What are /r/Office365's favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Office comes as a subscription or as a volume licence. If you can't afford the subscription Uninstall it and install https://www.libreoffice.org/ or openoffoce

And Thunderbird for email.

All the functions non of the cost

If your Office 365 subscription includes Microsoft Flow, you could try creating a scheduled flow to do this.

• Create a new Flow with a "Schedule" trigger.

• Show advanced options for the trigger.

• Type Monthly as the Frequency; 1 for the Interval; select your desired time zone; type the start date for the recurrence. For example, 2017-07-26T00:00:00Z would start at midnight UTC on the 26th day of every month.

• For the Action, select "Office 365 / Send an email". Show advanced options if needed, and fill in whatever fields you need to populate.

• Give your flow a name if you didn't already do that, and save it.

On the saved flow page, you can click the "... More" button and choose to run the flow now rather than waiting until the next scheduled interval, if you want to test its functionality.

I am a huge fan of Tony Redmond's "Office 365 for IT Pro's" for $49.95 available online here: https://gumroad.com/l/O365IT/ - if anything in this space qualifies as a bible, then this would be it, IMO.

​

It's available as an e-book (PDF and EPUB formats) it is constantly updated and kept current.

Do you have access to Flow/power automate in 365, if so perhaps you can tweak something like this:

https://flow.microsoft.com/en-us/galleries/public/templates/289f7f75e2ff4a3183cfd08064bdece6/save-email-attachments-to-the-file-system/

(There's a save to OneDrive too)

First off. Please upgrade those Windows 7 devices. Major security risk. The same for using older Office software. That is your issue. The disparity in versions.

You can license for iOS and it will work just fine.

There are free Office suite alternatives. https://www.libreoffice.org/

It comes down to your use case and what features and integration and collaboration is required.

I suggest reading through the subscription plans and going from there. You could try the online only versions and see if that works for you.

Hope that helps 😊

Do a reverse dns lookup to your ip. (https://mxtoolbox.com/ReverseLookup.aspx)

If it's not properly set that might be the issue.

(http://wiki.junkemailfilter.com/index.php/Fixing_Reverse_DNS)

Make sure spf and dkim are well configured in your dns server.

It might be worth mentioning to your organizations that while its okay to pay AV vendors for 3rd party security, the free AV, Microsoft Defender, that comes with the Windows 10 OS actually outperforms just about every 3rd party AV. You may find that you are spending a stack of effort installing and maintaining Avast when you are just turning off a better AV that doesn't tend to have additional integration problems like every 3rd party AV does.

https://www.av-test.org/en/antivirus/home-windows/

You might find a lot of websites that poo-poo Windows Defender, but keep in mind who sponsors those websites. Computer security is all about fear, uncertainty and doubt, and businesses like Norton/Symantec have traditionally been the biggest proponent of FUD - they aren't here to help you, they are just there to pry money from you in exchange for ineffective security products.

The migration between platforms goes far beyond just hey dump this stuff over there.

Get the structure of Teams/Sharepoint decided first, understand the pros/cons of how the platform works and then build out your migration file for mover.io

Many of our migrations take the form of a Teams Site with the top level "Documents Folder" aka Doc Library being the channel based Doc storage and then add Doc Libraries for the primary Sub folders from a Departmental File share/shared drives. Always best to structure source first but it can be done using a CSV file too.

I also like using BitTitan migration wiz. Once you have both ends setup its a really good tool and done many successful migrations without having shit ton of MS errors and quirks to deal with.

Personally, with only 4 users and the amount of effort required to setup the Microsoft migration tools (i couldn't get it to work about 10 months ago), I would:

Add the domain to O365 and create the new accounts in O365. assign licences.

Use mover.io for the Google Drive files.

For the old email, Install the Google Outlook add-on for Outlook. Add the four accounts to Outlook making sure I'm using the Outlook addin to add the Google accounts to outlook. AFter downloading everything, export each account to PST.

Change the MX record to point to O365 so all new email goes to O365.

Then import the four PSTs into the new O365 accounts. I would find this easier, but I know others might think I'm a bit crazy to use this method.

But Bittitan.com can do everything for not a lot of money and much more automated.

These are the only experiences I have to share, i haven't tried other tools.

Pretty sure you won't be able to add more data to your expired onedrive and that's about it.

