Planner – Deletion
Hi,
I want to know if plan deletion notifications are sent to the person who created the plan or to everyone who owns it?
Someone in our organization is leaving and she doesn’t want plans to disappear if she’s the only one to receive notices once she leaves.
Does the deletion of a plan occur when it has not been used for a certain period of time? If yes, how long?
Thank you very much!

How to have multiple services using only one mailbox and one booking site.
I’ve seen people on here have had the displeasure of running into the same problem I had:
To manage multiple services through one booking site while still being able to allow conflicting appointments and have all appointments gathered in a single Outlook calendar rather than the Bookings calendar in Teams.
The problem
If you connect more than one service in Bookings to a single staff member the slot gets occupied in the schedule and therefore unavailable.
If service #1 is booked at 9pm on the 25th of April, that time slot is marked as occupied and blocked from further interaction.
If another person visits the site a few minutes later and tries to book service #2 at the same date and at the same time, it’s simply not possible as the slot is shown as unavailable as it’s occupied.
A rather easy fix would be to assign each service it’s own Booking site but the maintenance would be awful.
User request
The user wanted a number of employees to handle the booking site of multiple services but not by associating service#1 to Employee#1, Service#2 to Employee#2 and so on but by having all the employees receiving updates from all the services and for them to be able to get a complete overview of the appointments in Outlook rather than in Teams.
TL;DR: All services managed from one calendar in Outlook.
Research – trial and error
I initially came up with the idea to use a single distribution list to get all the employees to receive appointments but I came to the brutal realization of this not solving the trouble of the time slot being occupied by another service once one service was booked.
So had to set up 6 different distribution lists simply to act as “staff members”, one for each station.
Service1 mail, service2 mail etc and then I connected them to its equivalent on the website (service1 mail handling service #1 on the website)
This was how I got around having to set up multiple booking sites and could handle all the service bookings on one site, making the administration a bit more manageable.
Persistent issue
Setting up 6 different distribution lists did solve the occupancy issue in the calendars but it did not solve the issue of trying to show 7 different calendars in Outlook while trying to maintain a decent layout.
(6 services calendars plus the user’s personal calendar) = chaos.
The ACTUAL fix!
I continued brainstorming and while doing so I fired up Powershell and tried making use of ExchangeOnline commands.
I went through every single argument out there but was left disappointed and pretty much about to give up but then something just clicked.
I got the idea to use a shared mailbox as the sole member and owner of every single distribution list I had created.
This would theoretically mean that the shared mailbox would receive every single appointment from Microsoft Bookings as well as gathering all the appointments in one single calendar. And then just hand the employees full access to the shared mailbox.
I was however met with stern resistance immediately as I was only allowed to set a UserMailbox as the owner of a distribution list in EAC.
So I had to turn back to PowerShell.
The argument “ManagedBy” is the PowerShell-equivalent of owner in EAC.
To change the owner of a distribution list you must install the ExchangeOnline-module in Powershell, then login with your admin credentials.
Command to change owner:
Set-DistributionGroup -Identity “service1@yourcompany . com” -ManagedBy “SharedMailbox @ yourcompany . com”
Command to add the shared mailbox as member: Add-DistributionGroupMember -identity “service1@yourcompany . com” -Member “SharedMailbox @ yourcompany . com”
So I did this for all the distribution lists I had created.
Next I had to go back to EAC to remove every existing member of the distribution lists apart from the shared mailbox which meant it was now the only member and owner. Therefore all appointments made at the booking site are now forwarded to the inbox of the shared mailbox.
You can’t set just set any type of mailbox as the owner of a distribution list though, it has got to be UserMailbox, Legacy, Team, RemoteUser,Room etc.
Which type of mailbox you end up picking is mostly down to personal preference but I chose to go with a shared mailbox as I was somewhat familiar with it’s user-scope.
Just to rule out any possible conflict issue I allowed conflicting meetings for the shared mailbox which means that two appointments at the same date and time would stack on top each other instead of cancelling each other out.
Command to Allow conflicts:
Set-CalendarProcessing -identity “SharedMailbox @ yourcompany . com” -AllowConflicts $true
Done!
All appointments will now be sent to a shared mailbox and they will all be gathered in one single calendar 😊

