Admin centers and "see all" missing from M365 Admin Center

Logging into admin.microsoft.com this morning and the additional admin centers (such as Exchange, Identity, Sharepoint) are missing from the left menu?
Anyone else experiencing this?

PSA: There's a Graph API opt-out for the Sept 1 passkey auto-enrollment nudges....not in the email Microsoft sent, only in the FAQ

If you got the email about Microsoft retiring SMS/voice MFA, you probably only caught two dates:

Sept 1, 2026 — Entra auto-enables passkey registration nudges for anyone currently on SMS/voice

Feb 1, 2027 — Microsoft-provided SMS/voice is fully retired, no exceptions

What the email doesn't call out: there's a temporary opt-out for the Sept 1 part. It won't move your Feb 2027 deadline but it stops Microsoft from flipping on the registration campaign and hitting your end users with "set up a passkey now" nudges before you're actually ready to manage that rollout yourselves.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/authentication/concept-sms-voice-retirement-faq

Go to the FAQ and read the section "What if I have different plans for my tenant than enabling passkeys for SMS/voice users (such as configuring a customer configured telecom provider or migrating users to another authentication method)?"

It will show you what you need to do to opt out.

It saved me so much anxiety and stress knowing we have more time to properly roll this out and not have our end users in a frenzy when the notification would have dropped.

Help with exporting OneNote

Basically my issue is that I can’t right click the file on the web version of OneNote which should allow me to select “export” then choose my file type. Instead, I’m getting standard website right click option. I’m on Mac, but I’ve tried this now on safari, edge, Firefox, and chrome all with the same issue: there is no “right click” option. I’ve been on with Microsoft support for 2 hours and basically they’re useless. Is this a me problem, or their website being broken? How is there no other possible way to export these files?

Edit: online support still seems perplexed. Can anyone attempt to relocate this on their computer? Export a OneNote to .onepkg.

I built a free open-source dashboard that shows where your M365 storage actually goes (mailboxes, OneDrive, SharePoint), because our backup provider bills by volume

Like many SMBs, we back up Microsoft 365 through a managed service that bills by data volume. The invoice kept growing every month, and nobody could tell why, the Admin Center spreads this information across three different portals, and you end up exporting CSVs to Excel anyway.

So I built a small dashboard for it and open-sourced it:

https://github.com/AussieCH/m365-usage-dashboard

What it shows:

  • Total tenant storage across mailboxes, OneDrive and SharePoint, with a growth chart over time (weekly snapshots), so you can see whether cleanup actions actually work
  • Per-user list, sortable/filterable: mailbox + OneDrive usage, quota utilization with warning thresholds, license type, and automatic detection of shared mailboxes (the classic silent growers: info@, accounting@ …)
  • All SharePoint sites with real display names, storage, owner, file count, page views and last activity — sites inactive for 90+ days get flagged as archiving candidates. Great for finding the dead sites left behind by Teams sprawl.

Tech: PowerShell 7 + Pode web server, data via the official Microsoft Graph Reports API (read-only permissions), stored locally in a single SQLite file. No cloud dependency, no telemetry, nothing leaves your network. Runs on any Windows box (dev also works on macOS/Linux).

Setup: there's a step-by-step guide (PDF) plus PowerShell scripts that automate the whole app registration incl. permissions, or you click through Entra manually in ~10 minutes. A built-in demo mode generates sample data so you can try it without touching your tenant. Screenshots are in the README.

Two gotchas the guide covers because they cost me time: report pseudonymization must be disabled in the Admin Center (otherwise you only get hashes), and the usage reports no longer include SharePoint site URLs in many tenants, the dashboard resolves real site names via Graph instead.

It grew out of a customer project and is free/MIT-ish open source, feedback, issues and PRs very welcome. Happy to answer questions about the Graph endpoints used.