You can migrate your existing onedrive data to your new one using https://mover.io - I used it when Microsoft screwed the storage limits on free accounts.

Currently, PowerApps can only be shared within an organization and PowerApp apps aren't published to any public app stores. Instead, users must first install the PowerApp app, sign in with their Office 365 credentials, and then load their custom apps from there. When they install PowerApps app on their device, they'll need to sign in with their Office 365 credentials. They could then share the app with individuals inside the organization or share the app with the entire organization.

You can disable PowerApps by removing the user license, though users can individually sign up for a trial of PowerApps. If you have DLP policies in place, though, you can prevent them from accessing company data. https://powerapps.microsoft.com/en-us/tutorials/signup-question-and-answer/#administration-of-powerapps

What you heard about books has no relevance to if the test is worth taking.

If getting the cert is important to you, then yes it's important to take the test. Only you can answer that question depending on your skills, current job, and career goals.

If you're not confident that printed book material is current with the ever changing Office 365 landscape (as I was, especially when I saw the low ratings for the official study guide on Amazon), then I recommend online study guides which are easier to keep current.

Are you trying to hide OneDrive (consumer) and/or OneDrive for Business (OneDrive - Company) plus Sharepoint Site? I assume you're talking about the option in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc...

You can try to create a registry entry for Office 2016 Under this key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common\SignIn

Create a DWORD "SignInOptions"

  Set to the value to the following:

  0 - Show All

  1 - Hide Company (ODFB and Site)

  2 - Hide OneDrive (Consumer)

  3 - Hide Both

To deploy, you can set it up in Group Policy or a script after you test it.

>I vaguely remember a feature of Android that offered an isolated version of the operating system that could be used for work/third party management - am I right?

Yes, Android Enterprise has a work profile which does precisely this. The devices will need to be enrolled, but the MDM will only have access to the data and applications within the ‘work profile’. The MDM (and by extension the organization) will have complete control over any data in the work profile and in the event of a remote wipe, only the contents of the work profile will get deleted. All personal content outside of the work container would be untouched.

In the case of iOS, you can use containerization to secure your corporate data and keep it separate from the personal data. This prevents corporate data from being accessed by applications outside the containerization profile, thus protecting the data. However, a remote wipe in the case of an iOS would unfortunately wipe the entire device.

Microsoft should inform you of issues, this disabling of the user's account is probably their initial action against you.

You might already be on some individual company's block lists because of this action, but there is no way to really be sure.

You can use tools like mxtoolbox.com to check for blacklists, but usually those just blacklist an IP, and not a domain. More and more, those are blacklisting domains though, so you might need to dig further.

https://mxtoolbox.com/blacklists.aspx

You would have to request a delisting from each spam list. Just remember that there is a human team behind the delisting. The thing they don’t list on their websites is that they don’t actually have to delist you. It’s ultimately up to the human behind the delisting request.

You can check out the Spamhaus website for the typical process of delisting. It can take a few days at times to delisted and basically all your email is rejected during that time.

Just closing the loop on this for others' benefit.

With the help of u/Gumbyohson I was able to confirm that it wasn't a config issue at our end and then I started to have a look at whether there was a common thread to which receiving mail domains were having a problem.

Using mxtoolbox.com I could see that all of the mail domains that we were having problems with (even though the actual companies were in no way related) seemed to point to The Endurance International Group, Inc. as the host of the MX server. I contacted Endurance and they just confirmed that they are having a widespread problem and "Our engineers are aware of the matter, and are actively working towards a resolution. We regrettably do not have an ETA for this at this time, but are working to resolve the issue as soon as possible."

Per their own info: "Endurance International Group Inc. is the parent company to hundreds of subsidiary companies such as Bluehost, HostGator, iPage, Homestead and many more." which means this could be quite widespread since many small businesses use these services.

I would look at mover.io which has been bought out by microsoft and can be used for free. Its a very powerfull tool. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepointmigration/mover-setup-m365-destination

That was it, Golden my friend!

I've never heard of OneDrive needing to be provisioned before. You would think it would just be setup with the account. That Microsoft document was perfect and now Mover.io is working finally.

