Get AI ready: Build skills with Microsoft Learn
As AI transforms the way we work, business leaders around the world are exploring ways to implement AI solutions. And technology professionals are looking to quickly build their AI skills to benefit their careers, projects, and teams.
At the same time, organizations are confronting a skills gap. In fact, according to the 2024 Work Trend Index Annual Report from Microsoft and LinkedIn, 55% of leaders report that they’re concerned about having enough talent to fill roles in the year ahead and 76% of professionals say that they need AI skills to remain competitive. The good news is that Microsoft Learn offers skill-building resources, opportunities, and solutions to meet these critical needs.
To accelerate AI transformation, we recommend a skills-first approach—emphasizing skills and competencies, in addition to degrees and job histories. We suggest focusing on skill building for your whole organization:
Take a structured approach. Begin with basic AI concepts as technical teams build the skills to onboard Microsoft Copilot experiences and create AI apps. Help business users understand how to use AI in their work, and help ensure that those in technical roles have the skills to design, build, and deploy solutions to address your organization’s unique business scenarios.
Upskill across every role. Beyond IT, everyone in your organization plays a key role in company-wide AI adoption. To help develop, deploy, and make the best use of new AI solutions, upskill your entire workforce.
Work with a trusted partner. Start with the AI learning hub on Microsoft Learn, which offers training to accelerate your AI transformation. With Microsoft Learn, business leaders can get the skills to craft strategic AI plans, technical teams can learn to create and implement AI applications with Microsoft AI solutions, and business users can make the most of new AI skills to supercharge their productivity.
Discover the latest industry insights around AI skills in our recently published position paper Accelerate AI transformation with skill building, which highlights the experiences of customers and partners who are running AI skill-building initiatives. Offering practical guidance, it expands on key ways that you can drive successful AI transformation in your organization.

Create a custom field in the new Microsoft Planner
When executing on a plan, tracking various aspects like task status or risks is crucial for managing progress. With the new Planner, you can create custom fields helping teams stay on top of what matters most for their initiatives, making it easier and faster to identify and assess where things are on track and what needs follow up.
Creating a custom field
1. Once you create your premium Plan, go to the Grid view, select Add column > New field.
2. Choose an appropriate field Type:
3. Enter a Field name, then select Create.
Note: You can create up to 10 custom fields in a premium plan.
Choose a type for custom field
There are several types of custom fields available, each serving a different purpose:
Text: Can contain any characters. Use it to add columns for justifications, notes, or descriptions.
Date: Can contain any date. You can type it in yourself or select from a calendar. Use it to track important dates, such as approval dates.
Number: Can only contain numbers. You can optionally “rollup” values in subtasks with Max, Min, Sum, and Average calculations. When you create the number field, choose your Rollup type. Try it by creating a number column called “Estimate” and use a Sum calculation for it. Use this column to estimate the amount of work it will take to complete the task.
Yes/No: This field offers a drop-down list with “Yes” and “No” options, which can be used to track quality or process checks.
Choice: Create a drop-down list with 2 to 20 options, including characters and emojis. For example, you can add a “Risk” field with a few choices such as “High”, “Medium” and “Low”.
To add emojis, on Windows press Win + ; (Windows key plus semicolon) and on Mac, press Control + Command + Space.
You can add colors to each choice to make it easier to review the state of work in the grid view. You can do so by selecting the paint bucket icon or you can remove the colors by selecting the trash can icon.
Copy or Edit the custom fields
You can copy an existing plan as a template to leverage its structure for a new project. This process also copies all custom fields, allowing you to easily reuse your previous setup.
You can easily edit any custom field you add by selecting ‘Edit’ from the custom column menu in the Grid view. You can also add custom coloring or filtering based on the content in the custom fields.
Ready to start using it all?
If you currently use Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Teams, explore the new Planner app in Teams, and try the premium capabilities from within the Planner app by simply clicking on the diamond icon within the app where you can begin your free 30-day trial of these advanced capabilities or proceed with requesting a premium license. If you already have a Project license you’re already equipped with access to the new Planner’s premium capabilities corresponding to the license you have.
Share your feedback
You can share feedback through the new Planner app in Teams directly. You can also send us your feedback via the Planner Feedback Portal.
Here is how you can share your feedback directly from within the new Planner app.

