Method 1: Install KB5007253 update.

Microsoft claims that printing errors 0x00000709, 0x0000007c & 0x000006e4 are resolved with KB5007253 update. So, before proceeding to the methods below, download and install manually the KB5007253 from Microsoft Update Catalog and see if the problem is fixed.

Method 2. Fix Network Printing Error 0x00000709 in Registry.

1. Open Command prompt as Administrator.
2. In Command Prompt give the following command according your Windows 10 version:

Windows 10 versions 2004, 20H2, 21H1 and 21H2:

• reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Policies\Microsoft\FeatureManagement\Overrides /v 713073804 /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

Windows 10 v1909:

• reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Policies\Microsoft\FeatureManagement\Overrides /v 1921033356 /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

Windows v1809 & Server 2019.

• reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Policies\Microsoft\FeatureManagement\Overrides /v 3598754956 /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

3. Close command prompt and restart your PC.

This is the change before:

This is the charge after and restart:

Method 3. Fix error 0x00000709 in Network Printing by Overriding Printer Installation Restrictions.

Windows updates released August 10, 2021 and later will, by default, require administrative privilege to install drivers. To work around this behavior and allow users to install network printer drivers, do the following:

1. Open Command prompt as Administrator.
2. In command prompt, give the following command:

• reg add “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Printers\PointAndPrint” /v RestrictDriverInstallationToAdministrators /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

3. Restart your PC and install the network Printer.

This is the change before.

This is the

4. After installation open command prompt as admin again and give this command, to ensure that only administrators can install printer drivers:

reg add “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Printers\PointAndPrint” /v RestrictDriverInstallationToAdministrators /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

Method 4: Edit The Group Policy And System’s Registry

Since Windows 11 22H2 the default connection method has changed, and you will need to alter a Group Policy Editor setting to resolve the issue.

If you have a printer server or host, you will need to make changes to that system as well. If you have a network-shared printer, then only apply the client-side configurations.

On the Host

1. Click Windows and type GPEdit.

Open Group Policy Editor

2. Select Edit Group Policy and to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Printers.

3. Open Configure RPC Connection Settings and set it to Enabled.

4. Set the dropdown of Protocol to Use for Outgoing RPC Connections to RPC Over Named Pipes.

Enable Configure RPC Connection Settings and Set its Protocol to RPC Over Named Pipes

5. Open Configure RPC Listener Settings and set it to Enabled.

Open Configure RPC Listner Settings

6. Set the protocol to Choose RPC Over Named Pipes and TCP.

7. Click Windows and search for Registry Editor.

8. Right-click on it and select Run as Administrator.

9. Navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Printers\PointAndPrint

10. Right-click on PointAndPrint and select New > DWORD (32-bit) Value.

11. Enter the name as RestrictDriverInstallationToAdministrators and set its value to 0.

Create a RestrictDriverInstallationToAdministrators Value and Set it to 0

12. Go to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print

Enter the name as RpcAuthnLevelPrivacyEnabled and set its value to 0.

13. Right-click on Print and select New > DWORD (32-bit) Value.

14. Enter the name as RpcAuthnLevelPrivacyEnabled and set its value to 0.

Start printer troubleshooting: Press Win + R and enter msdt.exe /id PrinterDiagnostic to run the printer troubleshooter. 

Create a RpcAuthnLevelPrivacyEnabled Value and Set it to 0

15. Restart your system and check if the issue is resolved.

Method 5. Uninstall KB5006670 & KB5007186 updates.

The first method for solving printing or network printer installation problems is to remove KB5006670 & KB5007186 (if installed). To do that:

1. Open the Run utility by pressing the Windows + R keys on your keyboard.

You’ve got a MacBook Pro that was returned or purchased secondhand, but when you try to reset it to factory settings, you’re hit with this message: This Mac is linked to an Apple ID. Enter the Apple ID and password that was previously used.

Frustrating, right?

Let me guide you through what’s happening and how to resolve it. This is Apple’s Activation Lock, a built-in security feature designed to keep your device secure. It prevents unauthorized access by linking the Mac to the original owner’s Apple ID. Without those credentials, the MacBook can’t be reset or used.

But don’t worry, here’s what you can do.

Option 1: Contact the previous owner. They’ll need to remove the MacBook from their Apple ID account.

1. Log in to iCloud.com.

2. Two, go to Find My iPhone or Find My Mac.

3. select the device.