Its my understanding that those permissions don't transfer over. The person that owns the files will have to reshare them. I won't know for sure until Monday when my people all log in. This link says that it's possible but I'm not sure

Have not used fasttrack. I am using mover.io to do my migration from dropbox to onedrive, for about 600 users. This is a new company MS acquired recently and is a free service (a spectacular one i might add) that is included with E3 and above I believe?

You can ‘cheat’ by using the Power Apps community plan/environment for production use. It allows for custom connectors, but they can technically only be triggered by you and only for development purposes.

However, you could also ‘develop’ an Flow that listens for new SharePoint List items as trigger for your flow if you want to automize.

You could try using the "Book a Room" PowerApps template. You can always modify it to meet your exact needs. https://powerapps.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/office-template-book-a-room-now-available/

Are you a member of https://www.yammer.com/askipteam/? This kind of question gets answered there, but they request that what gets answered in the forum, stays in the forum. I highly recommend you join and sign up for the daily digest e-mail. You don't have to use Yammer to do so.

We use it and I don't find it incredibly valuable but I'm also not so hot on social media either.

I will say, however, that the Office 365 Network on Yammer is a great asset and has excellent participation from a number of Microsoft people. If you have a question about Office 365, that's the best place to get answers these days.

You can use their API or you can do SMTP auth with your app.

Your data stays in your world until you send the email to their system.

OneNote 2016 is included with the Office 2016 software suite. The Office 365 Click-to-Run installer doesn't allow you to select which Office 2016 applications are installed, nor allow you to selectively remove some applications afterwards.
There is also a OneNote application preloaded with Windows 10.
If you're at all curious about OneNote, here's a quick start guide for OneNote 2016. :-)

Ah yes, this is a common problem, but really end user training to ensure they use sharepoint online for team/project files instead of personal OneDrive for business was the way to control it, unless you put every user's files on a hold. The more elegant solution in my opinion is to introduce your users to the new Office 365 groups. They are self service, can be controlled via powershell, and are a great way to quickly set up that collaborative workspace with a shared group OneDrive, calendar, OneNote and mailbox. They can access the files through browser or native iOS/android apps. One user leaving won't impact the group. More info here: https://sway.com/G_yV0w-GadIB1aA2

It defaults to a cloud location like OneDrive or Dropbox, you can save it in an offline word file just like the application would do, but I don't believe you can use the application offline.

I'd also recommend looking at Google Drive Docs, it's another online word processor, and if you use Chrome you can actually use the application offline and it will sync the file to your cloud drive when you're back online. This is a completely free service as well. It also can save a word file offline (some complex formatting might be an issue).

https://office.live.com/start/Word.aspx

https://www.google.com/docs/about/

Another alternative is an open source alternative like LibreOffice. It installs locally, would definitely give you all the features you need, and you can save in native word file format as well.

So looking into this, I found this page (link below) from Microsoft related to Flow, and Power Automate Free.

Send an Office 365 Outlook email from a shared mailbox on a recurring basis

https://flow.microsoft.com/en-us/galleries/public/templates/8d41e1145df94f6596a7a7c21edbeec2/send-an-office-365-outlook-email-from-a-shared-mailbox-on-a-recurring-basis/

When accessing the link, I needed to sign in/up for Microsoft Power Automate Free

Received an error. Sorry... We can't finish signing you up.

Your IT department has turned off signup for Microsoft Power Automate Free. Contact them to complete signup.

Gave myself the "Microsoft Power Automate Free" license -- It's at the root level of licenses, vs digging under A5 (or what you have) and the subcomponents. -- Office.com > Admin account > Admin "application" > search for user > Licenses

Then the error changed to:

No need to sign up You already have a license for Microsoft Power Automate Free.

Proceeding further I see an entry for my personal account (which is what I used to sign in with and applied the license). I think I would need to link the shared account with mine and possibly apply the license to it. I don't want to fire off daily emails or modify our shared accounts right now.

The fields make sense for sending an email such as the Interval and Frequency as well as Name, CC, Subject, Body, Attachments.

I don't know enough about Reddit on whether I can post screenshots, but this should get you farther. I look forward to hearing what becomes of it. Time permitting (which I have none of), I'll make a group account next week and test this out.

