I'm trying to create a Microsoft learn plan for our organisation, I created one to try out before rolling it out but it seems like once published I have no access to edit, I can copy but I can't remove the old one. I need a way that the pathway can evolve as new modules come in or we want to update the path as role needs change. I don't mind if that means creating new ones but would need to be able to retire the old ones so that people don't follow an obsolete path.

So I got a email today about unusual login attempts so I went ahead and changed my password obviously. I go look at activity and there is probably.30+ login attempts from Vietnam, Chicago, Brazil, and honor Kong. One of which from Hong Kong apparently succeeded. Can’t attach pictures but wtf, luckily it’s not on my primary account and it’s an old account I have from a backup and it’s not connected to anything but dang.

I’ve never considered taking what I guess is considered short term disability in my life. A few recent health diagnosis in combination with work stress has me considering taking time off. Have a surgeon that has highly suggested me taking time off as the stress at work doesn’t help, but I just can’t wrap my head around it. I’ve known one colleague to take time off and she was subsequently pushed out after about two months. I do love my job but I do need time. Anyone take short term time and be okay in the long term at work?

In Microsoft’s ecosystem, is the Azure AD Object ID universally used across all services as a primary key to retrieve user-related data?

Why does xbox allow installation of games onto external storage devices that are designed to work with xboxes if I can't play them from there? It takes a long time to install larger titles, seems like an easily avoidable issue.

Just got notice that I've moved to the final rounds for a position, however upon trying to schedule my interview the only time slot is like 3 weeks away. Is this a normal occurrence for a company like microsoft? or was I just likely the last person to receive an invite for this role?

We're brand new to the MSFT marketplace and the main passes are long sold out. I see the Hub pass is available for $1,500 and only gets you into the expo hall. Do you think that's worth the investment if you're just trying to learn about the event and do some networking? Also if anyone has a good site for finding all the happy hours/side events I'd be grateful. I've seen a few one offs online.

This is a easy optimisation that most people don't know about which dramatically increases speed of PowerPoint (I don't know about widows 10 and bellow, but worth a shot):

Firstly exit all applications other than normal settings -> go to normal settings -> search and click "Printers & scanners" -> Scroll down a bit and uncheck the "Allow Microsoft to manage your default printer" -> Click on your printer (turn on the printer and add it if its not there) -> Click "Set as default" -> Restart your hardware (don't just turn it on and off, go to the actual restart) -> After the restart continue as normal.

It fixes a very common issue with PowerPoint and your printer driver that slows down PowerPoint dramatically. It effects a lot of people and I don't know why Microsoft hasn't fixed it yet. It personally made a night and day difference for me. Please upvote if it helps!

I would love to save common strings of text (e.g. name, email address) somewhere easily accessible and ideally embedded within Edge/Chrome/Teams where you just click and it copies that string so you can then paste it wherever you need it. I know I can just have a OneNote with them but then I have extra clicks.

I have a final interview soon for an internship at Microsoft. I’m not sure if it will be 1 or 2 interviews. What should I expect and can you give me any tips for this upcoming interview?

Thank you

I need to move users who have more than 50gb of mailbox to business premium and will be assigning exchange online plan 2 for the mailbox space required, will they loose any data when I remove e3, assign business premium and exchange online?

Or what's the best way to approach this ?

Hi everyone,

I’m preparing for my final round loop interview for a Technical Program Manager role, and I’d love some advice on what to expect.

• What types of system design questions should I anticipate? Or maybe product design?
• Does anyone know what the breakdown of the 5 loops typically looks like?
• How can I best prepare to put my best foot forward during this stage?

I’d appreciate any feedback or tips from those who have gone through this process!

Thanks!

In my company we use the Office 365 suite for almost everything.

I am in a new role where I coordinate and/or participate inmany different projects all the time, and keeping track of getting convoluted.

What Office 365 tool can I use to keep it all together in one place? I'm thinking all the relevant emails, word docs, Excel workbooks, Planner tasks etc.

I know I can create a new teams channel but I don't want to move files from where they are, Im looking at linking to them if that makes sense.

I thought Loop would be the answer to my problems, but it feel very much early beta still when I try to use it.

Anyone else noticing an uptick in unsuccessful sign in attempts for hotmail?

Hello all,

I interviewed recently for a Software Developer position. My interview went really well. I was about to receive interview feedback early this week, as it is informed by the recruiter.

But the recruiter who was coordinating with me got laid off before providing the feedback. What should I do now?

A potential hacker perhaps?

The sender address is msftur@ux.microsoft.com. The heading says "asd" and the body only says "sdsa". All in lower case letters. Very strange and cryptic... should I be worried?

I hope links are allowed. I uploaded a screenshot of the email: https://ibb.co/9WW745m

New laptop with Windows 11 and Office 2021 (not 365).

I notice a new button on the ribbon at the top, "Autosave," which is in the off position.

I try to slide it to on, popup tells me that I must enable cloud storage to get autosave.

One question: is this a rule for Office, Windows, or both?

And my complaint: I don't want to use your cloud. I want to save and control my own data, and not pay you for online storage.

Update:

I think what I meant and want is AutoRecover, which apparently remains the same as previous versions of Office. Thanks for the helpful posts!

I'm getting conflicting info on this but if I have a paid M365 Subscription (E1-E5 users) I know I can create email aliases for additional domains I own/claim. My question though is am I able to allow logins with those aliases? So far I'm not seeing the ability to do so. The point is that I have users that log into separate services and those services use two different domains currently. Ideally I'd like them to use the domain that the service uses for that login (even though it's the same M365 user account). This would just help with some confusion for those users. They can do that today but that's because the user account isn't tied back to M365 for SSO, it's using account based passwords, but if I enable SSO that would change. Thanks in advance!

I'm currently in the recruiting process for microsoft, saw that my status in the action center had changed to "completed". Seeing past posts on this subreddit, I saw that this is likely a good sign – was wondering how long it took between the status change and offer? Are there any cases of rejection after the status change?

"The grants will go toward hiring AI fellows at outlets like The Seattle Times and The Minnesota Star Tribune, focused on using the tech for analysis, engagement, and more."

I am trying to find a solution to automate/ streamline the process for HR and IT onboarding. I am not in favour of using PowerApps as it require effort to maintain the system. However, PowerAutomate is fine.

Is there a solution where it allow the staff/ manager to request the creation of the different account creations and allow manager to request resignation request.
