July 31, 2023 Leave a comment
I am working on an Exchange migration project currently, and setting up some things in a lab. As part of that I am converting what was a Modern Hybrid setup with the Hybrid Agent, to a Classic Hybrid, using connectors and what not.
I was trying to use New-FederationTrust setup a Federation trust and received the following:
Unable to access the Federation Metadata document from the federation partner. Detailed information “The remote server returned an error: (426) Upgrade Required.”
Quick Fix: Invalid overflow action target in Microsoft Teams
July 6, 2023 Leave a comment
So, you want to automate the creation of Microsoft Teams Call Queues. You want to use Shared Voicemail and the target is a Unified Group. But wait, what’s this, invalid overflow action target?
As you can see above we are using a variable $unifiedGroup, and selecting the id of that object. This is derived from an earlier command ‘Get-UnifiedGroup‘.

Spent too long troubleshooting this, because I, like most men, do not read the manual.
Trying to deploy Office 2019 Standard Volume License using the ODT. Using a config file I created at config.office.com. After running the setup.exe /configure configure.xml command you receive an error saying unable to download a required file or similar.
Solution – remove en-GB from your list of languages.
en-GB is only supported in builds newer than 2108 and Office 2019 is currently on build 1808.
It says it here, I just didn’t think to check because I was using the Config tool to build the file.
Lesson learned.

Don’t waste any time trying to find any remnance of a previous Office installation, chances are it is not there!
Download the latest version of the Office Deployment Tool, and while you;re at it head over to the Office Customisation Tool for help with those XML configuration files.
Quick Fix: Enable DKIM for Office 365
July 26, 2017 2 Comments
If you have been following some of my recent posts you’ll know i have been talking about Office 365 and Exchange Online and how you can tweak the settings to better secure your mail.
One of the steps for that is to setup DKIM. For Office 365 this requires two CNAME records to be published in your public DNS.
The problem i was having when setting up a new client, was knowing what the CNAME should be set to.

I have just been through a particularly bad support incident, which I wanted to share in great detail. However confidentially precludes me from doing so.
Anyway it turns out it was caused by a failed Windows Update, not a hardware failure as we first suspected.
Plenty of lessons learned here on how not to handle a ticket, but the takeaway is, if you are facing the errors in the title, try this and reboot:
sfc /scannow
You may be unable to launch anything, except a command prompt so it may be you need to go into safe mode which you can set via BCDedit:
bcdedit /set {current} safeboot network
I wish I had thought to check for failed Windows Updates before I started a restore job.. but you live and learn.
