Cross-Tenant Access – Security hole? or am I missing a setting?
Hi,
I am just having a play with cross-tenant access as we’d like to use Shared Channels in Teams. I’ve setup a test connection between two tenants. Tenant A is configured for inbound access from Tenant B and then Tenant B is configured to outbound access to Tenant A. This appears be working. The part that makes me very nervous is if I sign into Azure using Tenant A’s URL i.e. https://portal.azure.com/TenantA and then login with my Tenant B credentials I can see all the Azure Entra settings including user names, email, enterprise apps, devices etc. Is this by design? Can I do anything to prevent this kind of access?
Cheers
Rob

“Bad Request” and MS365 shows no created booking pages
I strongly suspect this has something to do with the fact that my laptop was restarted yesterday for an update.
Now in my M365 page, it looks as if I’ve never created any Bookings, and the public links to the two Booking pages I created just show “Bad Request”.
Based on what I’m reading here on other threads, I’m REALLY hoping my problem will also just resolve itself. -_-

CoPilot Licenses
Hi,
We are a small organization with approx. 50 users. We currently have E3 licenses for all users. How can I procure copilot licenses for a few users to test before I can deploy for all my users.
Our Microsoft partner informs that we cannot deploy Copilot . Its so confusing, can someone clear the ai, as we are keen to deploy copilot.
TIA.

SUMPRODUCT with * wildcard
Hello,
I would like to use the function sumproduct for a table dealing with different projects and their financial parameters, as well as their geography (country and region). I need to synthetize the values for a particular project or a particular country or region (in which case a weighted average is necessary therefore the sumproduct came to my mind). Unfortunately, the sumproduct works well for a given project but if I need to get the synthesis for a country or region, I need to declare the wildcard * for the project and in that case, the sumproduct does not work. I found many posts indicating a partial solution (like ISNUMBER(FIND(xxxxx))), but none of them brings an answer to my problem and I cannot believe there is no smart solution for that simple issue.
Table definition (CSV):
Region, Country, Project, Turnover, Margin
Europe, Slovakia, ABC, 10, 5%
Europe, Slovakia, ABD, 15, 2%
Europe, Poland, ABB, 20, 12%
I need a formula which returns the weighted margin depending on the selected region, country or project.
Could you please help me ?
Best regards,
Frédéric

Syntex Taxonomy Tagging – Tagging Logic
Hi all,
I have correctly set up Microsoft Syntex Taxonomy Tagging in my environment. I would like to know if any of you have a little more knowledge about how the content is detected and how we can influence the chosen tag.
For example, I have financial statements that I want to be tagged “Financial Statements”. In my taxonomy tree “Document Type”, it finds another unrelated term like “CA”.
Do you know if the synonyms of the term store influence the tagging? Do you know if we can understand the reason for the tag selection to adjust to the taxonomy tagger?
Thank you for your help.

“Could not initialize license properties. QuickBooks error 3371 Status Code 11118: How to Fix?
I am a small business owner who relies heavily on QuickBooks for managing my business finances. Recently, I decided to uninstall QuickBooks from my computer for troubleshooting purposes. I then tried to reinstall QuickBooks using an old installation CD, which is designed for Windows 7/8.1.
When I attempted to reinstall QuickBooks using the CD, I encountered QuickBooks error 3371 status code 11118. This error prevents the software from loading, indicating that there is an issue with the QuickBooks installation files or a problem with accessing the necessary system components.
I am getting an error message that “Could not initialize license properties. QuickBooks error 3371: Could not initialize license properties. Status code: 11118.”
I tried multiple times to reinstall QuickBooks using the CD but continued to face the same error. Please help me out!

Open Source Microservices Platform Now Available
Hello! I have recently published a new open source microservices platform on GitHub. It is available under the MIT permissive license and is free to use for commercial purposes. I’m asking the .NET community for some help. https://ServiceBricks.com
I am currently BETA testing and I’m looking for developers and architects to help me with the final push to make it production ready. I could use another set of eyes to help shore up the last remaining bits.
ServiceBricks is a powerful platform designed to streamline the development, deployment, and maintenance of distributed systems. It provides domain-driven design, event-based architecture and a wealth of features to rapidly build new microservices and application quickly. Deploy single monoliths or distributed, multi-web applications using docker or kubernetes.
There are several pre-built microservices to start from to build your own application infrastructures. They are also open source and all source code is available.
Please drop me a line if you would like to help! I’m looking for discussions on microservices architecture and how they are implemented in code.
Thanks!
Danny

