Disable Bluetooth on Android Fully Managed Devices
Hi All,
Got an issue on an Android fully managed setup. I have set the option in the config profile to Block the Bluetooth Configuration, and this apply’s to the devices, however Bluetooth is enabled by default, which is an issue as it has to be switched off. The config of Bluetooth on the device is locked down as per the setting.
Any idea on how to turn Bluetooth off?
It’s not Samsung device so can’t use KNOX.
And Managed Home Screen also just blocks the config of Bluetooth and doesn’t turn it off.
Hoping this is possible 🤞
Thanks

Improved experience for Viva Connections Resources section
We are excited to announce recent enhancements to the Viva Connections Resources section that allow operators to personalize the experience even further. Here are some of the updates we have made to the Resources.
Features and capabilities mentioned in this blog post, are demonstrated in the following video with Leslie Thomas (Microsoft) and Vesa Juvonen (Microsoft).
Add Custom Images for Resource Links
Operators can now add their own custom images to their resource links for a more personalized feel that aligns with their brand. To add a custom image as an icon in Viva Connections, follow these simple steps:
On the Resources screen, select Edit.
From the three-dot menu next to the resource link, select Edit and then select Custom to select the custom image, and then select Change
Select image of your choice and then select Insert to add the new image onto the link
Select Edit at the bottom of the screen to implement changes.
No extensive preparation is needed. Operators should start considering which custom images they would like to use as icons for the links in the Resources section. This feature is on by default and accessible to all Viva Connections operators and admins.
Preview Editing Experience and Import Links from Global/Home Site Navigation
In addition, we have revamped the editing experience for the Resources section in Viva Connections. Operators can now edit more than one link at a time before saving their changes, updating from the previous auto-saving capability that existed in Resources. This update provides more flexibility, allowing operators to decide when to save changes to their resources section and make them visible to their organization. Additionally, operators will be able to import their navigational links from their home site and global navigation. TO perform the task, follow these steps:
On the Resources screen, select edit.
After selecting edit, select Import SharePoint Links.
Select which navigation component you want to import your link from. You can import from your home site navigation or your global navigation.
Next, select the number of links you want to import into resources.
Select if you want to keep existing audience targeting settings that you have for links that you’re importing into Resources by turning the toggle on.
Once complete, select Import to import your links into Resources in Viva Connections.
Consistency Across Desktop and Mobile
Lastly, we are bringing parity to the Resources section in Viva Connections desktop and mobile experiences. The updated links in Viva Connections desktop will now appear in mobile, along with the customized icons that the operator has selected. This update ensures a consistent user interface across both desktop and mobile experiences. The mobile UI update will launch in Q4 and is currently rolling out to our customers.
Frequently asked questions
When will this happen?
This blog post refers to following Microsoft 365 Roadmap items which have their unique scheduled, but all features should be fully released by end of October 2024:
Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 388369 – Microsoft Viva: Revamped Resources on mobile and tablet
Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 397890 – Microsoft Viva: Import navigational links from SharePoint into Resources in Viva Connections
Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 402188 – Microsoft Viva: Choose custom images as icons for resources in Viva Connections
What do you need to prepare?
You do not need to do anything to prepare for this update, but you may want to let your users know about this improvement.

Endpoint security policies not applicable
Hello,
We’ve started to rollout Windows Defender for our customers. Some of our customers devices are not Intune enrolled users login with local profiles. The devices are showing as managed by MDE. In the security portal we’ve enabled, Use MDE to enforce security configuration settings from Intune. In the Intune portal we created AV, Firewall and Attack Surface Reduction policies but some of the policies are reporting as not applicable and not applying to the devices. We created an ASR rule to block child processes but it’s reporting as not applicable for all devices. We are also testing a block usb access policy and this is showing as not applicable on that test device. Same with an AV rule we have one created to control security center UI. The policies are being applied to a dynamic security group that targets OStype Windows.
