Read Aloud on Mac vs. Read Aloud on iPad
This should be simple, but it’s proving not to be.
I recently discovered that the Read Aloud voice on my iPad is worlds better than the Read Aloud voices available on my Mac.
I’ve downloaded the two “Premium” voices on the Mac, Ava and Zoe, and neither come close to the “female” voice on the iPad, which does a truly remarkable job of reading text out loud.
Does anyone know how to access that same female voice that’s on the iPad on the Mac?

ADF Lookup Stored Procedure Error
I have a stored procedure that has the following format:
If (@x = 1)
BEGIN
RETURN SCOPE_IDENTITY()
END
ELSE
BEGIN
RETURN COLUMN1
END
I’m using a Lookup in ADF and it gives me an error: The specified Stored Procedure is not valid. It could be caused by that the stored procedure doesn’t return any data.
How can I get the value from this stored procedure in ADF and save it to a variable without changing the stored procedure to say SELECT ID = @Scope_Identity() and keeping the RETURN xxxxx?

Conditional Formatting for column based off data in another column
Hi! I am looking to apply conditional formatting to cells in Column AC when adjacent cells in column AB are not blank.
For example, both columns will have dates. Column AB is start date, Column AC is finish date.
I would like any cell in Column AC to change color when its adjacent cell in Column AB has a date entered IF AC cell is blank. Once cell in AC also has a date, it would return to no fill format.

Failed to create AppDomain
I am trying to deploy my SSIS package to the SSISDB Catalog on SQL Server 2012. When I deploy I receive this error message:
Failed to create AppDomain “SSISDB.dbo[runtime].6”.

Access denied, sending domain does not pass DMARC verification and has a DMARC policy of reject
This is super annoying. I’m not using Microsoft “defender”. I’m on the receiving end of its stick.
I noticed that when I start sending emails back and forth with some business that uses Microsoft 365 Defender to handle their emails, it works for a few initial emails. Maybe .about 5. But then all of a sudden my messages start bouncing back with the following message:
“Diagnostic-Code: smtp;550 5.7.509 Access denied, sending domain ____.com does not pass DMARC verification and has a DMARC policy of reject.“
I tested my email for passing DMARC and found no issues with multiple services that do those DMARC tests. So the problem is clearly with the “defender“.
I also noticed that if I resend the message the next day, it goes through. But only if I don’t send too many emails – which is generally about 5.
Does anyone have any idea when will they fix it?

We tested the exact same stored procedures on SQL2019 System A and everything worked as expected. But it gives errors when we test on the SQL SERVER 2019 System B.
SQL Server A and SQL Server B are the same version, 2019 but something is causing these jobs to fail.
I’m not sure what to do next. Any thoughts/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Teams I no longer belong to still reappear in my Teams list
For several years, I’ve noticed that old teams I no longer belong to still appear in my Teams list. These are teams I initially created but later manually left through the Teams app. They show up in both Teams for the Web and Teams Desktop, affecting both Classic and New Teams versions. I assumed it was a bug that would eventually be fixed, but after about three years, they still persist.
I’ve tried clearing the Teams cache, browser cache, reinstalling Teams, and other troubleshooting steps, but the issue remains. It seems to be some kind of bug or persistent cloud caching. Even after leaving these teams years ago, they still reappear. When I click on one, I get an error message saying I no longer have access, and then it disappears, only to return within a day or two. Has anyone else experienced this issue?