Autopilot Resett and MFA for Device Registration
MFA is enforced over CA-Policy for Device Registration.
When we apply an autopilot-resett via Intune admin center, the assigned user must login again and perform MFA after autopilot Provisioning. Otherwise the userbased apps and policies are not assigned and the device is not full enrolled. Is there a solution to perform mfa during esp in autopilot?

Bad Request – Request Too Long HTTP Error 400. The size of the request headers is too long.
I am moving a web site from Windows Server 2012 to Windows Server 2022. When I open my web site, I receive the error message: Bad Request – Request Too Long HTTP Error 400. The size of the request headers is too long.
When I inspected the headers, they were only 640 characters long. I have cleared my cache and flushed DNS to no avail.
This error doesn’t happen all the time, just sporadically. How do I fix this so that it doesn’t happen.

Azure DevOps REST API – retrieve DevOps Server/TFS version
Hi all,
I need to support multiple Azure DevOps Server/TFS instances. Is there a REST API to retrieve the version + other “system” info of a given instance?
The ideal would be something like /status/health API (only available for DevOps Services), not even requiring authentication.
Is there something similar?
Thanks in advance!

Teams personal app – There was a problem reaching this app
The bug occurs when the personal app requests video permission and the user reloads the app during this process. The reload loads the app, but the video permission request throws an error: “DOMException: Failed due to shutdown”. This error indicates that the next reload will cause the app to break.
Once this bug occurs, all personal apps fail to load, displaying the error message: “There was a problem reaching this app.” The only ways to open the app without encountering this bug are to open it in a new window or restart Microsoft Teams.
System Information:
• OS: macOS Sonoma 14.3
• CPU: Apple M1 Pro
• Microsoft Teams version: 24180.207.2997.1350
• Teams client version: 50/24062724814
Additional Notes:
The bug does not seem to occur on Windows, suggesting it may be specific to the macOS version of Microsoft Teams.The page that the personal app opens requests camera permission everytime that the page loads
Steps to Replicate:
1.Open the personal app.
2.Reload the app when the camera icon appears in the macOS menu bar.
3.Observe that the app loads but encounters an error when trying to get permissions: DOMException: Failed due to shutdown (indicating the next reload will fail).
4.Reload the app again.
5.The bug should now be replicated.
When the bug occurs, the screen display this page, if you have a loading indicator, else displays a blank page.
Bug – There was a problem reaching this app
I don’t know if this is the better place to create this bug, if not, please redirect me for the correct place. Thank you!

Admin accounts which do not have the flag “This account is sensitive and cannot be delegated”
Hi AD Brain trust,
I’m currently working on a security assessment for our internal AD environment. One of the item in the report is – Presence of Admin accounts which do not have the flag “This account is sensitive and cannot be delegated”: 6
I’m struggling to understand the consequences of setting the flag for admin accounts. If anyone can shed some lights on the implications/recommendations to resolve this detection would be greatly appreciated !
Thank you!