When I view the report to check why it’s not applicable it doesn’t show me anything. Can someone tell why the policy would be reporting as not applicable?

Matlab If Else Statement
The prompt of the question I have to do is: " The value of y is defined in terms of x by y=ln(0.5-x), write a function myfun(x) that takes some value x and does the following:
If x is greater or equal to 0.5 the function should caluculate y by using the negative value of that x and assign the result to z
If the value of x smaller than 0.5 the function should return the value z where z is calculated as the following
z=y^n

After each restart, the parameters of the multimeter blocks change randomly (Simulink Simscape Electrical – Specialized Power Systems)
Hey everyone,
I am currently using Simulink Simscape Electrical Specialized Power Systems extensively for my work. However, I have encountered a persistent issue that I find quite bothersome.
In order to perform measurements of voltages, currents, etc., I rely on several multimeter blocks. Unfortunately, after each program restart, the output parameters/measurement parameters of these multimeter blocks change randomly. As a result, I have to reconfigure the multimeter blocks every time I restart the program. This process is quite cumbersome and time-consuming.
I was wondering if any of you have experienced the same or a similar issue and could provide me with some guidance or assistance in resolving it.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Integrating Azure AI Speech Services into Unity for a Seamless Speech-to-Text Experience
Have you ever planned to make a virtual assistant for your game? Or something like where the player can converse with an NPC just like in the real world? Well, the possibilities can be endless when you plan to integrate the power of Artificial Intelligence within your game and luckily Azure AI Services provides a variety of tools that you can utilise within the Unity Game Engine. In this blog, I’ll guide you through how you can use Azure AI Speech in Unity by making a simple Speech to Text feature.
Prerequisites:
Unity 2020.3 or later.
A subscription key for the Azure Speech service. (You can try Azure for free)
A working microphone and access to it.
Creating an Azure AI Speech resource:
Go to Azure AI Speech Studio and sign in with your Microsoft Account.
Select Settings then Create a resource. Configure it with the following settings:
Name of new resource: Enter a unique name.
Subscription: Your Azure subscription.
Region: Select a supported region.
Pricing tier: Free FO (if available, otherwise select Standard S0).
Resource group: Select or create a resource group with a unique name.
Select Create resource. Wait until the resource has been created and then select Use resource. The Get started with Speech page is displayed.
You can explore the Speech Studio and check out different tools but for now, we’ll be using the Real-Time Speech to Text.
Check out Microsoft Learn – Azure AI Speech to explore more.
Copy the Region and Resource Key
Click the Settings icon from the top right corner.
Copy the “region” and “resource key”.
Setting up the Unity Project
Create a new 3D Project in Unity.
In the Hierrarchy panel, right click, go to UI and select “Text – TextMeshPro”.
In the Hierrarchy panel, right click, go to UI and select “Button – TextMeshPro”.
Position these two components in the scene view.
The “Text” will be used to display your recognised speech.
The “Button” will be used to record your speech.
Importing the Speech SDK to our Unity Project
Download the Speech SDK from here.
After downloading, Import the Speech SDK by selecting Assets > Import Package > Custom Package (Or you can just double click the downloaded package and open it in the current project).
Ensure that all files are selected and click Import.
Creating the script
In the Assets folder, right click and Create a C# Script named “Speech.cs”
Copy and paste the code below –
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;
using Microsoft.CognitiveServices.Speech;
using TMPro;
#if PLATFORM_ANDROID
using UnityEngine.Android;
#endif
#if PLATFORM_IOS
using UnityEngine.iOS;
using System.Collections;

private bool waitingForReco;
private string message;
private bool micPermissionGranted = false;
#if PLATFORM_ANDROID || PLATFORM_IOS
// Required to manifest microphone permission, cf.
// https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/android-manifest.html
private Microphone mic;
#endif
public async void ButtonClick()
{
// Creates an instance of a speech config with specified subscription key and service region.
