New Blog | Migrate ADAL apps to MSAL with enhanced insights
By NehaGoel
We’re pleased to announce significant updates to the Sign-ins workbook in the Microsoft Entra admin center, a crucial tool for organizations transitioning from Azure Active Directory Authentication Libraries (ADAL) to Microsoft Authentication Libraries (MSAL). These updates aim to streamline the ADAL migration process by providing comprehensive insights into your ADAL-application-related data.
Why is this Important?
We announced ADAL end of life in June 2020 and stopped supporting any security updates as of June 2023—which means applications using ADAL can’t utilize the latest security features, leaving them vulnerable to future security threats. We strongly recommend migrating any application using ADAL to MSAL to improve the security posture and resilience of authentication and authorization of your client applications.
MSAL supports the latest security features for Microsoft Entra ID like managed identity, Continuous Access Evaluation (CAE), passkeys, and many more. The updated Sign-ins workbook is an essential tool in this transition, providing the necessary insights and data to make informed decisions to execute migration.
What’s new in the Sign-ins workbook?
The Sign-ins workbook is redesigned for admins needing a centralized and more detailed view of applications using ADAL within their tenant. These additional insights can help them identify, investigate, and validate the ADAL applications to successfully migrate to MSAL.
Here’s what you can expect with the latest enhancements:
Comprehensive sign-in log aggregation: The workbook now consolidates logs from various types of sign-in events, including interactive, non-interactive, and service principal sign-ins.
Enhanced data visualization: We updated the report with new aggregated metrics to enable an all-up view of sign-ins across ADAL applications. To aid in your specific analytical needs, the workbook supports the application of custom filters and queries. This flexibility enables you to focus on the information that matters most to your ADAL migration efforts.
Integration with Microsoft Entra recommendations: You can now directly access this Sign-Ins workbook from the ADAL to MSAL recommendation page to dive deep into the list of ADAL applications listed on the recommendation details page. To use the workbooks for Microsoft Entra ID, you need a Microsoft Entra ID tenant with a P1 license.

Business Central: Slow Change Dimension
Hi folks,
I need to apply a Slowly Changing Dimension (SCD) using Azure Databricks with data from an on-premise Business Central database. I want to build a medallion architecture.
I am bringing the tables to the bronze level by selecting data incrementally using the field _systemModifiedAt. For building the silver level, I want to perform a Merge using the field _systemId. Is this possible? Specifically, is _systemId a unique identifier for every record in all the tables of Business Central, allowing me to apply a Merge for SCD?
When a record changes in Business Central, does it produce a new record in the database table with the same _systemId but with updated information?
Many thanks!
Jorge.

Changing Dates in a Column … and more lol
I wanted to change the date format in a column. There are a few issues; first is that presently, the column that contains dates, also has a time in each entry. So, I do not know how to remove the times, if they can be at all. Second, is that the date is presently not showing as yyyy-mm-dd. I followed the prompts to changing them to that, however it di not happen (!?) Is it because there is a time involved? There are 5000 rows, so I cannot do this manually. All suggestions and definitely a walk through would be awesome. Thank you.

