    Regarding the Office 365 Network Analysis Tool, are you aware of them enhancing the reporting ability? Right now, it is great that you have all this information collected. It is horrible that need to click on tabs, etc to get to the details. I was happy to see the "Test Audit Report" option on the results, but that doesn't provide a comprehensive report that can be easily saved/documented for a point-in-time analysis for later review, etc. Some pages have 'view text' options, etc. Would be just nice to have a true single usable report page that can be preserved for later inspection.
    Saving as MHT doesn't even help.

    Thanks.
