Teams channels not receiving emails since a few weeks
Hi,
The new channels I created those past few weeks seem not to receive emails. There are a few old ones that still do.
Even a confirmation email from GMail (that is mandatory before being able to transfer) doesn’t show in the channel.
Has anyone else had this issue too?

Automating document indexing into Azure Cosmos DB with Logic Apps
Effectively managing large document volumes is essential for modern applications, particularly to maintain fast and reliable querying. With Azure Logic Apps, you can now automate document indexing into Azure Cosmos DB, in addition to the existing capability of indexing in AI Search, offering the flexibility to use either service as a vector store.
In this post, we’ll walk through a scenario where Logic Apps automates the ingestion and indexing of documents, such as PDFs, into Azure Cosmos DB. This approach not only reduces operational overhead but also ensures that your data remains highly accessible and queryable.
Why use Logic Apps for document indexing in Cosmos DB?
Automated Workflows: By automating document indexing, you eliminate manual tasks and ensure that documents are indexed as soon as they are uploaded.
Scalability: As your document volume grows, Azure Cosmos DB’s global distribution ensures your data remains scalable and highly available.
Seamless Integration: Logic App enables you to easily integrate with other Azure services, such as Blob Storage and AI models, enhancing your document indexing with intelligence and automation.
Scenario Overview
In this scenario, we automate the ingestion of document content from Azure Blob Storage, parsing it, and indexing it into Azure Cosmos DB. When a blob (such as a PDF or text document) is uploaded, a Logic App workflow is triggered to process the document and store its data in a Cosmos DB container, making it easily retrievable and queryable. Here is what the workflow will look like:
Key steps in the workflow:
Blob Upload Detection: The Logic App starts by detecting when a new blob (document) is added or updated in Azure Blob Storage using the event-based trigger.
Read Blob Content: The workflow reads the content of the uploaded blob and prepares it for further processing.
Document Parsing: Logic Apps parses the document, extracting the relevant content, such as text or metadata. This can include PDF extraction or text chunking for larger documents.
Chunk Text: For larger documents, the content is split into manageable chunks to ensure smooth processing and indexing.
Generate Embeddings Using AI: Using Azure AI, the Logic App generates embeddings from the document content. These embeddings allow for enhanced data processing, categorization, and structure mapping within Cosmos DB.
Map to Schema: The extracted data and embeddings are mapped to a predefined schema to ensure consistency in how documents are indexed within Cosmos DB.
Bulk Update in Cosmos DB: Finally, the processed document is stored and indexed in Cosmos DB. The “Create or update many items in bulk” action ensures that multiple items are processed efficiently for fast querying.
Here is a GitHub sample logic app that has the ingestion workflow to index data in Azure Cosmos DB.
Conclusion
By leveraging Azure Logic Apps to automate document indexing into Azure Cosmos DB, you can streamline data workflows, reduce manual intervention, and ensure your data is organized for optimal performance. This powerful integration simplifies the process, making it easier for teams to manage large volumes of documents and scale as needed.
We are also planning on adding support to allow retrieval of the indexed content soon. Stay tuned for more updates and please let us know your thoughts and feedback.

Excel Window Resize from Bottom Right Very Slow. Others OK.
I am running Excel 365 64 Bit v16.0.17328.20550 on Windows 11 Surface Pro 9 machine. When I try to change the windows size in Excel by dragging the bottom right corner and resizing diagonally Excel is painfully slow to resize and redraw the window, noticeably lagging behind the mouse movement. The odd thing is if I resize the same window diagonally using any of the other 3 corners it works fine. If I resize just horziontally or just vertically by dragging one of the edges it is also ok…..only the bottom right corner causes issues which per Murphy’s Law is the one I always use.
Seems very odd but has anyone else seen this issue?

