Getting Error : 400 Bad Request and invalidRequest While creating OneDrive Documents versions Graph
Here going to create versions (version history) of a document using this type of curl
POST /v1.0/drives/{drive-id}/items/{item-id}/versions
Content-Type: application/json
{
“content”: {
“@odata.type”: “#microsoft.graph.fileContent”,
“sourceUrl”: “data:text/plain;base64,SGVsbG8gV29ybGQhCg==”
}
}
but in the response I am getting following error:
{
“error”: {
“code”: “invalidRequest”,
“message”: “Invalid request”,
“innerError”: {
“date”: “2024-05-29T20:10:45”,

What am I doing wrong? Is there any other Microsoft Graph API or method for creating documents versions.
In the response I expect ‘Created’ or 201 code, that means a new version of file or document added in version history. Please help me to resolve this error. Thanks in Advance !

Deleting and or Consolidating Date info for Pivot Tables
Folks,
I am a little new to excel’s data processing features. I’ve done all the basic stuff for years, but I am diving in deeper. I am having trouble with correlating data streams from multiple sources that have specific time stamps. I need to utilize the date and hour times with the associated data, but I can’t figure out how to correlate this between multiple data streams. I am having trouble trying to associate the time values between different data streams. I am sure there is a way to do this. Each data stream has a unique time stamp with DATE HH:MM:SS. I need to match up the dates and hours on the different streams. I want to plot multiple data streams on one graph or interactive pivot table. I can’t figure out how to get excel to ignore minutes and seconds between readings and incorporate it together. I really just want one hourly reading instead of the 6 reading every ten-ish minutes.
For Example. I have this record. My other records are a few seconds or minutes off. Some data missing for hours or days. I cannot figure out how to correlate this sort of data together. Any advice would be appreciated.

Use Word Template Content in Print to Size 10 Envelope
I have been trying to configure content to print on lower/center of a
size 10 envelope.
The envelopes are loaded in the manual feeder tray as shown below.
I am using Power Automate to collect data from an Excel
document and placing it in the below Word Template
document, where there are several mail merge fields
(see below).
I am using Power Automate to place each address into a
Word file. I am PA to convert the Word file to PDF. I then
use PA to merge each Word files into a single PDF file
(see below).
I have yet to be able to figure out how to set the printer
setting to sitution the content from the merged PDF file
so that is prints onto the size 10 envelope in the lower/center.
What am I missing?

Attack Simulation Training in Chinese showing as garbled character
Hi All,
We recently moved to a new mail security gateway and initiated an attack simulation training from Microsoft. The scenario include 2 recipient; one from exchange online(EXO) and the other is exchange 2019 mailbox(OP).
OP mail flow will go through mail security gateway before delivering to enduser while EXO go through EOP. Thing is using same payload and simulation, email to OP user always show as garbled and the link inside will contain a space which break the link. Meanwhile email to EXO works just fine.
I believe it has something to do with the encoding, does anyone come around this issue before?
Thanks Y’all

Excel conditional formatting
Hi all!
Im having a tough time figuring this one out. I usually use conditional formatting to find unique entries between two columns, however I now need them to be date specific. I want it to flag if it is unique per day.
I am reconciling between what we have on the books and what our statement says and there are some common charges that I don’t want being considered duplicate unless there was a charge for that on the same date as our records indicate.

Copilot cannot access OneDrive for Business files
I asked Copilot to look for files related to a client project. The files are saved to my OneDrive for Business account, which is part of my Office 365 E3 subscription.
Copilot returned the following error:
To give me access to your OneDrive folders, you would typically share the folder with my email address or provide a shareable link that I can access. However, as Microsoft 365 Copilot, I don’t have the capability to access personal OneDrive folders or files directly. My functionality is limited to providing assistance based on the information available to me through the search results and the capabilities I have within this chat.
If you need help with organizing or finding information within your OneDrive, I can guide you on how to use the search and organization features of OneDrive. Let me know how I can assist you further!
Additional Information:
In my 365 Admin Panel, Copilot has been given all permissions.Copilot now seems to be able to search my emails, so that’s an improvement.
This is extremely frustrating.
How do I set up my account so that Copilot can access everything across my 365 ecosystem?

