Selecting Multiple staff from a list
Hi,
I’ve tried researching this to no avail.
We like to be able to set up a service, say, with 5 other staff members and me.
Customers can then select how many they’d like to book an appointment with. Say only 3 of the 5 in that group, this varies each time.
At the moment, Bookings only seems to allow bookings with the entire staff group, which is not what we want.
Can we do this is Bookings at the current time?

Outlook web for Mobile Site doesn’t offer Sensitivity Labels
I’m curious if anyone else working for a business that uses Sensitivity Labels has noticed that Outlook web for mobile doesn’t support or enforce labelling.
I think it may relate to a recent issue where Outlook mobile app stopped supporting Sensitivity Labels. The issue has now been fixed by Microsoft, but not so for the web version of Outlook on mobile. If I switch to ‘Desktop Site’, the feature returns.
I’ve tried this on Edge for iOS, Edge for Android, Google Chrome & Safari, all give the same result on multiple devices, fully managed or BYOD.

Filter Results by Splitting Values from Output Receiving from Graph API
Hello All,
I am trying to get list of all the users who are having a specific attribute value from AD, this I am doing in PowerApps. Below the code I am using.
ClearCollect(
UserCollection123,
Table(
Office365Groups.HttpRequest(
“https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users?$count=true&$top=999&$filter=extension_extensionAttribute1 eq ‘ABC – 123’&$select=displayName”,
“GET”,
“”
).value
)
)
I am trying to get users who have the attribute value as ABC – 123. This is working fine, and I am getting the list of users. But there are combinations of the attribute for example ABC – 123, DEF – 123, FRT – 123, ABC – 222.
I want to fetch all the users which are having the attribute 123 in the ending. So, this should list out users from ABC – 123, DEF – 123, FRT – 123.
Can anyone please help how to achieve this?
Thanks,
Akshay

Unable to change SharePoint site address
Hello

I am unable to change the site address, getting the message that the site address is already in use, however I can’t find any other site using this address (the sitename has been used before however the old site has been removed several months ago)

Guest user see all users in domain
Hi all,
I have recently extended the usage of Sharepoint in the company.
I have then created a site intended to collaborate with partners who work with us. These are persons which are not part of our company, but who should get access to a common document folder structure to download documents intended to all partners, and also a personal folder to exchange documents only intended to them.
The idea is to create a team with all partners who can access the common area and to provide individual access to the personal area. My idea was to use “Guest accounts” for the partners and to group these guests in a team with our staff for the common section.
After having created a dummy guest account and done some testing, I noticed that any Guest user is also member of the “All users” group. Through his account portal, the guest user gets visibility on the “all users” group that exist in the sharepoint domain (active users, other guest users). It seems impossible to remove a Guest user from the “All user” group. While I understand the technical reason why a guest user is also member of all users, I don’t think that guest users should be able to see all other users.
I now try to understand the purpose and usage of Guest user accounts : clearly I don’t want to show all users to any guest user.
Also what would be the best practice to create a secure and limited environment in Sharepoint for the purpose explained at the beginning ?
Thanks for your help !

Microsoft Causes Fuss Around Azure MFA Announcement
On May 14, Microsoft announced that they will require Azure MFA for connections to services starting in July 2024. No details about the implementation are available, so it’s difficult to measure the likely impact on Microsoft 365 tenants. Given that very few people access services like the Azure portal, it’s probable that the impact will not be large, but it would be nice to hear more precise details from Microsoft.