You could try Microsoft Flow and planner - Flow could have the checklist and assign each subtask as a planner object. I am not certain how well it would work, I can try tonight and create a rough template. They just added a connector for it a few months ago, https://flow.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/planner-community-and-licenses/

I think that the QR code is actually supposed to point you to Google Play for the app (see). You can just search Company Portal in Google Play, or it is this app you want:

Intune Company Portal - Apps on Google Play

And then you enter your credentials into the app (note the app is actually called Company Portal, and it's from Microsoft, and basically what it does is allows Intune to check your device to see if it meets the corporate spec, and then register it - optionally it can also do other things like provide you a place to install company apps, I think, although that's not a feature I implemented in my MDM).

Our IT admin guy is now leaving the company... It was resolved after lots of effort and now I have an entirely new Windows account. One of the problems even after the install was that NordVPN was interfering with the connection to Microsoft. Just as a reference in case anyone else encounters this issue. It looks resolved now. Thanks.

Outlook has an Exchange connection.

TorGuard is a VPN, running on my machine. Everything with Outlook worked fine with my previous VPN (Private Internet Access), not sure what the issue is with TG.

Oh, I see what you are trying to do now. The mailbox will not contain the information you want as you have found. Are you familiar with custom attributes for objects? We have a hybrid environment so we set these custom attributes there and they get pushes up to O365 but if you are online only you can set the attributes manually using Powershell

You can then map the attributes you want to see on the mailbox from AD.

Conditional access is part of the solution, but it's not the whole solution.

In my opinion, Conditional Access is really only worth it to block some of the usual suspect IPs from logging in at all (North Korea, Russia, China, India etc) but it only stops the lazy attackers, i've tested myself that loading up NordVPN, picking a country allowed by geoblockimg and signing in again is successful.

The first step is MFA, everything else at this point really is secondary to that rollout to further harden your environment using CA, blocking risky sign in's etc, but yes to your point CA without MFA is really just smoke and mirrors because it's incredibly easy to by-pass.

Just get LibreOffice. Fighting the madness that is windows/office trails and licenses is not fun.

Use libreoffice and save as a word document it may have some formatting quirks but most are sorted out now.

https://www.libreoffice.org/

There’s a separate to-do app that will show any assigned tasks based on the logged in user. Users can also create their own personal todos, and any flagged emails in outlook will create a todo as well. https://todo.microsoft.com/tasks/

Went and looked at how to add survey monkey - maybe these steps can help? https://www.surveymonkey.com/mp/microsoft-integrations/ and https://zapier.com/apps/microsoft-outlook/integrations/zoho-projects Just grasping at straws

But where does it say how to check this, I am using IONOS as a primary source from where I am trying to move the emails from, I just added the emails as they appear for the username as that is how we log in to their system. Their FAQ page that describes the Email Migration only covers the system I was searching for, I also checked the Exchange if the UserMailbox exist and they are indeed there all 3 of them.

https://www.ionos.com/help/office/setting-up-microsoft-365/migrating-emails-from-11-ionos-mail-accounts-to-office-365/

That is the only thing they have on how to migrate to office365, I have no problem adding them as an endpoint and I don't know how to check if the username is correct beyond this, the documentation doesn't say clearly.

Thanks!

I also doubt that there is something like that for small businesses especially. However, I always tend to go to some review webs (Capterra, Expert Insights, Software Suggest, GetApp, Trustradius, well, you got me) and check what's out there.

Look, for instance, here you have the Help Desk solutions that integrate with Microsoft 365, including Microsoft Teams

https://www.getapp.com/customer-service-support-software/help-desk-ticketing/?integrated_with_slug%5B%5D=microsoft-office-365&integrated_with_slug%5B%5D=microsoft-teams&sort=relevance

Maybe you can find something useful here.

You can see here

https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/abizerh/2013/04/11/more-information-about-sso-experience-when-authenticating-via-adfs/

Using integrated windows auth over the net is not possible and if you try to do some sort of jackboot work around you can severly expose yourself.

You can still login externally, just cant do SSO.

If you are counting VPN or Direct Access then thats a grey area as you are external but your in a secure tunnel back to on prem and accessing from there.

Here is more on Windows Auth over the internet.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12741040/iis-7-secure-windows-authentication-over-the-internet

In short using http to send creds in plain text is bad

At least this is my understanding of it.

You may also need to check the reputation of the sender IP address or domain in MXtoolbox as suggested before https://mxtoolbox.com/blacklists.aspx

Or test the content of the affected message (including urls, signature ...etc) by sending it from a different an external account (gmail, outlook.com...) to the same or different internal user, see if you can repro.

