Microsoft 365 Windows 11 external user or guest user sign in
Consider the following situation: CompanyA has a Microsoft 365 tenant with licensed users. CompanyA has a business relationship with CompanyB which also has a Microsoft 365 tenant. All of CompanyB's Windows 11 Pro computers are Entra ID joined and Intune enrolled. All of CompanyB's users have Microsoft 365 Business Premium licenses. An employee of CompanyA is stationed at CompanyB's office and needs to use one of CompanyB's computers as his primary computer. How would a technician have to configure things so that CompanyA user can sign into CompanyB's Windows 11 Pro computer and work like normal? I've done some reading online but most of the articles focus on access to cloud resources, whether that be Microsoft Teams or Entra Enterprise Apps or similar resources. I haven't found an article touching on Windows 11 sign in. Matthew
Edit Existing Group Me Polls without Losing Responses
Description: Currently, once a poll is created in GroupMe, it cannot be edited. This can be problematic if the poll creator makes a mistake, such as a typo, missing option, or unclear wording. Additionally, there may be instances where the creator wants to adjust the poll to guide responses in a certain direction without resetting the vote count. Proposed Solution: Enable poll creators to make minor edits to existing polls while preserving responses. This could include: • Editing the poll question • Adding or modifying response options • Adjusting the poll duration To maintain fairness, GroupMe could notify participants when changes are made and provide an option to re-cast votes if necessary. Benefits: • Fixing Mistakes: If the creator accidentally includes a typo or omits an important option, they can correct it without restarting the poll. • Clarifying Questions: A vague or misleading poll question can be refined to ensure participants fully understand it. • Guiding Responses: In some cases, the creator may want to subtly steer the poll in a particular direction without losing previous engagement. This feature would improve usability and flexibility while keeping GroupMe polls engaging and relevant.
Adding External Users in-bulk to: Microsoft Teams & Private Channel(s) within the Team
We have a customer who requires over 350 external users (their customers) to be added / invited into a Team which has been created. "Half" of the users need to be added into "private channel a", and the other "Half" need to be added into "private channel b". We have attempted to add the users via various PowerShell scripts, however none of these scripts that we have been provided with have worked for various reasons. I have been unable to locate any native methods for this within the MS 365 admin centre, therefore believe that the only way to achieve this is by PowerShell scripting. Example of the most recent script we have is as follows, omitting the creation of the private channel(s) as they have already been created - see below: We require assistance with the actual script itself to: Add users into the team from a CSV of their email addresses. Assign the users to the correct private channel. Note - users will be added in 2 batches - 1 per private channel, so we just require scripting that can be modified to achieve this. # Install the Microsoft Teams PowerShell Module Install-Module -Name PowerShellGet -Force -AllowClobber Install-Module -Name MicrosoftTeams -Force -AllowClobber # Connect to Microsoft Teams Connect-MicrosoftTeams # Define the team name and path to the CSV file $teamName = "Your Team Name" $csvPath = "C:\path\to\your\users.csv" # Get the GroupId of the team $team = Get-Team -DisplayName $teamName $groupId = $team.GroupId # Import users from the CSV file $users = Import-Csv $csvPath # Add external users to the team foreach ($user in $users) { Add-TeamUser -GroupId $groupId -User $user.Email } # Define the private channel name $privateChannelName = "Private Channel Name" # Create the private channel New-TeamChannel -GroupId $groupId -DisplayName $privateChannelName -MembershipType Private # Get the ChannelId of the private channel $channel = Get-TeamChannel -GroupId $groupId -DisplayName $privateChannelName $channelId = $channel.Id # Add users to the private channel foreach ($user in $users) { Add-TeamChannelUser -GroupId $groupId -User $user.Email -ChannelId $channelId }Add EXTERNAL Teams account details to a contact in the GAL
We collaborate a lot with another company who have their own tenant. When we want to message an “external” user in Teams we have not messaged before, we must first search and type in the full email address, then select "(External)" to message them. We also have these same users as contacts in our GAL for email. The problem we have is that when you start searching for the user, the GAL contact comes up first, and users think that this is the correct Teams user account so they select this instead of typing further to bring up the real external account. If they do make it as far as to type out the full email address, then two users show up, one from the GAL and one with "(external)" in it. This is not a great user experience. We'd like to know if there is a way in which we can import the external user to our GAL, or if we can populate the GAL contact with the Teams attributes of the external user. The end goal is to have a GAL contact which the user can click to message in Teams. Has anyone come across this before and has a solution?
Restrict access to a Form to include external users in our tenant?
Hello, I'm setting up an automation where a Form response triggers a Power Automate Flow that updates a non-critical value in Business Central records. It works well except that I want the form to be non-public but to still be usable for people that are from different tenants but added as guests or members in our Entra. I haven't found what kind of setup and changes I need to make for this to be possible, I feel like it's either people within my domain or public, nothing in between. Is there really no way to restrict access to exclude public and anonymous users but include users from externa tenants and invited in my domain ? This is the current Entra setup for the kind of user I want to be able to access the form, I have tried with both user type Guest and Member but no change. Thank you
Entra invitation manager for guests
A while ago there was a change that the SharePoint invitation manager has been converted to the Entra invitation manager. This is a good thing because every guest can use the OTP for logging in. Only I see this behaviour: When a guest has been added to a group or a team. The guest can sign in with OTP to the team. Also there is a guest account created. When I share a folder or a document the guest can sign in with the OTP to the folder or document. But there is no guest account in M365 for this user. So you don't have an overview of the guest accounts in your tennant where a document has been shared with. With Powershell you can edit the entra invitation manager a bit: Set-SPOTenant -EnableAzureADB2BIntegration $true After completing this command also the users when you share something will be addeAuthenticationd as a guest. Is it default that guests are not vissible when you share a folder or document with them? Is this the right approuch to get a view of those accounts? Maurits KnoppertHow to add and grant access to external users for an M365 mailbox
Hello, what is the workaround to allow external users to share a mailbox? External users who are not within our domain should be able to send and receive emails using an address like (email address removed for privacy reasons). I have tried setting up both Shared and Group mailboxes, but it’s not possible to add external members, even after creating and inviting the external user in Entra and granting them access as a Guest or Member. These external users need to be able to log in to this mailbox to send and receive emails. As of now, it seems impossible to add or delegate external members. We do not require Teams or any other apps; we only need email/Outlook services. I have attempted multiple configurations, but nothing seems to work.Sharing Excel sheet via embed into public web page without login
I am having difficulty sharing an Excel file to a public web page using the embed iFrame function. It embeds fine for me and I can view the web page, however a public user (or me using an incognito browser) is getting prompted to login to office 365. I need to display the data without login. I have Checked that sharing policies in Sharepoint admin centre are set to most permissive (both sharepoint and onedrive are set to "anyone" "Users can share files and folders using links that don't require sign-in." The Excel file is set (under manage access/share) "to anyone with link can view" What am I missing? Thanks for your help