Video Transcript:
-Gen AI has forever changed the way we interact with apps and data, but how do you find and integrate the right AI model for your app? In fact, integrating Gen AI into your app dev process can make your app smarter, more efficient, and more user-friendly. Responses to user inputs are more personalized, engaging, and natural, and because Gen AI models can reason over large volumes of data and interactions, it’s easier to scale your app to accommodate the growing needs of your user base without compromising app performance. Additionally, when you combine and orchestrate multiple AI models with different functional components of your app, you can easily automate repetitive tasks and processes. In the next few minutes, I’ll walk you through choosing the right AI model for your app, and as part of that, how to compare models, as well as your options to deploy and minimize the cost of inference, all from the studio in Azure AI as well as in code. First, let’s take a look at model choice.
-Here, the choice you have today to incorporate different classes of AI models in your apps has never been broader. Everything from large language models capable of sophisticated reasoning based on their vast open-world knowledge comprising multiple billions, and even trillions of parameters hosted on Azure supercomputer infrastructure, to powerful quantized small language models that can also run locally and offline, such as the Phi family of models from Microsoft. In the studio, we provide a continually expanding central location to bring you the best selection of AI models as you develop your apps. The Model Catalog in Azure AI currently hosts more than 1,700 models, both premium models and hundreds of open models organized by collections. There are even regional flavored large language models, such as Core42 JAIS that support the Arabic spoken language, and Mistral Large, focused on European spoken languages. All models available on Azure have been vetted to meet Microsoft’s stringent security and compliance standards, which you can learn more about at aka.ms/AzureAImodelcontrols.
-Additionally, using the Hidden Layer Model Scanner, models are scanned for embedded malware and back doors and common vulnerabilities and exposures to detect tampering and corruption across model layers before being hosted on Azure. Importantly, the choice you get with the Azure AI service also extends to how you can access these models, from your favorite tools and languages via the Azure AI model inference API, which with its unified API schema, works across all models, making it super easy to switch between models. It’s also integrated with LLM app development tools like LangChain, as well as Semantic Kernel, Azure AI Prompt Flow and more. We also let you choose your embedding model for vector generations such as ADA from OpenAI or Cohere.
-Next, with access to so much choice, let’s get into choosing the right AI model for your needs. Here, it’s essential to clearly define your app’s use case and the specific tasks it needs to accomplish, where in the Azure AI studio, you can start by filtering models by inferencing task. For example, if natural language processing is the main priority, for tasks like chat completion, you can see recommendations for models like OpenAI ChatGPT, Microsoft’s various SLMs like Phi models, Meta’s Llama or Mistral as options. For audio-focused tasks like speech recognition or generating speech from text, you could consider OpenAI Whisper, or for computer vision tasks like text to image for generating contextually relevant images from text prompts, DALL-E 3 and Stability AI appear as potential options.
-Now, if you need more precision and domain knowledge, here is where you can proactively look for off-the-shelf models, for example, Nixtla’s TimeGEN model for time-series forecasting and anomaly detection. Additionally, if you and your team have the expertise, you can start with a foundational base model and fine-tune the model you want right from Azure AI. That said, ultimately top of everyone’s mind is cost. Here, to optimize your app budget, you have the choice of hundreds of free open models, and even if you start there, you can move on to more performant models as needed, and that’s where our Model as a Service lets you use our Serverless API option that provides serverless pricing for dozens of foundational models with pay-go inference input and output tokens to literally pay as you go.
-Alternatively, you can choose to run hundreds of open models on hosted hardware with pay-per-GPU managed compute. The trade-offs based on your use case lie in model quality and the sophistication of the models themselves, combined with the impact on inference costs. As you start to build your app prototype, the good news is the studio in the Azure AI service makes it really easy for you to make decisions on choosing the right AI model for your app. One path is to choose one and experiment. Of course, you’ll need an Azure subscription and access to Azure AI for that, and once you select Deploy, that’s going to connect your Azure subscription with the Azure marketplace, so that you can be billed for use.
-From there, in the studio playground, it’s easy to test the model you’ve deployed by crafting the system message to instruct the model on the purpose and style of response, and you can experiment with sample prompts to test the output based on its open world knowledge. You can even continue this experimentation by adding your own data and testing the model responses in context of your data. And by the way, your prompts and completions are not shared with model providers or used for training models, it’s your private data. That said, you’ll likely want to compare multiple models, and that’s where model benchmarks come in. For example, if you’re looking to build an app primarily for chat completion, once you’ve filtered the list in the model catalog, you can head over to Model benchmarks, which are scored based on multiple industry datasets for breakdowns on each model across multiple categories. First is Model accuracy, which is just like it sounds. The line in the middle is based on averages across the different benchmarks.
-Next, Model coherence evaluates how well the model generates smooth and natural-sounding responses, then Model groundedness looks at how well the model refers to source materials in its default training set. Model fluency measures language proficiency of answers, Model relevance then scores how well the model meets expectation based on prompts, then Model similarity measures the similarity between a source data sentence and the generated response. And so now for example, if I want to optimize for Model coherence, I might decide to choose this Meta Llama 3.1 model, and I can also look at more details on model and the pricing.
-You can also apply Model Benchmarks to select your embedding model to create vectors, where data is given numeric, coordinate-like values to map similar terms based on contextual similarity. These are then used for vector-based search to retrieve grounding data for models in Retrieval Augmented Generation, the most common ones are also compared in the model benchmarks, and here, you’ll see which embeddings model perform best across categories like Classification, Clustering, and more.
-Beyond the studio, you can also compare different models using the Azure AI model inference package so that you can test models with your own data in your preferred coding environment. The only difference being the endpoint’s Target URI and Key, which makes it easy to switch between models. So, here we have, for example, set up three different notebooks using three different models to test generated answers from our custom data. Running them all at the same time with the same prompt can help provide like-for-like comparisons, and once you’ve made your model selection, have your app running, you can continue to evaluate how well it performs in code. There are basic built-in evaluators for Relevance, Fluency, Coherence, and Groundedness with scores for each on a one to five scale, and it will average your scores over a handful of runs. Additionally, you can use Application Insights dashboards to visualize model performance and other key metrics over time and across multiple runs, including detailed evaluation score trends, token usage over time and by model, which can help you evaluate costs, along with model duration, which is useful if you’re testing multiple models.
-So, now you know the essential steps for evaluating AI models based on your use case, from initial considerations to comparing models, and exploring deployment options with Azure AI. Beyond the model choices we give you, you can also benefit from responsible AI controls with content filters that work for prompt inputs as well as generated response outputs, and the Azure platform overall provides the scalability, intelligence, and security your Gen AI apps need, including extensive global data center reach, seamless integration with other Microsoft products, and of course, one of the most comprehensive suites of AI and machine learning tools and more.

