Announcing GA of new Indian voices
For modern businesses, high quality conversational and expressive voices are a must. These voices enable them to power high-value scenarios like call centers, IVRs, voice assistants and chatbots. For several years now, Azure has offered a bouquet of TTS voices in India for multiple languages and genders, which cater to these business scenarios. We are now pleased to announce a major upgrade in our catalogue of TTS voices for the Indian locale. We have 3 pieces of updates:
We are upgrading our existing English (Indian) and Hindi voices to be more expressive and natural.
We are also announcing the release of 11 new voices for English (India) and Hindi languages in female and male categories.
Apart from this, we are expanding our portfolio of languages to include Assamese, Punjabi and Oriya languages for both female and male categories. With this, Azure now supports 13 Indian languages, which serve more than 90% of the Indian market.
These new voices are generally available for all Azure regions.
Upgrade to existing voices
We are improving our existing Neerja (en-IN) and Swara (hi-IN) with the addition of ‘Styles’. You can now make the voices sound ‘Empathetic’, ‘Newscast’ and ‘Cheerful’ based on the required emotional tone. These changes bring a more dynamic nature to the existing Default voices. Here are a few samples:

Swara (hi-IN)
Empathetic
कल्पना कीजिए कि आप एक शांत मरीना समुद्र तट के किनारे पर खड़े हैं, लहरें रेतीले तट को भीगा रही हैं। जैसे ही आप सांस लेते हैं, समुद्र की हवा की ताजगी महसूस करते हैं, और जैसे ही आप सांस छोड़ते हैं, मुक्ति और तनाव या चिंता से छुटकारा पाने की भावना महसूस करते हैं।
The addition of ‘Styles’ has made the already popular Neerja and Swara voices even more dynamic and useful for diverse scenarios. Customers can employ simple SSML tags, along with a control on Style Degree to generate suitable TTS. These are generally available in all regions now and can be tried on the Speech Studio.
New English (India) and Hindi voices
Looking at the new scenarios and a need for a more diverse set of voices, we are expanding our selection of voices in these 2 languages in both female and male categories. We are adding 6 new voices for English (India) and 5 new voices for Hindi (India), with unique properties and voice characteristics. You now have more options to choose from while building your voice application.
Female voices
We are adding 3 new voices in English (India) and 2 new voices in Hindi (India).

Using the Get-RecoverableItems Cmdlet to Report Recoverable Items
A Different Way to Report Items Stored in Recoverable Items
Yesterday’s article about reporting items stored in the Recoverable Items structure in mailboxes provoked some questions. Some were surprised that it is possible for administrators to get this level of detail about retained items from user mailboxes, but the items are the same kind that users process, so the APIs work as well for the items held in Recoverable Items as they do for folders like the inbox, sent items, and so on. On a serious note, RBAC for applications is the best way to curtail application access to sensitive mailboxes, including whatever they hold in Recoverable Items.
One of my MVP colleagues pointed out that a lot of the information I discussed could be retrieved using the Get-RecoverableItems cmdlet. That’s true, if you are only interested in certain item properties and certain folders. Using the Graph APIs supports full access to item properties in all folders, and that’s where the major advantage lies.
Let me explain what I mean. Microsoft built the Get-RecoverableItems cmdlet to allow administrators to recover items on behalf of users. The recovered items go back into the parent folder from where they were deleted. The intention behind the cmdlet is that it is used in tandem with the Restore-RecoverableItems cmdlet. In other words, the items found by Get-RecoverableItems can be restored by Restore-RecoverableItems.
Creating a Script Based on Get-RecoverableItems
Getting back to the point in hand, the observation made was that you could use Get-RecoverableItems to retrieve item information for reporting purposes, just like I did with the Graph. However, the available data is different. This might or might not be a problem.
To illustrate the issue, I created a version of the script using Get-RecoverableItems. You can download the script from GitHub. The script:
Connects to Exchange Online. You must use an account that holds the Exchange mailbox import-export role as this is required to run the Get-RecoverableItems cmdlet.
Finds user mailboxes.
Runs Get-RecoverableItems for each mailbox to find items in the Deletions folder in Recoverable Items for the last year. By default, Get-RecoverableItems fetches items from Deleted Items, Deletions, and Purges. The Graph-based version of the script only processes Recoverable Items folders including Versions and SubstrateHolds that aren’t exposed to Get-RecoverableItems.
Create a report of the results (Figure 1) and export the results to a CSV file.
Different Data Reported
Looking at the data shown in Figure 1, some of the item properties are common with those available via the Graph SDK (mailbox name and item subject). The last modified time is in U.S. format, so the script reformats the date. The last parent property is the folder that the item was deleted from, and the item class is the MAPI type. Looking at the items returned from my mailbox, I see the following types (IPM.Note is a regular message).
$Items | Group-Object ItemClass -NoElement | Sort-Object Count | Format-Table Name, Count
Name Count
—- —–
IPM.Schedule.Meeting.Resp.Tent 1
IPM.Task 1
IPM.Note.Rules.OofTemplate.Microsoft 3
IPM.Note.SMIME.MultipartSigned 4
IPM.Schedule.Meeting.Canceled 9

