Logins via the Network Policy Server (NPS) fail.
Hello folks, Hope you are doing well and great. I have trouble with Certificate Authentication in our network environment. Let's explain in detail: 1- Our clients have a user certificate and a computer certificate issued by the Internal CA. 2-Clients try to connect to the NPS via wireless. 3-NPS communicates with the local Domain Controller and authenticates clients. Everything is ok so far. Once we decided to update one of our domain controllers to the latest patches and security updates, after a while we faced the above error on NPS, hence I have changed the DNS and functionality of NPS to another DC which isn't updated. After almost one month, we faced the above error on some sites. I have to emphasize on those sites, we have a local DC that wasn't updated, so we expected that the issue was not related to the update or any KB. After digging into this error and conducting research on the Internet, I realized the issue is related to the specific KB Microsoft release in May 2022 that affects certificate authentication. I know the best solution is updating all DCs, but for now it isn't possible for us, so I decided to find a solution temporarily to ignore this security issue, I have done all the solutions that were recommended on the Internet, but the issue still exists. Now, are there any solutions to fix the problem except updating all DCs? By the way, I found this link but I couldn't find workaround to fix the problem: https://www.gradenegger.eu/en/logins-via-the-network-policy-server-nps-fail-with-reason-authentication-failed-due-to-a-user-credentials-mismatch-either-the-user-name-provided-does-no/
Switching Tenants/Profiles in Office for the Mac
I have accounts in multiple M365 tenants. I use a Mac. When I edit a document, I need to make sure the edits are occurring from the account in the correct tenant. I cannot figure out how to change my active account in Word (or other Office applications) so it is from a specific tenant. How do I do this? I know how to do it on a PC, and it works perfectly. I NEED that same functionality on the Mac.
Windows11 remote desktop does not work with non ascii chars in username
After updating my system from Windows10 to Windows11 I am unable to login via remote desktop into another computer where the login contains a non ascii character. It always displays that provided credentials do not work despite providing the correct ones. That another computer has 2 accounts on it, where one of those contains non ascii character and the other one does not. I am only not able to login on the one with non ascii character. The other one works seamlessly. Couple years ago on that other computer I changes the username to not contain non ascii character, but unfortunately Windows lies about changing username because it only changes the displayed name. Couple weeks ago I tried to change all the registry keys which contain the username with non ascii char (while being logged on the other account), but after restart Windows always changes them back. Two questions: 1. What shell I do to be able to use RDP on Windows 11 and be able to login to a computer with non ascii char in a username? 2. Or what shell I do to force Windows10 (the other computer) to change the username to not contain the non-asci char?

How to Get Microsoft Teams Phone Service Refund - Support System Completely Broken
I need help getting a refund from Microsoft for the Teams Phone service that has not been provided for 6 weeks. What Happened: Paid for Teams Phone - Domestic Calling 6 weeks ago Cannot activate due to Microsoft's broken domain verification process Multiple support agents across different teams - all incompetent Microsoft admits their phone services are "not operational" with no ETA Current Situation: Agent took ownership of refund request days ago Complete radio silence since claiming it was "escalated" Still being charged for a service I cannot use due to Microsoft's own system failures What I Need: How to actually get a refund processed from Microsoft? Escalation contacts for refund issues? Anyone successfully gotten refunds for unusable Microsoft services? Business Impact: As a small business CEO, I've wasted 6 weeks and lost revenue dealing with Microsoft's dysfunction. I no longer want their service - I just want my money back. Has anyone dealt with similar Microsoft refund issues? How did you get it resolved? Any guidance appreciated - their support system is completely broken.Teams Phone Domain Verification - Weeks of Delays Despite Providing All Required Documents
I'm a small business CEO in Germany, trying to verify my domain for Microsoft Teams Phone. I've been stuck in verification for WEEKS despite providing all required documentation multiple times. Documents Provided: Official Namecheap Order Summary (domain purchase receipt from August 2025) Official domain ownership transfer confirmation to my company SPONTANEUS UG All information requested: domain name, owner, registration date, duration, registrar The Problem: Microsoft support repeatedly rejects these standard domain registration documents, asking for the same information. The requirements keep changing mid-process, and when I request escalation to a supervisor, the requests are ignored. Business Impact: I've paid for Teams Phone, but I'm unable to activate it. This is preventing me from making business calls to prospects - directly impacting my ability to generate revenue. What I Need: Someone at Microsoft who can actually read standard domain registration receipts Escalation beyond the current support agent, who keeps copy-pasting the same responses Teams Phone activation so I can run my business Has anyone experienced similar domain verification issues with Microsoft Teams Phone? How did you get it resolved? Any guidance on proper escalation channels would be greatly appreciated. This shouldn't take weeks when I have all the proper documentation from a major registrar like Namecheap.
MFA Initial Setup Now Now Longer Offers Security Keys
Hi Microsoft Community, We're trialling FIDO2 keys for our organisation as a priamry means of MFA. We bought a handful of keys to test with a month or so ago, and at the time using a Security Key was an option on first account setup, i.e. after you have provided your microsoft ID and password you are then taken to the Initial Setup wizard. However on testing it now seems like the only options present to the user on initial setup are Authenticator, Hardware Token, and Phone Number. Why/has Microsoft changed approach here, and is there an option to permit use of a Security Key on this pane, as I can not find a setting for this within the Admin Console. It is worth noting that we can use Authenticator on this screen to complete the process, then go to Microsoft Account Security page, add a secondary means of MFA (Security Key), and then delete the original Authenticator method, leaving us with just the Security Key. Of course, this is not practical given we intended to be totally hands-off with our deployment. Many ThanksTCP'connections not closed when using MSappproxy
Hi, We are currently having issues with TCP connections just keep filling up on the server side, that will eventually result in out of memory so that we will have to do a hard shutdown. We are seeing this in the error logs: Object was GCed but not disposed. Any suggestions?2fa (two factor authentication) not appearing when logging into website