If none of the above applies and it looks more like a false positive due to filters then make a submission via admin portal: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/security/office-365-security/admin-submission?view=o365-worldwide

The issue might get solved in the next 72 hours.

What happened to me was that my docx template was corrupted. I lost all column formatting and could not restore it. I spent hours googling for a solution and wrote into this sub and to r/techsupport. No joy.

I think what happened was I pasted too many high res photos at once and it melted down. Not only was the current docx corrupted, so was every other docx in the format which was basically my life's work. Fortunately, I have most saved as pdfs as well and they were fine.

I am glad you did not lose your work!!!! I still encourage the installation of Everything as it is a 1000 times more useful than the search built into Windows.

I prepared from <strong>MS-500 dumps</strong> and worked according to the directions of the experts at the platform of Exam4Help.

Sample Question:

You need to recommend a solution for the user administrators that meets the security requirements for auditing. Which blade should you recommend using from the Azure Active Directory admin center?

A. Sign-ins

B. Azure AD Identity Protection

C. Authentication methods

D. Access review

&#x200B;

Answer: A

Thanks.

I checked the app permissions and settings, but there is nothing to configure as its pretty standard.

As for licenses, my account (the Global Admin) has O365 and Power Automate which should do the trick, I do not see a specific license for MS Forms, but given that I can create new forms on the forms.office.com website, I think that I have sufficient privileges.

I don't have a subscription for Flow, but it is my understanding that this is only necessary when one wishes to automated workflows across multiple office apps (eg. automatically create an approval request if condition xyz is met).

What stumps me here is that the approval feature works just fine for me when running it via its own app from the left-most sidebar, but I am just unable to add this feature to the tab bar of the General Channel. It works, so there should not be an issue with permissions or licenses, but rather its just that I cannot add to the tab bar.

MS-900 dumps material has won my trust after helping me in my IT exam preparation. When I downloaded it from Dumps4download they guaranteed me for success at the first attempt. and they provide 100% money back guarantee in case of failure in exam. Not limited to this but they also provided me free demo version of the material and gave me online practice test. MS-900 Dumps PDF guide me very well.

That kind of depends how you got your counterfit copy in the first place.. If you grabbed it from some random torrent site you may also have malware on your PC.

Will MS doing anything about it? Probably not....

You can already use the web versions of office for free https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/microsoft-365/free-office-online-for-the-web

https://www.libreoffice.org/ is also a free opensource alternative.

Your PDF app might not be recognizing the font and it instead creates the pdf text as an image.

We have an Intune / O365 / Azure IaaS & Security specialist that architects most of our solutions. As a Microsoft Gold partner, we also have access to the product teams to provide deployment feedback as needed.

I agree that this isn't one of our Step-by-Step guides, but more of a technology awareness post. And I agree with all of your points about deploying this in a SME. To your point though, a lot of SMBs have fairly vanilla Office deployments and this is a relatively painless setup. I just deployed all of this at a 250 seat non-profit last week and no one noticed.

As for getting MSIs, we use Chocolatey for package management and run our own nuget farm. It's pretty simple to get and push updated packages this way.

Prior to Outlook 2010, the autocomplete was stored in .NK2 files or the stream... .dat files.

In Exchange 2013, the autocomplete is stored in the users' mailbox.

According to the discussion at the URL below, the change took place with the advent of Outlook 2010, but my memory says Outlook 2010 was when the change from .nk2 to .dat files occurred.

http://serverfault.com/questions/604623/where-does-microsoft-owa-2013-autocomplete-cache-get-stored

I saw this too, as well as the notice on their Education Plan page that they enabled compliance with FERPA and HIPAA.

Having said that, 'enabling compliance' seems to put the onus on the customer, not the vendor.

Traditionally you would look at roaming profiles - but Office 365 Pro Plus does not yet support them properly (and that requires domain membership as well). the path /u/roberts2727 pointed is out is probably the path of least resistance.

If you want the think clients - I would consider a VDI or RDS type solution. Remote App from Microsoft is pretty easy to get going with - but it starts out with a 20 user minimum. You can see more about installing office on Remote App here: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/remoteapp-o365/

Is the web version of Excel ok? If so, all you need is an E1- that will give you the Office Suite via a browser (which is surprisingly good), Outlook and mailbox- but no archive mailboxes, SharePoint, and Teams-no discovery tools, etc.

