SharePoint Document Library Web Part
Hi All We have a SharePoint Document Library web part on a landing web page that look like this : It is very simple looking and links to a SharePoint document library on the same SharePoint site as the web part. The issue we are having is we need to view another SharePoint Document library on another SharePoint site. The Only way to do this is using the Embed SharePoint web part. The problem with the Embed web part is it adds the Document Library menu bar. We want to make it look simple like the first web part above. My question is can we add a web part that links to a document library on another SharePoint site and has a simple look and feel with no menu bar like the first screenshot above? I hope you can help ColinSharePoint link pauses /_layouts/closeConnection.aspx?loginasanotheruser=false&Source=
Hi, Within our company, we have multiple SharePoint sites over different Office 365 environments. What we are trying to do is when a user clicks on a SharePoint link the user is first logged out of any other SharePoint sites on the different environment and then the credentials are asked for the new SharePoint environment. This works perfectly: When you add https://b3living.sharepoint.com/sites/CeMeslaTest/_layouts/closeConnection.aspx?loginasanotheruser=false&Source=https://b3Living.sharepoint.com/sites/CeMeslaTest/ to the end of the SharePoint URL Added properties https://b3living.sharepoint.com/sites/CeMeslaTest/_layouts/closeConnection.aspx?loginasanotheruser=false&Source=https://b3Living.sharepoint.com/sites/CeMeslaTest/?loginasanotheruser=false &Source=https://company.sharepoint.com/sites/SiteName/ The full URL looks like this: When a user is logged into another SharePoint or Office 365 environment, the user is automatically logged out of that environment and automatically asked for the credentials to log into the new SharePoint site (source URL https://b3living.sharepoint.com/sites/CeMeslaTest/_layouts/closeConnection.aspx?loginasanotheruser=false&Source=https://b3Living.sharepoint.com/sites/CeMeslaTest/) The problem arises when the user is not logged into any other SharePoint or office 365 environment. When the user clicks the link above it says “You’ve signed out of your account” but doesn’t request the credentials for the new SharePoint environment. It just pauses at “You’ve signed out of your account”. I have tried changing the properties from ?loginasanotheruser=false and ?loginasanotheruser=true but it still pauses. Is there any way I can get the procedure to not pause, but redirect the user to the source SP site https://b3living.sharepoint.com/sites/CeMeslaTest/_layouts/closeConnection.aspx?loginasanotheruser=false&Source=https://b3Living.sharepoint.com/sites/CeMeslaTest/ ? Are there other properties I can add to the SharePoint link that doesn’t make it pause? Added properties https://b3living.sharepoint.com/sites/CeMeslaTest/_layouts/closeConnection.aspx?loginasanotheruser=false&Source=https://b3Living.sharepoint.com/sites/CeMeslaTest/?loginasanotheruser=false &Source=https://company.sharepoint.com/sites/SiteName/ I hope you can help Colinadd a user search box to a SharePoint online webpage
Hi All, Is there a way I can add a user search box to a modern SharePoint online webpage so a user can search for another user within the company? For example, I want the details of a user with the surname Smith. The search results list all the members of staff with the surname Smith and I just select the correct user. I hope you can help Thanks CourtneyOffice 365 Username with App password not working in PowerShell script
Hi All, I need to use an App password in a PowerShell script that will be running constantly. The script needs to monitor an item on a server so needs to be running 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It works OK if I use an Office 365 user account that has MFA disabled and I use its username and password, but it stops working if MFA is enabled and I use an App Password. This is the procedure I use in using an App password: 1) MFA is enabled on the Office 365 user account. 2) Create an App Password for the user account. 3) Run the credentials script to create the username and password encrypted text files: ################################################################# $Location = ".\" $securecred = Get-Credential $securecred.UserName | ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force | ConvertFrom-SecureString | set-content $Location"Username.txt" $securecred.Password | ConvertFrom-SecureString | set-content $Location"Password.txt" ################################################################# 4) Run the main script that uses the credentials txt files: ################################################################# # additional variable and setup code above... $username = Get-Content $PassLocation"Username.txt" | ConvertTo-SecureString $BSTRU = [System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal]::SecureStringToBSTR($username) $username = [System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal]::PtrToStringAuto($BSTRU) $AdminUserName = $username $SecurePassword = Get-Content $PassLocation"Password.txt" | ConvertTo-SecureString $Cred = new-object -typename System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -argumentlist $AdminUserName, $SecurePassword $AdminSiteURL = "https://mySubscription.sharepoint.com/sites/Demo/" Connect-PnPOnline -Url $AdminSiteURL -Credentials $Cred # additional variable and setup code below... ################################################################# 5) Error messages when using username with App password credentials: --------------------------------- 50126: Error validating credentials due to invalid username or password.

Trace ID: 589e2968cc3c...f5d1c4700 --------------------------------- I know the main script is OK because it works perfectly when I disable MFA and create the credential text files using the user account username and password. Is using a username and App Password the best and secure way to run a PowerShell script that needs to run constantly? I hope you can help ColinIs it possible to turn a PowerShell script into a Windows Service?
Hi All, Is there anyway I can turn a PowerShell script into a Windows Service that will start whenever a computer starts. First we need to turn the *.PS1 script into an *.exe app. It would be ideal if this can be done with windows products and not third party apps. I hope you can help ColinRe: "Shared with Us" link in Modern SharePoint Menu (behavior)?

Hi All, I’ve been asked to setup an ADSF server to give multifactor authentication for a client company. I know how to setup multi-factor authentication for Office 365 environment, but have never setup ADFS and multifactor authentication. Can you please answer some questions to point me in the right direction: Is there a video or a webpage that has step-by-step, beginners guide on setting up ADFS and Multifactor Authentication? Is ADFS being phased out and being replaced by the Azure AD Connect application? What are the benefits of using Azure AD with ADFS to setup multifactor-authentication? If I persuade the company to purchase Azure AD to use in conjunction with ADFS to setup multifactor authentication, is there a video or a webpage that has a step-by-step, beginners guide on setting up Azure AD, ADFS and Multifactor Authentication? I hope you can help and any advice will be greatly appreciated. ThanksHow do I stop my full name appearing in my post. I prefer my initial followed by my surname.
Hi Is there a way I can edit my profile name so when I create a new post and ask a question my full name does not appear on the post. I do not want my full name appearing in the post I prefer an initial for my first name followed by my surname. Thanks
