tengo una inquietud, a que he estado haciendo uso de la aplicación de Microsoft Stream (on SharePoint)  al momeno de compartir , dentro de adminisrar acceso, te da opción de determinar una contraseña misma tengo entendido que al destinatario que se le comparte, deberá ingresar la contraseña para que le permita abrir el archivo. pero esto no esta funcionando así.

Es un error o mal uso de mi parte?

Hello everyone,

I’m going to share with you some very important information that might be useful about Microsoft Purview Information Protection.

As you know, when you create labeling policies, you can apply content marking based on your preference. This could be a header, footer, or a watermark.

So, did you know that within a single policy, you can apply different markings for different types of documents and content (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.)?

Let’s look at some examples with the variables below:

For instance, if you want the marking to appear only in Word documents, it’s enough to enter the following variable text in the customize field:

${If.App.Word}This Word document is sensitive ${If.End}

If you want to apply different markings for Word, Excel, and Outlook content, and separate markings for PowerPoint documents within the same policy, you can use the following variable:

${If.App.WXO}This content is confidential. ${If.End}${If.App.PowerPoint}This presentation is confidential. ${If.End}

These variable parameters can be expanded and further examples can be provided. You can increase the variables and apply them according to document types.

Best Regards
Ali Koc

Microsoft | 🦜️:link: LangChain

LangChain.js + Azure: A Generative AI App Journey | Microsoft Learn

“I recommend this Microsoft tech content because it provides a practical and innovative solution for language correctness detection using Microsoft Azure OpenAI. The article explores how to leverage Azure’s advanced AI capabilities through LangChain to build a comprehensive language analysis tool. This tool not only detects grammatical errors but also evaluates sentiment, identifies aggressive language, and offers corrective suggestions, making it a versatile and essential resource for improving text quality. The project highlights the integration of Microsoft Azure’s AI services, demonstrating the platform’s robustness in handling complex natural language processing tasks. By detailing the implementation process, the article serves as a valuable guide for developers and AI enthusiasts who wish to improve the power of Azure OpenAI for language-related applications. This content is particularly relevant for those interested in enhancing communication tools, developing AI-driven language solutions, or exploring the potential of Microsoft Azure in the field of natural language processing.”

Hi all

So I created an iso image with ADK to run my info.bat

Now I have encountered a new problem I need to export the info.txt file that contains the computer information on my usb.

2. And it will be better if I can loop the “CD” commands and execute directly info.bat without having to write all these commands at startup

info.bat 

wpeinit
@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set ScriptName=bat.ps1

echo Checking for the script in %USBDrivePath%…

if exist “%USBDrivePath%%ScriptName%” (
echo USB drive found at %USBDrivePath%.

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File “%USBDrivePath%%ScriptName%”

Last night I had a Sentinel alert for logon from IP address associated with password spray. Alert was triggered from threat indicator matching IP address. OK no big deal, wasn’t a password spray. In tracking this down I see the user is external in MCAS. I find no files shared with the user, no teams message activity, no email to the user…. nothing. My question is, what could the logon event be from?

Hi, everyone, 

is there anyone who knows source algorithm for IRR function? I am trying to implement IRR function within Power Apps. Did not find any official documentation for IRR excel function tho. I would like to reverse engineer it to PowerFX because there is no native fx nor library which I could use. Is there any documents where I could find precise definition?

Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Cheers
Krystof

Anyone have similar experience and / or know if MS are working on this?
