New Outlook: how can I send attached files with it, from within File Explorer?
I need to attach files to an email using New Outlook, from within File Explorer.
In classic Outlook Desktop, I’d choose the files in File Explorer, right-click them, then select “Show more options”, “Send to”, “Mail Recipient”.
However, this doesn’t open a message in New Outlook, despite setting it as the default mail handler in Windows 11’s System Settings.

Hello,
I have a matrix organized in this way:
M= col1, col2…. col10
col1 and col2 are the x and y position of the data, col10 is a property of this data and it is a number.
I would like to use the numbers in col10 to make a colormap and assign ot every point a specific color that depends on the value in col10.
I did this long time ago, but I don’t remember how, can somebody help me, please?
Thanks

No remote management of IIS on Server Core
I have three VMs running on a Server 2022 Hyper-V host: Windows 11 for management, Server 2022 as a domain controller and Server 2022 Core for Exchange 2019. On the DC I installed the optional feature “IIS Management” and downloaded and installed “IIS Manager for Remote Administration 1.2”. Access to IIS on Exchange server works without problem. But if I do the same on the Windows 11 VM, I get an error message when trying to connect: An unexpected error occurred, connection was reset. I have tried the following without success:
1. use host name or FQDN of the mail server
2. use IP address of the mail server
3. use ports 80 and 443 (e.g. mailhost:443)
4. complete shutdown of all firewall profiles on both the Windows 11 client and the mail server
The mail server’s certificate is the original self-signed certificate that is created when Exchange/IIS is installed – I would expect to be asked about the trustworthiness of the certificate, but apparently the connection fails even before the SSL handshake.
All four machines are domain members, name resolution and ping work fine. The Windows and IIS logs contain no clues. Several hours of web research have not yet yielded any results.
Does anyone have an idea / a starting point?
Many thanks in advance and best regards
Stefano

Create automated usage report from Microsoft Teams
I am looking into a way to create an automated report that creates a usage report that you can run in the MS Teams admin center ‘https://admin.teams.microsoft.com/analytics/reports’ and somehow send that data in an email with a CSV or just sample report.
This would be a report for a call queue and not against a singular user etc.
From what I can see I can get the data like any usage report for a call queue and export it manually in the admin center but I can’t find any commands to trigger a usage report etc, but I can use Get-CSCallQueue to get info on a Call Queue.
Is there anyway to do this at all, maybe I could use an API but not touched that before and mostly use the Teams powershell Module.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/teams/?view=teams-ps
I have a script I started working on but still testing it out.
# Specify the Call Queue ID
$CallQueueID = “”
# Retrieve the specific call queue
$callQueue = Get-CsCallQueue -Identity $CallQueueID
# Compile the data
$queueData = [PSCustomObject]@{
QueueName = $callQueue.Name
QueueID = $callQueue.Identity
# Add more fields as necessary
}
# Create an array to hold the report data
$report = @()
$report += $queueData
# Export the report to a CSV file
$report | Export-Csv -Path “C:PathToYourCallQueueReport.csv” -NoTypeInformation
# Output the report to the console (optional)
$report | Format-Table -AutoSize

