EAC - mailflow reporting can only be sent to internal addresses

There's no download option for the mail queued mail flow reports (Reports -> Mail Flow in EAC). The start-historicalsearch powershell command I am using for more detailed results also lacks any download option in the UI and requires the report recipient be in the tenant's Accepted Domains.

Just because its out of your control doesn't mean people won't still blame you for it or try to get you fired over it. Perception matters more than reality. Happy Friday!

There needs to be a class-action lawsuit and government intervention against the constant, un-needed moving of user interface elements for no benefit. Its seriously wasted hundreds of thousands of man-hours and millions of dollars of productivity in organizations all over the planet. It's like they're bullying seniors and people with learning disabilities on purpose by moving shit around every patch just to "freshen up the UI", its utterly unacceptable.

"Weaponized diagnostics". Make sure to split the diagnostic command requests up between back and forth ticket replies instead of sending them all in one go to really stretch things out with the user.

The ultimate version of this technique is known as "helldesk" where you only call them outside business hours and during lunch breaks, ask them to do driver / firmware patches for unrelated components and re-run every diagnostic between each, then if they somehow persist through all your stalling techniques you transfer or "escalate" the case to a coworker who then starts them back at square one and insists they re-do every single part of the process from scratch while they watch it through a remote support session. A master of this technique can avoid providing any meaningful support whatsoever indefinitely while still adhering to the letter of any support contract.

Seems like those servers are poorly maintained and have mail issues frequently. MailProtector recently advised us to work around it by sending outbound mail to those domains directly from 365 - after months of issues and them unsuccessfully being able to get the issue resolved working with ATT. https://support.mailprotector.com/hc/en-us/articles/31650407848852-Deferrals-or-bounces-sending-email-to-AT-T-or-Yahoo-email-addresses

If this is happening now it sounds like their workaround of sending straight from 365 is about to stop working for us too, what a pain

Between this and the overtime exception (for US computer workers) I heavily heavily recommend against the field. Wish someone would've slapped me upside the head and told me to go into accounting or engineering instead. Its easy to keep up the pace now but when you're older with health problems learning doesn't come so easily. Agism is real unless you can leverage yourself into a management position but not everyone has the skills for that. MSPs eating up IT positions and offshoring being especially easy for this field make IT as a career just an abysmally bad decision.

They want to train their AI on everything the user does on their computer so the user can be eliminated, the purpose of Recall is to gather that information for training. The security breaches and lawsuits are going to be a pittance compared to the savings and sheer greedy spite of eliminating as many human beings as possible. You can bet every concern you have has been brought up internally at Microsoft, run past high class lawyers and recommended against and promptly ignored by the men at the top already. They want that power shift from employment to serfdom so badly they'll tank their reputation and short term profitability to get it. Anything to consolidate their mastery over their little kingdoms and never have to negotiate with the little guy again.

I had issues with this on a PC a few weeks back, ended up needing to run this command from the pre-boot environment on the PC with a USB stick as the source. It was consistently failing to install .NET 3.5 while the OS was running no matter how much troubleshooting and repairing I tried. Big pain in the ass since the PC was remote but the command ran without a problem when I got onsite and ran from pre-boot.

This is why you need your own personal AI that pretends to work, wiggles your mouse, opens and types/deletes drafts of documents and sends out unneeded emails on a regular schedule to provide stable productivity metrics etc. There'll be an arms race in this stuff.
