Joe - What Brian said is correct. Also, I can state that we have had a mix of E1, E3, and E5 licenses for our users. All users are mastered from on-prem AD, and then synced to O365 via Azure AD Connect. No "Cloud-only" accounts except for a couple of oddball exceptions. Recently (within the

When you look with Windows utilities you will see the actual user. Office probably uses what name is defined if you click file options. The name used to personalize office. Check there of you find Jack. [image: Inline image 1] On Wed, Mar 1, 2017 at 10:27 PM, David L Herrick

Agreed. Why did this happen and who of all the resident clients were affected and why? Curious that so many of their client sites/services were affected by this as much as they were. S3 has over a dozen more sites over the USA. Is this an issue of redundancy failing, or clients not

I have to say, what surprised me most about this outage was the lack of failover to alternate datacenters for some pretty big names. I have no idea how this works in AWS, but in Azure it’s fairly trivial; I would expect the same of AWS. From: listsad...@lists.myitforum.com

It may not be the last person who saved. It will be the person that did not close the file properly - lost network connection, whatever. So the temp file sits out there until manually deleted and handing out bogus info. Took a look and found an example the word file is not currently open by

I will say I have noticed this for years and never really figured it out. It may have been the last person who saved the file but I'm not ready to say for sure that's what it was. Whats really funny is we have one admin who uses libreoffice and it still shows as him occasionally so I don't

This is strange. We use Word 2010, and we have one document that a dozen people or so share. Now, here's the weird part - if Joe has the file open, and I go to open it, it says that "Jack has the file open". It doesn't say "Joe", it says the name of a former employee. Mind you, this former
