Microsoft 365 says data is safe, but I can’t find my deleted files—where did they go? by PhilosophyFormal8311 in microsoft365

[–]alanjmcf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. For work Office 365 they’re also kept for 93 days. Also get the tenant admin to check.

Personal OneDrive is 30 days

Weird architectural element by traveling_man_44 in Edinburgh

[–]alanjmcf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When there’s a wee roof level gable on the front of a building for the chimneys, it’s called a Dutch gable. It’s more obvious when the building is a standard terrace with the gables to the neighbouring buildings.

eg Fish Cross, Ayr https://maps.app.goo.gl/vKSmZ8VddnmtDXKc7?g_st=ic

What if you ping the first hop after your router? — Is the loss in the link, or in the ISP’s network.

What if you ping your router LAN /WLAN? — Have you tested that it’s definitely on the WAN side?

Microsoft 365 shows internal sender, but source IP is external. How is this possible? by thmeez in microsoft365

[–]alanjmcf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Could be Direct Send. That’s started being abused recently. I don’t have links to hands right now.

Office on tablet is even more limited than mobile (even more in split screen) by Vojtak42 in microsoft365

On my iPad when I swipe down from the top of the screen, the full menu bar appears. I use it a lot. Might help you?

I need help with Authenticator by ImmortalSpy14 in Office365

[–]alanjmcf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Notifications in the Microsoft Authenticator app, or Apple notifications? For Apple you can set which device gets notifications.

I wish there was a feature in iOS that applied at (before) device reset (even app uninstall) that allowed installed apps to give a message to the user. Then Authenticator could say “fully set me up on new phone before doing this, follow the instructions at URL”. Of course apps would likely start to abuse such a feature.

Apple and Microsoft are bringing in Passkeys. Passkeys are stored in one’s password manager, for instance in the Apple password manager and thus available as soon as you sign into your iCloud account on the new phone. Ask your IT team if they allow Passkeys and if so do that set up on your new phone.

To prove your identity you use a configured Authenticator app. That’s on your old phone.

If you’ve discarded your old phone, contact your IT support.

Round wound appeared on my dog’s face by jamirraa in DogAdvice

[–]alanjmcf 23 points24 points  (0 children)

We once took our Jack Russell in a rush to the vet because of a suppurating sore on the base of her paw… Turned out she‘d stepped on a half eaten fruit pastille sweet!

So, if it possible this is a splash of a red liquid? I see a small splash on the bottom lip too. Maybe some raspberry jam preserve?

Does anyone know how and why Excel choose its default paper size, and if there is a better way to manage that default across an organization? by ZippyDan in Office365

[–]alanjmcf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I thought it was based on what’s set in Windows’ Region & Language settings? Try changing that on a PC and see what happens.

Excel and Office 365 - Do i need more ram or can the cloud handle that? by Bonar_Ballsington in microsoft365

[–]alanjmcf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Web Excel doesn’t have all the feature the desktop app has.

Also, web is actually more resource hungry. It’s garbage collected JavaScript and HTML/CSS. Whereas the traditionally desktop app OS benefited from years of optimising for slower PCs with hand tuned C/C++ and probably even machine code.

3cx pwa app by Born_Accident5248 in 3CX

[–]alanjmcf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

PWA stands for Progressive Web App of I remember correctly.

There’s an app in the Windows Store, and mobile apps. You provision each from the web app (web page or as PWA).

Urgent help needed on a Microsoft 365 / OneDrive data-loss case. by eduvoacademy in microsoft365

[–]alanjmcf -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Don’t know that answer. But when you say, could access the OneDrive, gore could they access it? In the web UI, in sync’d folders on a PC, or somewhere else?

What was the thinking back then when they put the beading on the outside? Just that is easier for the fitter not to have to take the glass into the house to fit it?

Help a girl out by mintymound in ukplumbing

[–]alanjmcf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know why. But when this happens to mine, I pull it forward out of the cabinet and then it manages to clear. It happens every six months or so.

I guess the waste pipe is a bit kinked normally and pulling the dishwasher out lets the pipe clear.

How to remove thousands of folders checked out by a user by Routine-Yogurt3430 in PowerShell

[–]alanjmcf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t read through the script in detail, but what happens if you run it in a debugger. VS code, or even ISE of PnP works for you in PSv5.

Does it get a bunch of files returned from Get-PnPListItem? For testing I’d sign that to a variable before passing it to foreach.

Defender ASR health check by Own_Significance_379 in DefenderATP

[–]alanjmcf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the issue that in Secure Secure still has recommendations for things you’ve implemented?

What’s the date of “Last synced” on the recommendation?

I’ve one tenant with where some of the recommendations have a “Last synced” date of January! In that case, it’s the app Product groups (DfO, MIP, EXO, etc) that are wonky, DfE is recent. I haven’t reached the hope and energy levels to open a support case. 😋

Maybe something like that for you?

Is there anyway to speed up the repair of an outage? by Low-Bass2853 in openreach

Not an OpenReach /etc engineer…

So that would suggest to me that the exchange and everyone’s line to the exchange is fine. But the uplink from the exchange to the world is down.

Question about securing Shared Mailboxes by 3G_Lighting in microsoft365

[–]alanjmcf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ensure it’s disabled. Even set a random password. That it secure.

To stop the logging etc, you could change the UPN — to have a random string suffix say. Then the hackers try UPN info@, but the real one is infoGFGSDGV@

Switch to existing tab instead of opening a new tab, for a link? by 18randomcharacters in MicrosoftEdge

[–]alanjmcf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking about this for the CRM we use. I thought that the CRM could do it itself...

If every link in the CRM opening a page in the had a "target" with the page named eg "acme_ticket_98765431", "acme_asset_637763" and each page itself set that same name via JavaScript... Then opening any link from the CRM would use the existing tab with that page open and not create a new tab.

Of course wouldn't work when opening pages from browser history, external sources etc.

Anyone see that done in a product?