// Replace with your own subscription key and service region (e.g., “westus”).
var config = SpeechConfig.FromSubscription(“”, “”);
// Make sure to dispose the recognizer after use!
using (var recognizer = new SpeechRecognizer(config))
{
lock (threadLocker)
{
waitingForReco = true;
}
// Starts speech recognition, and returns after a single utterance is recognized. The end of a
// single utterance is determined by listening for silence at the end or until a maximum of 15
// seconds of audio is processed. The task returns the recognition text as result.
// Note: Since RecognizeOnceAsync() returns only a single utterance, it is suitable only for single
// shot recognition like command or query.
// For long-running multi-utterance recognition, use StartContinuousRecognitionAsync() instead.
var result = await recognizer.RecognizeOnceAsync().ConfigureAwait(false);
// Checks result.
string newMessage = string.Empty;
if (result.Reason == ResultReason.RecognizedSpeech)
{
newMessage = result.Text;
}
else if (result.Reason == ResultReason.NoMatch)
{
newMessage = “NOMATCH: Speech could not be recognized.”;
}
else if (result.Reason == ResultReason.Canceled)
{
var cancellation = CancellationDetails.FromResult(result);
newMessage = $”CANCELED: Reason={cancellation.Reason} ErrorDetails={cancellation.ErrorDetails}”;
}
lock (threadLocker)
{
message = newMessage;
waitingForReco = false;
}
}
}
void Start()
{
if (outputText == null)
{
UnityEngine.Debug.LogError(“outputText property is null! Assign a UI Text element to it.”);
}
else if (startRecoButton == null)
{
message = “startRecoButton property is null! Assign a UI Button to it.”;
UnityEngine.Debug.LogError(message);
}
else
{
// Continue with normal initialization, Text and Button objects are present.
#if PLATFORM_ANDROID
// Request to use the microphone, cf.
// https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/android-RequestingPermissions.html
message = “Waiting for mic permission”;
if (!Permission.HasUserAuthorizedPermission(Permission.Microphone))
{
Permission.RequestUserPermission(Permission.Microphone);
}
#elif PLATFORM_IOS
if (!Application.HasUserAuthorization(UserAuthorization.Microphone))
{
Application.RequestUserAuthorization(UserAuthorization.Microphone);
}
#else
micPermissionGranted = true;
message = “Click button to recognize speech”;
#endif
startRecoButton.onClick.AddListener(ButtonClick);
}
}
void Update()
{
#if PLATFORM_ANDROID
if (!micPermissionGranted && Permission.HasUserAuthorizedPermission(Permission.Microphone))
{
micPermissionGranted = true;
message = “Click button to recognize speech”;
}
#elif PLATFORM_IOS
if (!micPermissionGranted && Application.HasUserAuthorization(UserAuthorization.Microphone))
{
micPermissionGranted = true;
message = “Click button to recognize speech”;
}
#endif
lock (threadLocker)
{
if (startRecoButton != null)
{
startRecoButton.interactable = !waitingForReco && micPermissionGranted;
}
if (outputText != null)
{
outputText.text = message;
}
}
}
}
// </code>
Enter your copied “Subscription key” and “Region” in line 36
Save the script and go back to Unity.
3. Attach the script to the Canvas Gameobject.
4. In place of “Output Text” and “StartRecordButton” drag the Text and the Button component that you created in the scene respectively.
Testing
Now click the play button on Unity to enter Gamemode.
In the Gamemode click the Button and speak to your mic.
You should see your speech converted into text.
In this way, you can easily integrate the Azure AI Speech and use it for Speech to Text. You can further modify it as per your own need and to make your imagination into reality.

SharePoint Oversharing, Governance, and Lifecycle
SharePoint Advanced Management Focusing on the Challenges of the AI Era
An interesting TEC 2024 session covering SharePoint Online security, reporting, and artificial intelligence given by Sanjoyan Mustafi, principal program manager for SharePoint and OneDrive provoked more questions than it answered.
