Generating pre-filled forms links from Excel data

/ 2024-08-22

Hi!

I’m trying to automate some tasks at the school I work at: every year we collect some data from the new students using MS Forms and now we’d like to send a secondary form to the students that tick a certain box in that form. Is there a way to automatically generate a unique form link for each student that tick that box, send it to the e-mail they supply and have the response to that form tied to their supplied e-mail? Or have the new form have the student’s name pre-filled?

I know I can do a branching structure in the first form, but we’d really like to separate the questions to different forms if we can.

Thank you!

Microsoft Reflect in Developer Tenant

/ 2024-08-22

Hello!

Does anyone know how to add the Microsoft Reflect App to my developer tenant?

It exists in my current tenant, but I had hoped to test it out in a developer tenant first to assess the impact of blocking it when it has been in use etc.

EDIT:

I think it’s because my developer tenant does not have an education licence. Is there a way to use a trial education licence in the developer tenant?

Thanks!

Secure architecture design – How Defender for Office 365 protects against EchoSpoofing

/ 2024-08-22

A new spoofing technique labeled “EchoSpoofing” was recently reported that impacted select Proofpoint customers. This blog provides a brief overview of how this particular attack exploited their specific architecture and describes the architecture best practices implemented by Microsoft Defender for Office 365 that protect against EchoSpoofing and spoofing attacks broadly.

What is “Spoofing”?

Spoofing is a tactic used by threat actors to disguise their identity by manipulating data, such as the email sender address, to appear as a trusted source through impersonation. The goal of this technique is typically to deceive individuals or systems into taking actions—such as divulging sensitive information, gaining unauthorized access, or executing financial transactions.

When a From address is spoofed, the user will see what appears to be a legitimate email address, such as user@contoso.com. But in reality, the message did not come from contoso.com, based on the information contained in the headers of the message. Protecting this visible address is important, as it helps users trust the information they see.

As a first line of defense, users need to be able to trust the visible information in the From address and validate that it really is the person who sent the message. To do this, email providers use various standards to validate the From address to protect it from being spoofed, including:

Sender Policy Framework (SPF) – An email authentication standard that helps protect senders and recipients from spam, spoofing, and phishing. By adding an SPF record to your Domain Name System, you can provide a public list of senders that are approved to send email from your domain.
DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) – An email authentication standard that adds a digital signature to outgoing messages. Mail servers receiving messages signed with DKIM can verify messages truly came from the sender, and not someone impersonating the sender.
Domain-based Message Authentication Reporting & Conformance (DMARC) – An email security standard which verifies the email sender by building on the DKIM and SPF protocols in DNS.

Defender for Office 365 uses all these technologies and more, including Spoof intelligence to provide effective protection against spoofing and Authenticated Received Chain (ARC) to preserve original authentication details from third-party email services, which may sit in front of Microsoft 365. If you are using another vendor, check with them for support.

What is EchoSpoofing?

“EchoSpoofing” is a process that allowed a bad actor to spoof the From address of certain domains by relaying a message through different services. A weakness in Proofpoint’s architecture enabled modifiable email routing configuration on Proofpoint servers to allow relay of organizations’ outbound messages through their services. Attackers exploited this to bypass email authentication checks when the message was relayed. This resulted in their messages being updated so that authentication would pass at the receiving service and appearing as trusted.

There are common use cases for relaying messages, such as forwarding. But in this case the validity of the sender was not verified before the message was accepted and relayed. Additionally In a shared environment, validation of the sender is critical to avoid these types of problems.

THe Defender for Office 365 secure architecture is designed to protect against EchoSpoofing

In Microsoft Defender for Office 365, you can send messages in various ways—either direct to an SMTP endpoint or via connectors. In both cases, Microsoft validates the sender of the message to ensure we process the message correctly or simply reject it as an invalid relay.

In each case, the sender is validated and the message is attributed to a tenant as follows:

Inbound Connectors – If a message comes in via an inbound connector, the SMTP.MailFrom (P1) sender or the certificate on the connector is used to validate the connection to the specific tenant. If no attribution can be made, the connection is handled just like an incoming internet connection.
Internet Connections – Messages that are received from the internet are considered to be incoming and processed as such.

The image below shows the flow of traffic and what would happen if the same attack was attempted in environments where organizations are using Defender for Office 365 to protect their email.

In the diagram above, even though the message is directed to the Fabrikam.com tenants’ endpoint, it will be treated as internet traffic and handled as generic incoming traffic—meaning the message would be considered incoming to the Alpineskihouse.com tenant from user@fabrikam.com. Since the From address cannot be validated based on the data in the message due to the lack of alignment between the P1 sender and the DKIM domain, it would be considered spoof and handled appropriately. Defender for Office 365 effectively will not allow the attacker to cleanse the message by trying to pass it through the Fabrikam tenant, negating the EchoSpoofing attack.

In Microsoft Defender for Office 365 all of these protections are enabled by default and inherent to our architecture design. There is no configuration requirement for customers.

How do you track a tip of a pendulium and plot its displacement against time?

Trouble using WorksheetFunction SUM and COUNTIFS together

/ 2024-08-22

I’m trying to write a small vba where I need to check two conditions and if they the conditions are met add total the number of records that meet the conditions. My code is as follows:

wsActive.Range(“D2”).Value = Application.WorksheetFunction.SUM(WorksheetFunction.COUNTIFS(Range(“K:K”), “>12”, Range(“I:I”), {“”Open””,””Under Investigation””,””Acknowledge & Close””}))

wsTables.Range(“D3”).Value = Application.WorksheetFunction.SUM(Application.WorksheetFunction.CountIfs(Range(“K:K”), “>=6”, Range(“K:K”), “<=12”, Range(“I:I”), {“”Open””,””Under Investigation””,””Acknowledge & Close””}))

When I run the code, I get a message stating the braces, “{“, are invalid characters.