Announcing quarantine release integration in MDO hunting experience!!
We are excited to introduce the new quarantine release integration within Microsoft Defender for Office 365 as part of the hunting experience. This enhancement allows Security Operators (SecOps) to address false positives more efficiently and with greater flexibility in Microsoft Defender for Office 365.
With this new capability, SecOps can now move quarantined messages to Inbox across hunting experiences – Threat Explorer, Advanced Hunting, Email summary panel, Email Entity Page, and custom detection.
SecOps team members can act on both single and quarantine messages in bulk. To act on a single message, use the Email Entity page, to act on multiple messages use Threat Explorer, Advanced hunting, custom detection rules in Defender XDR.
The previous workflow for false positive triage was cumbersome and required SecOps to go through approximately 5 different steps and switch tabs from hunting surfaces like Threat explorer and Advanced hunting. With this new functionality, these extra steps are no longer needed and SecOps can quickly release messages from where they are without losing context. This also allows SecOps teams to define and better filter on messages with custom queries and take release action directly from Threat explorer and Advanced hunting.
Additionally, SecOps can carry out a bulk quarantine release operation on more than 100 messages asynchronously. For best result, release remediation should be done in batches of 50,000 or fewer.
Some examples of how Threat explorer, email entity page/ email summary panel, Advanced hunting and API can deal with false positives effectively are given below.
SecOps can search for a False positive URL in threat explorer find related Quarantined messages and directly Move to inbox/release from Quarantine – while in Threat explorer
SecOps can search for a False positive URL in Advanced hunting that have been blocked/ Quarantined, find all messages quarantined based on the URL and threat type and directly trigger Move to inbox/release from Quarantine – while using Advance hunting in Microsoft Defender XDR.
EmailEvents
| where ThreatTypes contains “Phish” and LatestDeliveryLocation contains “Quarantine”
| join EmailUrlInfo on NetworkMessageId
| where Url in ( ‘http://contoso.com/.i‘)
| project Timestamp,NetworkMessageId,RecipientEmailAddress,Subject,DeliveryAction,LatestDeliveryLocation,Url,UrlCount, ReportId
SecOps can act on the quarantine release from Email entity page and Email Summary Panel –
Click on the Take actions button from the top right corner of the email entity page and this will open the Action wizard. Follow the steps to trigger “move to inbox/ release “action. Go to the Action center to view and approve your automated investigation and remediation tasks – Microsoft Defender XDR | Microsoft Learn.
Quarantine release through custom detection rules-
Email action with Microsoft Defender for Office 365 is natively integrated with custom detections in Microsoft Defender XDR. This means SecOps can easily write sophisticated kql queries to find any messages which got quarantined incorrectly and respond to these events and take release / move to inbox action even automatically. Please learn more about custom detection here.

Check out our documentation for more information on the email entity page and related actions.
Track email move and delete actions centrally in Action center

Figuring the best way to use SUMIFS/DSUM with dates and criteria
Hi Everyone, I’m currently working on a spreadsheet for my job. The goal of the current equation is to look at the criteria of the columns and give a total based on a certain month and Species of wood. (For example I want to find the total number of Pop + RO or Stock at 1 for the month of April.)
I have figured out how to find the total for April which was the formula “=SUMIFS(F2:F10834,C2:C10834, “>=” &J4,C2:C10834, “<=” &EOMONTH(J4,0))” but when I add another criteria Ex, “=SUM(SUMIFS(F2:F10834,I$2:I$1048576, 1,C2:C10834,”>=”&J4,C2:C10834,”<=”&EOMONTH(J4,0)))” the equation doesn’t work. What is going wrong where this fails. I also tried to use DSUM but couldn’t figure out how it works. What formula would be my best bet in figuring this out. The 1 and 0 (I column) which is what I’m trying to figure.

Viewing Form results via Teams
In the ‘New Teams’ app I can create a channel tab for an existing MS Form, and select the option to “show results”. This allows everybody in a team to review the form submissions. But unless I’m missing something, there’s no option to view the results in Excel. Teams only shows a stylised summary of the responses via pie charts etc. We have to log into Forms in a web browser in order to get the Excel results. But there’s no direct link in the Teams view to the Forms version. So each member of the team would have to manually switch to a browser, log into Forms, then look for the form in question. Not exactly a seamless experience.
I wonder if it was easier/better in ‘Classic Teams.’ I often switch back to Classic Teams to test this sort of thing, but Microsoft have literally just automatically uninstalled Classic Teams from my Mac – it disappeared a couple of hours ago

Mailing responders with a link to their reponse BY DEFAULT.
I have a need to send the hyperlink of the response to the responder. Whilst there is a tick box for them to manually tick to receive such an email. I need this to be mandatory as the link is to be copied and posted onto our CRM.
The link certainly exists as it works fine when the box is ticked by the respondent but when they fail to do so it is a pain as the only people able to access the response are the form owners.
I would use Power Automate but the link is not available in there to add to the email and as it uses a response token that we don’t get to view I can’t construct the url dynamically.
Is there any way around this?