Don't forget- there is Open Office, the open-source version of Office. It's certainly not the same- but it's really close in all things that 80% of the users care about.
https://www.openoffice.org/product/index.html

Also, I will say this about the E3- Microsoft announced I think yesterday that they will be including their Defender security suite with Microsoft Licenses. I have no idea what all the details around that is and when it's going to happen- BUT if it comes with an E3 license, you might justify the additional cost by removing the cost of your current AntiVirus Suite. Just a thought- I always try to justify purchasing something by removing something- it may not be completely offset but if it's somewhat offset my company usually says let's go for it.

Up to 30 days with option to save the documents, after that period it will switch to read only mode. You can download and use https://www.libreoffice.org/ without any payment or licensing. Also You can open free accunt at Outlook.com and uses free online version of Microsoft Office, some advance futers are disables there but for most work is enough.

> I am running Outlook 2003 (Build 12624_20086)

You are running software that is 17 years old at this point. Not only does it have a plethora of security issues at this point, it functionally sucks too.

Do yourself a favor and either purchase O365 Personal https://products.office.com/en-us/buy/office or use (free, open source) libre office https://www.libreoffice.org/

I use Nine which lets you set certain contacts as VIP which will generate a separate alert. You can disable regular alerts and only alert on VIP emails. Or just set a different tone. It's very flexible although it is not free. It's not expensive but it does cost money.

Are you using OneDrive syncing for these files?

If so, you might need to login to the ondrive website, go to settings, and "choose folders" i think you can un-sync folders through that menu option.

For the amount of time this has cost, it would be cheaper just to buy another cheap domain. I have only ever used .com and .org etc, but just doing a quick search on godaddy.com and there are plenty of cheap domains available.

.xyz is available for $1.30.

.shop is available for $3.91

.info is only $4

Interestingly, .ldt domain is not even available at godaddy.com. Personally I think it is not worth the time and hassle and would just but a .info or .com for around $10.

All the ones I have received have been Microsoft Forms.

Must have seemed like a good idea before it fucking ruined everything. Kind of like ActiveX, or as otherwise known, the birth of malware on the Internet.

If it starts with https://forms.office.com, then they can't do any of that.

&#x200B;

Tab focus can be detected with additional Javascript, but again, they'd have to have that form embedded elsewhere to do that.

The link above accidentally included a "]" at the end.. just remove it the Link works or Click Here.

You can create different teams, enable guest access, or leverage the new skype to teams options MSFT has spoke to.

Also, microsoft forms is a thing that may help. https://forms.office.com it may or may not be included in your subscription.

Hey OP!

You can lockdown the device to outlook app after which the user cannot access anything else on the device. This will also prevent the user from adding their e-mail account through Gmail and other mail apps. We have been using Hexnode MDM and they have single or multi app kiosk modes. This means you can lockdown your device to either a single app/website or to multiple ones. Also, the admin can regulate access to other device functions.
I think locking the device in kiosk mode is a good alternative to ActiveSync as it is a straightforward approach where you’ll be whitelisting the required app on the device. Intune also has lockdown features but I found Hexnode to be easier to use. 

A Shared Mailbox is a good idea and you'll want to decide if the users should send as that single account or individually and CC the group each time. If they send as the single account, make sure they are required to sign their name at the bottom of emails for tracking purposes.

Honestly though I recommend getting an instance of OsTicket or similar setup. Hosting it internally costs practically no resources (I run it off a spare old desktop in a network closet), it's free, and it's insanely simple to setup. It will take care of the whole email thing since you will have a full ticketing system.

I've never used it, but check out phone queues with Skype for Business. I would also recommend looking into migrating to Teams for all this instead of Skype since you'll have to eventually anyway and Teams can already do so much more.

Maybe some support files of the previous version are left on your Mac. Are you sure that you have uninstalled Office 2019 completely? Check your Mac for Office remaining files with App Cleaner &amp; Uninstaller. Remove all of the support files related to Office and then try to reinstall it again.

Still not enough info to give a definitive answer, but try disabling Windows Search Indexer and see if that solves the issue.

