Multiple vs single SharePoint (Online) sites for data storage.

Hello guys,

We're somewhat struggling with moving traditional file shares to SharePoint Online. Unanimously people recommend moving to multiple sites vs a single one because the ease of management. While I do not doubt that I simply cannot see the logic. The only real limitation I can think of is the amount of items per site where moving to multiple sites would make a difference.

What is easier about managing permissions on for example 5 folders in the root of a single site vs managing the permissions on 5 separate sites?

What I do know is that it is way easier to have my user go to a single site to find their stuff vs 5 different sites (and their corresponding URL's) or am I missing something here?

Is classic Outlook becoming worse and worse?

For a few years I'm noticing more and more weird and unexplainable behaviour in Outlook. We support mostly 365 Exchange Online clients on Windows workstations or RDS environments.

The amounts of unexplainable bullshit we face is staggering. Outlook not being able to open the folder set, weird MFA glitches, weird bugs in the UI and downright weird errors coming from nowhere is some of the stuff we face weekly.

Am I alone on this?

Am I dumb or does YouTube suck?

I want to make a playlist with some livesets, these are usually an hour. I have added these into a playlist and I cannot for the life of me stop YouTube from continuing halfway where I once stopped some of them.

Starting from the beginning and letting it play for 10 seconds, pressing on the timeline at the start a few times. Nothing works.

At this point disabling the option of automatic saving / continuing is fine but I can't find and options whatsoever.

Am I dumb or is YouTube just stupid?

Looking for advice on a stereo receiver for my (upcoming) TV.

Hi guys,

Currently I'm running a 15 year old Sony TV with two Behringer Truth 2031's over RCA. I've added a Denon DCD-810 to that mix with a simple RCA switch to either listen to CD's over the speakers or my TV. The setup is somewhat clunky, I have to power on each speaker manually and walk over to the RCA switch to choose between TV or CD's. Since I've already had the speakers and the TV this was a very cheap way to go and I don't mind the extra steps. I am bound by CD players with variable outputs because of this, hence the 35 year old CD player which has it's disadvantages.

Now being realistic my TV is getting old, it's only 40 inches and I want it replaced in the coming years. Looking at modern TV's they don't seem to have RCA out for audio, just optical and HDMI as options. My plan was to get a nice second hand receiver and a nice pair of second-hand stereo speakers.

Doing a bit of reading HDMI for audio seems to be the superior option. My big question is, in what way is an older receiver future proof for all the different technologies? I would probably need a receiver that is 4k capable and whatever protocols I might need. Will optical out really give me a big disadvantage over HDMI? And if I would use HDMI on the receiver what technologies would it have to support?

Sorry for the long story!

Certain CD's skipping on Denon DCD-810

Hello,

I own a Denon DCD-810 which plays mostly fine. I've cleaned the lens, changed the belt and cleaned / greased the rails and gears on this thing and it can play hours without a hitch.

Now I notice that certain CD's skip sometimes. Nothing is physically damaged with the CD's themselves (as far as I can see). The skipping is not always on the same moments but seem to concentrate more on the first few tracks. Although that might also be my perception because usually I just throw in a different CD when the skipping starts.

So having playing Purple Haze for the third time now in a row I started out with skipping and now it plays almost flawlessly. The player has already been playing for more that an hour before so no cold components as far as I know. I can find no relation between the skipping CD's in age. Old or new both can be jerky.

Does anyone know what could cause skipping on certain CD's while others play fine for hours on end? I accept my DCD-810 being a fossil as a valid answer ;)

Exporting Sharepoint Online folder permissions to Excel.

Hey guys,

Because of the unclear nature of Sharepoint folder permissions we want to make an export to Excel of each folder and the appropriate rights. Explicit rights only is fine but everything together is also fine.

Having tried and tested for hours I cannot seem to find a working script. Using outdated functions, random errors, etc.

Does anyone know a working script for this? A commercial solution (that does nog charge 4000$per year) is also fine. This is becoming an expensive headache for me.

I have already tried all the usual Google hits as well as ChatGPT. None seem to work but also not work with modern authentication when connecting to Sharepoint using Powershell for example which leads me to suspect they are too old.

Getting Azure joined desktops with multiple users working.

Hey guys,

We are struggling with our Azure joined machines used by multiple people during the day. Each time they log on to a new machine we get a helpdesk call for us to set up OneDrive / Sharepoint libraries synchronization in the client.

We know Intune can do this but Intune settings can take up to 8 hrs to propagate by which the user has already called us. This takes too long.

I've made a support call with Microsoft which has been open for a month now with what I think is a fairly straight forward question but they keep telling me they' re discussing this with their team.

Is there a scenario that sets these settings instantly that minimizes helpdesk calls? Or is this made for 1 user per device scenario's? Apart from reinstating on-prem DC's and whatnot ;)

Hope you guys can point me somewhere because Microsoft doesn't seem to..

Are we the only shop with constant login bullshit on Office 365 desktop apps?

We are facing constant problems with the desktop apps in O365, wheter it's RDS servers that somehow are Azure joined by a user from login 1001 errors to modern authentication Windows that automatically disappear or other generic error 1001 logon bullshit. We have a tome of registry bullshit with shit like EnableADAL to deleting the AAD appx folder from the user profile and/or reinstalling it through Powershell and so it goes on.. usually dicking around with these settings will make it magically work for a few weeks..

The amount of time this costs us and our customers is truly staggering, are we the only shop facing this?