New Outlook for Windows: a guide for Executive Assistants and Delegates – part 2
This blog captures some calendar tips to help executive assistants and delegates better navigate their time management needs in the new Outlook.
1. Find time and request in-person event
When scheduling a meeting, click on ‘Find a time’ to easily find suitable time slots on the attendee’s calendars. You can view availability by hovering on the attendee icon. You can also request in-person attendance by turning on the ‘In-person event’ toggle on. You can still add a Teams meeting link for attendees who may not be able to join in person.
2. Use Scheduling Assistant
Use the scheduling assistant to easily find time for meetings. In the new Outlook, you can view the attendee time zones and schedule labels in the Scheduling Assistant. Note that attendee time zones are shown only if at least one attendee is in a different time.
3. Automatic online meetings
In the new Outlook, all meetings are online by default. The Teams meeting toggle is turned on when you add attendees to a meeting. Unlike classic Outlook, the Teams meeting link and details are added after the invite is sent. You can then view the meeting invite to see and copy the Teams meeting details. We are working to update this behavior and pre-create meeting links so you will see the experience match classic Outlook in future.
Note – you can update every meeting online setting from Settings> Calendar > Events and invitations and enable or disable ‘Add online meeting to all meetings’.
If you are using 3rd party online meeting providers like Zoom or Cisco WebEx, you will also see those as meeting provider options in this setting, provided you have their web add-in installed. Learn more every meeting online here.
4. Hide attendee list
You can now choose to hide the attendee list from being visible to users who receive the meeting invite. When creating a new meeting, select ‘Response options’ and click on ‘Hide attendee list’
5. Attendees can add rooms
In the new Outlook, attendees can add rooms by forwarding the meeting invite to the relevant rooms. The meeting room will then be visible to all attendees.
6. Edit events in a series
The new Outlook for Windows has the following options for editing a meeting series –
This event – this will only update the selected instance of the meeting series.
This and all following events – this will only make changes to the selected and following instances of the meeting series and the older meeting instances will not be changed. This option does not exist in classic Outlook for Windows.
All events in the series – this will update all events in the meeting series.
7. Duplicate a meeting
Right click on an event in the calendar surface and select ‘Duplicate event’ to it. You can also do this from the meeting form ribbon.
8. Add multiple Time Zones in calendar
Easily manage meetings across different time zones in new Outlook. New Outlook allows you to add up to 20 time zones in the calendar, whereas classic Outlook allows adding only 3 time zones.
9. Use executive’s categories in calendar
Right click on an event in the calendar view and click ‘Categorize’ to apply executive’s categories. We plan to allow executive admins to manage executive’s categories in future.
10. Receive shared calendar notifications
In the new Outlook, users can opt to receive notifications on changes to events in the shared calendar. This capability is extended to both the executive and executive assistant/delegate. You can select the calendars you want to opt in for notifications from Settings> Calendar > Shared Calendars> Calendar updates.
11. ‘Don’t send response’ RSVP tracked
In classic Outlook, if the user chooses ‘Do not send response’ while RSVPing, the organizer will not be able to track that individual RSVP.
However, in the new Outlook, if the user unchecks ‘Email organizer’ while RSVPing, even though there will not be a visible response email sent to the organizer, the organizer will still be able track that RSVP as long as the organizer and the RSVPing attendee are in the same M365 tenant (or organization).
We plan to support tracking across different tenants in future.
12. Preserve declined meetings on the calendar and RSVP’d meetings in inbox
Preserve declined meetings on the calendar so that you can still be aware of it and update RSVP later if needed. This can be enabled by selecting Settings > Calendar > Events and invitations and clicking the ‘Save declined events’ checkbox.
Meetings that have been RSVP’d to, can also be retained in the inbox so that you can easily find them later. This can be done from Settings> Calendar > Events and invitations > Invitations from other people and selecting the ‘Delete invitations from inbox after responding’.
These settings will have to be enabled on the executive’s for them to be respected in the delegate calendar and inbox folder respectively.
13. Decline but follow a meeting
The new ‘RSVP option allows you to decline a meeting but still have access to the meeting chat, meeting recording and meeting notes. This is a great way to stay informed about discussions that you or your executives are unable to join.
This feature is rolling out so some users may not see it yet.
Share feedback
We encourage you to try new Outlook and share your feedback. You can submit feedback on the new Outlook experience from Help > Feedback. Please mention – “I am an EA” Or “I am a delegate” when adding comments.
To stay updated with the latest features in new Outlook, follow the roadmap.
This guide will also be published as a support article that will be linked here once available.

