Document Set Shared Columns not showing any data
Hi all, Just wondering if anyone knew why a document set created which has Shared Columns enabled for, say Column A and Column B, not showing data for those columns below the document set structure?
At the top level my document set shows data for Column A and Column B, but when I click into the document set, which has a bunch of folders and files, Column A and Column B does not contain any information. I thought this data was inherited from the Document set for any files in the set?
Thank you in advance.

Teams SIP Gateway connected phones and voicemails
We have a strange issue. A Teams user got a new SIP device that is successfully integrated via SIP Gateway. If a caller leaves a message, it will appear as a voicemail in Outlook, all Teams apps and devices. The SIP device also shows that there is a new voicemail, but if we want to listen to the voicemail and press 1, we get told that there are no voicemails.
Do we need to change or add anything in the configuration?
Regards,
Matthias

edge keeps running in background regardless of settings
First of all, yes, I have already disabled ‘speed boost’ and turned off the setting that allows extensions and apps to continue running after closing edge, and still when I look at the running tasks there are multiple edge processes there (sleeping or otherwise) after exiting.
This is obviously an unnecessary waste of memory and processor resources etc., but what is much worse than this is that any credentials established with websites using integrated authentication are also maintained and used again when the browser is re-launched.
So if multiple people are using a machine and one authenticates against a website using integrated authentication and then they close the browser and leave, their credentials are applied when whoever uses the machine next accesses that same site.
This would seem to be a fairly serious security issue, and I have submitted this as a bug through the browser’s feedback mechanisms, but has anyone else experienced this and/or found a solution?

Organization Branding and Transparency
We receive a lot of spam and links to Google Forms from outside organizations. When I look at Microsoft Forms, there is no way to tell if the form is owned by the organization or not. I know in FormStack, you can brand the URL to your organization.
It would be nice to have a bottom banner that is the organization’s primary color and maybe the logo and to have “this form is part of the ________ organization” and the URL would be great to brand as well.
Organization.forms.office.com/______ or forms.office.com/organization/____ similarly to SharePoint’s URL schematics.

Excel Macro Security
Hello All,
I’m having an issue with Excel Macro security. We have 5 computers at the office on the same network and shared through a OneDrive shared folder.
On my computer the Marco’s work no problem, once i open an Excel file with a Marco, a security bar opens to ENABLE. Even though the Marco’s created by someone else in my office, i can open and use the macro’s no problem.
But other computers in my office will not give me the option to ENABLE as you can see below. I’ve even recreated the file with new macros on anther computer and after restarting Excel i get the SECURITY RISK message.
I’ve tried all the options i found on this community under macro securities, with no prevail.
Any help please.
Thanks
SC

SharePoint online – Disable “Select a template” welcome message and “Next steps” tips pane
Are there any solutions to globally disable the “Select a template” welcome message and “Next steps” tips pane for SharePoint sites? These appear when a user with Owner permissions visits the site for the first time.
In organisations where SharePoint governance is in place and site templating is used as part of a managed site creation process these are irrelevant and need to be disabled.

