Hello,

i’ve currently got 2 lists : 

list 1 is a catalog of toolslist 2 is a the tracking of orders from the catalog

my aim is to declare that there has been an order in the the catalog (list 1) by putting a “Y” in a column and then running a macro that will add the new lines into the list 2 without deleting the old ones and the sorting by “internal ref”

both lists are in the same work book just different pages 

My main question is how can i update list 2 with out deleting the lines currently present, nor creating duplicates ?

i was thinking about going ahead this way :

1 – fetch last line of list 2

2 – copy/paste or advanced filter to fetch all the orders

3 – sort by internal ref

but that doesn’t solve the duplicate error … maybe it could be done with an “if”  or ticking “unique records only” in the advanced filter?

if this option was to complicated i was thinking of a “place order” form that would update list 1 and then add the affected lines to list 2 … the form would need to be able to place multiple orders at once

list 1 looks like this :

Tool nametool versionInternal refTool priceOdered by XOrdered by YZTool 1ATool 1_ind A99  Tool 1BTool 1_ind B56 YTool 1CTool 1_ind C7Y Tool 2ATool 2_ind A456YYtool 3Atool 3_ind A456YYTool 4ATool 4_ind A46Y                         

List 2 looks like (once filtered by internal ref):

Hi everyone,

Recently, during the development process with the HoloLens 2, I encountered an issue where the device failed to boot properly. I attempted to restart the device several times, but the problem persisted.

While charging, One light fading in and out as mentioning in(https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/hololens/hololens2-setup#lights-that-indicate-the-battery-level), followed by the startup sound playing repeatedly, and the device not functioning normally.

According to the documents, light to indicate problem, I judge the device battery might be very low, but after trying to plug in, and to charge the device, it seems not working.

Is there anything else I could try to get it working again?
Thank you kindly in advance for any suggestions.

Entra ID federation with Google Workspace

Google Workspace federation allows you to manage user identities in your Entra ID tenants while authenticating these users through Google. This can be beneficial if your company wants to use a single source of identities across different cloud platforms.

This article covers the scenario where your domain is already added and verified in Entra ID.

Requirements

To use Google Workspace federation, you need to ensure that your federated users are created in the Entra ID directory. This can be done through various methods such as auto-provisioning or using the Graph API.

Keep in mind, that the out-of-the box federation for Google only works for gmail.com personal accounts. In order to federate with work accounts managed in Google Workspace, you have to configure SAML IDP federation. 

Configuring SAML Federation on Google Workspace side

To configure SAML federation in Google Workspace, follow these steps: 

1. Create a Web Application in Google Admin Panel:

Navigate to https://admin.google.com/
Go to Apps -> Web and mobile apps
Click Add app -> Search for apps
Search for “Microsoft Office 365” and install it.

2. Download Metadata:

After installing the app, go to the app details and download the metadata.
Save the IdP metadata file (GoogleIDPMetadata.xml) as it will be used to set up Microsoft Entra ID later.

3. Enable Auto-Provisioning:

Enable auto-provisioning inside the “Microsoft Office 365” app.

4. Configure Service Provider Details:

On the Service Provider details page:

Select the option Signed response.
Verify that the Name ID format is set to PERSISTENT.
Under SAML attribute mapping, select Basic Information and map Primary email to IDPEmail.

5. Enable the App for Users in Google Workspace:

Go to Apps -> Web and mobile apps -> Microsoft Office 365 -> User access.
Select ON for everyone and save the changes.

Adding Federation for SAML Provider in Entra ID

Using the IdP metadata XML file downloaded from Google Workspace, modify the $DomainName variable in the following script to match your environment, and then run it in a PowerShell session:

Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser -Force
Install-Module Microsoft.Graph -Scope CurrentUser
Import-Module Microsoft.Graph

$domainId = “<your domain name>”

$xml = [Xml](Get-Content GoogleIDPMetadata.xml)

$cert = -join $xml.EntityDescriptor.IDPSSODescriptor.KeyDescriptor.KeyInfo.X509Data.X509Certificate.Split()
$issuerUri = $xml.EntityDescriptor.entityID
$signinUri = $xml.EntityDescriptor.IDPSSODescriptor.SingleSignOnService | ? { $_.Binding.Contains(‘Redirect’) } | % { $_.Location }
$signoutUri = “https://accounts.google.com/logout”
$displayName = “Google Workspace Identity”
Connect-MGGraph -Scopes “Domain.ReadWrite.All”, “Directory.AccessAsUser.All”