Public Preview: App Service Authentication Logs on Diagnostic Settings
A new log “AppServiceAuthenticationLogs” is now available in Public Preview for App Service resources on Windows. This would include Web Apps, Functions, and Logic Apps. If you would like to have more visibility into your App Service Authentication and would like to troubleshoot or self-diagnose issues, you can enable this log category to help with these scenarios.
App Service Linux resources and Functions Consumption Plan (Linux and Windows) currently does not support this log. You may still see this log as an option in the Diagnostic Settings. However, if your resource is one of the unsupported scenarios, you will not see any logs despite enabling “AppServiceAuthenticationLogs”.
Like any Diagnostic Settings logs, this log could be enabled via Diagnostic Settings and will show up as “App Service Authentication Logs”. However, one important difference from the previous logs is that “AppServiceAuthenticationLogs” would be charged for the cost to export logs to various endpoints, in addition to the cost of using the endpoints (ie. Storage, Log Analytics). You can find more information on platform logs export pricing and a list of exportable logs on App Service.
The next section of the article will go more in depth into the different logs that will be emitted and will provide you with a better understanding about each log.
Supported Logs
AppServiceAuthenticationLogs currently will only generate “Warning” and “Error” logs. No logs will be generated for successful App Service Authentication requests.
Log Messages
This section contains additional information for common Warning and Error logs that may be helpful for diagnosing potential issues. Please note that any suggested actions are only recommendations and that individual scenarios may differ.
Warning Logs
Message
Comment/Recommendation
JWT validation failed:
Audience validation failure
May occur if the audience parameter in the incoming token is not specified as an allowed audience in your configuration, resulting in a 401 response code. The audience parameter specifies the resource that the token grants access to and typically should be the Client Id of your web app.
IDX12741: JWT: ‘[PII of type ‘System.String’ is hidden. For more details, see https://aka.ms/IdentityModel/PII.]’ must have three segments (JWS) or five segments (JWE)..
Indicates an incorrectly formatted JWT token that may result in a 401 response code.
Principal (isUser: False) failed single tenancy check for single tenant AAD app.
Indicates that the incoming token did not come from the same tenant as the AAD application and there may be issues with single-tenancy.
An authenticated principal (userhash: ***) for an API call failed authorization.
——————————-
An authenticated principal (userhash: ***) for an API call has a cached failed authorization check.
Expected to occur if the incoming token should not have access to the resource and will result in a 403 response code. If this is unexpected, then the authorization policies in your configuration may be incorrectly defined (check the allowed principals, allowed applications, and allowed tenants properties).
Login token for ‘***’ was rejected because contained an invalid ‘nonce’ claim.
——————————-
Login token for ‘***’ was rejected because it did not contain a ‘nonce’ claim.
——————————-
Failed to read the ‘Nonce’ cookie for site ‘***’
May occur if the login session takes too long to complete. The nonce claim is associated with the login session and will expire after a set time. If this occurs, attempt login again.
Access was denied for ‘***’ because this principal does not match any of the allowed applications.
——————————-
Access was denied for ‘***’ because this principal does not match any of the principal policies.
——————————-
Access was denied for ‘***’ because this principal does not match any of the allowed tenants.
Expected to occur if the incoming token should not have access to the resource and will result in a 403 response code. If this is unexpected, then check that the relevant property (allowed principals, allowed applications, or allowed tenants) match the principal claims in the token.
Error Logs
Message
Comment/Recommendation
HTTP proxy request encountered exception.
Type: System.Net.Http.HttpRequestException
Message: Connection refused
——————————-
HTTP proxy request encountered exception.
Type: System.Net.Http.HttpRequestException
Message: Connection timed out
Indicates that a request forwarding attempt failed and may manifest as a 5xx response code. A starting point is to investigate application logs to see why the request failed. For example, running extra containers or added load can result in latency due to resource contention.
An error occurred while monitoring the file system: System.IO.InternalBufferOverflowException: Too many changes at once in directory:C:homedata.authtokens.
May occur if your application has too much load; for example, if there are too many writes at a given time. Blob storage can be used instead of file storage to mitigate, trading more reliable storage for more writes. Can also disable token store if not needed.
Failed to download OpenID configuration from ‘***’
Occurs when an HTTP request to the Open ID configuration endpoint fails and may manifest with a 500 response code. This is sometimes transient, as a failed request will trigger another attempt and retries may succeed. If this error is consistently occurring, check that the Open ID endpoint specified in your configuration is correct and accessible from the context of your web app.
Failed to read the ‘AppServiceAuthSession’ cookie for site ‘***’: The signature of the encrypted data is invalid.
——————————-
Failed to read the ‘AppServiceAuthSession’ cookie for site ‘***’: Invalid length for a Base-64 char array or string.
——————————-
Failed to read the ‘AppServiceAuthSession’ cookie for site ‘***’: The input is not a valid Base-64 string as it contains a non-base 64 character, more than two padding characters, or an illegal character among the padding characters.
Indicates a problem with validating or decrypting the session cookie. This may occur if there is an issue with encryption key rotation or the session cookie is malformed and may require logging in again.

Equivalent license to Power Apps Portals, as the latter has expired
Hello,
We have a customer with the following license: Power Apps Portals login capacity add-on Tier 2 (10 unit min) for Faculty, which expired on its renewal date and can no longer be reactivated.
Is there currently a license different from Power Pages that is equivalent to Power Apps Portals so we can activate it for the client?
The problem with Power Pages is that migration from Portals to Pages cannot be done immediately, requiring development hours, so we want to know if there is any license that does not require this extra work.

Copilot for Sales Outlook addin error
I have admin-deployed Copilot for Sales via M365 Intergrated App process. After about a week, we started getting dozens of users with an error message in the sidepane within Outlook. It simply states “We can’t start this add-in because it isn’t set up properly.”
I have tried to compare users who have the issue vs users who don’t have the issue, but they appear to be on the same versions of Outlook (16.0.17531.20152). The addin was deployed on May 9th and issues started coming in around May 20th and I can’t seem to find any rhyme or reason to some users error. What is also confusing is the addin technically “works”, it just constantly is generating that error every time they open a new email