4. click Lock to unlock or erase Mac.

Once they’ve done this, the MacBook will no longer be linked to their Apple ID, and you can reset it.

Option 2: gather proof of ownership.

If contacting the previous owner isn’t an option, your next step is proving you’re the rightful owner. Look for the original receipt or proof of purchase. It should include the MacBook serial number. With this in hand, contact Apple Support or visit an Apple Store. Explain your situation, and they’ll verify the details. If all checks out, they can help unlock the device.

One important thing to note, avoid third arty services or online claims that they can bypass activation lock.

These are often scams and can make the situation worse or even damage the device.

A Windows 11 desktop taking 15 minutes to boot up is usually caused by a combination of hardware and software issues. Here are the most common factors and fixes:

1. Too Many Startup Programs: Excess startup programs can delay booting. To check and manage them, go to Task Manager > Startup tab and disable unnecessary programs from launching at startup.
2. Outdated or Corrupted Drivers: Outdated drivers, especially graphics or storage drivers, can slow down the boot process. Open Device Manager, locate and right-click on hardware components, and select “Update driver.” It’s particularly important to update your graphics card, storage, and motherboard drivers.
3. Full or Fragmented Hard Drive: If your system drive is nearly full or fragmented, it can significantly slow down boot times. Check disk space by opening Settings > System > Storage, and free up space if needed. If you’re using an HDD (hard disk drive), run a disk defragmentation from Defragment and Optimize Drives.
4. Windows Update Issues: Unfinished updates or errors during updates can cause delays. Go to Settings > Windows Update and ensure that all updates have been installed. Sometimes, an update reset can help, which can be done via Command Prompt with the command:shellCopy codenet stop wuauserv net stop bits net stop cryptsvc ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old net start wuauserv net start bits net start cryptsvc
5. Corrupted System Files: System file corruption can cause various boot issues. To check and fix, open Command Prompt as an administrator and run:shellCopy codesfc /scannow This command will scan and repair corrupted system files.
6. Malware or Viruses: Malware can slow down boot times. Run a full scan with Windows Defender or a third-party antivirus tool to check for infections.
7. Slow or Failing Hard Drive: If you’re using an HDD instead of an SSD, consider upgrading to an SSD for much faster boot times. If the HDD is old or failing, it might be worth testing it using a disk health tool (like CrystalDiskInfo) to check for any errors or signs of failure.
8. Fast Startup Feature: Though Fast Startup is generally useful, it can cause issues on some systems. To toggle this feature, go to Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Power Options > Choose what the power button does > Change settings that are currently unavailable and uncheck Turn on fast startup.

These steps address most causes of slow boot times on Windows 11. Starting with Task Manager to disable unnecessary startup programs and running checks on hardware health and drivers can provide immediate insights and improvements.

The error you’re encountering, “server or share name specified in the path may be invalid,” typically occurs when the Exchange server is unable to access the network share where you’re trying to save the PST file. This could be due to a number of reasons, such as incorrect permissions, an inaccessible network path, or incorrect formatting of the file path.

Here are some steps to troubleshoot and resolve the issue:

1. Verify the Network Share Path:

• Make sure that the path you’re using is correct and accessible from the Exchange server.
• The path should be in UNC format (e.g., \\ServerName\ShareName\filename.pst).
• Test the Path:
  • From the Exchange server, open File Explorer and try to manually navigate to the path.
  • Ensure that the server name and share name are correct and that you can create a file in that location.

2. Check Permissions:

• Ensure that the “Exchange Trusted Subsystem” group has Read/Write permissions on the network share.
• To set permissions:
  • On the file server, navigate to the shared folder.
  • Right-click the folder, choose Properties, and go to the Sharing tab.
  • Click Advanced Sharing and then Permissions.
  • Add Exchange Trusted Subsystem with Full Control permissions.
• Verify that the share permissions and the NTFS permissions both allow access.

3. Use the Exchange Server’s FQDN:

• Sometimes, using the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the server in the UNC path can resolve the issue.
• Example: Instead of \\FileServer\PSTExports\UserMailbox.pst, use \\FileServer.Domain.com\PSTExports\UserMailbox.pst.