Keeping our Outlook Personal Email Users Safe: Reinforcing Our Commitment to Security
At Microsoft, our aim is to provide a modern and secure email experience for our users, leveraging the latest technologies to enhance functionality and ease of use. When it comes to Outlook, we want to ensure our customers’ emails, documents, calendar, and contacts are safeguarded from unauthorized access, tampering or loss. Today, we’re announcing changes to Outlook for personal use to enhance the security of our consumer customers. These changes are aligned to the Microsoft Secure Future Initiative (SFI). They are:
The deprecation of Basic Authentication for Outlook personal email accounts effective September 16, 2024
A reminder of end of support for the Mail & Calendar apps by the end of 2024
And the deprecation of light version of Outlook web application effective August 19, 2024
Starting September 16th, Microsoft personal email account users (e.g. Outlook.com, Hotmail.com, Live.com) will need to move to Modern Authentication methods in their email application. These will be necessary for all Outlook users.
To help keep Outlook personal email accounts secure, starting September 16, 2024, Microsoft will no longer support Basic Auth, the method in which a person provides only their username and password to sign into their account. As of September 16, 2024, Outlook will require that all those with a Microsoft email account use a mail or calendar app or the Outlook.com website which supports modern auth, such as the latest versions of Outlook, Apple Mail, or Thunderbird.
While Basic Auth was the standard for quite some time, it also made it easier for bad actors to capture a person’s login information. This increased the risk of those stolen credentials being reused to gain access to a person’s email or personal data. Email-based cyberattacks have only increased with time, so we are requiring modern authentication for all Outlook customers to better help protect their personal accounts.
With Modern Authentication methods we apply additional backend process/tokens that users may not notice that add an extra layer of security. Anyone who is attempting to use an application which does not support modern authentication will no longer be able to access their Outlook.com, Hotmail or Live.com email from those applications.
Here are the steps Outlook users can take to better secure their personal email accounts today:
The easiest way to make sure you are ready and using modern authentication is to download one of the free Outlook apps for iOS, Android, Outlook for Mac, or Outlook for Windows. People can also purchase a new Outlook license or use the Outlook that is included in your Microsoft 365 subscription. People who use Outlook 2021 (build 11601.10000 or higher) are also not affected. People can also purchase a new Outlook license or use the Outlook that is included in your Microsoft 365 subscription. People who use Outlook 2021 (build 11601.10000 or higher) are also not affected.
Additional Details can be found here.

Windows Mail and Calendar apps will move out of support in 2024
Last year we launched a new version of the Outlook for Windows application, which brings Outlook to everyone on Windows – for free. We’ve seen millions of people move into the new Outlook for Windows since our launch, putting it on par for consumer usage with our classic Outlook for Windows app – in a much shorter time. Most people who were using Mail and Calendar have migrated to Outlook for Windows.
With the evolving cyberthreat landscape and our commitment to providing the most secure email experience to our customers, we want to remind people that the Mail and Calendar apps will no longer be supported or available in the Microsoft Store by the end of 2024.
Outlook for Windows is for everyone – regardless of what email service you use. There is no subscription needed for personal email accounts to use Outlook for Windows and it provides a multitude of features that Mail and Calendar doesn’t include, such as rich message editing, the ability to use Copilot, and reminding you of important conversations. Outlook for Windows also supports Modern Authentication. We are also working on new features in the coming months that will improve Junk Mail filtering and help users better protect themselves from malicious mail.
We encourage all remaining users of the Mail and Calendar apps on Windows to move to Outlook for Windows as soon as possible.
The light Version of the Outlook Web App will no longer be supported after August 19, 2024
We understand accessing your Outlook.com account from anywhere is important. Many customers access Outlook.com from web browsers. While most customers access their personal email accounts through modern and current browsers, we were offering a lightweight version of the Outlook web app that was supported by older browsers. As we accelerate our security efforts to help better protect our customers, we are retiring the light version of the Outlook web app. This means that after 2024 customers will need to run the latest versions of a supported browser to run Outlook.com.
Browser Minimum requirements to run Outlook.com:
Microsoft Edge (version 79 or later)
Chrome (version 79 or later)
Firefox (78 or later)
Safari (version 16 or later)
Opera (76 or later)
Operating System Minimum Requirements:
Windows OS: Windows 11, Windows 10, Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019, or Windows Server 2016
macOS: macOS Sonoma, macOS Ventura, and macOS Monterey
Linux: Outlook.com works in both Firefox and Chrome on Linux
Additional Outlook Feature Retirements
In addition to the above, we are retiring the following Outlook features:
The ability for people to access their Gmail accounts in Outlook.com via the left rail as of June 30, 2024. Users on Windows should use Outlook for Windows, which will enable them to use their Gmail accounts seamlessly. Outlook users on Mac can use Outlook for Mac.
Last, due to our deprecation of Cortana, all services that depended on it are also being deprecated. For Outlook mobile users that means that Play My Emails and Voice Search will be deprecated at the end of June, 2024. For those affected by this, we ask them to use the native mobile OS features that enable voice commands.
We are taking these actions to ensure that we’re able to continue to best serve our customers and to keep their data as safe as possible. These changes will help us continue to do so and better serve the people who depend on Outlook in their daily lives.

