I would like to identify companies that leverage all of the features that 365 offers
After working at several startups, I have reached a point where I can no longer work in environments that do not leverage the amazing features of the Microsoft 365 platform for collaboration among all employees.
I am currently running a one-man shop and thoroughly enjoy using almost all the services that Microsoft 365 offers. Granted I a have been working as the administrator and do not have complex setups, but I do see the power of 365 and I am a big believer in the One Drive / Sharepoint framework progress. What I am looking for is a company that already has the practices in place for 365 and would like to see if anyone has recommendations for companies. My concern is joining a new job and being presented with a disjointed set of productivity tools instead of using streamlined solutions like Slack.
Is there an award ceremony or a list of companies that are consistently recognized as the most efficient users of Microsoft 365?
I would rather not settle for companies that use Slack, Airtable, or Monday.com when Microsoft’s tools already have better tools for seamless collaboration.

How Can I Create Bootable USB for Mac OS X Mountain Lion?
My dad’s old iMac 2007 was broken and replaced with a new hard drive. This Mac comes with Mac OS X Mountain Lion when it was shipped. How can I create a bootable Mountain Lion USB on a Windows PC so I can reinstall OS X Mountain Lion on this Mac.
Here are the steps I’ve taken so far:
Downloaded the Mac OS X Mountain Lion installer from the Mac App Store.Prepared a USB drive (at least 8GB) and formatted it using Disk Utility with Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format.Tried using the terminal command ‘createinstallmedia’ but it seems to be unsupported for Mountain Lion.
I would appreciate detailed steps or any tools you recommend for creating a Mac OS X bootable USB drive on a Windows PC or Mac.

Hi
I’m just starting out in SharePoint admin. I am after a way of being able to track down who has their OneDrive accounts directly linked or are sync’ing with Document Library folders on SharePoint sites. Ideally I need a global report as I work for a school and we have lots of different departments.

Seeking Help: How to convert YouTube to MP3 on Windows 11?
Hello everyone,
I’ve been on a quest to curate my perfect offline playlist, and I’ve found some fantastic tunes on YouTube that I’d love to listen to on the go. The catch? I’m running Windows 11 and could use some guidance on the easiest and most reliable ways to convert these videos into crisp, high-quality MP3s.
Question Time:
Are there any fellow Windows 11 users out there who have mastered the art of turning those YouTube music videos into MP3 files? I’m looking for software recommendations or perhaps some web-based solutions that work seamlessly with my OS. Ideally, something user-friendly, safe, and won’t compromise the audio quality.

Mail Flow Loop prevention
We are setting up an environment where we have a shared smtp between 2 exchange organization for migration.
So on each organization we’ll configure a send connector for the SMTP domain.com ( internal relay )
To prevent a mail loop for non existent recipient I think a mail flow rule must be created, and I saw some articles that I couldn’t find anymore, to check for the X-headers.
Can anyone help me providing some examples ?
thanks

Looking for a best practice for using Active Directory sync users to M365 without Exchange Server
Dear Exchange Team
I’m looking for a best practice for my organization about using both Active Directory and M365
We have a Domain Controller on-premise installed Azure AD Connector to sync all accounts on-premise to M365.
Besides, we have an Exchange Server 2013 installed Hybrid Configuration Wizard (HCW) to migrate all mailboxes from on-premise to Exchange Online. This is complete.
For now, I would like to decommission the Exchange 2013 completely. As current I have to maintain the Exchange Server with 1.5 TB its database, this is a waste of resource and it’s a lot of effort to maintain both environments like that.
I’m still using Active Directory to synchronize users to M365 and then creating mailboxes for them in M365. However, after reading many articles on the subject, I still haven’t found a way to create on-premises accounts for new employees, synchronize those accounts to M365, and then create mailboxes for them from Exchange Online.
Is there a solution for this case?
Thank in advanced!

How can I download audio from Youtube? Any good youtube audio downloader for PC?
As a music enthusiast who often needs audio clips for personal projects, I find myself frequently turning to YouTube for its vast collection of content. However, downloading audio directly from YouTube can be tricky task in 2024, especially on a Windows PC.

iOS MS Edge URLAllowlist configuration
Hi, I’ve spent many hours to try a lot of ways to allow only 2 URLs on Intune Managed iPads without success. Here is the working Managed Device App Policy : https://i.imgur.com/J4JkW3B.png (every key work). I want to add 2 websites allowed and every others blocked. I read I could do this with the URLAllowlist configuration key without using the URLBlocklist key. Here is what I try in the configuration value (tried with * and www and does not work) :
<array> <string> https://*.google.com </string> <string> https://*.yahoo.com </string> <string> edge://* </string> </array> (saw this in a reddit post)
<array> <string> https://*.google.com </string> <string> https://*.yahoo.com </string </array> (saw this on official MS docs)
https://*.google.com | https://*.yahoo.com
I also try a Managed App Configuration policy instead of a Managed Device one. Here is the configuration (which does not work at all) : https://i.imgur.com/k3Osjty.png I’m running out of ideas on how to do this, even though it seems basic. I didn’t think I would have trouble doing this specific config as the auto refresh kiosk mode was not too hard to set up. If someone have a clue I would be very grateful. Sorry for my english as it is not my native language.

Security Baseline Version 23H2, greenfield deployment
Hi,
Is there a best practice to start rolling out the Microsoft security baseline. I am in a Greenfield situation where I would like to use this baseline as a starting point. This by first adjusting the baseline by removing what I think might be causing issues for the user. There are a lot of settings in this baseline so I am sure some of them will causes issues for users. Since you simply can’t disable the policy and all settings will be reverted what is the best practice around this?
Make a copy of the existing baseline adjust settings and re-apply the correct settings?
I read that Intune is tattooing some settings an the only way to reverse is to wipe and re-deploy, or manually fix in registry.
Any advice on this, maybe not use the baseline and built template gradually.

XML data to Table using Power Query
I have a query to get XML web contents which I would like to use in a table in my worksheets. I’ve managed to filter out all the unneeded and unnecessary data from the resultset, but I don’t know how to convert the current data I have into an actual table.
This is my current query, which returns the dataset below.
let
BaseLink = “https://web-api.tp.entsoe.eu/api?securityToken=SECURITY_TOKEN”,
QueryParamDocType = “&documentType=A44”,
QueryParamProcessType = “&processType=A62”,

Source = Xml.Document(Web.Contents(
BaseLink &
QueryParamDocType &
QueryParamProcessType &
QueryParamRegion &
QueryParamStartTime &
QueryParamEndTime)),
#”Removed Columns” = Table.RemoveColumns(Source,{“Name”, “Namespace”, “Attributes”}),
#”Expanded Value” = Table.ExpandTableColumn(#”Removed Columns”, “Value”, {“Value”}, {“Value.Value”}),
#”Removed Top Rows” = Table.Skip(#”Expanded Value”,8),

#”Removed Alternate Rows2″ = Table.AlternateRows(#”Expanded Value.Value.Value.Value”,1,1,49)
in
#”Removed Alternate Rows2″
(Not worrying about the column names right now, I will fix those once I’ve got everything in a table)
There’s a start record every 49 rows and in between those are 24 rows with position, which indicate the hour of the day and 24 rows with price.amount, which has the value I need for calculating the hourly prices.
I’d like to have a table that looks somewhat akin to this:
StartPositionPrice.Amount2024-05-31T22:00167.862024-05-31T22:00267.77……
This Query is somewhat dynamic. I want to be able to retreive data from different dates, without having to do a lot of work in dissecting a table.