We're a non profit as well and are using O365 E3 Non Profit Edition. Once you get the hang of groups it really is a nice ecosystem to manage your projects within. You have planner for your project plan/task management which is connected to your group mailbox for messaging/conversations, your sharepoint group site for document sharing and much much more. One of the other posters recommended the hub site which I agree with. We created a "Project Hub" where all new project site types get created and auto-associated. Makes it easier to find. You just have to add the Sites webpart to the main page and play around with the settings to get it to appear the way you want.

I used Vlad Catrinescu's video on Pluralsight.com.

The cert is very broad. I use MS365 daily however I had never utilised a decent amount of the content covered by the course. Though that may be more due to my role...

Great info here: https://dmarcly.com/blog/ Great validation tools here: https://mxtoolbox.com/DMARC.aspx

Understand it but don’t over think it, everything is reversible. Also don’t do it on a Friday ;)

https://mxtoolbox.com/ shows my domain is green everywhere. How do I open a ticket with Microsoft, if I'm not a customer? I'm going to call the main Microsoft support number, 1 (800) 642-7676, and see what they say.

I'm guessing it is a content flag, but it is weird that it marks it as spam in the middle of an email thread.

Is it happening with all the people you email who have Office 365, or just some? If you run a blocklist check for your domain on mxtoolbox.com does it show you on any blocklists?

If you have the message headers then run them through https://mxtoolbox.com/EmailHeaders.aspx and it will tell you which server is holding onto the message. You then will know for sure where to look.

First, make sure your ip is not on a blacklist: https://mxtoolbox.com/blacklists.aspx

Second, you can't have two spf records. This will help you format it correctly:
https://mxtoolbox.com/SPFRecordGenerator.aspx

~all instead of -all may yield better results for you as well (which I bet mxtoolbox will spit out as well)

How is the web server set up to send mail?

If it's basically routing through an SMTP relay, messages could be going to quarantine due to SPF/DKIM settings

&#x200B;

Edit to add: get the header of one of the quarantined messages and drop it in https://mxtoolbox.com/Public/Tools/EmailHeaders.aspx

Ah! Well, then you should just be able to show them the basics of SPF, DKIM, DMARC? Show them that what they're trying to do is tantamount to cyber identity theft and that the owners of that domain aren't going to allow them to just impersonate their brand? Really, even if you managed to work around the O365 limitations, there are outside forces that would negate that work.

You could check https://mxtoolbox.com/ for the SPF, DKIM, & DMARC of the domain they're trying to use and have documented proof as to why it wouldn't work even if you can use an external SMTP to send the email.

Msoft will always advise you to contact the third party, since they can't troubleshoot on other companies' tools. My advise is: before contacting the third party, just troubleshoot as much as you can from Msoft's end and then contact Fresh Service informing them of the issues you're having. If you add the IP ranges to SPF, and unlock them on the Sender page, you shouldn't have any trouble from here on. Also: check Blacklist DB's for that IP as it might be listed somewhere. These are the sites I usually use: https://mxtoolbox.com/blacklists.aspx https://www.dnsbl.info/ (this one is actually pretty good and thorough).

Run a blacklist check to make sure the IP that you are now using is clean. O365 will block IP's listed on public black/spam lists. I use this and this to check. To get really detailed logs, you could setup a local smtp relay. Have your copier send the email to the relay, then to O365. The relay logs will directly show you any errors, drops, or bounces.

I've had this happen to my network. Our IP got blacklisted and my local email relay would get dropped by O365. O365 logs didn't show anything for mail flow or traces since the threat protection dropped it before it hit Exchange online. I found the answer in my relay logs where it showed that our IP was listed on a blacklist.

This could be the issue. Review your domain registrar and your domain host and make sure all the DNS records match. This error indicates that there is a mismatch somewhere (the simplified answer). Here is their own article on the error. You might still have records that have either not updated automatically in your provider (contact support to see if you cannot determine):

https://mxtoolbox.com/problem/dns/dns-local-parent-mismatch

In short there might still be records referring to your old email provider vs the new.

Not 100% sure that this will fit the bill, but KeePassium works with both OneDrive consumer and Business as per this.

I have not used it with OneDrive for Business, but for consumer account, you need to have sync established first via the OneDrive app and then no problems. In other words - the app does not make it's own connection to OneDrive; it hinges on the connection that OneDrive app creates (hence I'm not sure if this will do what you need).

