Correct the highlighted errors and try again
Hello,
This is pushing me to the edges.
Whenever I send private messages I got below errors. I don’t even know what it means, and no idea on how to fix it.
I am using Google Chrome on Mac (if that is useful information).
I tried to send test message that contains only text to myself, no URLs, no attachment, no spelling errors, no special characters, still got this error.
And the most exciting thing about this: if I click the send button more than twice, I will be locked out of sending any private messages at all for at least one hour.
Can anyone help?????

Copilot teams – mobile issues
Hello I’ve published my copilot studio on Teams.
Whenever I use the desktop computer, everything works fine.
When I use the mobile application, if I am not authenticated on MS Teams on the desktop, when a generative node is called, the app simply does not respond, without returning any error. As soon as I access the chat on the desktop computer, all pending responses are returned and synchronized in the mobile app. If I am authenticated on MS Teams on the desktop, the mobile application also works fine. I also tested this: when I use the mobile application, if I have an active authentication on MS Teams in the mobile browser with the desktop site enabled, the mobile application also works fine. I have also tested the following, but always with the same result of the mobile application not responding to generative nodes: – I tried different Wi-Fi networks and mobile data – I reinstalled the app on my phone – I cleared the cache in the mobile app – I tested on both Android and iOS – I tested with different users Any idea why the mobile application doesn’t work with generative nodes when I don’t have an active authentication on a desktop version?

Why can’t I disable the SharePoint PDF previewer?
Hi,
Whenever I select a PDF it opens in it’s own PDF previewer. Problem with this is I open files in a new tab and when you press the X in the top right it drops you back to the file library. This confuses users on smart devices who want to go back to the page they just launched the PDF from. I’m just looking to open with the Browsers’ PDF viewer so when they press the X it closes the tab completely.
Have tried the standard site collection and file library settings to use the client app without success – Unless there’s a specific combo or different (additional) setting that makes this work?
Thanks in advance.

Deploy Mkdocs page on Azure Web App
MkDocs is a simple static site generator that’s geared towards building project documentation. Documentation source files are written in Markdown, and configured with a single YAML configuration file.
This tutorial will demonstrate how to host an Mkdocs project dynamically or statically. You can choose either method to publish your project based on your needs, and the two approaches are independent of each other.
TOC:
Dynamic Hosting in Development Environment
Static Hosting in Development Environment
Dynamic Method: Using Python Web App
Static Method: Using Node Web App
Static Method: Using Static Web App
References
Dynamic Hosting in Development Environment
STEP 1:
Use VSCode to open an empty folder. Start a terminal and input the following commands to create a Python virtual environment and switch the current session to this environment.
Windows
python -m venv .venv
..venvScriptsActivate.ps1
Linux
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/Scripts/activate
STEP 2:
Enter the following commands to create an Mkdocs project (for example, my-project), switch to the project directory, and start the project. You will then be able to visit the project page in your browser at http://127.0.0.1:8000.
pip install mkdocs
mkdocs new my-project
cd my-project
mkdocs serve
Static Hosting in Development Environment
STEP 1:
Once the project is created in the development environment, the pages originally displayed must be rendered using Python and the Mkdocs package. We can run the following commands to build these pages into pure static HTML, making them deployable to any static website hosting service, such as Azure Static Website or the Azure Web App introduced here.
After the project is built, you will find the corresponding static web pages in the newly created site subfolder. You can open index.html in your browser to see the project page.
mkdocs build
Dynamic Method: Using Python Web App
STEP 1:
Create a Linux Python Web App on Azure.
STEP 2:
Using VSCode, add two files, “mkdocs.sh” and “.deployment”, to the root directory of your project.
mkdocs.sh
pip install mkdocs
cd /home/site/wwwroot/my-project/
mkdocs serve -a 0.0.0.0:8000
.deployment
[config]
SCM_DO_BUILD_DURING_DEPLOYMENT=false
STEP 3:
Deploy the root directory of the project to the Python app you just created using VSCode.
STEP 4:
On Azure, find the Python app and modify the startup command as follows, then restart the app.
bash /home/site/wwwroot/mkdocs.sh
STEP 5:
Check if your project is running correctly.
Static Method: Using Node Web App
STEP 1:
Create a Linux Node Web App on Azure.
STEP 2:
In the Mkdocs subfolder of your project, find the site folder, and add a .deployment file inside it.
.deployment
[config]
SCM_DO_BUILD_DURING_DEPLOYMENT=false
STEP 3:
Deploy the “site” subdirectory of your project to the Node app you just created using VSCode.
STEP 4:
On Azure, find the Node app, modify the startup command, and restart the app.
pm2 serve /home/site/wwwroot –no-daemon
STEP 5:
Check if your project is running correctly.
Static Method: Using Static Web App
STEP 0:
You can create a GitHub repository for the entire project folder (for example, I’ve named it mkdocs-app), or you may choose to only upload the “site” subdirectory, depending on your needs. In this example, I’ll use the entire project folder.
STEP 1:
Create a Static Web App on Azure and specify your project’s GitHub repository and the corresponding branch during the process. Please note that you’ll also need to set your App Location/Output Location as follows, adjusting the name to your “mkdocs project” (for example, my-project).
./my-project/site
STEP 2:
Once the SWA is created, you can check the deployment status in the GitHub repository. After the deployment is complete, you’ll be able to see the actual page.
STEP 3:
Verify that your project is running properly.