IPM.Schedule.Meeting.Resp.Pos 27
REPORT.IPM.Note.NDR 89
IPM.Schedule.Meeting.Request 92
IPM.Appointment 180
IPM.Note 4305
The properties for a full item returned by Get-RecoverableItems looks like this:
LastParentPath : CalendarPlanner-Microsoft 365 Message Center

It’s obvious that the two sets of properties are very different. Because the Graph provides data to clients, the Graph set includes the item body and a body preview together with a bunch of flags for the item status, like isRead or isDraft. The set includes a single value extended property for the item size. By comparison, the set retrieved by Get-RecoverableItems are designed to help a user or administrator decide which items to restore and no more.
The Bottom Line
Two methods are available to tenant administrators who need to know about the items held in the Recoverable Items structure. The Graph API can reveal more information about individual items, especially the actual content of an item, but the Get-RecoverableItems cmdlet is a viable candidate to use if you only need to know bare details like the sender, date, and subject. Isn’t it nice to have choice!

Applying Policies in a Workgroup Environment with Intune
Hello Everyone,
I have a question regarding policy enforcement in a workgroup environment where devices are enrolled into Intune (e.g., via package provisioning). In this scenario, users continue to log in with their local accounts/profiles on Windows rather than using Azure AD accounts.
Do we need to configure all policies to target devices only, given that the users aren’t logging in with Azure AD accounts?
If policies are assigned to AAD users, will they be applied, or will they be ignored because users are logging in with their local accounts?
Your guidance and insights on the best approach for managing policies in this setup would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Is the following the best practice / correct way to configure VMSwitches on a bare metal server?
It will consist of 2 x VMs (VM#1 DC, VM#2 File/Print)
I have an HPE DL380 Gen11 and the Hyper-V Role installed, with the following interfaces:
Get-NetAdapter
Name InterfaceDescription ifIndex Status
—- ——————– ——- ——
PCIe Slot 15 Port 1 Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet 11 Up
PCIe Slot 15 Port 2 Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet #2 8 Up
PCIe Slot 15 Port 3 Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet #3 9 Up
PCIe Slot 15 Port 4 Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet #4 6 Up
vEthernet (Hyper V Swi… Hyper-V Virtual Ethernet Adapter 2 Up
Just configure the PCIe Slot 15 Port 1 Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet as a normal physical NIC
Assign TCP/IP configuration as normal
No need to create a “Management OS” VSwitch and “Allow management operating system to share this network adapter”
Remaining NICs for VM traffic using SET:
PCIe Slot 15 Port 2
Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet#2
PCIe Slot 15 Port 3
Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet3
PCIe Slot 15 Port 4
Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet#4
Create a NewVMSwtich Switch Embedded Teaming (SET)
New-VMSwitch -Name “SET-Team” -NetAdapterName “PCIe Slot 15 Port 2″,”PCIe Slot 15 Port 3″,”PCIe Slot 15 Port 4” -EnableEmbeddedTeaming $true -AllowManagementOS $false
Set-VMSwitchTeam -Name “SET-Team” -LoadBalancingAlgorithm Dynamic
Get-VMSwitchTeam -Name “SET-Team” | FL
Get-VMSwitch
The SET-TEAM VMSwitch is used by the VMs for VM traffic,as it is best practice to isolate VM traffic from management traffic.
We dont “Allow the management OS to share this network adapter” as it can lead to resource contention and degraded performance for both the VMs and the management OS.
Distribution Modes
We have a choice of 2 LB distribution modes for SET Teams
Hyper-V Port
Dynamic
We use Dynamic as “Hyper-V port mode is not the best if you are only hosting a few VMs due to it not being granular enough to achieve a well-balanced distribution”
Thanks!

