As many of you are probably aware, Microsoft is disabling the "Old" Outlook experience, which unfortunately is the only compatible OOTW experience for users of an older Mac OS.
The maximum version of Chrome that will run on 10.8.5 is Chrome 49, which is not a supported browser for OOTW.
Similar issue with Firefox, and it's even worse for Safari.
However, in Windows 7, you can run the newest version of Chrome, so an idea we had is to virtualize Win7 & Chrome for our users.
First -- does anyone know of any alternative options for running latest Chrome/Firefox or perhaps another browser that OOTW will continue to support that will run on Mac OS 10.8.5 that is stable & enterprise-friendly?
Second -- if not, is anyone aware of some kind of virtualization platform that a 10.8.5 Mac can run that will enable virtualization of Win7 and Chrome?
We've been unable to upgrade our Macs for years due to budgetary reasons, and we had literally *just* started a refresh project when we got the Admin center advisory about a month ago. We're loathe to upgrade all our Macs' OSes as we have quite a few considerations application-wise we'd need to address in a very short period of time, and we're about to upgrade any way!
We did already check with Microsoft to see if it was possible for a delay/exception for our tenant. You can guess how that went, given we have less than 200 users.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Forgot to mention, this is an Office365 Exchange Online tenant. Most users are running Exchange Online Plan 2, some are running E3.
We recently moved to Teams from Skype for Business. All of our users are set to a Teams-only coexistence policy, and our org-wide Teams upgrade policy is Teams-only.
Today, I noticed that the recently-added chat capability in Outlook on the Web was showing a Skype for Business icon. Not only do I see it, but I can actually pull it up and successfully initiate a Skype chat from it. (The Teams recipient gets a separate IM with a Skype icon from me)
I looked around for some cause, and finally found it. I'm running Privacy Badger from the EFF in Google Chrome, which blocks trackers/cookies for webdir.online.lync.com and webdir.0aonline.lync.com. This extension's blocking of these items does something weird, ultimately resulting in letting the upgraded, Teams-only user access Skype again.
If Privacy Badger is disabled, the Outlook on the Web chat icon reverts to a generic chat icon, which correctly sends users to Teams in another tab:

If Privacy Badger is enabled, Outlook on the Web gives the Skype icon and lets the Teams-only user go back to using Skype:

This seems like some coding oversight... pretty bizarre that a 3rd party extension could basically circumvent an org-wide Teams upgrade policy.
Thought I'd share!
There was a bug on the nintendo account web page that prevented users with a hotmail or outlook account from receiving their confirmation emails, making it impossible for them to secure their user ID, that bug seems to be gone now, and although I haven't seen any post by Nintendo about this, my testing led me to finally receive the email.

MC201582 is a new feature rolling out that will give users the option to add a personal calendar to their Office 365 calendar. It won't just be for viewing, but will affect availability, etc.
However, if you set this up and look at the permissions? Wow. I would never do this, and I'm not a tin-foil hat guy. I routinely give permissions to Google and others, but I have no idea why this feature requires Microsoft to be able to view or delete all of my Google Drive files or change who they are shared with? What? It's a calendar feature! Not to mention all my gmail, contacts, etc. Ridiculous.