Introducing Bulk Senders Insight: Optimizing Bulk Email Management for Enterprises
Bulk emails, ranging from promotions and transactional updates to targeted marketing campaigns, play a crucial role in modern enterprise communications. Yet, determining the right balance of these messages—what should be allowed and what should be blocked—poses a significant challenge. Many organizations default to standard settings, often leading to issues like false positives (FP) and false negatives (FN) in email workflows.
Understanding Your Organization’s Bulk Email Preferences
In enterprise, email management falls under the purview of admins who set policies based on bulk complaint levels (BCL). However, deciding on the optimal BCL for your organization requires insight into user preferences. Do your users prefer receiving a high volume of bulk emails, or do they lean towards a more restrictive approach? Answering these questions accurately is crucial to maintaining efficient email operations.
Introducing Bulk Senders Insight
To address these complexities, we’re excited to introduce Bulk Senders Insight—a sophisticated simulation tool designed to empower admins in fine-tuning bulk email policies. This tool offers real-time simulations that help identify the optimal BCL and identify potential FPs and FNs based on user preferences across your tenant. This feature will be rolling out to your tenants from august. Watch for a Message Center post about this.
Key Features of Bulk Senders Insight
Access and Integration: Bulk Senders Insight can be accessed via two pathways
Policies & rules > Threat policies > Anti-spam policies > Select the default policy > Edit spam threshold and properties
Reports > Email & collaboration reports and insights > Bulk senders’ insight
Simulation Mechanics: The tool operates on a rolling window simulation derived from the last 60 days of data. This ensures that admins can make informed decisions based on recent email trends specific to their organization,
Simulation Components:
Simulation Sliders for Fine-Tuning: Adjust BCL and sender quality thresholds to simulate different scenarios.
Set the minimum sender quality required for wanted bulk senders, ranging from 1 to 100. This feature enables administrators to filter out unwanted emails effectively.
BCL Level-Wise Details: Understand the impact of adjusting BCL levels on allowed and blocked email volumes.
Aggregate View: Provides a comprehensive overview of the simulated changes across your tenant.
Bulk Sender Detailed View: Offers granular insights into specific sender behaviors and their categorization.
Let’s try to understand Bulk Senders Insight with an example
Scenario Overview
An admin, Jane, wants to manage email senders to ensure that only trusted and relevant emails reach the organization’s inboxes. She uses the Bulk Senders Insight to achieve this.
Step-by-Step Process
Adjusting the Bulk Level Slider:
Jane sees that the bulk level slider is set to Level 7.
She reviews the list of senders at different levels by simulating:
Level 1: Personal contacts and infrequent senders.
Level 5: Medium-sized newsletters and promotional emails.
Level 8: High-frequency marketing emails.
Jane decides to set the bulk level threshold to Level 5 to block medium and high-frequency marketing emails.
Adjusting the Simulation Sender quality threshold:
Jane locates the Simulation Sender quality threshold slider set at 50.
She understands that senders with a Simulation Sender quality threshold below 50 might be unwanted.
Jane decides to keep the threshold at 50 to allow only wanted bulk senders and clicks on simulate
Viewing Real-Time Updates:
As Jane adjusts the sliders, the list of allowed and blocked senders updates in real-time.
Reviewing Results:
BCL Level-Wise Details shows the emails in level 5 and 6 will be blocked by showing 0’s.
Aggregate View summarized this the BCL level wise information’s
She notices that doe.jake600@hotmail.co.uk has a BCL Score of 5 and sender quality threshold at 57 which is above the sender quality threshold she set at 50.
Jane notices that since BCL is set to threshold 5 hence doe.jake600 will be blocked but based on sender quality threshold of 57, blocking this sender might generate false positives which she notices in the False positive column. (Note If the threshold was increased to higher level from current, the table would show potential False negatives).
Jane clicks on the sender to look at additional information about the sender.
Decision:
Reviewing the information helps Jane make informed decisions about whether to move the BCL level to 5 and what are potential False positives and False negatives based on actual user preferences and interactions.
Jane then add potential FPs to Allow lists in case of stricter BCL levels and add potential FNs in case admin wants to relax bulk settings.
By following these steps, Jane effectively manages email senders, ensuring that only trusted and relevant emails are allowed through while blocking unwanted and potentially harmful emails.
In this example, Bulk Senders Insight empowers admins to make data-driven decisions regarding bulk email policies. By simulating changes in BCL and Simulation Sender Quality, you can identify and mitigate potential issues like FP and FN, ensuring that your organization’s email communications are both efficient and aligned with user preferences.
This tool not only streamlines email management but also enhances overall email security and user satisfaction by adapting policies based on real-time insights.
Conclusion
Achieving the right balance in bulk email management isn’t just about setting policies—it’s about understanding user preferences and adapting policies accordingly. With Bulk Senders Insight, we’re committed to helping enterprises navigate these complexities effectively.

