Exporting a mailbox from Office 365 using the Compliance Center involves a series of steps. In this video, we’ll guide you through the process, from creating a content search to downloading the mailbox data. Let’s get started!

Step 1: Assign eDiscovery Manager Role

By default, a Global Administrator does not have all the permissions to export a mailbox to pst so that you need to assign eDiscovery Manager Role to yourself.

Step 2: Create a New Search

Once in the Compliance Center, click on ‘Content search’ in the left navigation pane.

Next, click on ‘New search’ to start the process.

Give your content search a name and description to easily identify it later. When you’re done, click ‘Next’.

In the Locations section, turn on ‘Exchange Mailboxes’. Click ‘Choose users, groups, or teams’ to select the mailbox you want to export. Once selected, click ‘Done’, then ‘Next’.

Here, you can define search conditions. Leave this blank to export the entire mailbox or customize based on criteria like date or subject. Click ‘Next’ when ready.

Review your search settings, then click ‘Submit’. Wait for the search to complete, refreshing the page until the status changes to ‘Completed’.

Once completed, click on the search you created in the ‘Content search’ section.

Step 3: Export the Search Results
Click ‘Actions’ and then select ‘Export Results’ to begin the export process.

Choose ‘All items, including ones that have unrecognized format’ and ‘One PST file for each mailbox’. Then click ‘Export’.

Go to the Export tab in Content search and wait for the export to complete. Refresh the status periodically—it may take some time depending on the mailbox size

Step 4: Download the PST File
Once the status is ‘Completed’, click ‘Download results’. The eDiscovery Export Tool will launch. Enter the export key found on the export page and choose the download location.

Click ‘Start’ to begin the download. When finished, navigate to your download folder to access the PST file. And that’s how you export a mailbox using the Microsoft 365 Compliance Center!.

Ever hit ‘Send’ on an email and realized you made a mistake? Don’t worry! In Microsoft Outlook, you can recall that email before it’s too late.”

Choose ‘Delete unread copies’ if you want to simply remove the email. If you need to correct it, select the option to replace it with a new message.
Click ‘OK’ to proceed. Outlook will attempt to recall the email from recipients’ inboxes. If successful, you’ll receive a confirmation message.”
“Keep in mind, the recall will only work if the recipient hasn’t opened the email yet, and if both of you are using Microsoft Exchange within the same organization. If not, the recall might not succeed.

Managing eDiscovery permissions in Microsoft Purview is crucial for compliance, legal, and data security needs. Today, we’ll walk you through assigning eDiscovery permissions in the Microsoft Purview compliance portal.

First, sign in to the compliance portal https://purview.microsoft.com/  using an account that has the necessary permissions to assign roles. You must be a member of the Organization Management role group or have the Role Management role.

In the left pane, click on the Settings.

Then Role groups.

If you use the old Compliance portal, navigate to Roles & scopes and select Permissions. On the Permissions page, under Microsoft Purview solutions, click on ‘Roles’.

If you don’t see Role groups or Permissions, it means you are missing the Role Management role.

On the Role groups page, find and select ‘eDiscovery Manager’. This is the primary role group for managing eDiscovery tasks.

In the eDiscovery Manager pane, you can assign users to two subgroups: eDiscovery Manager and eDiscovery Administrator.

To assign a user as an eDiscovery Manager, click ‘Choose users’ in Manage eDiscovery Manager,

then choose ‘Select users’. Search for the user you want to add, select them, and click ‘Next’.

To assign a user as an eDiscovery Administrator, repeat the process but choose the Administrator role group. Administrators have broader access and can manage any case within the organization.

Once all users are added, review your changes, and click ‘Save’. Your selected users now have the assigned eDiscovery permissions.

With these steps, you can effectively manage eDiscovery permissions in Microsoft Purview, ensuring your organization’s compliance and data security needs are met. For more details on roles and permissions, explore the Microsoft Purview compliance portal.

When setting up a new PC with Windows, Microsoft often encourages you to sign in with a Microsoft account. However, it is possible to create a local account instead. Here’s how you can do it:

During Initial Setup

1. Start the Setup Process: Turn on your new PC and start the Windows setup process.
2. Connect to the Internet: If prompted, connect to the internet. This step may vary depending on the Windows version. Sometimes, disconnecting from the internet can help force the local account option.
3. Choose ‘Set up for personal use’: When asked how you’ll be using your device, select “Set up for personal use” and click “Next.”
4. Sign-in Options:
5. In Let’s add your Microsoft account, click on Sign in options.
6. Windows 10: On the “Sign in with Microsoft” screen, select the “Offline Account” option (usually found at the bottom left or somewhere on the screen). Microsoft might try to convince you to use a Microsoft account. Select “No” or “Skip for now.”
7. Windows 11 Home: This might require a workaround since Windows 11 Home usually forces a Microsoft account login. Disconnect from the internet to trigger the local account setup option. When you see the “Let’s connect you to a network” screen, press Shift + F10 to open a command prompt, type OOBE\BYPASSNRO, and press Enter. The PC will restart and allow you to set up without internet, enabling the local account option.
8. User: no@thankyou.com, Pass: yre45ihvcde4tuiioyytrt5345667iiijjhhgfdcb, Account’s banned, Proceed to create local account.
9. Windows 11 Enterprise -> Domain Join instead. Use Workgroup as domain. It’s about the only way to create a local account.
10. Create a Local Account:
    • Enter a username for your local account.
    • Create a password (optional but recommended for security).
    • Follow the remaining setup instructions.

Situation: None of user can access the time clock, TrusShift network device.

Solution 1: Reset the network device by unplugging the power cord and plugging it back in.

Solution 2: The device might not be assigned an IP address or could be on a different network. Try the following:

• Ping the device if you know its IP address.

• In the DHCP settings, ensure the device is on the same network and that an IP address has been assigned to it.

• Verify that the DHCP settings on the network device are set to “Auto” or are configured for static IP.

Solution 3: An IP address conflict might be preventing access to the network device. For example, the IP address 192.168.1.101 might already be in use by another device.

It is recommended to use static IP addresses to avoid conflicts.

Solution 4: The issue could be due to a bad cable or the device being too far away to obtain an IP address from the DHCP server. Use a laptop to test it.