4. Ensure the Exchange Server Has Access to the Share:

• If you’re using multiple Exchange servers, ensure that the server processing the request has access to the network share.
• You can force the export request to run on a specific server by specifying the -MailboxServer parameter when using PowerShell:powershellCopy codeNew-MailboxExportRequest -Mailbox "UserMailbox" -FilePath "\\FileServer\PSTExports\UserMailbox.pst" -MailboxServer "ExchangeServerName"

5. Test the Path with PowerShell:

• You can try running a simple command to test if the Exchange server can write to the share:powershellCopy codeTest-Path -Path "\\FileServer\PSTExports\test.txt"
• You can also try creating a test file:powershellCopy codeNew-Item -Path "\\FileServer\PSTExports\test.txt" -ItemType "file"
• If these fail, the issue is likely with permissions or the network path.

6. Check for Typos and Format Errors:

• Ensure there are no typos or extra spaces in the path.
• Double-check the share name and folder structure.

7. Restart the Exchange Server:

• If you’ve verified the above steps and are still encountering issues, try restarting the Exchange server. This can sometimes resolve permission or network issues.

8. Consider Local Export:

• As a last resort, you could export the PST file to a local drive on the Exchange server and then manually move the file to your desired location:powershellCopy codeNew-MailboxExportRequest -Mailbox "UserMailbox" -FilePath "D:\Exports\UserMailbox.pst"
• After the export, you can manually copy the PST file to the network share.

By following these troubleshooting steps, you should be able to resolve the issue and successfully export the PST file from Exchange 2016. If the problem persists, double-check all network configurations, or consider engaging your network or system administrator to assist with the file share setup.

Q: Recently, when I click on a link people sent to me n Microsoft Teams, it always redirects to https://statics.teams.cdn.office.net/evergreen-assets/safelinks/1/atp-safelinks.html. Why?

A: The link you provided appears to be related to Microsoft’s Safe Links feature, part of Microsoft Defender for Office 365. Safe Links is designed to protect users from malicious links in emails and other Office 365 communications, such as Teams. When you click a link in a Teams message, email, or document, Safe Links checks the URL for any potential threats, such as phishing or malware. If the link is safe, it will redirect you to the intended destination. If it’s not, Safe Links blocks access or warns you about the potential danger.

If you find that your Teams links are consistently redirecting through Safe Links, it could be due to the following reasons:

1. Organization Policy: Your organization may have Safe Links enabled by default for all Office 365 applications, including Teams, to provide an extra layer of security.
2. Malicious Link Detection: Safe Links is checking the URL to ensure it’s safe before allowing access, even if the link is legitimate.
3. URL Rewriting: Safe Links may rewrite the URLs to route through its service for tracking and security purposes, which is why you see the Safe Links URL instead of the original one.

If this behavior is causing issues or if you believe it’s unnecessary for certain links, you can reach out to your IT administrator. They can adjust the Safe Links policies based on your organization’s security requirements.

Hi everyone! Today, we’re diving into troubleshooting Microsoft Teams issues. If you’re experiencing problems with Teams, don’t worry. We’ve got you covered with some easy solutions. Let’s get started!

1. Check Your Internet Connection

First things first, make sure your internet connection is stable. Teams relies on a strong connection to function properly. Try resetting your router or switching to a different network to see if that resolves the issue.

2. Update Microsoft Teams

Outdated software can cause problems. To update Teams, click on your profile picture in the top right corner of the app and select ‘Check for updates.’ Teams will download and install any available updates automatically.

3. Clear the Teams Cache

Sometimes clearing the Teams cache can fix various issues. Press Windows + R, type %appdata%\Microsoft\Teams for Classic Teams, and press Enter. If you are using new Teams, type %userprofile%\appdata\local\Packages\MSTeams_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Microsoft\MSTeams. Delete everything in this folder to remove old settings and cached data.

4. Verify Permissions

Check if Teams has the necessary permissions. Go to Settings, click on ‘Privacy,’ and ensure that Teams has access to your camera, microphone, and other relevant permissions.

5. Reinstall Microsoft Teams

If none of the above steps work, try reinstalling Teams. Uninstall the app from your device, then download the latest version from the Microsoft Teams download page and reinstall it.

Getting an error “The file is too large for the destination file system” when copying a large file to your USB drive? This common issue has a simple explanation.

Most USB drives use the FAT32 file system, which has a 4 GB file size limit. If your file is larger, you’ll hit a wall.

To fix this, reformat the drive to NTFS or exFAT, which supports larger files. Remember to back up your data first!

And that’s it! Now you can transfer large files without any problems. Thanks for watching!
