Hi,

Hope this is the correct forum for a question like this.  If not, please let me know.

Just trying to learn Graph to do some basic Azure user account management.  But right off the bat I’m running into an error I can’t seem to correct.

I connect to Graph using: 

Connect-MgGraph -Scopes “User.ReadWrite.All”

The browser pops up and prompts me for credentials and I enter my global admin credentials.

Then I type:

Get-MgUser -All

 And I get the following message:

Get-MgUser_List: Method not found: ‘System.Net.Http.HttpClient Microsoft.Graph.PowerShell.Authentication.Helpers.HttpHelpers.GetGraphHttpClient(Microsoft.Graph.PowerShell.Authentication.IAuthContext)’.

Odd thing is, yesterday this was working.

This is when trying to run this from Visual Studio Code.  If I run it from the old PowerShell ISE, it works fine.  But I read somewhere that Graph is best run from PowerShell 7, which is what is installed in my Visual Studio Code.

Any thoughts on this?  Am I missing some kind of configuration setup in VSC?

Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

Hi,

will it be possible to use CBA as “filter for devices” some day?

e.g. A Windows Server which is not hybrid joined or managed by Intune could then be identified as a “valid device” which is allowed to access Admin portal.

Like a RADIUS Auth.

As per AWS Guidelines we can force all connections to DB to use SSL & Client doesn’t have to do any work to use SSL. Does it mean that whatever value we pass on to Connection String for following parameters, it’ll still use SSL or we need to be specific about both these parameters?

TrustServerCertificate=true;Encrypt=true

Kindly advice.

In Windows 11, when the Spotlight background feature is enabled, you can access additional information about the picture by right-clicking the Learn about this picture icon. A dialog box will appear with relevant details.

However, if you switch to the classic context menu by modifying the registry settings, right-clicking on Learn about this picture will only display an Open option, similar to double-clicking. This opens a full-screen web page without the convenient shortcuts available in the default pop-up box.

Unfortunately, I could not discover any workaround to reinstate the pop-up functionality while using the classic context menu. If there is a way to achieve this, I may have overlooked it. Let me know if you need further assistance.

Today, when I rebooted my system, a strange issue occurred. Despite running scans that detected no problems, including chkdsk, sfc, and using Avast antivirus, I encountered a glitch where Explorer would not respond. 

After rebooting with diagnostic level boot via msconfig and disabling all programs except Microsoft’s services, Explorer worked fine. However, as I gradually enabled Microsoft services, the issue reappeared. I have repeated this cycle multiple times but haven’t been able to identify the specific service causing the problem.

I am hesitant to perform a clean install as I recently switched from the insider to the public version, and I never experienced this issue while on the insider versions. If anyone has any insights or solutions to this perplexing problem, I would greatly appreciate it. The image attached shows how Explorer appears when all Microsoft services are running, contrasting with the expected minimal appearance when only essential services are active. Thank you in advance for any assistance provided.

Hello,

I’ve been encountering persistent computer issues since transitioning from Windows 10 to a fresh installation of Windows 11. The problems arise in the form of random freezes, gradually locking up all functions. This occurs during various activities like watching videos, gaming, or simply reading. Typically, I use dual monitors with YouTube on one and a game/program on the other.

When the freezing starts, it initiates with windows and spreads to other programs. Although I can still interact in a limited manner, such as pressing buttons that respond but with no new loading, the system essentially becomes unresponsive. Ultimately, I’m forced to restart using the power button, as attempting a reset through Windows is ineffective.

The challenge lies in the lack of identifiable issues or errors in the Windows logbook, suggesting that the OS isn’t detecting the problem. Despite trying various recommended solutions, like driver reinstalls and BIOS adjustments, the freezing persists, leaving me perplexed.

I seek assistance in identifying overlooked or missed details that may be causing these ongoing disruptions. Your insight and guidance would be greatly appreciated. Feel free to request additional information, and my system specs are also accessible on my profile for reference. 

Thank you in advance for any support you can offer.

This morning, I ran into an issue that I thought that someone else out there might run into. If you have a field name for example “SSL2” SharePoint is going to encode that field name with something like “_x0053_SL2″ you can see this name in the end of the URL when you open the list settings, then select that column. However, if you then try to use this field name in an OData filter you will get an error that the column does not exist. I was able to figure out that the field name when you are trying to access that field in the OData filter is “OData__x0053_SL2”. I was able to figure this out by creating a step that called Get Items without a filter then I checked the data that was returned. 

Hope this helps someone!

When booting up my computer, I noticed that there are two accounts with identical usernames. Should one of the accounts be removed? It’s important to determine which account has administrative privileges and which does not. If a user can operate their computer with an administrative account, is there a reason for a non-administrative account to occupy valuable storage and resources?

This all began when I tried to bypass the lock screen on my Windows 11 computer. Following advice from an online source, I pressed the Windows+R keys and entered “netplwiz,” leading to an inadvertent error in the settings that now prevents me from running any programs. Due to the lack of administrator privileges, I am unable to authorize changes and face the frustrating situation of being unable to log in as an admin or modify my account type through the control panel. Being the one who constructed this PC, it is ironic that a seemingly innocuous action has disrupted its functionality after a year of trouble-free operation. In a state of desperation for a solution, this issue has even resulted in damage to one of my monitors.