When I remove the braces, then I get a message missing an object.

Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? I know I can use the functions in the cell, but I need it to be in a macro. When I apply the function to the cell, it works; however, when I try to write it in Excel VBA, it fails.

Integrating Copilot 365 with Power Automate and SharePoint

/ 2024-08-22

Hello everyone,

I’m facing an issue with integrating Copilot 365 in a Power Automate flow that I’ve set up. Here’s my use case:

I’ve created a Power Automate flow that performs OCR analysis on documents. The results of this analysis are then exported to a SharePoint list. My ultimate goal is to use Copilot 365 to analyze these exports directly within the SharePoint list and provide me with answers to specific questions regarding this data.

Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to get Copilot 365 to read the text or rows from my SharePoint list. So far, the only way I’ve found to get responses from Copilot is by using the “public” web version of Copilot 365, where I can open a text file and ask questions about it.

Has anyone else encountered this problem? Is there a solution to allow Copilot 365 to analyze data directly from a SharePoint list without needing to go through a text file? Or is there a more efficient way to leverage my information using Power Automate and SharePoint?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Sharepoint Calculated Date columns

/ 2024-08-22

Hi All

I have 3 date columns in Sharepoint (Completion Date, Next Review, Last Review). I want to calculate the next review column and last review column so they are dynamic. The completion date should be static.

The next review date should be 3 years from the completion date but when that date is reached another 3 years should be added then the last review column should be populated with the previous date if that makes sense. I’ve got bits and pieces working so far…

This adds 3 years to the Completion Date

DATE(YEAR([Completion Date])+3,MONTH([Completion Date]),DAY([Completion Date]))

This adds 3 years to the Next Review Date once Todays date is the same as the Next Review Date

IF(DATE(YEAR([Next Review]),MONTH([Next Review]),DAY([Next Review]))=TODAY(),DATE(YEAR([Next Review])+3,MONTH([Next Review]),DAY([Next Review])),””)

I just help with replacing the last review date with the previous next review date. Its probably something simple which I have overlooked. Any help much appreciated.

Thanks

Introducing AI21 Labs Jamba 1.5 Large and Jamba 1.5 Mini on Azure AI Models-as-a-Service

/ 2024-08-22

This June, AI21 Jamba-Instruct from AI21 Labs launched first on Azure and now, in partnership with AI21, we are excited to announce the availability of two new open models, AI21 Jamba 1.5 Large and AI21 Jamba 1.5 Mini, in the Azure AI model catalog. These models are based on the Jamba architecture, which combines Mamba and Transformer layers to achieve performance and efficiency for long-context processing tasks. You can get started with the models in your Azure AI Studio Hub through client samples like LangChain, LiteLLM, web requests and AI21’s Azure Client.

“We are excited to deepen our collaboration with Microsoft, bringing the cutting-edge innovations of the Jamba Model family to Azure AI users,” said Pankaj Dugar, SVP and GM of North America at AI21. “As an advanced hybrid SSM-Transformer model suite, the Jamba open model family democratizes access to LLMs that offer efficiency, low latency, high quality, and long-context handling. These models elevate enterprise performance and are seamlessly integrated with the Azure AI platform.”

Azure AI’s expansive model catalog, featuring over 1,600 foundational models, offers versatility and ease of use. This collection includes contributions from industry leaders such as AI21 Labs, Cohere, NVIDIA, OpenAI, G42, Mistral, and more, ensuring comprehensive coverage for diverse needs. Our partnerships with top AI providers and the release of Phi-3 from Microsoft Research have significantly broadened our offerings, making it easier for customers to find and choose models tailored to their specific applications.

What makes the Jamba 1.5 Models Unique?

Based on information from AI21 Labs, the Jamba 1.5 Large and Jamba 1.5 Mini models are the most powerful models to be built to date from the Jamba architecture. These models leverage the Hybrid Mamba-Transformer architecture, which optimizes the trade-off between speed, memory, and quality by using Mamba layers for short-range dependencies and Transformer layers for long-range dependencies. The result is a family of models that can handle long contexts with high efficiency and low latency.

Jamba 1.5 Mini has 12 billion active parameters and 52 billion total parameters, while Jamba 1.5 Large has 94 billion active parameters and 398 billion total parameters. Both models support a 256K context window, which means they can process up to 256,000 tokens or characters at a time. This is a significant improvement over the standard context window of most large language models, and it enables new possibilities for generative AI applications that require longer texts, such as document summarization, text generation, or information extraction.

These models come with several features that make them easy to use and integrate, such as function calling, RAG optimizations, and JSON mode. These features allow you to perform complex operations, such as querying external knowledge sources, composing multiple functions, or formatting the output, with simple natural language instructions.

AI21 Labs highlights various use cases of these models including the following:

Financial Services

Loan Term Sheet Generation
Customer Service Agents (Grounded Q&A)
Investment Research (Grounded Q&A)

Healthcare / Life Sciences

Digital Health Assistant
Research Assistant

Retail / CPG

Product Description Generator
Product FAQ Generator
Shopping Assistant
