With Exchange 2019, Microsoft has introduced a new search engine: BigFunnel. This is the same engine that is used in Bing and in Exchange Online.
Unfortunately, sometimes, the search results are incomplete. While this might have different reasons, I am just looking at one prticular case here:
Incomplete search results are happening on OWA, i.e. this is an issue on the server, not on Outlook (the client)
The number of missing emails from the search results is visible in "BigFunnelNotIndexedCount"

The LetsEncrypt Root Certificate (DST Root CA X3) will expire on 30-Sep-2021. While there is a new Root Certificate available for a while, some devices and browsers might show an error after that date as they might not have got the new Root Certificate.
Here is the simplified overview:
Old LetsEncrypt chain:
DST Root CA X3 : Expires 30-Sep-2021
R3 (Intermediate): Expires 29-Sep-2021
New LetsEncrypt chain:
ISRG Root X1 : Expires 04-Jun 2035
R3 (Intermediate): Expires 15-Sep 2025

Sometimes, the default maximum message size (including attachments) in Exchange is not enough (30 MB is the standard). To increase this to 100 MB, do the following:
First check the current maximum size on all relevant Exchange components:
Get-TransportConfig | ft MaxSendSize, MaxReceiveSize
Get-ReceiveConnector | ft Name, MaxmessageSize
Get-SendConnector | ft Name, MaxMessageSize
Get-Mailbox Administrator |ft Name, MaxsendSize, MaxReceiveSize
Then set it to 100 MB for all components:

I have rarely the issue that all of a sudden, on some programs (for example Edge and Firefox) I can't see the top part of the Window anymore.
Preconditions for this to happen:
Multi screen (does never happen on single screen setups)
Happens only on the primary screen
Only when application is maximised
Only some applications are affected, not all (Microsoft Office apps are never affected): File Explorer, Edge, Firefox, Notepad and many others
What does not help:

Sometimes, it happens in my Outlook 2019 (connected to on-premise Exchange 2019), that I get an Office 365 Login prompt (although I do not have an Office 365 Account).
This might happen if the on-premise Exchange server is not reachable or too slow to respond.
To prevent this from happening, you can disable the Office 365 autodiscover via Registry. Just add the following key to the Windows Registry of the PC with the Outlook client:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\AutoDiscover

Azure Subscriptions are containers that hold your Resource Groups (RGs) and with that your Resources. It might make sense to have multiple subcriptions for separation of billing or management.
You can have multiple Subscriptions trust the same Azure Active Directory (AAD)
Each Subscription can only trust a single directory
Billing is done per subscription
Resources can be moved from one Subscription to another if both Subscriptions are in the same AAD Tenant

I am just diving into the world of the Cloud and I am getting to know Azure. I will write a couple of Blog posts on some basics of Azure. I will start with "Resource Groups" in Azure.
Resource Groups (RGs) are not really groups, they are containers. You can compare them to OUs (Organisational Units) in Active Directory, for example. The contain Azure Resources (e.g. Storage, VMs, VLANs etc.). As RGs are containers, this means the following:
A Resource must be member of a Resource Group, it Read more [...]
In Firefox 77 and newer, Mozilla has introduced an "enhanced" URL bar, called "Mega Bar". As soon as you click on it or it gets the focus, it pops out and gets bigger. It also creates a drop-down list with your last searches, the sites you last visited and search suggestions.
To many people, this is a big mess and they would like to disable it. Here is how to do it:
Type about:config in the URL bar. Accept the warning message.
Paste the following string into the config search:
browser.urlbar.disableExtendForTests

Unfortunately, Adobe is pushing hard to their Cloud Suite (Creative Cloud) and has disabled all download links to their CS6 suite. After some searching, I found the following 2 links still working (as of May 2020):