Hi All. I'm relatively new to using selenium so please explain anything in as much detail as possible.
At the moment I'm trying to scrape all of the calendar events for the month off my outlook web account for use elsewhere. I've Found a really helpful script on GitHub and butchered out the bits I want.
At the moment It gets all the events, location, start time etc. I need it to get all the Attendees too.
To do this you need to double click the event, find the popup and then find the Attendees tab? I'm not really sure how to go about finding these elements and clicking/ getting information from them as they seem to be created on the spot? or are all these popup windows for the page already there in the css and just need to be found?
Here's my butchered version:
Any help is really appreciated!
To be more specific, I am sending from my work PC where Outlook is installed.
If I were to schedule sending the email tomorrow, and I took a leave tomorrow (where my only access to Outlook 365 will be via web), will my email be sent or will it stay in my outbox?
If we wanted to do this globally is it as simple as disabling "Direct File Access" in 365 EAC under Permissions/Outlook Web App policies on the OwaMailboxPolicy-Default?
Looking at quick fixes to allow staff to check email on home computers for Coronavirus type updates if they're at home and don't have a company device but we don't want them able to download documents.
It seems like I have to enter my PIN at least a hundred times, every ten seconds, before I can even get my inbox loaded. After that, I still have to enter it over and over again whenever I'm attempting to do anything. It literally drives me insane.
I've tried different browsers and even that doesn't help. Any of you comm geniuses out there know what I'm doing wrong?
Anyone else not seeing this in the Outlook web app? Outlook thick clients seem to be working fine, but although the add-in is set to mandatory at a global level, people can no longer access this from OWA. It doesn't show up in the list along with the other add-ins.
Edit:
Resolved.
Solution: Download Phish Alert V2 XML file from KB4 and import it to O365 in the add-ins menu.
Been self-studying to try to enter this field. But I do have some concerns regarding whether there will continue to be good opportunities in this field.
First off, the barrier for entry seems to be the lowest for "developer" type positions. It feels like generally web developers are the most open to not needing a CS degree and self-studying.
Second, there seems to be a LOT of these coding academy type thing springing up, producing a wave of web developers basically every 12 weeks. I don't know how this could continue without saturating the field and impacting wages/ employment.
Any thoughts on this issue?
We exclusively use the Webbased outlook client https://outlook.office.com and are encountering (9 out of 10 times) a problem with opening (PDF) attachments from a shared mailbox.
When user tries to preview an PDF attachment from a shared mailbox the error is ;”Error: Unable to load PDF document”.
When user trys to download the attachment the error in te browser is ;” {"Body":{"ErrorCode":500,"ExceptionName":"ArgumentNullException","FaultMessage":"Value cannot be null.\u000d\u000aParameter name: value","IsTransient":false,"ResponseCode":"ErrorInternalServerError"}}”
I have done the following in an attempt to solve it (without success)
- Save the attachment (result is the error above)
- Have the user sign out and sign into Office 365.
- Try another browser (firefox, chrome, edge, internet explorer)
- Delete browser cache (all cookies , temp etc)
- Try from a different computer on a different internet connection with a different (NAT only) firewall
- Disable the firewall
- Disable the proxy and use a direct connection
We found two workarounds
- Select the attachment and save it to Onedrive. Then it’s accessible trough onedrive.
- Forward the mail (with the attachment) to the owners mailbox.
What is the issue here or any further troubleshooting tips? Any help is greatly appreciated!
UPDATE 5/10/2019 MICROSOFT:
Our Product Engineering team has isolated the issue but Worldwide deployment would take several weeks (4 to 6 weeks from now) considering multiple tenants are affected and the fix has to be rolled out in a phase by phase manner.
Please check the status end of May 2019 and update us the outcome.
UPDATE 5/15/2019
Issue is resolved on our tenant. Turned out to be a bug in Office 365.
Resolution:
-
We raised a request with our Product Engineering team, since multiple tenants were affected they worked on a fix which would be deployed across all the affected tenants by end of May 2019.
-
Possibly fix has already been deployed for your tenant which is the reason users in the org are now able to preview or download PDF attachments successfully from shared mailbox "XXX@XXX.XX" in OWA.
Hi everyone!
I recently opened a new Outlook account through my school. I've had several other outlook accounts at different institutions with no problems. Initially, I set up the account with a forwarder to my Gmail with the option to keep a copy in my Outlook inbox, but the rules of the institution forbid this so I turned it off.
Here's the thing. I am still getting forwarding to my Gmail, but my Outlook inbox is totally blank. I can see my sent messages and drafts, but nothing in the Inbox.
Can you help? Thanks community!
As stated in the title my outlook contacts on the web are not showing their contact photos that I have set for them. Instead it is showing their initials.
Hello, After 10 years on Gmail I switched to Outlook. I currently use the Outlook web app. Yesterday I installed Office Outlook. Nevertheless I am a little (much) lost.
In the web version, I created categories with criteria. They do not seem to synchronize with the desktop client, is this normal?
Thank you