System.InvalidCastException: The COM object of the type “Outlook.ApplicationClass” cannot be convert
Hello everyone,
We have an Outlook addon that communicates with our application. Our application used to be 32 bit. However, we changed it to 64 bit.
We use the Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook DLL to create emails, appointments and so on.
Recently we have been having problems with creating objects and unfortunately we do not know what exactly the problem is.
We always get an exception like this:
System.InvalidCastException: Das COM-Objekt des Typs “Outlook.ApplicationClass” kann nicht in den Schnittstellentyp “Outlook._Application” umgewandelt werden.
Dieser Vorgang konnte nicht durchgeführt werden, da der QueryInterface-Aufruf an die COM-Komponente für die Schnittstelle mit der IID “{00063001-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}” aufgrund des folgenden Fehlers nicht durchgeführt werden konnte:
Element nicht gefunden. (Ausnahme von HRESULT: 0x8002802B (TYPE_E_ELEMENTNOTFOUND)).
bei System.StubHelpers.StubHelpers.GetCOMIPFromRCW(Object objSrc, IntPtr pCPCMD, IntPtr& ppTarget, Boolean& pfNeedsRelease)
bei Outlook.ApplicationClass.GetNamespace(String Type)
or
System.InvalidCastException: Das COM-Objekt des Typs “Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.ApplicationClass” kann nicht in den Schnittstellentyp “Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook._Application”
umgewandelt werden. Dieser Vorgang konnte nicht durchgeführt werden, da der QueryInterface-Aufruf an die COM-Komponente für die Schnittstelle mit der
IID “{00063001-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}” aufgrund des folgenden Fehlers nicht durchgeführt werden konnte: Fehler beim Laden der Typbibliothek/DLL.
(Ausnahme von HRESULT: 0x80029C4A (TYPE_E_CANTLOADLIBRARY)).
bei System.StubHelpers.StubHelpers.GetCOMIPFromRCW(Object objSrc, IntPtr pCPCMD, IntPtr& ppTarget, Boolean& pfNeedsRelease)
bei Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.ApplicationClass.get_Session()
The only solutions we found online were to repair Office, which we and our customers did. Unfortunately, it only works for a few days or weeks and then the problem reappears.
We tried to reproduce the problem with a powershell script and we could. This is the script:
$Outlook = New-Object -ComObject Outlook.Application
$Mail = $Outlook.CreateItem(0) # 0 steht für MailItem
$Mail.Subject = “Test E-Mail von PowerShell”
$Mail.Body = “Dies ist eine Test-E-Mail, die mit PowerShell erstellt wurde.”
$Mail.Display()
Write-Host “Das E-Mail-Fenster wurde angezeigt.”
[System.Runtime.Interopservices.Marshal]::ReleaseComObject($Mail) | Out-Null
[System.Runtime.Interopservices.Marshal]::ReleaseComObject($Outlook) | Out-Null
What is the problem? Could the problem be related to Windows group policies? If so, which ones?
We have a lot of customers that have this problem so we need help asp.
Thanks and best regards

What’s new in Viva Connections mid-year update
We’re excited to announce a range of new capabilities for Viva Connections designed to bring your Viva Connections experiences into the flow of work, add customization to the Spotlight feature, understand how users are engaging with the app and bring new integrations into dashboard cards. Here’s what’s new:
New ways to stay connected
Viva Connections is all about connecting you to the things you need, and now, you can get Desktop Notifications to ensure you don’t miss the latest news and announcements. And updated notification settings and performance improvements give you additional control on what you see, faster loading, tablet personalization, and helpful tools like inline authoring.
To better connect your employees to the resources they need most, we’ve recently rolled out the ability to import global navigation items into the Viva Connections Resources tab.
We’ve also released Viva Connections on the web that brings a dynamic, beautiful app experience directly into the browser.
Communicating through the employee app
The new customizable Spotlight offers communicators a sleek, above-the-fold section to highlight key news. Up to eleven pieces of news can be added to the Spotlight carousel for announcements and campaigns that need extra emphasis and durability.
Highlight key news and campaigns with Spotlight
New communication features also enable Regional Announcements, which provides additional attribute-based targeting based on job, title, and location. This is specifically geared for reaching Frontline Workers (FLWs) working in different regions, branches, stores, or departments by using filtering.
Learn more about how to set up regional filtering and using FLW announcements. Note this feature requires Frontline licensing.
Analytics
Admins can now understand how and when users engage with components of the Viva Connections experience. You can see data on overall traffic, usage, and engagement across each of your organization’s Connections experiences. Learn more about how to access usage data here.
Cards
Dashboard cards in Viva Connections are the building blocks to a modern employee experience. A few months ago, we previewed a few cards for frontline workers which are now available.
Pulse Card – The Viva Pulse card in Viva Connections allows you to create Pulse survey (s) via the dashboard, giving employees a quick and targeted way to share feedback and participate in workplace surveys. Once the survey is complete, the owner can view the response rate right on the card.
Assigned Tasks Card
The Assigned Tasks card automatically displays information to users about their assigned tasks to. This information is retrieved from the Tasks app in Teams and enables users to quickly take action and accomplish tasks right from their dashboard.
OneDrive Card update
This new card allows organizations to add a OneDrive Files Card to the Viva Connections dashboard, showing recently accessed, shared, or favorite files. This card is now generally available and requires no action for setup.
Learn more about our Viva Connections dashboard cards in this blog.
We’re excited about the future of Viva Connections as more and more enterprises and frontline workers have built this app into their daily and weekly habits. We’ll have more updates to share soon — stay tuned!