$domainAuthParams = @{
DomainId = $domainId
IssuerUri = $issuerUri
DisplayName = $displayName
ActiveSignInUri = $signinUri
PassiveSignInUri = $signinUri
SignOutUri = $signoutUri
SigningCertificate = $cert
PreferredAuthenticationProtocol = “saml”
federatedIdpMfaBehavior = “acceptIfMfaDoneByFederatedIdp”
}

New-MgDomainFederationConfiguration @domainAuthParams

To verify that the configuration is correct, you can use the following PowerShell command:

Get-MgDomainFederationConfiguration -DomainId $domainId |fl

Test the federation

To test the federation, navigate to https://portal.azure.com and sign in with a Google Workspace account:

As username, use the email as defined in Google Workspace. The user is redirected to Google Workspace to sign in. 
After Google Workspace authentication, the user is redirected back to Microsoft Entra ID and signed in.

Troubleshooting

If you configured federation after users were created in Entra ID, it is possible that users will get an error AADSTS51004

AADSTS51004: The user account XXX does not exist in the YYY directory. To sign into this application, the account must be added to the directory.

This error is most likely caused by property ImmutableId being incorrect. 

For Google Workspace federation ImmutableId has to be set as a primary email adress of the user. 

Follow these steps to update the ImmutableID:

Convert the federated user to a cloud-only user (update the UPN to a non-federated domain)
Update the ImmutableId
Convert the user back to a federated user

Here’s a PowerShell example to update the ImmutableId for a federated user:

Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser -Force
Install-Module Microsoft.Graph -Scope CurrentUser
Import-Module Microsoft.Graph
Connect-MgGraph -Scopes ‘User.Read.All’, ‘User.ReadWrite.All’

#1. Convert the user from federated to cloud-only
Update-MgUser -UserId test@example.com -UserPrincipalName test@example.onmicrosoft.com

#2. Convert the user back to federated, while setting the immutableId
Update-MgUser -UserId test@example.onmicrosoft.com -UserPrincipalName test@example.com -OnPremisesImmutableId ‘test@example.com’

Conclusion

In summary, Entra ID federation with Google Workspace allows seamless user identity management and authentication across different cloud platforms.

Hi

Server: 2022 Std, 21H2 20348.2700

Clean build and activated

WAC MSI version 2311

When I try to install WAC I get a message : Unhandled Exception – System.Security.Cryptography.CrypographicException – Access is denied (see screen shot)

I am logged on as a user who is a member of the local administrator group and also Domain Admins.

The installation fails and roles back, any ideas as to what I can do?

Thanks

Ian

Hi,

I`m tidying up old users from our tenant and have noticed lots of old users without exchange licenses still have mailboxes active. I thought these were soft deleted after 30 days. 

We want to keep the user in our domain without a mailbox so that the user in Atlassian doesn`t become an unknown users. The user is blocked from sign in and doesn`t have any licenses attached. 

Any ideas on why the mailbox is still there?

Thanks

James

Hi community experts,

My 10-year old MacBook Pro will be retired soon as it becomes laggy and many apps are not supported. Recently, I heard a lot of good reviews about Windows 11 and now I have the new built PC at my hand. The specs are:

CPU: Intel i5 12400FRAM: Kingston 16GBSSD: SANDISK 500GBMotherboard: Asus A520MGraphics card: 4070Ti

My question is how to create Windows 11 installation media so I can install Windows 11 on my new PC. I am not a tech savvy and don’t know how to do this. It could be great if some one point our the right direction.

Thank you

Hi All –

When I got my new computer a bit over a year ago, I ordered it with Windows 11 Pro. It worked pretty well, but I had one complaint: No matter what I did in folder options, every time I opened a folder in the main pane of File Explorer, the navigation pane on the left would automatically expand the drive folders to show the same thing that was going on in the right main pane.

Then, to my amazement, I eventually got a Windows Update, and then it did not automatically expand. Now, in the last few days, it has gone back to automatically expanding again, and it is interrupting my workflow. Is there some way to keep the auto expansion from happening? I have the box checked in folder options to not automatically expand. I can, of course, click the arrow to go back to unexpanded, but it is a pain as I work in file explorer a lot.

Thanks.