Domainbased Encryption using S/MINE with EXO
Hi Everybody,
I’m looking for a solution for this usecase:
An organisation uses EXO and sends outgoing Emails to a variety of customars.Outgoing Emails should be encrypted by S/MIMEA separate S/MIME certificate sholud be used for each receipent domain/customar
As far as i see, the standard solution with S/MIME and transport rules in Purview only offers a user-based solution with unique certificates for each user.
Any ideas how to solve my usecase?
Thanks for every post!

Are synapse publishing errors logged in log analytics
Hi, we have a development synapse workspace that is integrated with git so that everytime we commit pull request we follow up with publishing the changes. The synapse workspace is also configured to log into a dedicated log analytics workspace. I would like to be able to see a history of synapse workspace publishing errors in log analytics. Is this even possible and if so in what log table? Is there any specific diagnostic setting that I need to turn on (I have audit and all logs checked)Much appreciated

Bookings shows no dates available until clearing site data
As the title suggests, I have had this issue recurring with the bookings application for a client.
Most times when the client adds a booking in at the start of the day it works fine. However, when the booking has been made and we go to make another, it will not let us add another booking on that date as it brings up “There are no available bookings for this day”. The only fix I have found for this is opening manage site data on chrome and deleting the site cookies where we sign in again and this is fixed, UNTIL 5 MINUTES LATER WHEN THEY WANT ANOTHER BOOKING…
We’ve tried all browsers from DuckDuckGo, FireFox to Safari and Chrome.
Removing permissions and re adding.
Deleting the bookings page and setting up from scratch.
We’ve tried leaving calendar settings as default and modified to the clients preferences
Made sure all settings, even down to the time zone, match any troubleshooting methods out there.
And spending countless hours googling and trying to fix this but it persists.
Can anyone help shed some light?
Could this be due to the main calendar being open to nearly 100 people and they have their own calendars and then booking sites linked? Could it be down to one users settings that is throwing off the sync? Just weird how this is happening to all users…
Thanks in advance :smiling_face_with_smiling_eyes:

New Outlook: Workaround Solution for Creating Rules for Sent Items
Many users have expressed that they are missing one of Outlook Classic’s features: the ability to create rules for sent items. One popular use is automatically moving a Sent item to a designated folder of choice, which reduces the time it takes to handle email.
Currently, rules in New Outlook manage received messages in the Inbox. You can read this blog for details.
New Outlook Limitations: Outgoing Message Rules » TRACCreations4E
I am happy to share that I finally came up with a workaround solution to add a copy of the message you sent to a folder of your choice. Yes, the original message will remain in the Sent folder, but you don’t have to manually move it. This method should hold you over until Microsoft rolls out this sent rules functionality, which has not yet been added to the roadmap.
Watch the full tutorial to discover how you can:
Setup your email
Use hashtags in your signature line
Set up an automatic rule
Video: https://youtu.be/guOjz5lHJEY?si=un6jp2afgO-3PAhg
Remember, this is a workaround solution. I am also waiting patiently for the Sent Rules functionality.
If you find this information helpful, please mark it as the best response, which will assist others with the same question.

Error code 404 : When Overwriting a Sharepoint column that contains space before ‘/’ in it’s name
I have created a SharePoint List with column name that contains space before ‘/’. Ex: “ABC /DEF”
When I am trying to overwrite the same column it fails with Error . Response code: 404.
So does it have anything to do with column name? Are there any guidelines on creating column name with special characters (including space, ‘/’) in sharepoint list?