Calculation of truck consumption
Hi,
I’m kindly asking for your help in setting up the correct formula for the attached spreadsheet.
You will find in column A a list of trucks identified by fleet numbers. On a daily basis new columns are added to manually input information on diesel volumes erogated (Column D = “Diesel Ltrs”) and a record of the mileage (Column E = “KM”).
I need a formula that can find and subtract the latest and penultimate KM values for each truck details entered to be calculate the fuel consumption (km per litre) on the last trip performed by the truck. You will find a manually entered calculation in column C in the attached file for the first truck.
Your help would be highly appreciated,
Many Thanks
Vito

Fonts & Colors – NULL field background color
I have changed the fonts and colors of SQL Server to emulate a dark mode. The only problem I have now is that the NULL field is unreadable.
See this screenshot for an illustration:
The regular fields are white text with black background. I did this by changing Fonts & Colors > Grid Results > Text. How do I change the background of the NULL field (3rd row)? The only option in Grid Results is “Text”.
I am using SQL Server Management Studio 20.

Settings for a 6x6in sidefold card
Hi. I’m losing my mind!
Can you explain the settings to print a 6x6inch sidefold card? I can get so far as creating a template (front, middle, back), and have no problem creating the design.
The problems start when I want to print onto 6×6 cardstock. (I am using a Canon iX6800) When I access the print menu in Publisher, it doesn’t offer that card size. (I presume that the card size would be 12×6, 6×12 or 6×6 somewhere).
If you could walk me through the settings, that would be great. If it’s simply not possible, please put me out of my misery! Thanks for looking.

How to Install OneDrive on a High-Capacity SD Card
What sets apart a removable drive from a non-removable drive, and an ejectable drive from a non-ejectable drive?
I am looking to transfer my OneDrive folder to my SD card. Internet sources suggest that this is possible. However, I am curious–if the SD card is inserted into the slot, can it be both removable and ejectable?
Is there a way to make an external drive non-ejectable?

Terminal Application Unable to Locate Chosen Font
After choosing the “FiraCode Nerd Font” in Terminal settings for Ubuntu, Powershell, or default profiles, the font initially works well. However, upon closing and reopening Terminal, an error message appears stating that the selected font “FiraCode Nerd Font” cannot be found, and “Consolas” is automatically chosen instead. The only instance where this warning does not occur is when Terminal is launched as an Administrator and the “FiraCode Nerd Font” is selected successfully. How can I address this issue?

Title: “Missing/NPST File”
I had Outlook 2016 and Excel 2016 open on my laptop.
After leaving the laptop unattended for a period of time, I returned to find the screen was off due to the screensaver, possibly indicating that the laptop had gone into Sleep mode.
Upon reactivating the screen, I noticed that Outlook was unable to connect to the Internet. Despite clicking on Send/Receive multiple times, there was no response. When attempting to close Outlook, I found that the program was unresponsive and frozen.
I had to force the program to close using Task Manager.
Upon trying to reopen Outlook, I encountered an error message stating that the Mail pst file could not be located.
My Pst files are typically stored on a Micro SD card (D Drive). I searched through the D Drive using File Explorer, ExplorerXp, and MSDOS but could not locate the file.
Subsequently, I tried various recovery software such as Disk Drill, File Scavenger, ScanPST, and Outlook Repair tools, but unfortunately, none of them were successful in locating the Mail pst file.
It seems that the Mail pst file has inexplicably disappeared.
Any assistance in recovering the pst file would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
John

Fixing a Taskbar Problem on Windows 11
After installing the Windows Configuration Update (KB5030509), my taskbar underwent significant changes. Before the update, I had it set with the start button in the middle, and on the right were my frequently used program icons, such as CCleaner. However, since the update, the layout is completely different and I cannot seem to restore it to its original configuration when I first received my new computer in February. It’s frustrating to see these unexpected changes without understanding why Microsoft made such alterations.