ISBLANK used with TODAY() but text in cell gives a #VALUE! error
Hi there, I have formula to give a blank if there is not an entry in the cell I am calculating the date on, but my added secondary level is that if the cell contains text rather than a date in it, then it returns #VALUE!
So I have =IF(ISBLANK(E5),” “,E5-TODAY()) which gives a result of 37 – as in number of days left as E5 contains a date 37 days from today
But then I have =IF(ISBLANK(F5),” “,F5-TODAY()) which gives a result of #VALUE! and this is because cell F5 contains text
I assume it needs to be something like either AND OR ISERROR ISNUMBER combined with the IF ISBLANK above, but my brain cannot compute what it needs and neither can searching for an answer as I probably am not asking for the correct thing!
Thanks in advance

What is Microsoft doing do battle the decline of Windows Server in the cloud?
What is Microsoft doing do battle the decline of Windows Server in the cloud?
This is based on the news coming from the cma battle in the UK:
https://www.theregister.com/2024/07/24/microsoft_cloud_cma/
This coming from someone that has invested 15+ years in learning and using Windows Server.
Are there any hints as to how Microsoft might look at fixing this?

Connector Exchange Server with Exchange Online
I made Send Connector on the Exchange Server (SmartHost) and Inbound Connector on the M365 IP Public Exchange Server.
I also made an outbound connector on M365 which led to on Premise using an IP Public Exchange Server.
Some users are in M365 and some are on on Premise, and MX Pointing to M365.
Some of my email delivery scenarios do:
1. Delivery of emails from User M365 to User on Premise runs well, as well as contrary.
2. Delivery of email from external user to user on premise runs well.
3. Delivery of email from user on premise to external user runs well.
4. Delivery of emails from user on premise to other users on premise then forward to the user M365 runs well.
5. Delivery of email from external user to user on premise then forward to user m365 runs well, log below:
6. Delivery of emails from external user to user on premise then forward to external user “failed” with information such as the log below:
please advice,

Word Export to Kindle feature and DLP.
Just wondering if anyone has found a way to control exports to Kindle, other than disabling the feature via a cloud policy.
I don’t want to disable the feature, I’m sure it will serve a purpose for some users, but I would like to prevent the export of certain information.
Thanks,
Neil.

Problems with current week views and next weeks views in list
Hello all.
I have a sharepoint list of “changes” made at my workplace. Currently, I made a view which displays the changes for the current week, as well as a view displaying changes for the next week. This is based on the week number of the changes, not within a set 7 day time frame as this would maybe miss out changes of the coming monday if you were to look at the view on Friday.
I calculated the week number of each change by using the “FROM” field of the change i;e “Date_Start”. I then compared this to another varible called week current which calculates the week number we are presently in so it changes by itself, ie doesnt use a static value; if they are equal this the change is displayed in the view. I did the same thing basically for the nex week view except I added 1 as it would be the week number + 1.
The problem arises now that each time we enter a new week, the changes from the previous week are carried through and the list doesn’t update unless I make a manual change/ edit to refresh things. I found out its because “FROM” is static so never auto updates, or calculated values don’t auto update that is. Does anyone know how I can achieve what i did below using JSON, so that I dont need to manually refresh?
