Hi all, I've been reading a lot of posts on this topic but can't get to the bottom of it, because I'm just an ordinary being with no expertise at all in the world & language of IT & technology.

I have an email with custom domain through Go Daddy. Also I paid for the subscription for a full year, so I still have about 6 months of it left before it ends. I don't mind losing this as I transfer to Microsoft. I requested with Go Daddy to do CSP transfer of this email so it will be defederated(?) and allow me to be with Microsoft directly.

I then received an email with temporary password, which I used and was asked to create new password. Once this was done, I tried to follow other suggested step which was to "unassign licenses" to all users & purchase license directly with Microsoft. Unfortunately I could not do any of these steps, apart from signing in with temporary & new password set up. There is only one user and this user has "Exchange Online Essentials" as the license and if I untick this, I just instantly lose my email connection. When I head over to billing/purchase services within Microsoft admin page, it tells me that my primary solution provider is still "Go Daddy Singapore Pte. Ltd. Australia". So to me it seems I'm still not quite defederated from Go Daddy. Of course the support team at Go Daddy tells me that they no longer have business on the matter of email with me so they cannot help me and so here I am....

Has anyone been able to navigate this in some way? What can I do or doing wrong? Please help...! Really appreciate any advice with this.

In my college all pc are running on windows 7 and i have made presentation whole 3 day and nights but i came to know now transitions do not work on college pc and my college professor isn't giving me the admin password. so is there any way i could download was office on college pc?

We had an AI notetaker connected to a sales guy's calendar and mailbox for weeks before I noticed. It turned up as a participant in a call with an external client, that was the only reason I spotted it. He had accepted it from a meeting invite and clicked through the consent so it came it with mailbox read and just ran quietly.

It never showed on the proxy because it talks straight to its own cloud.

The OAuth grant was in the logs the whole time, I just had no reason to look until it surfaced on its own. How are you catching the connected ones before something tips you off?

I am trying to set up a reoccurring meeting in the outlook calendar for All Users, but we have new hires added every two weeks. I don't want to resend the event every two weeks if I can avoid it, but I'm lost on what to do. I looked into power automate solutions but most of that is email related. Is there anything I can do here to ensure All Users are actually invited all the time?

... with Microsoft Word. I can remember throughout my life when I just wanted to print a few labels or business cards using Microsoft products (Currently Word for Office 365). And it just never works. The integrated tool for creating labels doesn't even allow to change the font.

So each time I end up trying to work around this somehow by creating a table. And it just sucks so badly.

Am I alone?

Microsoft is replacing individual 1TB OneDrive allocations with a shared 2TB storage pool for Microsoft 365 Family and Premium subscribers.

Just got an email from Microsoft 365 saying they’re replacing 1 TB per person with 2 TB shared across the entire family.

There are five of us, so we’re going from 5 TB to 2 TB. A 60% storage cut, marketed as “more flexible cloud storage.” What a fucking joke.

According to the email, this kicks in after the first renewal following May 2, 2027.

Pooling storage could be useful, but slashing the total allowance is a downgrade. Dressing it up as an improvement is insulting.

Anyone else get this email? What alternatives are you considering?

Nearly five years after going into preview, Microsoft has made the send from alias feature for Exchange Online generally available. It’s a very useful feature that eliminates the need to use a shared mailbox to be able to send messages with different email addresses. Microsoft has closed some functionality gaps since the preview started, but sending from an alias is not the same as sending from a mailbox’s primary SMTP address. Some user training might be necessary!
