Teams for MacOS constantly quitting while I’m away.
Practically every day, I’m finding that Teams has closed on its own while I was away from my computer. This could be while I’m away for an hour for lunch or it could be over night while the computer is on with the laptop lid is closed with the lid open overnight. This also happens, though with less frequency, with Outlook.
The main issue is that I can easily go hours without noticing that my main communication tool is no longer running, causing me to miss important calls and messages. These is no notification or warning or anything to notify me of what happened or if there may have been an issue.
It’s difficult to say for how long this has been happening. I think the quitting on its own has always happened a few times a year. The quitting every day, or multiple times a day, has been an issue for maybe a couple weeks.
MacOS: 14.5
Teams: 24231.507.3099.9636.
Outlook: 16.89

AuthentificationNotConfigured (Copilot agent)
Hi
Trying to use new copilot GPT. I am on the demo website, and I keep getting the same error, which is:
“An error has occurred. Error code: AuthenticationNotConfigured Conversation Id: HvJXikXQmyp8Y8n4f8rkAP-eu Time (UTC): 2024-09-18T10:55:49.093Z.”
I have already set authentication required to none. Also tried publishing several times and waiting 24 hours but the error persists.
I find I can ask it general questions like “how are you” but as soon as I ask it questions relating to the uploaded test documents, this error comes. How to fix?

Large amount of calenders open
We have a user who monitors a LOT of calenders.
Unfortanatly with office 365 there are limitations when you have thousands upon thousands of entries in calenders so you need to switch off cached exchange mode.otherwise not all entries will download. which we do. so accessing calenders is slow.
Outlook is incredibly slow when accessing these calenders. Is there any kind of optimisation tool?
Another byproduct of this is some shared calenders she access some days are blank and then others have entries in even though the persons calender that is shared has a full calender.
is there an easier way to work!? has anyone found archiving senior managers calenders helps.