Synchronizing OneDrive via guest access in another company.
One user of our company (company1) has an account (email address removed for privacy reasons) on the Office 365 portal.
Multifactor authentication (MFA) is used for authentication; when logging in, the user enters a temporary code into the application on their phone.
With this account the user logs into the portal (company1.sharepoint.com), where he can access the documents stored there.
This user has OneDrive, which successfully synchronizes documents from the company1.sharepoint.com portal to their PC.
There is a second company (company2), which has provided guest access to this user to its portal (company2.sharepoint.com).
The user also successfully logs into the company2.sharepoint.com portal and can also access the documents stored there.
But, when trying to synchronize documents on the company2.sharepoint.com portal via OneDrive, the user receives the message: “Sorry, OneDrive can’t add your folder right now”.
Please help me to find a solution of this problem.

Dedicate the management OS to a Hyper-V Switch for traffic isolation.

PCIe Slot 15 Port 2
Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet#2
PCIe Slot 15 Port 3

Create New VMSwitch for the Hyper-V Host Management OS
New-VMSwitch -Name “Management OS” -NetAdapterName “PCIe Slot 15 Port 1” -AllowManagementOS $true
We set “Allow management operating system to share this network adapter” as this virtual switch is dedicated to management traffic.
The Hyper-V host should have access to this adapter for administrative purposes.
Next, Create a NewVMSwtich Switch Embedded Teaming (SET)
New-VMSwitch -Name “SET-Team” -NetAdapterName “PCIe Slot 15 Port 2″,”PCIe Slot 15 Port 3″,”PCIe Slot 15 Port 4” -EnableEmbeddedTeaming $true -AllowManagementOS $false

Configuring TCP/IP
Configure TCP/IP for the Virtual NIC vEthernet (Hyper-V Server Management OS)
The physical NIC is now bound to the virtual switch and does not handle TCP/IP directly.
Do not assign or configure TCP/IP for the Physical NIC (PCIe Slot 14 Port 1) as it is now part of the virtual switch.

Failover cluster without pausing node
Hi all,
We have 2 Exchange 2019 servers in a DAG (Primary and DR sites). Server 2022.
We have one witness server which is in the same datacentre as the Exchange server at the primary site.
Whenever the witness server is rebooted, failover clustering changes the DAG DNS object to point to the DR site. Both nodes stay up.
First of all, can someone advise why this is the case? Both Exchange servers have communication at all times and the cluster is healthy.
Secondly, is there a way to failback the cluster without pausing the DR node? I usually Pause and Drain Roles on the DR Exchange node, then Resume without failing the roles back.
thanks
jc

Copilot Agents Wave 2
Hi there, after reading all the wave 2 announcements for Copilot, I’m interested to know more about the dependencies between Copilot Agents that are created in BizChat and Sharepoint and dependencies for Copilot Studio. The Microsoft release info online refers to a “lightweight” version Copilot Studio. My questions are:
Is Copilot Studio needed to create Copilot Agents in BizChat and SharePoint?
Is the Power Platform a hard dependency for creating Copilot Agents in BizChat and SharePoint?

Current Date in Select Query
Experts,
I am trying to make this query and I think I am pretty close but I dont know how to show the Current Date in the blue below?
SELECT T1.Expirey2,T1.AmountOfChange, T1.LCID
(SELECT SUM(AmountOfChange)
FROM qryLCAmends AS T2
WHERE T2.LCID = T1.LCID
AND T2.Expirey2 < the current date)
AS LCBalance
FROM qryLCAmends AS T1
ORDER BY LCID;
the format of Expirey2 is like 9/17/2024
I think I need a NZ handler as well.
thank you

I’m not sure what to do with the data breaches Microsoft Defender reports
First of all, I realize that this forum may not be the right place for me to post any question about Microsoft Defender. If this is the wrong place, I apologize and please direct me to the correct place.
I have a Microsoft 365 for Family license, so I thought this forum might be the correct place for me to post a question about Microsoft Defender. When I logged into my Windows profile on my Windows 11 desktop, I was presented with a popup from Microsoft Defender. It asked me to fill out some additional information, which I did. At the end of that process, it told me that I was listed in some data breaches, that it found on “the dark web”. But many of them (there aren’t a lot of them) have unhelpful information. For example, one reads:
“Compromised info found on Aug 19, 2022
From an unknown source”
Then it lists my email address and a glyph for an email password. But the bottom line is I don’t know what to do with this. There’s a button that’s labeled, “Take action”, but I’m not comfortable clicking on a button when it appears to me like Microsoft Defender hasn’t a clue as to what to do about it.
So, what should I do with this ambivalent information?
