Outlook Calendar time
Hello!
I want to change the short and long time appointments in Outlook Calendar for a user, shorten it by 5 and 10 minutes.
The computer is mdm connected.
I followed this guide linked in this = Manage Outlook Settings via Microsoft Intune – Microsoft Community Hub
I did the same thing in Intune and the profile succeeds, but the time isn’t changed.
The user has a Business premium license, do i need a Enterprise license for this?
Thanks for any help!

Permanent migration to New Teams
Hello,
I would like to move all organisation to the New Teams. According to this article:
i need to assign the policy one-by-one what is ridiculous. To many People to add. The solution would be to add one group which contains all people.
Is there any default name of the group which contains all people in my organisation?
If I need to create manual such a group, then add people – we are going back to the beginning – have to add one-by-one.
Second question, I did some test with one user. I created a policy which contains
– Show Teams preview features: On for everyone
– Use new Teams client: New Teams only
Nevertheless the user can still launch the “old” Teams and successfully log in to it. Therefore the question is how works this policy? Or can I somewhere in Teams Admin Center remove “old” Teams ?

Secure Score / 2FA on sharedmailbox
Good morning, everybody.
I am responsible for maintaining a SecureScore at a fairly high level in an organization.
The recommended actions include “Verify that MultiFactor Authentication is enabled for all users” and this one concerns me.
For about a year and a half, conditional access has been put in place to ensure that no account is forgotten. It‘s all working fine.
Problem, the recommended action in the SecureScore reports that only 256 users out of 317 have MFA enabled. As I dig deeper, I realize that among those 317 users, there are the shared boxes, resource calendars (room and equipment), and guest users that are included.
Since 2FA cannot be set up on a resource calendar or on a shared mailbox, how can I make sure that these are not included in the list?
Would it be possible to add a feature to have the ability to exclude certain types of accounts from the Secure Score calculation, or to change the calculation directly?

Query for user or users in Exchange online
I have a slightly different version of this posted elsewhere. Can I, in Exchange online, run a query that will for example:
1. Give me all users with a specific company name-i.e. all users where company name matches xxx
2. Give me all users where company name matches xxx OR state=ny
I’m looking to construct some lists but it would be very helpful to just pull back, throw some queries out, get results and then fine tune from there. I don’t see (or haven’t used the right terms) a way to do this from online KB articles

Linux Enrollment
I’m looking to start enrolling some Linux machines into our tenant and after going through the documentation about this, it specifies Ubuntu, would it be possible to use a downstream build like Pop?
Additionally, the GNOME requirement seems a bit strange to me? Is there a specific function within GNOME that I could pull into another desktop environment like KDE so that the environment is very similar to what my users are used to, as most of them don’t have much experience with Linux and DE’s not like Windows.

SUP Office 2019 products
Our Primary server does not have internet access, we manage our SUP by synchronising from a shared SUS server that has internet access and already has the M365Office 2019 product enabled and can see the updates in the SUS Server catalogue.
We need to sync and patch office 2019, however when we enable the product on our primary server the sync takes hours and fails due “Failed to download file- “http://officecdn.microsoft.com/****” from internet. Using proxyserver – 1. Error = 12029″.
How can we get around this issue, when we can not allow the primary server to access OfficeCDN?

How to download videos from X Twitter on a PC?
I found three funny video clips on X (Twitter.com). Can I download those X videos on my Windows 11 PC? I tried a few online tools but they did not work. I’m kinda stuck on the best way to do it. Anyone know a straightforward tool or method that works well for this? Just looking to download some X clips for offline viewing.
Thank you

Using Entra ID Support for Passkey Authentication with Microsoft 365
Entra ID supports passkeys as an authentication method. In fact, support is a variation of the existing FIDO2 authentication method using device-bound passkeys managed by the Microsoft Authenticator app. Passkeys are a strong phishing-proof authentication method. The question is whether the current implementation will be considered too complicated by regular users.

Azure build pipeline with 0 code coverage always
Hi, so i have this classic build pipeline with the below tasks:
NugetRestore
Prepare Analysis on sonarqube
Build Solution with visual studio build
Visual studio test
Run code analysis
Publish Quality gate result
Copy files
Publish Artifact
My test tasks creates the code coverage file, my code analysis takes and converts it to xml. The issue is it stopped seeing the code covered.
It always 0 in the summary tab and if you click on code coverage tab it says : Code coverage report cannot be rendered as report HTML was not found. Please verify that “Report Directory” containing an HTML report was specified when publishing code coverage.
the thing is nothing changed from our end but i saw multiple pipelines with the same issue.
i cannot seem to find a resolution for this.
the tests run with vstest for whic Microsoft says you dont need a separate Publish code coverage result task.

Display start and end of tasks
Hello,
If anyone can help, I have a table of tasks and a row showing days, and below that row are rows with the completion of tasks, which is marked with an “x”. How to display information in column “B” with start day and in column “C” with end day for the given task.
As an example, I am attaching a photo in which the columns in which I want to extract the information with formulas are marked in yellow, and I have given the manually entered data for the first two tasks as an example.
Thanks!