bug in MS Office 356 (Excel)
“Hello Microsoft,
I have noticed a bug in MS Office 356, specifically in Excel. If we don’t have a license for Office 365, the application prompts us to activate the product via the activation wizard. However, if we open the wizard and then open any saved Excel file, after closing the first file using the taskbar (not the task manager), the second file works normally. I can edit, save, and use all the toolbar features without any issue. I believe this is a bug in the product, as I haven’t observed the same behavior in Word , outlook and PowerPoint.”

New Blog | Enhancing Server and Container Risk Score Analysis in Power BI
By iulio Astori
Microsoft Defender for Cloud provides vulnerability assessments for both virtual machines (servers) and container images, identifying vulnerabilities as Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs). The risk posed by each CVE is assessed using the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS), providing a standardized numerical score that ranges from 0.0 to 10.0, translated into severity ratings like Low, Medium, High, or Critical. While Microsoft Defender for Cloud provides a robust risk level assessment for each resource, there is an opportunity to enhance this by integrating additional factors such as the exploitability of each CVE, the age since it was made public, and whether the CVE is a zero-day vulnerability. Additionally, resources themselves have contextual elements such as the number of attack paths, which can significantly impact their overall risk. The Power BI solution builds Defender for Cloud’s capabilities by integrating these multiple factors, providing a more comprehensive risk score for each resource and enhancing the prioritization of vulnerabilities requiring urgent remediation. This combined approach allows users to generate a more accurate top-down list of resources needing attention.