Cross Subscription Database Restore for SQL Managed Instance Database with TDE enabled using ADF
Our customers require daily refreshes of their production database to the non-production environment. The database, approximately 600GB in size, has Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) enabled in production. Disabling TDE before performing a copy-only backup is not an option, as it would take hours to disable and re-enable. To meet customer needs, we use a customer-managed key stored in Key Vault. Azure Data Factory is then utilized to schedule and execute the end-to-end database restore process.
Permission requires
To perform backup and restore operations, the SQL Managed Instance Managed Identity needs to have the “Contributor, Storage Blob Data Contributor” permission for the blob storage.
To transfer backup files between two storage locations, ADF managed identity needs the “Storage Blob Data Contributor” permission for the blob storage.
To carry out backup and restore operations, ADF managed identity needs ‘sysadmin’ permissions on SQL Managed Instance.
To enable Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) with a customer-managed key, ensure you have Contributor access to the Resource Group (RG) where the SQL managed instance resides.
Establish an Azure Key vault access policy for the SQL managed instance’s managed identity and the user configuring Transparent Data Encryption (TDE), granting them full key permissions.
Step 1
Create a TDE key in the non-production Azure Key Vault dev-kv-001 within the same subscription as the non-production SQL Managed Instance.
Name the key, select RSA with a 2048-bit key size, and leave the active and expiration dates unset for this demonstration. Ensure the key is enabled, and do not set a rotation policy. Finally, click Create.
Step 2
Establish an Azure Key vault access policy for the SQL managed instance’s managed identity and the user configuring Transparent Data Encryption (TDE), granting them full key permissions.
Step 3
Backup the TDE key we just created with in non-prod key vault
Step 4
Create a new Key Vault dev-kv-002 and proceed to restore the key within this newly created vault. Ensure the name matches the backed-up key name and that the status is set to enabled.
Step 5
Move the new dev-kv-002 Azure Key Vault from the development (non-prod) subscription to the production subscription. This process may take a few minutes as it validates the ability to move the Key vault.
Step 6
Having successfully moved our Key Vault dev-kv-002 to the production subscription, we will now proceed to backup (Follow step 3) the Key for restoration in the actual production Key vault prod-kv-001
Step 7
We are now prepared to link the keys we created with their respective Azure SQL Managed Instances in both the development and production environments. The objective is to maintain the same key in the backup, enabling us to refresh our production environment into development seamlessly.
We will simultaneously execute these actions in both our Production and Development SQL Managed Instances. Begin by accessing your portal blades for the SQL Managed Instances. Once there, navigate to the SQL Managed Instance blade and select Transparent Data Encryption under the Security section.
To enable a successful production refresh of our development environment, we need to switch from Service-managed keys to Customer-managed keys.
Step: 8
Creates a server-level credential. A credential is a record that contains the authentication information that is required to connect to a resource outside SQL Server.
USE master
CREATE CREDENTIAL [https://<mystorageaccountname>.blob.core.windows.net/<mystorageaccountcontainername>]
WITH IDENTITY=’Managed Identity’
GO
Step: 9
Create ADF link service connects for both SQL Managed Instances and storage accounts.
Create ADF dataset using both SQL Managed Instances and storage accounts link services
Step: 10
If you’re utilizing a private endpoint, make sure to set up an ADF integration runtime and a managed link follow Create Azure Data Factory Managed Private Links
Step: 11
Create ADF pipeline to take database backup from source.
Split backup files into multiple files for faster backup
Use below scripts to take copy only database backup
Use Script activity to execute the backup scripts using source SQL MI link service
BACKUP DATABASE [@{pipeline().parameters.source_database_name}]
TO URL = N’https://<storageaccountname>.blob.core.windows.net/databaserefresh/@{pipeline().parameters.source_database_name}_01.bak’,
URL = N’https:// <storageaccountname>.blob.core.windows.net/databaserefresh/@{pipeline().parameters.source_database_name}_02.bak’,
URL = N’https:// <storageaccountname>.blob.core.windows.net/databaserefresh/@{pipeline().parameters.source_database_name}_03.bak’,