Outlook Classic Issues

I want to post here to see if I'm not the only one going crazy on this issue (given it's Microsoft i feel like I'm not alone). I've noticed some users are reporting their Outlook have their shared mailboxes disappear after about 30 seconds of being open. i've also seen a user or two mention their focused inbox disappear when interacting between Inbox and sub folders. when reading into this, it appeared to partly an Autodiscover issue. i tried the registry setting band-aid solution and no dice. the only thing that appears to work is wiping the Outlook profile. i've reported this to M365 and they say nothing. i put in a ticket and the engineer thinks my method so far is best as he couldn't figure it out. he even kinda chuckled as he believes this is another iteration of "AI Coding slop" deploying issues. Is anyone else experiencing this?

M365 Mail connection issue from mobile devices

Anyone else seeing connection issues from mobile devices using the built in Mail app?

We use the native email app on iOS devices and are seeing about 10% (9/93) of our fleet (that we know of) reporting issues with email either not updating or giving a server connection error.

Australia based with devices across a wide variety of different networks and locations.

Outlook app seems to be working fine. Beginning to look like a Microsoft issue.

No errors showing in Entra with regards authentication.

One of our users keeps getting randomly logged out of Office 365 web (Outlook, Calendar, SharePoint) while actively working, no clear pattern, happens maybe 1-2x a day. She's fully browser-based (Chrome, windows 11 laptop), no desktop Outlook.

What i've ruled out so far:

  1. Not signing into multiple separate accounts, she has delegate access to a shared mailbox via "Open another mailbox," which uses her existing session, not a second login

  2. Cleared cache/cookies — no change

  3. Set her up with a fresh Chrome profile to rule out corruption, inconclusive so far, she prefers keeping her normal tab-based workflow

  4. She doesn't want to use any other browsers

except chrome.

Anyone run into something similar or have other things worth checking before escalating for log access?

Microsoft Poop

Can anyone, including those from Microsoft, tell me how to stop Microsoft Loop from remaining fully functional within an M365 tenant?

Microsoft documentation? I've read/applied all that I can find and Loop remains FULLY functional.

Microsoft Support? Part 1...I attempted to complete this exercise, but it essentially went nowhere. I submitted all detail and evidence I had in front of me and the process was ridiculously slow...as if they were reading from a script. So I closed the case.

3rd party ideas/support? I've read/applied all that I can find and Loop remains FULLY functional.

AI? I have pages and pages of expertise that I've tried and Loop remains FULLY functional.

Microsoft Support? Part 2...Working with the fine engineering folks at Microsoft (again). Referred them to the previous case, provided all notes of what's been done/tried since, AND STILL get the "did you try" with references to their publicly accessible documentation.

Microsoft SUCKS.

Been trying to do this for weeks, but i'm stuck

[Read here first]

I'm a computer engineer (with only a few months of experience), who recently got contracted at a local irrigation company.

One of the main things my boss told me when he gave me my contract is that he wanted to implement Microsoft 365 into his business. (one of his main ideas been the image you see above [which he made by talking to AI, by the way])

Now, so far, i understand how most of the apps work and how they interact with each other (typical Word, Excel, Outlook & Onedrive document management + sharing through Sharepoint + Teams).

The issue comes once his project introduced me to apps that i am not so familiar (Lists, Planner, Power Automate).

Now so far, i think i got the hang of Lists (and managed to connect it to Teams via Power Automate).

But things got really complicated once he asked me to interconnect Lists + Planner + Teams through Power Automate.

For the record, i think Power Automate s*cks, (most of the stuff either doesn't work or is unecesarily complicated), and Planner Basic (the one included in Microsoft 365 Business), is pretty bare, [at least, considering what my boss wants to do.]

I ask you guys if someone can clarify the steps i should follow (i've gotten real dizzy at this point and neither AI or Youtube tutorials seem to help on the matter) [AI gets things wrong most of the time, and most Youtube channels assume you have Planner Premium]

365 connector/MS Graph Claude

Required 365 connector permissions are present with admin consent. Search, folder listing, and text-file reads work, but image, pdf, and office binary reads fail with graphic/content request failed:400. Some text MIME types are also refused by the connector. Anyone have insight?

