Exchange 2019 - Exchange SE - In-Place upgrade
Hello, we’re currently running an Exchange Server 2019 hybrid environment (DAG on-prem + Exchange Online) with a few on-prem user mailboxes used for automated system communications (SMTP) - the mailboxes are not being used in Outlook. We migrated from Exchange 2016 to Exchange 2019, using a trial installation of Exchange 2019, which has expired. We are planning to upgrade to Exchange Server Subscription Edition (SE) and want to ensure the following is supported: - Can we perform an in-place upgrade from the expired Exchange 2019 trial to Exchange Server SE, or do we need to relicense/reactivate Exchange 2019 first? - What is the right / best action plan for us in this case Kindest Regards LeonRe: New Outlook Bug - Hitting backspace when the spellcheck popup opens deletes whole email
Hi jvergeer, the issue is still not resolved, the workaround is to turn of all the Editor (spelling checker) settings in the new Outlook or in the Outlook on the Web. I needed to do this in Outlook on the web because I could not open the Editor settings in the new Outlook. To resolve the problem, the following should be done: Open a new email in the new Outlook, go to the Editor settings, and turn off all the Editor features. Then, restart Outlook. If the Editor settings cannot be accessed in the new Outlook, it should be done in Outlook on the web by adjusting the same settings there.

Hello keithmiller0, the .crdownload extension is typically associated with Chrome and indicates a file that is still in the process of being downloaded. If the file is showing up with this extension when attached to an email, it suggests that the file may not have been fully downloaded. If you start a download in the Google Chrome web browser, Chrome appends the extension "crdownlaod" during the download process. As soon as the download is complete, Google Chrome removes the extension again. If you cancel a download, Chrome automatically deletes these files. However, if the browser or operating system crashes, the file with the extension "crdownload" remains on your computer.

Hello mwhittington, to manage long-term follow-ups with clients in Outlook, the Tasks feature can be highly effective for creating reminders without cluttering your inbox. Here's a streamlined process for doing this: Right-click the email and select Follow Up > Add Reminder. Choose your desired follow-up date and, if necessary, set a reminder time. Drag and drop the email into the Tasks area. This creates a task from the email. Delete the email from your inbox. The task with the reminder will now appear in your To-Do List. This method ensures that you'll have a reminder set for the future, visible in your Tasks and To-Do List without needing to keep the original email in your inbox. Additionally, you can categorize and prioritize these tasks for better workflow management. When you set a reminder on a task, it will pop up as an alert at the specified time, similar to a calendar event reminder. This guarantees that you won’t miss the follow-up, even after deleting the original email.

Hello bantams, I'm sorry to hear about the issues with your Outlook account. It sounds like you've already taken some crucial steps by changing your password, enabling two-factor authentication (2FA), and using the Microsoft Authenticator app. Here are additional measures to enhance your account security: Regularly Monitor Account Activity: Keep an eye on your account's recent activity.

Hi I-Stajcic, the ability for all users to update Microsoft Teams without administrative rights is a feature of the MSIX packaging format used by Teams. MSIX allows applications to update themselves without requiring administrator permissions. This is achieved through an App Installer repository that stores configurations for automatic updates and repairs. When an MSIX application like Teams is installed, it creates an entry in this repository containing update settings. These settings can be configured via the Windows Settings app, an App Installer file, PowerShell, or a Configuration Service Provider. Updates are performed within the same package family, and the new package metadata must match the previously installed one. For more information on the update process of MSIX applications, you can refer to Microsoft's official documentation: App package updates - MSIX | Microsoft Learn Auto-update and repair apps - MSIX | Microsoft Learn Please click Mark as Best Response & Like if my post helped you to solve your issue.

Hi TutuNg, unfortunately, if you have Outlook on the web for Exchange online, this function is unavailable right now. the option to email the daily agenda from the calendar settings is not currently available. If your mailbox is Outlook.com, Outlook on the Web for Exchange Server 2016 or Outlook on the Web for Exchange Server 2019, then you can set up email notifications daily. As a workaround, if you have Outlook on the web for Exchange online you can use Microsoft Power Automate (previously known as Flow) allows you to create automated workflows and can be used to email your daily calendar agenda or Explore third-party Outlook add-ins that offer additional functionalities for managing and emailing calendar events.

Hi Anthony-123, it is possible for a Team to be listed as the organizer for an Outlook event, particularly when the event is created within the context of a Microsoft Teams channel or group. In Microsoft Teams, each team has its own associated Office 365 Group, which includes a shared calendar. When a member of the Team creates an event in the Team's calendar and invites other Team members, the event is stored within the Team's Office 365 Group calendar. When events are created within the context of a Team or Group calendar, the organizer of the event is listed as the Team itself rather than the individual who created the event. This is because the event is associated with the Team's calendar and is considered a Team event. Please click Mark as Best Response & Like if my post helped you to solve your issue.

Hi John_Dodo, here’s an approach you can use to try accomplish your goal with parallel tasks: Setup your computer list and initialize session attempts. Use ForEach-Object to iterate over the array and attempt to establish sessions. Handle successful connections and log failed attempts. Retrieve job results and process accordingly. Here's an example script you can use: $Srv_list = @('Computer1', 'Computer2', 'Computer3') # Replace with your actual list $successfulSessions = @() $failedSessions = @() # Initialize an empty array to store jobs $jobs = @() # go over each computer in the list and try to create a PSSession $Srv_list | ForEach-Object { $computer = $_ try { $session = New-PSSession -ComputerName $computer -ErrorAction Stop $successfulSessions += $session # Create a job to execute a command on the session $job = Invoke-Command -Session $session -ScriptBlock { hostname } -AsJob -JobName "WSUSjob_$computer" # Store the job $jobs += $job } catch { # Log failed connection attempts $failedSessions += $computer Write-Warning "Failed to connect to $computer: $_" } } # Process jobs $jobs | ForEach-Object { $job = $_ $jobResult = $null try { $jobResult = Receive-Job -Job $job -ErrorAction Stop Write-Output "Job $($job.Id) on $($job.Name) completed with result: $jobResult" } catch { Write-Warning "Failed to receive job $($job.Id) on $($job.Name): $_" } finally { # Clean up the job Remove-Job -Job $job } } # Output results Write-Output "Successful Sessions: $($successfulSessions.Count)" Write-Output "Failed Sessions: $($failedSessions.Count)" # Optionally close all successful sessions $successfulSessions | ForEach-Object { Remove-PSSession -Session $_ } Write-Output "All sessions are closed."