URL = N’https:// <storageaccountname>.blob.core.windows.net/databaserefresh/@{pipeline().parameters.source_database_name}_07.bak’,
URL = N’https:// <storageaccountname>.blob.core.windows.net/databaserefresh/@{pipeline().parameters.source_database_name}_08.bak’
WITH COPY_ONLY, MAXTRANSFERSIZE = 4194304, COMPRESSION, STATS = 10
Allow a minute for the backup to transfer to blob storage, adjusting the duration to meet your specific needs.
Step: 12
Create ADF pipeline to copy database backup files from source storage account to target storage account.
Use copy activity to copy backup files from source storage account to target storage account.
Allow a minute for the backup to transfer to blob storage, adjusting the duration to meet your specific needs.
Step: 13
Create Azure Data Factory pipeline to restore database to a target SQL Managed Instance backup from the designated storage account.
Use below scripts to restore database from designated storage account
Use Script activity to execute the restore scripts using target SQL MI link service
USE [master]
RESTORE DATABASE [@{pipeline().parameters.target_database_name}] FROM
URL = N’https://<storageaccountname>.blob.core.windows.net/databaserefresh/@{pipeline().parameters.source_database_name}_01.bak’,
URL = N’https://<storageaccountname>.blob.core.windows.net/databaserefresh/@{pipeline().parameters.source_database_name}_02.bak’,
URL = N’https:// <storageaccountname>.blob.core.windows.net/databaserefresh/@{pipeline().parameters.source_database_name}_03.bak’,
URL = N’https:// <storageaccountname>.blob.core.windows.net/databaserefresh/@{pipeline().parameters.source_database_name}_04.bak’,
URL = N’https:// <storageaccountname>.blob.core.windows.net/databaserefresh/@{pipeline().parameters.source_database_name}_05.bak’,
URL = N’https:// <storageaccountname>.blob.core.windows.net/databaserefresh/@{pipeline().parameters.source_database_name}_06.bak’,
URL = N’https:// <storageaccountname>.blob.core.windows.net/databaserefresh/@{pipeline().parameters.source_database_name}_07.bak’,
URL = N’https:// <storageaccountname>.blob.core.windows.net/databaserefresh/@{pipeline().parameters.source_database_name}_08.bak’
Step: 14
Set up an additional pipeline to remove orphan databases users, provide user access, or carry out any extra tasks needed after a restore, using the suitable activity task.
Step: 15
Create ADF pipeline workstation to execute all Step4 > Step5>Step6>Step7 in sequence.
Set up parameters for both the source_database_name and target_database_name to enable dynamic operation of the pipeline across different databases.

Selecting the Optimal Container for Azure AI: Docker, ACI, or AKS?
Deploying Azure AI services in containers like Docker, Azure Container Instances (ACI), or Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) provides several key benefits for organizations that want to build, scale, and manage AI-based applications. Here’s a breakdown of why each container option is valuable:
1. Docker (Local Development & Testing)
Portability: Containers allow AI models and services to be packaged with all their dependencies. You can run the same environment across different platforms (local machines, on-premises, cloud, etc.).
Ease of Testing: Developers can easily test and fine-tune AI services locally using Docker before deploying them in a production environment.
Consistency: Docker ensures that the environment is consistent across all stages of development, reducing the risk of “it works on my machine” problems.
Isolation: Each AI model or service runs in its isolated environment, minimizing conflicts between dependencies.
2. Azure Container Instances (ACI)
Simplicity: ACI provides a serverless container hosting environment, making it a great option for quick deployment without needing to manage complex infrastructure.
Scalability: Though not as robust as AKS, ACI allows you to scale individual container instances based on demand, which is good for running lightweight AI services.
Cost-Effective: You only pay for the compute resources your container consumes, which makes it ideal for short-lived, bursty AI workloads.
Integration with Azure Services: ACI integrates easily with other Azure services like Azure Machine Learning, Azure Functions, and Azure Logic Apps, making it easier to run AI models within broader workflows.
3. Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)
Scalability: AKS provides powerful, enterprise-grade orchestration and can manage thousands of containers, allowing AI services to scale dynamically based on demand.
High Availability: AKS offers automated load balancing, fault tolerance, and self-healing capabilities, making it ideal for deploying critical AI services in production.
Microservices: With AKS, you can break down AI services into microservices, each containerized and independently deployable, enabling modular and efficient application development.
CI/CD Pipeline Integration: AKS can easily integrate with DevOps workflows, enabling seamless updates, model retraining, and deployment of AI services.
Cost Efficiency for Large-Scale Workloads: When dealing with large-scale AI services, AKS provides better cost control through autoscaling, resource pooling, and spot instances.
General Benefits of Using Containers for AI Services
Fast Deployment: Containers allow for rapid deployment of AI services without lengthy setup or configuration processes.
Cloud and Hybrid Flexibility: AI services in containers can be run on-premises, in any cloud (including Azure, AWS, and GCP), or in hybrid environments. This flexibility supports diverse deployment strategies.
Version Control: Containers provide an isolated environment where different versions of AI models or services can run in parallel, enabling A/B testing or the running of multiple models simultaneously.
When to Use Each Option
Docker: Best for local development, testing, and small-scale deployments.
ACI: Ideal for lightweight, short-lived, or experimental AI workloads requiring quick deployment without the need to manage infrastructure.
AKS: Best for complex, large-scale, and mission-critical AI applications requiring scalability, orchestration, and high availability.
By deploying Azure AI services in these containerized environments, you gain flexibility, scalability, and the ability to manage the lifecycle of AI models efficiently across development and production stages.