Cell Referencing not Autofilling Correctly
Hello, I’m having some trouble autofilling some referenced cells from another sheet. I would like to have the column letter continue its sequence but I want the row number to stay the same (ex. a11, b11, c11, etc.). I have inserted a $ symbol before the number so it stays the same, but the letter doesn’t continue its sequence even without the $ symbol in front of it. Here are a couple of screen shots to hopefully help with this problem:
Here is what my formula looks like before I drag it down to autofill it.
Here is what it looks like after I drag it down:
The formula just stays the same for each cell. The letter doesn’t change and the number stays the same (=TPT!TX$11). I would like it to continue like this: (=TPT!TU$11, =TPT!TV$11, =TPT!TW$11, etc.). I can manually change each cell, but it can be very tedious. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Lesson Learned #489:Investigating CPU Spikes with Query Store Overall Resource Consumption Report
Yesterday, I worked on a customer who experienced a CPU spike that went 90% during the timeframe of 19:00 to 21:00. I would like to share how we identified the queries that potentially caused this CPU spike using the Query Store’s Overall Resource Consumption report.
First, we accessed the Query Store feature in SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS). Query Store provides detailed insights into query performance and resource consumption, making it an invaluable tool for troubleshooting performance issues.
We configured the report to display key metrics that could indicate the cause of the CPU spike. Specifically, we selected:
Execution Count: To see how frequently queries were executed.
CPU Time: To identify queries consuming significant CPU resources.
Degree of Parallelism (DOP): To check if high parallelism might be contributing to the CPU load.
Upon analyzing the report, we observed that there was indeed a significant CPU spike during the 19:00 to 21:00 window. The execution count and DOP also showed notable increases during this period.
With the list of potential culprit queries, we proceeded to:
Review the execution plans to identify inefficiencies.
Check for missing or outdated indexes.
Analyze the query logic for potential optimizations.
Consider adjusting the DOP for heavily parallelized queries.
By systematically using Query Store’s Overall Resource Consumption report, we were able to pinpoint and analyze the queries causing the high CPU usage. This approach not only helps in resolving the immediate issue but also aids in proactive performance tuning to prevent future occurrences.
Enjoy!

Error Code during login with Azure Student Account
Hello! I’m having trouble login-in to my student account with Azure. The website gave me an error code to troubleshoot the page but when I tried submitting a ticket through Azure the website would continue to reload and eventually tell me I’m unable to sign into my account. This is the link I was issued by my professor https://azureforeducation.microsoft.com/devtools. The link attached did work before. Here is also the error code given by the website:

Sending email through Outlook smtp using third party app – it is permissible?
I want to send router and backup alerts via email and I have configured the backup and router software to send the alerts via the Outlook smtp. I know it works as I successfully tested it. However after a few hours the account has been frozen for violating acceptable use regarding spamming. Is prohibited to do this? It is certainly technically possible to do it as I have done it and it works. I had to supply my mobile to get a code to unlock the account. Will that satisfy Microsoft that I am not using the account for spamming? I cannot find a definitive statement of whether it is allowed to do what I am doing. To be on the safe side I have disabled the alerts until I know. If this is going to keep on happening and I risk a ban then I will have to find another solution. Thanks for any assistance

Regenerate a PDF file with a PDF printer
Hello.
We have issues with PDF files which need to be re-generated, using the “microsoft print to PDF” printer fixed issues that we have.
How can I code that in C#? I have tried heaps of codes, nothing worked.
I have tried this :
try
{
ProcessStartInfo info = new ProcessStartInfo
{
FileName = filePath,
Verb = “PrintTo”,
Arguments = “”” + outputFilePath + “” “Microsoft Print to PDF””,
CreateNoWindow = true,
WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden
};
using (Process p = new Process())
{
p.StartInfo = info;
p.Start();
p.WaitForExit();
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
}
but it’s not adapter for Windows, or even :
try
{
PrintDocument pd = new PrintDocument();
ProcessStartInfo info = new ProcessStartInfo(filePath);
info.Verb = “Print”;
pd.PrinterSettings.PrintToFile = true;
pd.PrinterSettings.PrinterName = “Microsoft Print to PDF”;
pd.PrinterSettings.PrintFileName = outputFilePath;
pd.Print();
info.CreateNoWindow = true;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);

which generates empty files…