Utilizing Azure DDoS Protection Workbook for DDoS attack traffic Analysis
In today’s digital age, the security of applications, servers, and networks is paramount. One of the most significant threats to this security is Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. These attacks can cripple your infrastructure, leading to downtime, loss of revenue, and damage to your reputation. Therefore, it is crucial to implement robust protection mechanisms to safeguard your digital assets.
Azure DDoS Protection offers a comprehensive solution to defend against these malicious attacks. It provides automatic attack detection and mitigation, ensuring that your applications and services remain available even during an attack. Azure DDoS Protection is seamlessly integrated with Azure’s native services, making it an ideal choice for businesses already leveraging the Azure ecosystem. Some of the salient features of Azure DDoS Protection include Adaptive Tuning, Attack Analytics and Metrics, DDoS Rapid Response etc. By leveraging Azure DDoS Protection, businesses can ensure the resilience and availability of their digital infrastructure, providing peace of mind in an increasingly hostile cyber environment.
In this blog we will be focusing on how to understand the current DDoS attacks landscape within our environment using Azure DDoS Workbook.
Investigating DDoS Attacks Landscape with Azure DDoS Workbook
When a DDoS attack occurs, it’s crucial to have the right tools to investigate and understand the attack’s impact. The Azure DDoS Workbook is an invaluable resource for this purpose. It provides detailed insights into DDoS attack traffic over a given period of time in a single dashboard. For more information on a deep dive investigation of a DDoS Attack, check the detailed steps mentioned here.
Setting up the DDoS Workbook: Outlined below are the necessary steps to set up and effectively utilize the DDoS workbook.
Configure Diagnostic Logging and Metrics: Ensure that diagnostic settings are enabled for the public IP addresses you want to monitor. This will allow you to collect the required DDoS mitigation flow logs, reports and Metrics as shown below.
Access the Azure DDoS Workbook: The Azure DDoS Workbook can be deployed from either installing the Sentinel Solution for Azure DDoS Protection or using the deployment template in the Azure Network Security GitHub repository as shown below. It provides a comprehensive view of DDoS attack metrics and logs in a single dashboard.
1. Sentinel Solution: Navigate to the Sentinel Blade’s Content Hub tab and install the Azure DDoS Protection Solution.
2. Net Sec GitHub Repository: Navigate to the Net Sec GitHub Repository and deploy the workbook using Azure Deploy button as shown below:
Configuring the Azure DDoS Workbook: The Azure DDoS Workbook needs to be provided with the Log Analytic Workspace, TimeRange and Public IP resource details as shown below:
Analyzing the Workbook Details:
Traffic Overview: This section offers comprehensive details on the total number of packets and the various categories of dropped packets during the DDoS attacks for the timeline defined in the above step.
Last Ten DDoS Attack Reports: This section provides the details of Attack reports, resources affected, attack vectors and packet information as we can see below.
Location and Protocol details: This section provides categorized details on the protocols involved in the DDoS attacks, the origins of these attacks, and the protocol violations that occurred during past DDoS incidents.
Raw DDoS Mitigation and Flow Logs: Furthermore, if we would like to take a look at the Raw DDoS Logs those are also available as part of the workbook so that we do not have to separately look for them in the log analytic workspace. DDoS mitigation flow logs listed here are based on the sampled data.
DDoS Metrics Tab: The DDoS Metrics Tab provides graphical representation of all the important metrics like Packet count, Syn packets threshold to trigger DDoS mitigation, inbound DDoS TCP/UDP packets and Under DDoS attack or not as shown below. For detailed information on these metrics, check the blog referenced here. Most of the metrics here are based on number of Packets Per Second and Packets/Byte Counts.
Investigation Tab: The Investigation Tab in the workbook offers specific details on the number of packets that were dropped or allowed during past DDoS attacks, including the ports involved. Additionally, this tab provides information on the top attacking IPs and the timeline of the mitigation activities, as illustrated below.
Conclusion:
Azure DDoS Protection is a powerful service that helps protect your Azure resources from DDoS attacks. By leveraging the Azure DDoS Workbook, you can gain valuable insights into attack traffic and mitigation actions, enabling you to respond effectively and maintain the availability of your applications. Stay vigilant and proactive in defending against DDoS attacks to ensure the resilience of your online services.

In the Word title bar where the filename is shown Word has stopped saying if the file is “saved”
In the Word title bar where the filename is shown, Office 365 Word has very recently stopped saying if the file is “saved” or “saved to pc”. This feature seems to still exist in Excel.- see screenshots.
.
This is a very useful feature.
In the version 2408 release notes for August 26 (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/officeupdates/current-channel#word) it says “We fixed an issue where a document displayed as saved instead of working offline.” I wonder if this “fix” is the culprit!
Please can we have the information in the title bar about whether the file is saved or not back.
Thanks

Assistance Required for Account Recovery
Hello,
I am having trouble accessing my account: r.**@*.*). When I attempt to log in, I receive the message: “Something went wrong” (without any error code). Upon trying to reset my password, I discovered that a different email (er*****@talktaik.online) is linked to the account, which raises concerns that my account may have been compromised.
Despite entering all the required information for recovery, I am informed that it’s insufficient. Could you please assist in resetting the password or provide a way to send the recovery link to the correct email: r.**@*.*? Any alternative solutions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your support.

Teams Notifications for File Uploads – without using Sharepoint
Hi all,
I’m just wondering if there is a way to get notifications solely from Teams when a new file is uploaded to a Teams folder?
I note that we can do this in the Sharepoint, which will in turn send notifications to our email addresses, but…
a) we rarely use Sharepoint
b) we use Microsoft Outlook (desktop version for Mac) and the notifications do not come through!
We only see them if we log into Microsoft 365. Very strange…
Any help/advice would be very much appreciated.
Thank you

Cannot create links to folders in new Outlook
The new Outlook doesn’t seem to have the option to create a hyperlink for folder location that the current Outlook has. We use this feature normally in the office. This lack of feature in the new Outlook is what is preventing us to start using it.