Enhancing Security Monitoring: Integrating GitLab Cloud Edition with Microsoft Sentinel
Purpose of this Blog:
The absence of a dedicated connector for GitLab Cloud Edition in Microsoft Sentinel presents a challenge for complete security surveillance for firms using GitLab. To overcome this, we can utilize the API endpoints provided by GitLab to collect logs for integration into Sentinel. Establishing a custom table via Azure Monitor Data Collection Endpoint (DCE) along with Data Collection Rule (DCR), we can efficiently organize and study these logs. The use of Azure Logic Apps coupled with Azure Key Vault ensures that data handling is both secure and effective, and that sensitive credentials are well-protected. This blog will guide readers through the integration process, empowering organizations to maximize Microsoft Sentinel’s capabilities. With a consolidated view of their security posture, companies can improve their threat detection and response actions promptly.
What is Covered in this Blog
GitLab Cloud Edition Free Trial Account:
Setting up a free trial account on GitLab Cloud Edition to get started.
Generating Personal Access Token (PAT):
Generate a Personal Access Token (PAT) for accessing GitLab logs API Endpoint.
Leveraging Personal Access token in Postman to check the logs.
Azure Monitor Data Collection Rule (DCR) and Data Collection Endpoint (DCE):
Configuring Azure Monitor DCR and DCE to ingest user events into Microsoft Sentinel via a custom table.
Creating an Azure Logic App:
Developing an Azure Logic App to fetch logs from GitLab and send them to Microsoft Sentinel.
Azure Key Vault Integration:
Storing API endpoint credentials securely using Azure Key Vault.
GitLab Cloud Edition Free Trial Account:
Setting up a free trial account on GitLab Cloud Edition to get started.
Try GitLab for free | GitLab
Steps to Generate Personal Access Token once you have the Gitlab free trial:
Log In to GitLab:
Open your web browser and log in to your GitLab account.
Navigate to User Settings:
Click on your profile picture or avatar in the top right corner of the GitLab interface.
Select Edit profile from the dropdown menu.
Access Personal Access Tokens:
In the left sidebar, click on Access Tokens.
Add Access Token:
While adding the Personal Access token, provide the scope/permission and the Expiration Day:
Copy the Personal Access token as it generated:
3. Testing Personal Access token in Postman to check the logs access.
While using the trial version of GitLab Cloud, I utilized the event API endpoint to retrieve event logs by following these steps:
The GitLab free trial provides API access to different logs and events. Yet, access to specific logs like audit ones may be restricted based on your GitLab subscription. Below is a test case I executed to pull available events via the GitLab API: User Events.
You can retrieve events related to a specific user, such as activities performed by the user.
API Endpoint:
https://gitlab.com/api/v4/users/:id/events
How to get the ID:
Accessing Logs in Postman
To access these logs using Postman, follow these general steps:
Open Postman:
Launch Postman and create a new request.
Set Request Method and URL:
Set the HTTP method to GET.
Enter the API endpoint URL corresponding to the logs you want to retrieve.
Add Authorization Header:
Go to the Authorization tab.
Select Bearer Token from the Type dropdown.
Enter your PAT in the Token field.
Send the Request:
Click the Send button.
Example: Retrieve user Events
Set Request Method and URL:
HTTP method: GET
URL: https://gitlab.com/api/v4/users/vdabhi123/events (replace :id & UserID as per your trial with your Gitlab project ID)
4. Data Collection Rule and Data Collection Endpoint to ingest the User events to Microsoft Sentinel in a Custom Table
Create a DCR based custom table in Log Analytics Workspace where sentinel is onboarded:
Create a Data collection Endpoint in advance prior creating the Data Collection Rule:
For creating a DCE navigate to monitor in global search:
Search Data collection Endpoint
Create Data collection rule after creating the Data Collection Endpoint:
You can fetch the schema either from gitlab official website or the json output which you got from the postman api request:
Copy the Json output from postman, and save the same in json format as guided below:
Upload the json file on the schema page of DCR:
If Timegenerated field error comes up, try changing the time field in json as:
Re-upload the json file :
Review & Create the Data Collection Rule:
Rectify if there is any error like here the error is usage of a reserved keyword id:
Hence replace the same in json and reupload the file and save the DCR
5. Creating Azure Logic app to fetch the logs from Gitlab to Microsoft Sentinel
Ensure you have the PAT and the required API endpoint URL in place prior creating the Logic app as a pre-requisite:
Start with a Blank logic app in Microsoft Sentinel as:
Create the Logic app with Consumption plan as with Resource group and other key requirements:
Deploy the logic app:
Open the logic app designer and add the steps for Recurrence, HTTP, Send to log analytics as:
Recurrence can be adjusted respectively:
HTTP Action:
Enter the URL, Method, Headers, as defined while accessing the content in postman:
Send log to log analytics Workspace and select or add the custom table which is created previously
6. How to grant Logic permission to Azure Key Vault to get Secret:
Why we need Azure key vault in Place:
Azure key vault will help us in storing the secret values like API Endpoint and the PAT token which is Security best practice.
Generate the Managed identity for Logic app:
Copy the object principal ID, Use this Object principal ID to assign Azure key vault Secret reader role to this id respectively as:
Navigate to Azure Key Vault and check access control:
Choose the Role:
Choose the logic app:
The logic app should reflect as member after the Selection as:
Review & Assign:
Note: Custom table “gitlabdcr_CL” will take some time to populate the logs from GitLab API endpoint source for querying at Sentinel.

Military-grade Laptop
Greetings,
I am seeking advice on selecting a personal laptop for my son, a U.S. Marine who will be stationed in Okinawa soon. His only requirement is that it is compatible with a CAC (Common Access Card) reader and the necessary US-DOD software for interfacing with it.
Based on my research, there is a version of the root toolkit for the CAC interface that is compatible with Windows 11, making the software aspect relatively straightforward.
My main objective is to find a compact laptop that is durable enough to withstand travel and rough handling. I anticipate that he will mainly use it for email, web browsing, video streaming, online banking, and accessing the DOD-CAC system.
Any insights or recommendations you can provide would be highly appreciated.
Thank you.

Optimizing Computer Energy Consumption
I recently implemented a solar power setup to reduce the energy consumption of my numerous computers. This solar system consists of a grid of solar panels, a battery, and an inverter that communicates data to a sophisticated mobile app which I find myself constantly monitoring.
This discussion revolves around the impact of computer equipment and usage on power consumption. Through my research on this forum, I was particularly impressed by a thread about high disk usage on OneDrive and the detailed monitoring by user PilgrimLyieu using the Task Manager. I will be posing some basic questions to kick off the conversation.
I initiated this discussion because I pondered whether the excessive number of open browsers and tabs on my computers affect power usage. Below is a list of electronics and applications that consume power. Let’s explore ways in which they utilize energy, how we can track this power consumption (for me, through the Solar app), and strategies to minimize energy usage.
Devices like:
– Computers
– Monitors
– Drives
– Applications
– Background Apps
– Emails
– Browsers
– Browser tabs
– Open Windows
– Audio levels
– And more
I am looking forward to engaging in a productive dialogue in this thread.

How to Set a Default Input Method
I have added Japanese language support to my system in addition to UK English, as I develop software that requires translation. I have configured the keyboard to the UK Extended layout for UK English.
After installing Japanese language support, despite having UK English set as my current language, the Input Method Editor (IME) defaults to the Japanese IME with the 102/106 key layout. This means that I need to remember to switch the input method to the UK Extended Keyboard every time I log on. Otherwise, pressing Shift-2 produces the @ character instead of “.
Is there a way to make the system use the UK Extended keyboard layout by default instead of the Japanese IME?
Thank you,
David
