365 Online Archive Not Archiving

You've enabled Online Archiving for a 365 user and a few days go by and the user complains of a lack of space. This can be solved by manually starting the archiving process in PowerShell, this process is normally on a weekly schedule.

In PowerShell run: Connect-ExchangeOnline

Once logged in run: Start-ManagedFolderAssistant -Identity "user@domain.com"

If you don't have the Connect-ExchangeOnline command run the following in admin PowerShell. I usually have this in a connection script so the module stays up to date.

Install-Module -Name ExchangeOnlineManagement
Update-Module -Name ExchangeOnlineManagement
Import-Module ExchangeOnlineManagement; Get-Module ExchangeOnlineManagement
Connect-ExchangeOnline -ShowProgress $true

Tapo app keeps saying, You have viewed the live video for 5 minutes without any operation. Continue the viewing?

If you are getting the popup "You have viewed the live video for 5 minutes without any operation. Continue the viewing?" in the Tapo app you need to change some settings.

In the settings for the app.
Turn on "Allow background usage", "Allow background data usage", Some versions of android have a setting for battery usage set this to "Unrestricted" for the Tapo app.

Different versions of Android call this different things, but the app being restricted is what causes the problem so just have a look through the settings in the "App info" option..