Printing in Windows 11
I have a Canon MX922 Printer that worked in Windows 8 and 10.
I now have a new laptop with Windows 11 and I am having a problem with the printer.
I told it to print a test page and it did.
I told it to print Head alignment value and it did.
I told it to print a jpg Pic and it did.
I told it to print an Open Doc page and a new text doc.
It said No Preview available and went through the notions of printing, but without putting any ink on the page.I have uninstalled and reinstalled the driver software without any difference.

Teams Transfer fails in the US
Hi All,
We have come across an issue with transferring calls in the US. We have AC SBC’s around the world configured for Direct Routing with multiple customers on. All sites are configured the same way, however we have come across an issue in the US SBC’s were transferred calls are failing intermittently.
We have had a case raised with MS for months and they are finally saying that our SBC isn’t responding to the REFER message. When we asked the source they say it’s coming from 70.37.163.146, which is in a range that’s not in the DR documentation, nor anywhere else I can find.
We want to open the firewalls but really need to know what this range is and MS support are taking weeks to reply.
Thanks,

Teams Wartebereich sporadisch
Hallo,
wir haben bei uns das Problem, dass der Wartebereich eigentlich für alle deaktiviert wurde im Admin Center. Also jeder, auch anonyme, können das Meeting starten. Trotzdem kommt es dazu, dass sporadisch ein Wartebereich vorhanden ist. Wir haben dies getestet mit einem Meeting und einer externen Person, die Person ist 5 mal dem Meeting beigetreten. Drei mal kam die Person ohne Wartebereich rein, 2 mal nicht. Obwohl es exakt das gleiche Meeting war. Ich kann mittlerweile nur annehmen, dass dies ein Bug ist o.ä. Hat da jemand ähnliche Erfahrungen und einen Tipp?

How Can I Fix QuickBooks Error 179 When Signing into a Banking Site? Suggestion would be appreciated
As a QuickBooks user, I want to be able to download my latest bank transactions, but I’m getting error 179 in my QuickBooks. This is frustrating because I want QuickBooks to successfully connect to my bank and download my transactions to reconcile my accounts and stay on top of my finances.
I open QuickBooks and navigate to the Banking section.I click on the “Download Transactions” button for my bank account.An error message pops up stating: “QuickBooks Error 179: Unable to connect to bank. Your bank may have rejected the login attempt.”I’m confused because I’m sure I logged out of my bank’s website earlier.

Windows 11 suddenly has trouble connecting to any bluetooth audio device.
Hello!
I hope some of you might have the magic combination to this problem as many things I’ve tried didn’t solve my following issue.
I’ve been using several amazing Bluetooth headphones as my main audio setup for my windows 11 machine but until a certain point this week it all has ceased functioning correctly. It started happening three days ago. I was in a voice call with some of my friends in the program called Discord and suddenly lost all audio. I then proceeded to attempt to reconnect, reinstall Bluetooth drivers, factory resetting my Bluetooth headphones. setting the Bluetooth discovery from default to advanced. Ensured my machine was discoverable. Tried using my motherboard’s internal Bluetooth (intel based) instead of my ASUS bt500 USB Bluetooth dongle. Removing the Bluetooth devices/radios and audio devices from the device manager and reinstalling them. Re-enabling the handsfree Bluetooth service as i disabled this earlier. Many of the listed attempts were performed with device reboots.
All attempts resulted in my machine not being able to hold a proper connection with several Bluetooth audio devices. The Bluetooth audio devices are Focal Bathys and the Bowers&Wilkins Px8. I tried connecting my machine to my mobile phone and for some reason that worked without issues. The connection held for file transfer and everything.
Let me show you in steps what i see :
i set my device i wish to connect into pairing mode.
after selecting the device i want to connect to it’ll try.
it’ll briefly say that the device is connected and quickly seems to disconnect.
the device is now listed in the audio devices.
but attempting to connect to them they always show this message below it. even though they’re discoverable and turned on.
If any of you folks could help me out I’d appreciate it greatly. Let me know if you need me to provide anything. Thank you. 🙂