I use the Facebook Container extension because it also blocks Facebook tracking. You can put any tab or number of tabs into any container. So you could have a Personal container with your gmail logged in. And have another for Work with your work google account. All sessions and cookies and logins persist in containers. You can create your own containers as well, like one named for each tenant.

I use it to manage separate office tenants without having to continually log out and back in.

There’s other extensions but this one has always worked perfect.

Our file access client, WebDrive, would be a perfect solution. You can mount folders to drive letters to give everyone simple access to what they need. You can also preconfigure your custom settings and push them out to your users to reduce installation and setup time- and reduce the potential for user error.

Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions!

I remember reading about https://www.bluejeans.com/ supporting integration of any other Video conferencing under the sun. Besides early adverts were really funny but removed from the YouTube since then.

You couldn't a few months ago. Teams was VERY limited. It was hilarious running into the limitations while on a call with Microsoft support (at the corporate level) - I guess they committed to Teams internally. We ended up using our own Join.Me for the call.

Spinbackp has a good Office 365 backup. The main idea is it's a cloud-to-cloud backup, which means that you can customize the data location. Besides, the support is quite nice.

I have done this. I used mover.io with no issues.

I believe the account I was using could see or was owner of all the source Dropbox folders, then you just use mover to add source and dest and kick it off. Post move, you can get reports (excel format) on what was migration, any errors etc (I had no errors). Don't forget to remove user access from the source post move.

For our specific use case just looking at ways to free up E3/E5 licenses. We do have Custom Scripting turned off at the tenant level for Personal Sites -- so Powershell was not a successful test. This is more of research phase -- but I haven't found any concrete documentation that says Mover.IO can not be used for internal migrations. I also have not been able to successfully get it to work with internal migrations (I have with migrations from Tenant A to Tenant B)

For e-mail: MigrationWiz. Relatively cheap, lots of auditing, very good support from the vendor (BitTitan). I've migrated tons of mailboxes in my carreer and I don't think I would ever go use another product, unless Microsoft steps up and makes a product themselves that's at least as good.

For other data like Sharepoint: mover.io from Microsoft.

Mover is very good but you need to follow the instructions well.

https://mover.io/guides/migrating-office-365-to-office-365/

Its designed to tra safer data, not accounts. You won't find many systems which would do that, even costed paid for solution's.

You will always need to prepair the new environment first.

OK, I didn't do IMAP. I went back and looked. I used the new Exchange Online Admin portal migration, which used a Google API setup to do the migration.
Perform a G Suite migration | Microsoft Docs
Then I used mover.io to do that Drive to ODFB migration, which also went well for everyone. The only issues I ran into were on my mailbox (22 items, none of which I cared about) and very large stuff I was keeping in Drive (takeout exports, massive photo library). I migrated the stuff that I had in there to SharePoint in a lot of cases and a few specialized systems or Azure storage for some of the other things. All I have now is exactly what should be in ODFB: my files.

Yeah, it seems crazy that Microsoft straight up tell you to use a third party tool as they don't have the functionality in house.

They did acquire https://mover.io/ at the back end of last year for the user data so hopefully there's skills been brought on there than could eventually lead towards something for mailboxes.

I believe the content for Sharepoint and Teams will be migrated, but I don't imagine Groups and Teams configurations will likewise be migrated: https://mover.io/guides/migrating-office-365-to-office-365/#migration-faq

I imagine there are more robust and full-featured solutions out there with less moving parts.

As it's pretty common in modern days - not everything is on the surface, i.e. published in the portal. For OneDrive and stuff MS is getting ready for yall this thing - https://mover.io/ .

buttitan is just one selling snow in the winter.

There is one glimer of hope! Mover.io

MS just bought them so it will be free. The downside is that its not available in my region until some as yet undetermined date in the future. :-(

It is not possible to export an email that is already recovered to an EML or PST file. You can view an email directly from a backup and download the attached files in the web interface of NAKIVO Backup &amp; Replication. You can recover custom emails to a custom email mailbox. If you want to recover an email of a deleted user account, select an existing user account that you can control. In order to do this, when running the Object Recovery Wizard for Office 365, on the Options(4) step select Recovery type: Recover to a mailbox Mailbox: Select any existing mailbox that is available for your Office 365 subscription account.