What’s New for Planner in Teams in July 2024
The Planner team is excited to share some fresh new updates in the Planner app for Microsoft Teams. We thank you for your valuable feedback that helps shape feature updates, and hope these capabilities significantly enhance your experience managing tasks and coordinating team initiatives.
Copy Link to Plan
This capability allows you to quickly share your plans with teammates, ensuring that everyone can access the plan with a single click. To access this feature, select a plan’s overflow menu from the My Plans page and select “Copy link to plan“:
Open Plan from Task
We’ve heard a desire for a way to view the plan associated with a specific task when looking at the task’s details in My Tasks. With this update, you can now transition from viewing a task to exploring the entire plan by selecting the plan’s name at the top of any task’s card in the My Tasks view.
Persistent Filters and Sorting
We’ve made it even easier for you to pick up right where you left off. Now, when you apply a filter or sort by column in a plan, Planner will remember your choices for the next time you open it.
Improved Assigned Tasks Card in Viva Connections
We’ve recently improved the “Assigned tasks” card in the Viva Connections dashboard. With the new updates to the “Assigned tasks” card, which is powered by Planner, users will see a new ‘Add Task’ button. Using this button, users can quickly create tasks, which will be available in the Planner app. As before, the “Assigned tasks” card will continue to show a user how many tasks are assigned to them, and allow the user to open the Assigned to me view to see those tasks in more detail. The large format of the “Assigned tasks” card will also include an “Open Planner” button to open the full Planner app, which is great for other needs like viewing all tasks in a plan.

For loop with moving window
Hi
I want to create a for-loop that calculates the weights of portfolios using a moving window for the period I am investigating. The moving window should move one day at a time and there are 1000 days in the window.
For example, compute the optimal weights on day1001 based on observations for period 1-1000days. Then you move on to day 1002, and re-calculate the weights, based on observations for period 2-1001days, etc.
I have a matrix of returns (Rets) that is 3740×6. The first column has the dates and the rest of the columns have daily returns for five different asset classes.
Thanks!Hi

Microsoft Authenticator not showing a code for MFA
We’ve been having an ongoing issue with nearly all users over time reporting that the Microsoft Authenticator app is not providing a two digit code when a service is prompting for it.
The solution has been to go to Entra ID portal, select ‘require re-register MFA’, have them delete their account in Authenticator, and re-register the device.
Specifically, this is a report I’ve received from one user: Trying to get into my office acct but it’s saying I need a code from my authenticator app. I have it on my phone but it’s not giving me a code.
What is causing this to happen for everyone and what can we do to prevent this?

Is there any way to increase source peak connections on “copy data” activity?
Max write connections are set to 32 but I can’t find any option (if possible) to increase read connections.
It reads from physical SQL server and saves into Azure SQL as shown on screenshot.

Create a page with a list of termsets and terms + all pages containing these terms
Hi all …
for the last 5 days i have been searching the internet but i can’t find a solution to something simple. Am i overlooking something? Copilot points me to the “Term store” and “Managed data” webparts, but these are not available in Sharepoint online. Chatgpt gives me all the code to make my own webpart. However, i’m no coder and already got stuck installing node.js on my laptop.
Here is what i want to do:
I would like to create a pages that shows:
– Termset
— Term
— List of pages with this term
And this for all thermsets and terms in a termgroup.
When i add a termset or term the page should update automaticly.
I’m would like to migrate our internal knowledge base from WordPress to Sharepoint.
I have a screenshot of how this is currently in WordPress. Management insists on keeping the same overviews without having to maintain these pages manualy. Thank you for any help on this.
