookings/homepage until a further step had been completed (Error: "You don't have access to this booking page" shows instead). To ensure the new Bookings page administrator could access the Bookings page, I needed to add mailbox permissions, which I used https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/exchangepowershell/add-mailboxpermission?view=exchange-ps for. I found that giving the new Bookings page administrator full access to the scheduling mailbox ensured they could access the Bookings page. Example using ExchangeOnlineManagement PowerShell module: Add-MailboxPermission -Identity email address removed for privacy reasons -User email address removed for privacy reasons -AccessRights FullAccess If there is a more efficient way for an system admin to add new staff to a Bookings page, please let me know - otherwise, hopefully this helps someone who gets stuck 😊58Views0likes1CommentPractical Graph: Analyzing External Meeting Participants for Teams Meetings
A reader asked if it's possible to analyze the external meeting participants for Teams online events. The information is available through the Events Graph API, and some PowerShell code written using the Graph PowerShell SDK quickly extracts events to analyze and determine the set of external domains meeting participants come from. https://practical365.com/external-meeting-participants-analysis/23Views0likes0CommentsUnable to whitelist quarantined emails
We have an email that is being constantly quarantined from a webform. The email comes from the email of the web form server, but is spoofing an internal address in our tenant by design. The email keeps getting blocked, and nothing we've tried as far as transport rules, whitelist additions, etc has been able to discernably affect this. There is a option to create a tenant allow list entry but the maximum duration is 45 days. We need a way to reliably whitelist an email indefinitely.98Views0likes1Comment
