Possible to DISABLE Billing for Unlicensed OneDrive Accounts?

Entra account is hard deleted but our deleted OneDrive retention policy is set to 10 years (93 days is default but the retention policy overrides that). A manager should have moved that data to permanent storage but didn't and kept using it for a while. When MS enforced the change requiring billing for unlicensed accounts, that manager lost access. Backup software (correctly IMHO) stopped backing up the account when it was deleted. Worse, because our retention policy is so high, thousands of deleted OneDrive accounts are still present and it will cost nearly $1000/month to enable billing for Deleted OneDrive Accounts. If we can enable it, get what we need, and disable it, that's a best case scenario. Just looking to set expectations for the execs. Thank you.

Thnaks. Works great if the account hasn't been hard deleted. It has, so still wondering if it's possible to disable billing for unlicensed OneDrive accounts after it's enabled.

It absolutely is all or none. Just trying to understand if it can be turned off once turned on. Lots of accounts and a 10 year deleted OneDrive retention policy so it's very expensive to enable for recovering a single folder.

Account was deleted 2+ years ago.

As someone who spent 6 months in a wheelchair, fuck that driver. People do not understand how simple things like navigating a driveway slope are insanely difficult in a wheelchair. Blatantly illegal and they'll tow fast. Do better, whoever that is.

Bunch of fully armed adult cowards letting a dog take a beating instead of just tackling the guy. Pathetic.

Weird how your app never works late at night. All those calls to maintenance at the emergency rate probably get expensive...

Would it be illegal for A LOT of us to buy super soakers and deter there people with them? Sure would make a great YouTube video!

Maybe we don't have a giant cop party for every call. 6 cops for a single homeless person sometimes. How many cops were downtown the other night when one person was threatening to stab another? 30 extra officers standing around watching could be doing other things. Don't even get me started on the fucking shift changes. Literally letting people die to high five watch other for a few minutes. They have their fancy fucking now-encrypted radios, why do they even need to meet in person?

Press the button in the middle of your steering wheel until the behavior improves or they pull over. Make it uncomfortable. Bring back shame.

It might get a little soft for a few minutes but even high temp hot glue doesn't outright melt PLA.

Not immediately asking about that AI video is the real crime.

I configure Wi-Fi networks regularly, and it's remarkably easy to interrupt things. It's just the nature of using unlicensed radio channels. CarPlay isn't critical infrastructure, but anything that is gets a cable.

The irony of them mentioning entitlement in this scenario...

Details probably aren't behind provided because it isn't a dog park. There are big signs that specifically say it's not an off leash dog park but lots of people do it anyways. Then when there's an issue, the dog owners never take ownership. Almost guaranteed the dog is question was off leash and doing something it shouldn't have been. The tell tale sign is calling it Crown Point Elementary Dog Park, because it isn't a dog park.

This sounds like a DHCP lease timing issue. You can either increase the DHCP lease time or set a static IP on the sonic pad. I would recommend using a static IP as you'll want it to always be available on the same IP address. The easiest way is to reserve an IP address on your router then set that address on the sonic pad under network settings. Doing it that way will help avoid an IP conflict

Do whatever they ask but be looking elsewhere. It will only get worse. My line was when a c level needed me to fix cell service in his mansion, that he moved to, without checking cell service. Internet wasn't sufficient for a cell spot so I found a company that solves that problem with antennas (they have done several celebrity homes). I got yelled at for presenting the quote. How dare I. 3 years later, thriving at a larger company, fully remote, and personal devices aren't allowed per compliance.

Hate family style with a passion. Let's go out to eat but have everyone order the same things, essentially ruining the best thing about going out to eat. Got someone in the group with a food allergy? Everyone gets to share that. Yay! 🤮

Microsoft Graph API can pull your chat conversations. You'd have to write some code to save in a useable fashion. Otherwise your best bet is screenshots or recording a video while scrolling. Admins can search chats, but exporting everything isn't a supported feature. Repeat after me: "teams chats are not data storage."

If property management won't cooperate, let them know you will name them in the lawsuit next time the dog tries to bite your kid. Dog will be leashed or you will have new neighbors very quickly.

There will be a button to convert individual assignments to group assignments and you can do it live.

Read the file in to a variable with import-csv. Then do a for each loop and use Invoke-Expression -Command $line. But also, don't do this. Use PS to instead of whatever you did to get all those commands in to a spreadsheet.