Managed HSM support for Azure Database for MySQL – Flexible Server (General Availability)
We’re happy to announce general availability of Azure Key Vault Managed HSM support for customer managed keys (CMK) in Azure Database for MySQL – Flexible Server!
What is Managed HSM?
Azure Key Vault Managed HSM (Hardware Security Module) is a fully managed, highly available, single-tenant, standards-compliant cloud service that enables you to safeguard cryptographic keys for your cloud applications, using FIPS 140-2 Level 3 validated HSMs. It ensures your data is stored and processed only within the region that hosts the HSM, ensuring data residency. Each Managed HSM instance is dedicated to a single customer and consists of a cluster of HSM partitions. All cryptographic operations, such as encryption, decryption, and validation, are performed inside the HSM.
Benefits of Managed HSM support for Azure Database for MySQL – Flexible Server
The Managed HSM feature allows you to use your own HSM-backed encryption keys to protect your data at rest in MySQL – Flexible Server instances. You can generate HSM-backed keys and import the encryption keys from a physical on-premises HSM using CMK’s bring your own key (BYOK) feature while maintaining full control over the keys.
Configuring Managed HSM for Azure Database for MySQL – Flexible Server
You can easily configure an Azure Key Vault Managed HSM for new or existing Azure Database for MySQL flexible servers by using the Azure CLI or the Azure Portal, as shown in the following screenshot:
When configuring Managed HSM, note that you must:
Deploy the Managed HSM in the same region as the MySQL flexible server.
Enable soft delete and purge protection.
Assign the User-assigned Managed Identity (UMI) the “Managed HSM Crypto Service Encryption User” role in RBAC.
Learn more
For more details about this feature, please see the article Data encryption with customer managed keys – Azure Database for MySQL – Flexible Server.
If you have any queries or suggestions, please let us know by leaving a comment below or by contacting directly us at AskAzureDBforMySQL@service.microsoft.com.

Loss of default Route when turning on VPN
When I use my FortiClient VPN to connect remotely, Windows loses my local internet connection.
I have used an elevated Command Prompt to try and adjust the default route to remedy.
Any advice ?
Here is the process I am using:
Open a cmd window with administrator privileges. You need them to add/delete routes later on.
before you connect the vpn execute a “route print” in there and look for the Target “0.0.0.0” – this is your default route. Note down the ip in the column “gateway” there.
Connect the vpn and then execute “route print” in the cmd again. You should notice that the gateway (and interface) for the default route has changed. Als note down that gateway ip.
Then do a “route delete 0.0.0.0” (I think “route delete default” might do as well but not sure).
Then do a “route add 0.0.0.0 MASK 0.0.0.0 <gateway ip you noted down before connecting vpn>”
At this point you should regain internet connectivity again.
To still be able to reach to your company servers you might have to analogously add a static route to the company subnet with correct subnet mask and the gateway you noted after connecting the vpn.
You don’t need to enter interface or metric here.

Note down the ip in the column “gateway” there.Connect the vpn and then execute “route print” in the cmd again. You should notice that the gateway (and interface) for the default route has changed. Als note down that gateway ip.Then do a “route delete 0.0.0.0” (I think “route delete default” might do as well but not sure).Then do a “route add 0.0.0.0 MASK 0.0.0.0 <gateway ip you noted down before connecting vpn>”At this point you should regain internet connectivity again.To still be able to reach to your company servers you might have to analogously add a static route to the company subnet with correct subnet mask and the gateway you noted after connecting the vpn.You don’t need to enter interface or metric here.

Intune issues with email migration
Hello there,
Someone know if there are account issues in the devices when you migrate an email to a diferent tenant?
Currently there are 2 companies and the devices of both companies are in intune. We are about to migrate the emails from company 2 to company 1 but we don’t know what would happend to the devices of company 2 since their domain will change, their access will change. At the end they will have new accounts and the old domain will be @company.onmicrosoft.com.
They will be able to join their devices with their old email? or they will lose access?
Hoping someone can help me :).
Regards,
Oscar.

Mapping SharePoint list items using Azure Maps
I have a SharePoint list with office locations. Our client would like to show all of these locations on a map. Getting a Bing Maps key is no longer an option – this has been deprecated, so we will need to use Azure maps instead. We have a Azure Maps key, but are unsure of how to enable it in SharePoint. Every blog post we find only has instructions for Bing Maps. Any help is much appreciated!

Can one phrase Mail rules to be applied for newly arrived mails not in Inbox but in Spam folder?
My Email provider runs its own (unfortunately very bad) spam filter and continues to sort tons of legit emails as false positives into my Spam folder. These emails are then synchronized to my Outlook where I then always have to angle them out from Spam and move them back to my Inbox.
I would like to automatize this (or at least large parts of it) by creating an Outlook “Unspam” mail rule that moves emails from a list of known senders from Spam back to my Inbox but unfortunately – it seems – Outlook’s mail rules can only be applied to emails newly arrived in the Inbox but not in other folders.
Is there a way to apply such mail rules also automatically to emails in the Spam/Junk folder?
