LinkFixer Advanced version 5.3 or higher has the ability to allow multiple SharePoint Online IDs to combat throttling. In line with that, a CSV file containing unique SharePoint Online IDs can now be loaded for maximum efficiency and ease-of-use.


How to import multiple SharePoint Online IDs from a CSV file

  1. Download and open attached file "SharePoint Online IDs Import Template.csv." This will serve as your import file template.
  2. Specify Authentication method in column A.
    UsernamePassword - for basic non-MFA authentication.
    Office365NoConsent - for MFA-enabled accounts. This method will not be able to retain the "modified by" and "modified date" fields in files.
    Office365 - This is the preferred authentication method for MFA-enabled accounts. This will have the ability to retain the "modified by" and "modified date" fields in files.

  3. Enter the unique SharePoint Online IDs in column B
  4. Enter respective passwords in column C. Leave the password field empty for Office365 and Office365NoConsent authentication type.
