First question is it possible or not? I have tried to search a lot on this topic but does not find a way to achieve this. I know how to integrate task list with outlook but I want to integrate it with exchange server. Any help in this regard would be highly appreciated.
Yes, it is possible to integrate Sharepoint task list with exchange server.
You can follow the steps given below to perform the integration task:
Go to the SharePoint Central Administration website page.
Click Configuration Wizards on the Quick Launch.
Launch the farm configuration wizard.
Choose whether you want to opt into the Customer Experience Improvement Program (if offered as an option), and then click OK.
Click the Start the Wizard button.
Scroll to the bottom of the list of services, check the Work Management Service check box, and then click Next. (Note: you can also turn on Search Service from here and verify that User Profile Service is on, just check the boxes.)
Let the wizard finish. You can skip the site collection creation step, if you want.
No, there's no standard way how to do it. As you mentioned each user can connect task list to his Outlook as another task source.
In one project I created workflow activity that creates tasks in users' exchange profiles but they needed to set permissions for sharepoint service account. This permissions can not be set by group policies or Exchange admin. It must be done individually.

I am trying to implement a hardware busy light to show my Microsoft Teams presence so that my family to not enter the room I have the office while I am in a meeting. I am looking to implement something similar to:
https://www.eliostruyf.com/diy-building-busy-light-show-microsoft-teams-presence
https://blog.jongallant.com/2014/12/beakn-v0-1-diy-lync-status-light/ (older acticle - similar idea).
The only problem I have with this setup is that I cannot get the MS Teams status.
The best way to go is by using MS Graph Presence API but my problem is that this is a company account and I don't have (and there is no way I could have) and app in the main subscription granted with the required scope: Presence.Read.
So I tried different ideas but none worked in the end:
check local running processes
check if MS Teams exposes any local API
check if there is a CLI available
This seems a simple idea, I mean, I see the status right there now while I am typing this message, I could as well do an app that gets a screenshot of the taskbar and extract the status from the icon, but is that really the only option I have?
I think I found something interesting for you.
Go to
C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Teams
you'll find a file called logs.txt
In this file you see if your current state changed
(current state: Available -> DoNotDisturb)
I would write a script with php or VB (depends on your skills) that read that logs.txt file like every minute and check for the last "current state" line.
What those posts are doing (certainly the first one, I didn't check the 2nd one) is calling the Microsoft Graph, which has a "presence" endpoint to get a user's status. There's actually even a specific "/me" endpoint, to get your own personal preference (less access rights needed). See more about this here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/presence-get?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http
In order for this to work, as you've mentioned, you do need to have an Azure AD App registration. However, importantly, this will only require "delegated" permission (i.e. only permission from the single user, you, to access just data for that single user, you). As a result, you can use "delegated" and not "Application" permissions, which means that it does -not- require Admin consent for the tenant.
It -does- require and Azure Add Application though, at the risk of stating the obvious. While you don't have tenant admin rights, you need to see if you have Azure rights, just to create an application (you might have this anyway as a developer in your org). If you don't even have this, you can sign up for an M365 Developer account, and use that tenant. Importantly - the application does't have to be in the same tenant. If it's not, it's just a simple multi-tenant app, like any 3rd party Azure AD-backed application is.
Is there any way to embed a private report (i.e. Link-Sharing set to OFF) in a site where the user does not have to be signed in to a Google account which has view permissions on the report? I understand from this piece of documentation that a private report can be viewed in an iframe only if the viewer is currently signed into a Google account which the report has been shared with.
This is not a feasible option in this case, and it comes down to two factors:
The client requires complete security of their reports.
The client, due to security reasons within their company, cannot create or use a Google account.
This means the only solution is for a 'service' type Google account to be created which authenticates with Google from within the application side of things, without relying on user input.
I guess that the document that loads within the iframe looks for a Google authentication cookie in the browser session of the user in order to authenticate access, so this seems like something that cannot be injected by the server or automated on the client (correct me if I'm wrong). Plus any kind of attempt to script a login through the iframe will result in some cross domain issues.
So, if there is some sort of official authentication technique which can achieve what I'm looking for, and have managed to overlook, it would be great if somebody could point that out! If not, if anyone has any ideas on a less neat and tidy way of doing this, I'd be equally as grateful!
Thanks
(coming late to the party, I'm aware, but stumbled upon this myself just now and believe I found an answer:)
When embedding a report, you are able to send a token via their community connectors to give specific viewing rights depending on who that is on the platform. I guess this wasn't available at the time posting this question, but sounds like a viable option now - read more: https://developers.google.com/datastudio/solution/viewers-cred-with-3p-credentials
You can not share an active/live dashboard but you can deliver a password protected version of you report via PDF. To the farthest left of the "Edit" button you´ll see the "Download Report" feature.
We're currently evaluating SAP Business Objects XI 3 for a front end reporting solution, but I'm not happy that we will need to create a new set of logins that will be managed independently from our existing website. We have an authentication API that our various applications all hook in to, so we effectively get single sign on, and single account management.
Is there a way to write a custom authentication plugin for SAP BOE 3? I've googled for information and have come up empty handed. Links to documents would be handy also.
The solution that we use for this problem is to have a seperate password management page built into the HR space that will change all the user's passwords to the same thing. So there is one input for username and pass that changes the global password for a user and then it runs through and changes all the different SAP ones that are needed.
Not really the answer you are looking for, but it is somewhat of a solution.
So I have my little Sharepoint single server farm all setup and everything was running pretty smoothly until I noticed this happening last week:
Every time someone logs in, they get logged in as "System Account" instead of "Domain\User"
I've done some extensive searching on here and Google, but the only solution that I came up with was that it was an App Pool Identity problem
Any suggestions?