Sanjoyan covered the current and some future capabilities of SharePoint Advanced Management (SAM), a premium add-on license announced in March 2024. SAM includes solutions to address the problems of oversharing, data governance, and lifecycle management for SharePoint Online sites. Sanjoyan noted that nearly 4 billion documents are uploaded to Microsoft 365 daily, a substantial increase in the 2.5 million often cited by Microsoft spokespeople.
SAM spans reports and policies. Some of the reports generated by SAM depend on audit records and reflect historic actions such as people sharing using anyone links. Others use current state data, meaning that they reflect near real time data. Policies include the block download policy and a conditional access policy to restrict access to sensitive SharePoint Online sites using authentication contexts. Another policy restricts access to OneDrive for Business accounts to specific users. These are all useful features to help manage access to SharePoint content.
But the discussion about oversharing made me think that Microsoft is taking an opportunity to sell yet another add-on ($3 user/month) to fix flaws revealed by Microsoft 365 Copilot that are a direct result of poor decisions made by Microsoft in the past.
The Grave Error of Unfettered Group Creation
The biggest example I can give is the decision made in November 2014 not to impose control over who could create Office 365 Groups (now Microsoft 365 Groups). The idea was to foster collaboration. Despite strong argument against the decision based on knowledge of the disaster Exchange public folders became when users were allowed free rein, Microsoft persisted and launched the era of open collaboration at the Ignite conference in May 2015.
The mistake was compounded in November 2016 when Microsoft released the preview of Teams and allowed anyone to create a new team. Even worse, when Entra ID (then Azure AD) introduced a policy to allow tenants to dictate who could create Microsoft 365 groups, they insisted on making this a feature covered by the Entra P1 license. This control should have been part of the base product since day 1.
The result is plain to see with massive team sprawl in many tenants. Sanjoyan said that approximately 90% of the SharePoint sites created in Microsoft 365 are team-enabled. Many of those teams are inactive, badly managed, or ownerless, all of which are factors that contribute to poor data governance. The question must be asked if the same situation would exist had Microsoft had seen sense and allowed tenants to control group creation from the start. I say no, but we are where we are.
The Era of Copilot
None of this mattered too much until Microsoft 365 Copilot arrived. Being grounded in the Graph means that Copilot can access and use any document available to the signed-in user when it responds to user prompts. That doesn’t mean documents containing accurate and useful information. It means any document stored in sites where the user is a member or can be accessed through a sharing link. The corpus of documents available to Copilot can contain misleading, inaccurate, and just plain information. Copilot doesn’t care and can’t tell the difference between an accurate and incorrect fact.
Reasoning over files that contain bad data means that Copilot can include bad information in its responses. This is why Microsoft has rushed to limit the free access Copilot enjoys via Graph queries with solutions like Restricted SharePoint Search and the sensitivity label setting that blocks access for individual documents to Microsoft Content Services. A new solution called Restricted Content Discoverability (RCD) is in private preview. RCD allows tenants to exclude sites from Copilot access. It seems like a much better approach than Restricted SharePoint Search, which limits Enterprise Search to 100 curated sites.
Restricted Access Control (RAC) for SharePoint Online and OneDrive for Business is already available. RAC means that no matter whet sharing links are present on files in a site, the only people who can access the files are users in groups specified in an access list. Microsoft 365 Copilot respects RAC and won’t access files in protected sites unless the signed-in user is in the access list.
Maybe Bundle SharePoint Advanced Management with Microsoft 365 Copilot
SharePoint Advanced Management isn’t all about Microsoft 365 Copilot, but the need to control oversharing for Copilot seems to be the current focus for SAM. Given that, wouldn’t it make sense for Microsoft to bundle SAM with Microsoft 365 Copilot? It sure seems like a good idea to me.
So much change, all the time. It’s a challenge to stay abreast of all the updates Microsoft makes across the Microsoft 365 ecosystem.
