Modern authentication in Exchange Online enables authentication features like multi-factor authentication (MFA). Modern Authentication is by default enabled in Exchange Online and Outlook 2013 or later supports Modern authentication. I got this issue from one of my clients that the users are unable to login to Outlook after they enforce Multi-Factor Authentications for the users and as the users were using Office 2016, I haven’t thought of checking the modern authentication and it is already enabled in Outlook 2013 or later. But then it might be the possibility that somehow, they have disabled it. Of course, they were able to login to Outlook mobile as this will always use modern authentications and it doesn’t depend whether you have disabled modern authentication for Exchange Online. There was a workaround to create an App password to login but then why not modern authentication. So, let’s see how I enabled modern authentication through PowerShell. Connect to Exchange Online PowerShell. Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned $UserCredential = Get-Credential $Session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri https://outlook.office365.com/powershell-liveid/ -Credential $UserCredential -Authentication Basic -AllowRedirection Import-PSSession $Session -DisableNameChecking 2. Run the following command to enable Modern Authentication connection to Exchange Online by Outlook 2013 or later clients. Set-OrganizationConfig -OAuth2ClientProfileEnabled $true 3. Some organizations might have the requirement to disable modern authentication connection to Exchange Online by Outlook 2013 or later clients. Run the following command to disable the same. Set-OrganizationConfig -OAuth2ClientProfileEnabled $false 4. To verify that the change was successful. Get-OrganizationConfig | Format-Table Name,OAuth* -Auto I hope the above steps will be able to resolve the issues whenever the user is unable to login to Outlook client with Multi-Factor Authentication.

One can make better and faster-informed decisions when they use Microsoft Power BI Integrations. The business data that is there on your systems have a lot of information that can help you to scale up your business. You can unlock its true potential when you use business intelligence software. Microsoft is the leading company when it comes to creating products that help a business to expand beyond leaps and bounds. It is easy to learn and use. But, unfortunately not many people struggle with the software once they install it as they do not know how to use it. For example, removing duplicate in power query might look like a real struggle if you do not know how to do it. In this blog, we are going to see how to remove duplicate from the column using Power Query, as we know that we can directly apply a transformation on the column and then use remove duplicate. But there is situation when remove duplicate does not work. Situation 1:- Consider the following scenario, we have the same GUID but the case is different in that case duplicate will not get removed. Solution:- Power Query is case sensitive language here both abcdefg123  and Abcdefg123 are considered as different. If you are going to do remove duplicates despite their case of letters, then you have to apply a transformation to change them all to one case; either UPPERCASE or lowercase. Situation 2:- In other scenarios sometimes we have data with leading or trailing space is present so changing it to UPPERCASE, you would still have the extra space, which makes the two texts differ. So, to deal with that we have to use Trim Transformation to remove extra space.

Microsoft Power BI Integrations, in a nutshell, is nothing but a Power BI (business intelligence) software that provides a business analytics solution. It helps companies to visualize their data and to share observations and insights across all the departments in the organizations. Management teams can make crucial decisions based on the information that comes from these reports.  Your decision making is going to be a lot better and faster when you use this particular software. In other words, it is going to make the life of every employee better as they can see where they are doing well and where exactly they need to improve. Companies can scale up high using the data.  Here’s everything that you would want to learn about this product In this blog, we are going to see how to set the default value for value in report filter pane in Power BI. Sometimes we came with a requirement to set default values in a day filter to Current Month as default. Since we cannot use DAX in report level filter directly but we can work around this issue in the following way by creating the following DAX Default Filter = IF(MONTH(Calendar[Date])=MONTH(NOW()) && YEAR(Calendar[Date])=YEAR(NOW()),”This Month”,””) You can drag the filter in the report level filter and select the value as “This Month”.

