Office365 constantly popping up Basic Authentication dialog instead of Two Factor
We run into this often, so thought it would be good to share if anyone else runs into this.Older Office 365 accounts are *NOT* set up to do modern authentication by default. So if the tenant was created prior to the change of default, you must do it manually. Otherwise, Outlook will keep trying basic authentication despite you having enabled two factor authentication.To do this through the GUI you can go here: If you [...]

Force a BIOS update for power adapter or battery issues
There's a cool trick one of our techs recently used to force the BIOS update when you can’t use a power adapter or the battery. Basically, you can target the .exe in command prompt followed by /forceit. For example, Inspiron_7500_Silver_5400_1.3.1.exe /forceit It will open the file and skip the power checks. Very useful for drain battery scenarios where BIOS needs to be updated to charge.

New Office 365 phishing tactics are difficult to spot but easy to prevent
We are seeing an increase in email phishing attempts, particularly with Office 365 users. Unlike old school, easy-to-spot, methods, there are new tactics that are much harder to spot. Fake encrypted emails The first of the two big ones are fake encrypted emails which require you to log in, much like real encrypted emails. The link itself goes to either a bad website (easier to spot), but some are more complicated. Some links [...]
