I've had a ticket open with Microsoft for a couple of weeks trying to track down why conversations in a group mailbox were mysteriously dissapearing. I was finally able to do some digging in the mailbox audit logs for one of the affected groups, and found some logs showing that the messages were being deleted by some random user, (who is not an owner of the group, just a member) using the Outlook for iOS. Search-MailboxAuditLog -Identity groupname@example.com -GroupMailbox -showdetails -startDate 2019-09-26T08:40-7 -EndDate 2019-09-26T08:57-7 ...truncated... Operation : SoftDelete OperationResult : Succeeded ClientInfoString : Client=OutlookService;Outlook-iOS/2.0; InternalLogonType : Delegated MailboxOwnerUPN : groupname@example.com LogonUserDisplayName : John Smith (User who I was logged in as) SourceItemSubjectsList : Subject of test email ...truncated... I confirmed this is happening, logged in as a non-owner in Outlook 2019 or Outlook on the Web I can't delete messages from that group, but logged in as the same user in Outlook for iOS I can delete anything. Can anyone else confirm whether they can do the same thing in their tenant? I'm worried about whether this is a bug in the iOS app itself or just with our tenant.6.5KViews0likes5CommentsOffline Global Address Book Shows Hidden Office 365 Groups
How do I hide Office 365 Group email addresses from the OFFLINE Global Address List? They are hidden from the normal Global Address list via PowerShell commands. However, I cannot get them to be hidden in the OFFLINE Global Address List Here are the steps I've taken so far: Note: We are federated and synch from AD on prem to Azure AD Used the HiddenFromExchangeClientsEnabled cmdlet This was successful in removing the group from the "groups" section in my Outlook left hand navigation I also believe it serves a dual purpose of also hiding the email address from the standard Global Address List. I've seen folks say that HiddenFromExchangeClientsEnabled will only remove the group from Outlooks navigation section; however, the Microsoft documentation says that HiddenFromExchangeClientsEnabled will automatically evoke the HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled $True function. Just to be on the save side, I ran the HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled $True separately and I received a notice that the cmdlet ran successfully but that no changes were made...which verifies what I said above Additionally, I updated the Offline Global address book via the "send/receive" tab in the Outlook client After doing all of this, I am still able to search for and find the hidden group in the OFFLINE Global Address List. The normal Global Address List is working as expected. However, this does me no good if the Offline Global Address List is still showing an Office 365 group email address that I want to be hidden. Also, it has NOT been 24 hours since I hid the email. Maybe I just need to be patient enough for the Offline Global Address List to update on its own.Solved9.6KViews0likes3CommentsGroups: Tenant to tenant migration
After a merge we are in the process of moving as much content as possible from one tenant to another. The process a moving a unified group looks easy. Evaluate which groups should be migrated (and which groups should be abandoned) Create the corresponding group in the new tenant Use a migration tool to copy the content between mailboxes Use a migration tool to copy the SharePoint content between tenants. There are a few things that are not so easy however: Planner migration (which I suspect will be a manual process) Connector migration which will absolutely be a manual process I'm still investigating OneNote migration options. Any thoughts, tips and pointers will be appriciated.Solved32KViews2likes47CommentsMigrating Shared Mailbox to O365 Group?
If we have a shared mailbox, lets say a years worth of history of emails, several folders in it, and we want to "migrate" over to an O365 Group: Does the conversations/inbox of a group have folder capabilities like a Shared Mailbox? Can you drag and drop/copy old emails into the group somehow? Can you drag and drop/copy conversations into your mailbox somehow? I had assumed the Group conversations acted like a shared mailbox, but now that we are testing it out, I dont really see that at all.Solved48KViews2likes14Comments'Sender Restrictions' for Office 365 Groups
In our company, as part of our move from Exchange on-prem to Exchange Online, we are considering replacing our current Exchange Distribution Lists with Dynamic Office 365 Groups. Many of these top-level Exchange Distribution Lists have Sender Restrictions imposed in order to limit who can send an email to the DL membership. For example, only certain users can send an email to a Distribution List that contains several thousand staff. We are unsure as to whether Dynamic Office 365 Groups can provide similar functionality. From what I have read, any members of a Dynamic Office 365 Group have the ability to send an email to the entire group membership. There does not appear to be any way to limit this ability. Is this correct ?25KViews1like5CommentsGroup SP Site (Group image/logo Not Updating)
We have several groups we are working with, all have had a group image applied, but the Group Image doesnt seem to propogate to the connected SharePoint site (just get the colored background with two letters). Should the image populate automatically, or is this the expected behavior and SharePoint Site logos have to be manually set?46KViews1like54CommentsIdentify which user deleted an O365 group?
We recently had a group go AWOL, and though we were able to dig it up thanks to Restore-AzureADMSDeletedDirectoryObject, we are not able to identify how the group was deleted. Is there a way to pull relevant info from the site's settings (like a site collection's audit logs or similar)? I checked the version info for the pages/docs and nothing is listed at all.Solved51KViews1like8CommentsHow to search all groups from within Outlook
Hello, looking to migrate our current Public Folders to 365 Groups. From within Outlook (Classic) our end users can search all Public Folder content (Emails). In Groups it looks like you cannot search all Groups for content, you can only search one Group at time. In the Outlook search options we have tried All Outlook Items, All Mailboxes, etc. but nothing seems to work. Just curious if anyone had any suggestions or recommendations or is this just a limitation? Thank you!Solved475Views0likes3CommentsHow to remove the Welcome Message when a new member joins a group.
We are moving from an on-premise Exchange 2013 environment (using Hybrid) and we have to move our DLs to the cloud. I can create them through powershell as a distribution group, but that does not write back to our local AD (using AADConnect). So using the Unified Group commands, I can create them and they write back. The problem is the welcome message. We are not ready for users to use the extra features of the groups, plus we have users that are a part of several hundred DLs, based on what customers they take care of. I see the attribute WelcomeMessageEnabled, but am unable to change that to $False. I have also tried using mail rules to delete the message based on content in subject or body, but again no go. Does anyone have any way of turning these off? This will create a huge helpdesk and support nightmare if I can not turn these off. Thanks, Jason.Solved171KViews1like36Comments