Or rather, you are aware, but you want to book the resource anyway (only to change later on, which I don’t recommend.) In that case, if you are trying to overbook a resource out of their capacity, you are treated with this message below – Why this occurs? This is because of the Work Hours defined for the Resource. Rather, what Work Hour Template is assigned to that resource. Now, let’s say, you are trying to book someone for 8 hours on top of their already booked 2 hours If you switch to the Hours view, you’ll see the availability marked by white cells. Grey meaning, unavailable. Remember, this is even said in the error message when you tried to click Book. Alternative Of course you can do this, but you should have a very strong reason to overbook resources. 🙂 Switch to Evenly Distribute Hours to allow the resource to be booked on top of the existing one. And this should be fine, but it will appear in red indicating that the resource is overbooked. Say, 10 hours (on top of already booked 2 hours) – exceeding the 9 hours total limit. Suggested You should rather Propose Book the resource, this way, the booking will exist and won’t bloat the schedule board. And then, you can decide later to do something with it. Front Load – Proposed Now with combination of Front-Load and Proposed, you should be able to Book for only the remaining capacity Evenly Distributed – Proposed With Evenly Distributed Proposed, you should be able to exceed the capacity and even Propose for the full time you want.   Hope this quick tip helps! 🙂

These fields which are everywhere but you don’t really pay attention to really mean something worth. So if you feel you want to get hold of someone for modifying a record. Maybe also take a look at Modified By (Delegate) just in case so that the actual user might be someone else who wanted to do another thing on that record. 🙂 Impersonation is one of the basic aspects of a plugin step that you need to carefully design to let another user (usually Admins for most implementations) make the plugin run under their context instead of giving more security roles/privileges to every other new user. Well, the same goes for Created By & Created By (Delegate) also! Modified By Usually, when you update something on a record, the Modified By is updated as expected. But notice that Modified By (Delegate) is not updated. That’s because you are the rightful owner of the record and there’s no other person involved. But what is someone else is modifying the record (who don’t have access to that record)? In that case, the Modified On (Delegate) field is populated with the name of that user. In such scenarios, Modified By (Delegate) the user is the one who caused changes to the record. Why Modified By (Delegate) was populated The reason this was populated was that the record was updated through a plugin by a user who doesn’t have write access to the record. But because the user invoked a plugin which was Impersonating as a User who has rights to the records, the record was successfully updated. And this, the actual user who called the plugin is the one who will be populated in the Modified By (Delegate) field. Hope this quick tip helps!

Customer service is the most important element in today’s business. If you do not take care of your customers well, they will not stay loyal to your brand or products. Hence, you need to do everything possible to provide them with the best service. Unfortunately, these days a lot of companies are struggling with this thing.

It will not only streamline the processes in your company but it will help you to become efficient in addressing issues that are of grave concern to the customers. Installing and using this product is easy. Since there are certain things that are confusing. Here is a blog explaining how to tackle a problem you will face. Problem: Whenever we are assigning the new owner to Lead present in the CRM, the Last Date Modified of the Email Activity gets changed to the current date and time when the new Owner is assigned. Now due to this, all the Old Email Activity with other owner get re-posted to the Activity Timeline of the Lead because email activity by default sort by the Last Date Modified. Now, above the situation is happened due to the 1: N relationship present in the CRM between Leads and Email Entity which has “Parental” Type of Behavior. So, when we assign a new owner then some of the fields get modified. Following is a step where you can find Lead to Email Relationship: Go to Solution and find the Lead Entity Click on Lead Entity and then open 1: N Relationship 3. Now open Lead Email Relationship, it will be same as the following:  Now to Change the Current Behavior of the Relationship So, Email Activity should not be re-posted whenever the new owner is assigned to Lead. Step to change the Relationship Behavior: 1. Change the Type of Behavior to Configurable Cascading under the section of Relation Behavior After changing the behavior, change the Cascade All to Cascade none in Assign field. This will not change the owner of the Email Activity as well as the Last Date Modified of Lead’s old Email Activity when Lead is assigned to new Owner. Following is before and after of the configuration has been changed. If we don’t change Relationship behavior, the following is the scenario 1.1 Lead Email Relationship Configuration 1.2 Before assigning the owner 1.3 After assigning a new Owner If we change Relationship behavior, Parental to Configurable Cascading and Assign (Cascading All) to Assign (Cascading None) 1.1 Lead Email Relationship Configuration 1.2 Before assigning the owner  1.3 After assigning an Owner Hope this helps!
