Run rule now is grayed out
My rules in Outlook are grayed out again. The part of manual execution. And this status has been remained for at least 3 days. I encountered this circumstance before like few months ago and here we go again. My account is personal account (Outlook.com). When I use Microsoft Outlook for Mac, Version 16.101 (25091314), to see my rules and wanna execute one of the rules, it's greyed out, a.k.a, cannot be executed. When I open a browser, say Edge, (Version 140.0.3485.66 (Official build) (arm64)), the same status as well. My findings so far: All of rules that will categorize email cannot be executed manually now. Rules that will delete emails can be executed manually. It's manual execution that won't work. Coming emails will still be categorized by the rules automatically. Any clue how to solve this? Or somewhere is wrong internally in the system so far?
Receiving replies from emails processed in Public Folder
Dear community, Im trying to do someting and I hope that i can get the answer here! Me and my colleague are responsible for replying to emails in a shared Outlook folder. I want to be able to read my colleague's replies to some of the emails for training purposes. I want to be notified or have my colleague's replies sent to a specific folder. I am open to different methods of selecting which emails answer's I want to read, such as assigning a category. Essentially, I am seeking a way to monitor and access my colleague's replies to certain emails in the shared Outlook folder for training purposes without having to keep in mind which email's replies I want to read. How can this be done?Fast Microsoft recommended driver block rules update with automatic scheduled task
Microsoft recommended driver block rules in Windows are automatically updated starting with Windows 11 22H2, twice per year, but the list itself is updated more often. Microsoft provides ways to update them faster and out of the schedule. I've created a PowerShell script that does this automatically and you only need to run the script once, then it will create a scheduled task in Windows that runs every 7 days and renews the recommended drivers block list. # create a scheduled task that runs every 7 days if (-NOT (Get-ScheduledTask -TaskName "MSFT Driver Block list update" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue)) { $action = New-ScheduledTaskAction -Execute 'Powershell.exe' ` -Argument '-NoProfile -WindowStyle Hidden -command "& {Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://aka.ms/VulnerableDriverBlockList" -OutFile VulnerableDriverBlockList.zip;Expand-Archive .\VulnerableDriverBlockList.zip -DestinationPath "VulnerableDriverBlockList" -Force;Rename-Item .\VulnerableDriverBlockList\SiPolicy_Enforced.p7b -NewName "SiPolicy.p7b" -Force;Copy-Item .\VulnerableDriverBlockList\SiPolicy.p7b -Destination "C:\Windows\System32\CodeIntegrity";$job = Start-Job -Name "Job1" -ScriptBlock { CiTool.exe -r };Start-Sleep -s 15;Stop-Job $job;Remove-Item .\VulnerableDriverBlockList -Recurse -Force;Remove-Item .\VulnerableDriverBlockList.zip -Force;}"' $TaskPrincipal = New-ScheduledTaskPrincipal -LogonType S4U -UserId $env:USERNAME -RunLevel Highest # trigger $Time = New-ScheduledTaskTrigger ` -Once -At (Get-Date).AddHours(3) ` -RepetitionInterval (New-TimeSpan -Days 7) ` # register the task Register-ScheduledTask -Action $action -Trigger $Time -Principal $TaskPrincipal -TaskPath "MSFT Driver Block list update" -TaskName "MSFT Driver Block list update" -Description "Microsoft Recommended Driver Block List update" # define advanced settings for the task $TaskSettings = New-ScheduledTaskSettingsSet -AllowStartIfOnBatteries -DontStopIfGoingOnBatteries -Compatibility Win8 -StartWhenAvailable -ExecutionTimeLimit (New-TimeSpan -Minutes 3) # add advanced settings we defined to the task Set-ScheduledTask -TaskPath "MSFT Driver Block list update" -TaskName "MSFT Driver Block list update" -Settings $TaskSettings } https://github.com/HotCakeX/Harden-Windows-Security/wiki/Fast-and-Automatic-Microsoft-Recommended-Driver-Block-Rules-updates
SharePoint Rule for Date Field
I have been looking for an answer to this but haven't been able to find any. I'm hoping this group can help. I have a field called "Desired Start Date." I am trying to set up a rule that warns the user when they select a date that is less than 7 days in the future. I've tried using the condition where "Desired Start Date" is less than now()+7 but that displays the message with every date selected. Even those greater than 7 days in the future. Any ideas? All assistance is appreciated.
Categorise mail based on an address in the cc field when sending and receiving mail in Outlook 365
Hi, I'd like to know if this is possible please. I send many emails directly (to) and indirectly (cc) to someone and would like to group them all together for reference in a category. I can't figure out how to apply a rule to a cc field, is this possible? I'd also like to add mail received indirectly (cc) from this person to the same category. If there is another way to achieve this result then please let me know.Embedded Attachment Extraction?
Hello All, I'm trying to setup some email rules and Microsoft Automate to save pdfs. My problem is that the pdf is embedded in an email attachment, inside another email attachment setup like this: Email --> email --> pdf My supplier sends these from their system so there's no way to have them change. Does anyone have any idea of how to extract the pdf automatically? The rules and Automate run off the first email attachment, not 2nd embedded attachment (pdf). Therefore it doesn't work. Thanks, See picture.