Delegated Mailbox Access Issues

I have few mailboxes which are used by multiple staff members. Currently these mailboxes are added as separate accounts in Outlook desktop of users by using the passwords and MFA of these mailboxes. This approach is very often causing issues when the passwords of these mailboxes expire or the MFA is required. To avoid this, I have started providing users delegated mailbox access by giving "read and manage" and "send-as" permissions. This approach is working and providing the access to users but one user stopped receiving emails with an error that the mail store is full because delegated access starts downloading the data of the mailbox to the user's personal OST file. Is it possible to have the data of delegated mailbox downloaded to a separate OST? How can this be achieved? I want to have the mailbox appear as separate account in the Account Settings in Outlook as this will allow all the other functionality like separate mailbox rules etc.

Lost authentication key

Hello everyone,

A year ago I was working at a startup and managed the Microsoft 365 accounts of the organization. When I left the company I have removed any of my information, including the authentication key connected to my authenticator app.

One year later the boss is calling how to pay their bill, but guess what they did not add new key for the administrator account. Now the account is logout and wants a key that is not existent.

I have tried calling the customer support number, but did not had luck the AI agent.

Do you have experience with that kind of problems and suggestions what to do next?

Thank you in advance!

Could you buy a MSoft365 Family renewal from India and use it in the UK?

Likely to renew 365 Family subscription in the next couple of months. Noticed that the price for UK vendors for the 12-month renewal code has jumped to at least £100 in most cases.

When searching for deals on Google UK was presented with an India based outfit called Live Tech offering a family renewal for the equivalent of £50.34 for the Indian version. It requires an india IP address on renewal which is doable.

Question - has anyone bought similar and did it work for you?

Thanks for any thoughts or advice.

Built a free Chrome extension for D365 F&O, useful across support, admin, dev, and testing

I work with D365 F&O and kept running into the same friction: pulling together environment, legal entity, form, and page details takes longer than it should, whoever you are and whatever you’re doing in the system. So I built SupportKit.
Made a short captioned demo, no voiceover, showing it running against real pages.

A few ways different roles end up using it:

Support and admin get one-click ticket context, environment, legal entity, form, screenshot, plus a warning strip so PROD and UAT never get confused.

Developers can pull exact page and table context straight into a bug report instead of describing it from memory.

Testers can confirm they’re on the right page or table before running a case, and check whether a user actually has a given permission without asking someone else to look.

Everyone gets a searchable reference of 120+ standard tables and quick OData access without leaving the browser.

It’s free, open source, and nothing it captures ever leaves your browser, no analytics, no external calls, source is public if you want to check.

If you work with D365 F&O in any capacity, I’d genuinely value you trying it and telling me what’s useful, what’s missing, or what’s flat out wrong.

This app man

Ok so I’m trying to sign into my account right but to do that I need to get the code from the Authenticator app, but do get the code I have to sign into the app and the email that is used to sign into the app and receive the code is the email I can’t get into without the code. So it’s a never ending cycle of signing in to get the code but needing the code to sign in. When I press for other options of signing in it just gives me the choice of using a code through the app (the one I’m trying to sign in to) or inputting the code it gives me to put into the app (the same app I’m trying to sign into) and I can’t do the second option cause I’m in the Authenticator app trying to sign into it but if I try to exit out to into it the code it gives me I have to cancel the signing in process to even attempt to put the code it it’s just a never ending loop and I need to get into this Microsoft account

365 authentication/login issues

Just started working at a tiny firm. I started using 365 there with one login before someone realized my account's email address was the same as a prior employee's email, which was causing issues with me receiving a lot of junk mail and confusion over communications externally. The solution to this issue was for them to change my login and email address.

Since this happened, I can't log into MS 365 apps on my PC desktop. I can access the web apps just fine, with the exception that Word and Excel are operating as "view only" apps. The error message when I go to log in reads something like

"Another account from your organization is already signed in" and prevents me from going any further.

I can access the office's One Drive from the web but not sure if desktop is accessible there either. For some reason Outlook works just fine in both formats.

Does anyone know how to fix this? My next option is to like hire my own personal IT asst. to sort this out. It's been 4 days of troubleshooting this at a new job while on-boarding and I just really need it to work.

If I just buy my own 365 to avoid having to deal with theirs, could this theoretically solve the problem? Or would the new Outlook and One Drive potentially overwrite the 2 apps I can actually use and make this worse?

Many thanks
