Microsoft Office Account Error Fix

Daniel — Sun, 07 Nov 2021 19:44:23 +0000

I recently ran into an issue when trying to open documents in Microsoft Office apps in Windows. My Office apps are licensed via a Microsoft 365 license and the documents I wanted to open were stored in OneDrive for Business. However, when I tried to open the document in the desktop app, I received an error: Sorry, another account from your organization is already signed in on this computer. I was able to fix the issue, but it did take a few minutes of troubleshooting to figure it out. Read below how to easily get this error removed. I also created a video showing the solution that's embedded at the end! Another account from your organization While looking at an Office file in OneDrive in the browser, selecting to Open in Desktop App will then open the file via the Office app on your desktop. However, in my case I received an error when the Excel App in Windows tried to open the file. Sorry, another account from your organization is already signed in on this computer. The real confusing part is that the account was not listed in the Connected Services section. When I attempted to add OneDrive for Business with the correct account there in the Connected Services section, it gave me the same error. What's the Issue? This issue usually presents itself because the account has an issue with authentication or it has been too long since the last time the account has logged into Office. It simply needs to reauthenticate, but you have to do it in a specific way. Read on for the fix! Fixing the Error After several attempts at different methods to fix the issue, I remembered that selecting which account was signed in would change the accounts in the Connected Services section. So I selected the correct account in the Sign In menu on the top-right area when viewing the Accounts tab within the Office app. Once the correct account is selected, then the Account Error will show in yellow as seen below. The next step is to click the Fix me button within the Account Error box. Put in the login details for the account being used to access the document. Since everyone should also have two-factor authentication turned on for every login, that process will need to be followed too! Once logged in, click on the Try again button in the yellow box in the Connected Services section. This will refresh the services and list them there. Once all these steps have been followed, the document should now load successfully when selecting the Open in Desktop App link within the Office Online app. Watch the Video

Normally when the OneDrive sync client installed, you can control file behaviors via the Windows context menu. However, on the PC I logged into, those OneDrive menu items were not there when I selected a file. It was as if OneDrive wasn't installed at all. But OneDrive was installed!

Daniel — Mon, 17 Aug 2020 17:34:43 +0000

Microsoft has announced today that the end of Internet Explorer 11 support in Microsoft 365 will happen soon. Your organization needs to prepare now for this change. End of Internet Explorer 11 Support and sunset of Microsoft Edge Legacy As announced August 17th, 2020, the end of support within Microsoft 365 apps will be happening over the course of the next year. However, the first service to stop supporting Internet Explorer 11 (IE 11) is Microsoft Teams on November 30th, 2020. If your users are utilizing Teams using IE 11, they need to either switch to Microsoft Edge, another supported browser, or use Teams using the Windows application. Starting August 17th, 2021, all of Microsoft 365 applications will stop supporting IE 11. That includes SharePoint, OneDrive, and email via Outlook on the web. Workaround for utilizing IE 11 with Legacy Applications Your organization may have web applications that require the use of IE 11. If so, there is the new “IE mode” in Microsoft Edge. This will allow you to continue to work with the application using a current browser. The websites will need to be setup via policy within your organization to utilize IE mode, so work with your administrators to have your legacy web applications configured.

How to Increase Your OneDrive Storage Limit

Daniel — Thu, 16 Jan 2020 15:38:05 +0000

As your user's storage needs grow, they may find themselves needing more than the default storage allotment. Via the OneDrive Admin Center, Microsoft provides a way to increase the storage quota for your Office 365 tenant. However this change does not apply to existing users in your Office 365 tenant. So you may be asking: how do I increase my storage limit on OneDrive in Office 365? Read on! How do I check my OneDrive quota? In the video below, I show how a user can check their storage quota, as well as how you can check your Office 365 tenant quota. What is the capacity of OneDrive? Office 365's OneDrive comes with a default capacity quota of 1 terabyte (1TB) per user by default. You can increase the quota for users, as long as you meet the criteria specified by Microsoft in this article: OneDrive for Business service description How do I increase my storage limit on OneDrive? To update a user's storage quota, you need to use PowerShell. In this video I show you how to update your Office 365 tenant's OneDrive storage quota via the OneDrive admin center and via PowerShell. I then show you how to update a specific user's quota so that it inherits the tenant’s current storage quota. Export OneDrive URLs for All Users Also mentioned in the video is a script that you can use to get a list of all OneDrive URLs in your tenant. This script comes directly from Microsoft from here: Get a list of all user OneDrive URLs in your organization [sourcecode language=”plain”]Import-Module Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell</div> <div>$TenantUrl = Read-Host "Enter the SharePoint Online Tenant Admin Url"</div> <div>$LogFile = [Environment]::GetFolderPath("Desktop") + "\OneDriveSites.log"</div> <div>Connect-SPOService -Url $TenantUrl</div> <div>Get-SPOSite -IncludePersonalSite $true -Limit all -Filter "Url -like ‘-my.sharepoint.com/personal/'" | select Url | Out-File $LogFile -Force</div> <div>Write-Host "Done! File saved as $($LogFile)."[/sourcecode] Once you have a listing of all OneDrive URLs, you can run the set spo-site storage quota reset command for all users.