Failed to Restore an Azure SQL Managed Instance Database from Azure Blob Storage
If you encounter issues while restoring an Azure SQL Managed Instance database from Azure blob storage, ensure that your database backup files are correctly stored in Azure blob storage.
Error: 1
Cannot open backup device ‘https://mystorageaccount.blob.core.windows.net/test_container/db_backup/mytest_db_01.bak‘. Operating system error 86(The specified network password is not correct.).
RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.
Cause of failure
The blob storage credential is either incorrect or missing.
To validate credential
I am utilizing managed identity, but the same approach applies to all identity types. SQL managed instance managed identity Storage Contributor and Storage Blob Data Contributor is require.
select * from sys.credentials
To create credentials
USE master
GO
CREATE CREDENTIAL [https:// mystorageaccount.blob.core.windows.net/db_backup/]
WITH IDENTITY=’Managed Identity’
GO
Error: 2

RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.
Cause of failure
The storage account’s public network access is disabled, relying solely on a private endpoint. However, the private endpoint was either configured incorrectly or associated with the wrong DNS zone, leading to connectivity issues. The private endpoint for blob storage must be created with privatelink.blob.core.windows.net Private DNS zone.
To validate private endpoint DNS configuration
Navigate Storage account > Network > Private Endpoint > Click Private Endpoint > Setting > DNS configuration.
FQDN: mystorage.privatelink.blob.core.windows.net
Private DNS Zone: privatelink.blob.core.windows.net

Microsoft Copilot for Sales is reimagining sales. Integrated seamlessly into your daily tools across Microsoft 365 and Teams, Copilot for Sales harnesses the power of generative AI and customer data to keep sellers in their flow of work so they can spend more time with customers.
This month we’re excited to announce the release of email banners* that allow you to quickly update CRM data – right from the email message!
* shown on up to 2 external emails per day in the new Outlook for Windows and in Outlook on the Web.
Capabilities highlighted below are included in this month’s release of Copilot for Sales. It may take time for specific capabilities to reach every tenant in each market.
In Outlook
Streamline CRM Tasks with actionable message banners in Outlook
Effective management of important day-to-day CRM tasks, such as adding new contacts or leads and saving customer emails, is crucial for maintaining productive customer relationships. However, these tasks can often be overlooked when exchanging emails with customers in Outlook, with sellers either unaware that these tasks can be completed using Copilot for Sales or needing to self-navigate through the sidecar to complete them.
To simplify this process and ensure that critical CRM updates are never missed, we’ve introduced Actionable Message Banners directly within the sellers’ Outlook inbox. When reading emails from external customers, these banners will surface contextual prompts that guide sellers to perform important actions directly through Copilot for Sales, such as adding new contacts or leads and saving emails to the CRM, all helping sellers stay organized and save valuable time.
Each banner is contextual to the email on which it’s shown, surfacing only relevant content and actions.
Clicking on an action will take the seller directly to the appropriate experience in the sidecar to complete the action.
Banners will be shown on up to 2 external emails per user per day.
Banners and other on-canvas experiences are available only in the new Outlook for Windows and Outlook for Web.

Here is an image of what appears when I try to call the webhook. And here’s what it looks like on adaptivecards.io {
“text”: “Datto Alert Raise on [device_hostname] [device_description] | [site_name]”,
“fallbackText”: “Datto Alert Resolve on [device_hostname] [device_description] | [site_name]”,
“$schema”: “http://adaptivecards.io/schemas/adaptive-card.json”,
“type”: “AdaptiveCard”,
“version”: “1.5”,

}
]
}
],

Delete Billing Profile/Billing Scope
There is no way to delete a billing profile or billing scope in Azure. Users can create a billing scope when setting up trial services but there is no way to purge these billing scopes. Why is this not possible?
