Enable Syncing of Ublock Whitelist and Settings

I’ve been a big fan and user of Ublock (and now uBlock Origin) for a while now, but hated having seperate whitelists on all my devices. I recently found out you can indeed sync those lists if you sync settings within your Chrome or Firefox browser!

Simply right-click on the uBlock icon and click on Options

And on the first page that pops up, you’ll see this option which you should check off:

On your various settings, rules, and whitelist pages you should now see these arrows:

Click the up arrow to upload your current list and then on your other devices, you can enable the setting and hit the down arrow to download that list. And you’re all set!

Sharepoint Error – User Not in Directory

Had an odd one today. An internal user with permissions to a Sharepoint site was getting the error “user not in directory”. Searching Google comes up with many different options and reasons for this error, but no concise cause / solution.

The user was able to login to Office365 webmail normally without any errors and was had a Sharepoint license for several weeks and hadn’t reset their password recently.

Eventually, I had the user un-invited and then re-invited and it worked!

Trouble With Running Microsoft eDiscovery Export Tool

I ran into this one yesterday. I was attempting to export a PST file with the findings of a compliance search within Office365. I couldn’t run it on my computer, nor the server where I was offloading the PST to. The error I got was simply “Make sure the export content hasn’t expired”.

Helpful. It obviously hadn’t expired.

Eventually I did the following: First, I started using Internet Explorer to do the export. Next, I found this Microsoft help doc that stated to add the following websites to the trusted or intranet zone in IE.

*.outlook.com, *.office365.com, *.sharepoint.com and *.onmicrosoft.com are added to the Local intranet zone trusted sites.

Voila! That did the job and my PST downloaded nicely.
