Disable “Do Not Send a Response” option in Outlook with MDM

When users select the option to not send a response when accepting a meeting invite in Microsoft Outlook, their response is not visible for the invitee. This makes it troublesome to keep track of attendees for the meeting. This is why many organizations want to disable this option. 

If someone replies to a meeting invite by using the “Do Not Send a Response” option, the action is marked in the users calendar, but it will not reflect in the meeting tracking visible for invitees.

The problem has been present for a long time, and there has been some information available on how this can be solved by use of Group Policies in legacy Active Directory environments. Here’s how to remove the option to not send a response on meeting invites using Configuration Policies in Microsoft Endpoint Manager and a Settings Catalog profile type.

Automatic file upload from legacy server to Microsoft 365

Companies that have gone through several generations of IT systems will have to make their cloud journey in small steps – system by system. Devices and document storage are quickly moved to Microsoft 365. Special Line of Business systems may take longer to cloudify. This can present challenges in making data from dinosaur systems available to users of the modern Microsoft 365 platform.

The challenge from a real world scenario

I was challenged by a customer with a production environment running in an old on premises environment while all users and endpoints had converted to Microsoft 365. They had challenges in reaching reports that were produced on premises and needed a solution to have this data automatically uploaded to Sharepoint for easy and modern access. Challenge accepted!

Min Renovasjon inn i Homey

Jeg har lenge ønsket å få informasjon fra vårt renovasjonsselskap RIR inn i mitt smarthus slik at jeg kan få målrettet varsel om dette sammen med annen varsling som huset gir oss. I forbindelse med at Homey slapp funksjonen advanced flow 01.07.2022, kom det ett innlegg i facebook gruppen Athom Homey Norge fra Vegard Hamar som viste en metodikk for å få dette på plass. Det krevde litt spekulasjon for å kunne gjenskape dette. Legger her ut mine notater slik at kanskje flere kan ha glede av dette.

Min Renovasjon

Vårt renovasjonsselskap RIR benytter løsningen Min Renovasjon for varsling av tømmedager. Vegard Hamar skriver i sitt Facebook innlegg at han har hentet inspirasjon fra et GitHub prosjekt for Home Assistant som går mot Min Renovasjon.