Using the Get-RecoverableItems Cmdlet to Report Recoverable Items
Sometimes you don’t need the full-fledged Graph API to report details of items in Recoverable Items and the Get-RecoverableItems cmdlet can do the job. The data fetched by the cmdlet isn’t as rich as the information available through the Graph, but if all you want is a simple listing of what’s in a mailbox’s Deletions folder, Get-RecoverableItems is a good solution. And best of all, we provide a full script to show how.

How to partition a hard drive in Windows 11 without losing data?
Hi everyone,
There is too much free space on C drive and I want to split C drive into two partitions. I’m currently running Windows 11 and looking for a way to partition my hard drive in Windows 11 without losing data. I’ve done some basic research but I’m still unsure about the best approach to ensure everything remains intact.
Has anyone here successfully partitioned their hard drive without risking data loss? I’m particularly interested in using Windows’ built-in tools like Disk Management, but I’m open to other methods if they are reliable and easy to use. Here are some specifics:
I want to shrink the main C: drive to create another partition for storing files.My data is not backed up, so I’m cautious about taking any risksAre there any precautions I should take before starting this process?
Thanks in advance for any advice or step-by-step guidance!

Instalation problem SQLServer 2019/2022 on Win11
Hi everyone,
I’m writing here for the first time because I ran out of ideas.
I had a working SQLServer Express 2019 (CU13) on Win10Pro machine. For educational and development purposes, local instalation, nothinng special.
Recently, I upgraded Win10 to Win11. The SQLServer service stopped working immediately. I tried everything to start the service but no luck.
The next thing I tried was uninstall SQLServer2019 and install new one (2022 and 2019, same thing). At the end of the instalation, both give me the same error:
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server 2022 Setup
——————————
The following error has occurred:
The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
Error code: 0x84BB0001
I searched all over the Internet and tried:
Uninstall SQLServer and all components, delete all folders related with SQLServerClean the registry keys and values related to SQLServer manually and check with CCleanerCheck fsutil fsinfo sectorinfo C:, and it is fine (512/4096)Tried sfc, d*ism, chkdsk – all okDownload new ISO installation (2022 and 2019), mountsetup.exe – Run as AdministratorDisable firewall, antivirus, DefenderTried installing under the default directory name and the short one, changed instance nameCreate new local admin user and install under the new user
Nothing helps. The error is the same whatever I do or install 2019 or 2022 version.
Checked error log – can’t find anything to guide me to the solution.
Checked Global Rules – it’s fine
The SSD that I have is (the same SSD as on Win10 where everything worked):

Sensitivity Labels applied to email attachments versus directly on the document
I’ve noticed that the encryption applied to email attachments via sensitivity labels behaves differently than if the encryption is applied directly to the document.
Example 1: I create an email and choose a sensitivity label that encrypts contents based on the specified users. I attach a Word document that does not have a sensitivity label applied. The email and attachment are encrypted. The email is sent to an external user
Example 2: I create an email and attach a Word document that has already been assigned a sensitivity label that includes encryption. The email is sent to an external user.
In Example 1, the recipient can view the attachment in Outlook Web. In Example 2, the document can’t be viewed in Outlook Web. You will see a message “Sorry, Word can’t open this document in a browser because it’s protected by Information Rights Management”.
In example 1, the recipient can forward the email to someone in a separate tenant. They can also view the email and attachment.
Is this expected behavior?

Multiple subtask under a single task via list tracker
I’m working on a project that I’ve created a “list tracker” to help organize. However, I’ve been asked if it is possible to display the subtask nested under the larger task. This comes into play when I have several departments involved in a collective task but, I want to show delays or completness by department. The tasks are different and could have different due dates. Right now, I’m manually creating it in Excel and then displaying in PowerPoint. I know there is a better way than what I’m doing. I would love to hear any suggestions on how to keep it in Sharepoint as we display it during other topics of discussion and reduce my workload.