EDIT:

I just wanted to say for the sake of anyone Googling this that here is how I fixed it:
In the Administration Page, navigate your way to Farm Credentials.
From there look at your Farm Account in the drop down menu, and make sure that user is set to a profile with enough privileges. Mine was set to NT\AUTHORITY or SYSTEM\NETWORK (I can't remember which; I've since stopped working with Sharepoint) and I changed it to DOMAIN\USER.
After restarting Sharepoint and IIS everything worked and all the users were logging it with DOMAIN\USER instead of "System Account"
Sounds like you are on the right track. I would first check application pool security account. Is it possible that you selected a domain group that contains all of your users?
Also, after actions that Rich Bennema provide, maybe need to perform issreset to applay changes.
I want to make an application witch involves logging into google. It is basically a small application to always have your gmail with you without always having to go to the web browser and log in. Basically what I want to do is, when the person signs into their google account (or the page url changes) I want the webbrowser to refresh and go to a new point in the form and create an animation using a timer. I dont need help with the animation, I just need to know how to link it together with the person signing into google. And also, If it's possible I would like to have the person log in without the actual google web interface, but with 2 textboxes and a button. I am using Visual Studio 2008 and help with my application would be greatly appreciated!
One of the great things about GMail is that it gives you Pop3 access to the mailbox. Your application should be able to use Pop3 to login to the mailbox directly and not require the user to use the google web page (or any web page) at all.
This would be much more secure and fault tolerant than highjacking a browser session or scraping a web page for emails (as your application would break as soon as google updated the gmail app or the user changed their preferences).
You should be able to find numerous Pop3 tutorials, libraries and samples on the net (and most probably here on SO).
If you still insist to use the web browser control, you should investigate crafting your own HTTP-Post query to the page that takes the GMail login. Once you craft the correct message (including the user's username and password as the appropriate POST variables) you should be able to login directly.
Finally, you might want to have a look around on code.google.com as I'm certain this has been done before and you will most likely be able to find some sample code (whichever way you go).
Good Luck!