SharePoint SE: Dropdown menu navigation not available
Dear all,
in SharePoint 2016 OnPrem it was possible to use dropdown menus in the horizontal navigation bar. In SharePoint SE I do not find an option for this. There isn’t even an Edit button for the horizontal navigation. How can we do this?
e.g. in 2016 we had the following structure:
Site Collection for an Institution:
sharepoint.<institution>.de => Home
sharepoint.<institution>.de/projects
sharepoint.<institution>.de/projects/project-a
sharepoint.<institution>.de/projects/project-b
…etc.
sharepoint.<institution>.de/administration
sharepoint.<institution>.de/administration/department-a
sharepoint.<institution>.de/administration/department-b
…etc.
In the horizontal navigation we had the buttons from left to right:
Home (lead to the home page of the site collection -> also missing, not available any more, home leads now to “Projects” or “Administration” but there is no Home button that leads to the real home site of the site collection)Projects (-> dropdown button, following a list for all project subsites)Administration (-> dropdown button, following a list for all project subsites)
The dropdown menus were automatically created when we created a new subsite, this does not happen any more.
=> All of this seems not to exist in SharePoint SE or don’t we find it?

Edge prompts users that it is out of date when a target version is set in Intune
Hello,
We are using the target channel override and target version policies in Intune to control when our users receive Edge updates. Our target version is currently 128.0.2739.42.
Despite this, Edge is showing an update notification to our users. When they click on it in the menu, they get a message that says “Microsoft Edge couldn’t update to the latest version, so you’re missing out on new features and security fixes.”
I looked through the log for Microsoft Edge Update, and at no point did it try to download and install a new Edge version. The only update it performed was for WebView2.
I found this thread:
Edge UpdatePolicy – Disable automatic updates leads to “Microsoft Edge is out of Date” – Microsoft Community Hub
However, this registry value is set to INBX (Inbox, I guess?) in our environment. I couldn’t find any documentation about what this means. I tried changing this to GCEU as described in the thread, but this did not change the behavior long term. The message initially goes away after a restart, but comes back some time later.
We are intentionally controlling our update rollouts and do not want our users knowing or caring Edge is out of date. Does anyone know how to suppress these warnings? This kind of seems like a bug.
Thanks!
Andrew

the model testing craps out most of the time on the yes/no and doesnt put a carriage return between the answers so i end up with a row like 1. yes 2. no. suggestions are form redesign to stack the yes no’s, but not an option now. ive attempted to parse with python regex, but the model is spitting out garbage sometimes (ocr is attempting to read the actual check or ‘x’ value and adding it to the results. any suggestions would be deeply appreciated. thanks.

Linking action items from meeting notes to tasks in Project for the Web (new planner)
What is everyone doing currently for transferring action items from meeting notes, for example MS OneNote, into Project for the Web (P4W) tasks (new Planner). I’ve tried MS Loop, but Microsoft didn’t seem to integrate into P4W. I’ve tried using power automate, but P4W tasks/environments seem to be buried in Dataverse land.

MS Defender for Enpoint Service name is invalid
So, using the downloadable script to just run and install/onboard a client. But, when it starts it gives error:
[Error Id: 15, Error Level: 1] Unable to start Microsoft Defender for Endpoint Service. Error message: The service name is invalid.
For more information, visit: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?linkid=822807
Windows 11 Pro latest monthly updates. Nothing more to this install, it is fresh/new. There is no service by the name. No idea how this can be fixed, searched high/low and nothing. Seemingly, some reg entry changes it’s ability of the built-in one? Event viewer says same error.
All computers are not joined to any domains locally. Computer is Entra registered in Cloud. Not sure how this Windows Defender service even gets installed. Apparently there is no downloadable manual file installed/uninstaller etc?
Any help appreciated.

Trigger a cell based on the content of another cell
I am trying to have a create a few conditional formulas or triggers and I am missing the logical argument somewhere. I am trying to get cells in Column J to automatically enter “All Sources” if the selection in Column F is “Term”
I am using Data Validation on most columns and rows in this form, but these are automatic selections regardless of the remainder of the information.
I am not sure if this is best served by a rule, conditional formatting, a formula, or some other option that my brain is skipping. Thank you in advance for any guidance.
