Q7500034: I want to use our Offcie365 account to send out e-mail alerts. However, we do not want to use OAuth2 as it is very complex to configure. Is there a way to use password authentication with Office365?
Yes, it is possible. Use smtp-legacy.office365.com on port 587 using STARTTLS.
Please note that the default security will not allow you to, and you'll end up with an error from the smtp-legacy.office365.com server saying:
535: 5.7.139 Authentication unsuccessful, user is locked by your organization's security defaults policy
For a solution, see: FAQ #7500036

To do so:
Open Microsoft Entra Admin Center;
In the search bar, search for 'Tenant Properties' and open it;
Click on 'Manage security defaults' and select 'disabled'
You will now be able to use smtp-legacy.office365.com on port 587 using STARTTLS security on your password.
Network Monitor > Alert Notifications - E-mail Q7500080: I want to change all Alert E-mail Notification settings for multiple Checks. What is the best way to do this?
Use the 'Copy' and 'Paste Properties' commands in the Manager to copy Alert Notification settings of one single Check and paste them onto multiple selected Checks or a selected Folder.
This way, you can configure the Alert Notification settings (including Groups and individual Recipients) for multiple checks.
If you paste the Check's properties to a selected Folder, all Checks in that Folder will receive the new settings.
