Teams needs a Copilot button on team channel level
Currently Teams Copilot is available on:
1. Left panel level
2. Chat header level
3. Individual chat level
4. Team channel within single conversation level
On Web Copilot and Left panel level Copilot, I am not able to target a specific team channel in prompt. It always answers “I’m sorry, but it seems there is no specific information available regarding the XXX team General channel about XXX”.
Within the team channel, Copilot is available only on single conversation level. An I can still get “This conversation doesn’t have enough activity to generate a response.” for a conversation with 14 replies. And I can’t prompt for things happen within the channel.

iCloud sync solution for 32-bit Outlook (incorrect password, default profile error, iCloud repair)
As of version 15.x.x, iCloud for Outlook appears to be permanently broken when synchronizing contacts and calendars. The previous steps posted in “iCloud for Outlook Incorrect Username or Password” no longer work. As per a comment by @MarMD in that thread, 64-bit office is the solution.
Some people are able to fix the issue simply by upgrading to 64-bit office.
If that doesn’t work on the first try, the solutions below include additional steps to make it happen.
(We had one PC just work, one required a few additional tweaks in Solution A, another required the full battery of steps in Solution B).
Please note that both lists below are solutions, /not/ recommendations — please decide for yourself.
– Mike
——————————————————————————————————-
SOLUTION A: 64-BIT OFFICE — WITH A FEW INSTALLATION TWEAKS
This usually works, and ran fine the first time on one of our PC’s.
1. Back up your current contacts and calendars from Outlook and from iCloud in Outlook to .pst files
2. Remove all 32-bit Office installations, including msAccess runtimes
(msOffice installers insist upon 32-bits if there are any 32-bit Office components installed)
3. Reboot
4. Install 64-bit Office including Outlook
To force this, you may need to specify a config.xml file
See the attached .xml and .bat files show examples on how to specify the bits for the
installation, as well as how to exclude specific Office applications like Lync and Groove.
Note: these are examples to play with, not a full tutorial
5. Reboot.
6. Install iCloud, but do NOT enable any features yet
This includes Outlook/Calendar/Contacts integration in the final step of the installation wizard.
7. Open iCloud.
8. Turn on Calendars and Contacts
9. Follow the steps in the wizard
10. If there’s no error, go to step 12.
11. If there’s an error, including any of the following, go to SOLUTION B.
– Setup can’t continue because outlook isn’t configured to have a default profile
– Incorrect username or password
– iCloud outlook repair required
12. If you open Outlook at the iCloud ribbon section shows on these ribbons, click Refresh
– Home ribbon
– iCloud ribbon
13. If refresh works, celebrate, you’re done!
14. If the iCloud ribbon sections don’t show, continue.
15. Go to File -> Options -> Add-ins -> Manage: COM Add-ins -> Go…
16. If iCloud Outlook Add-in is available, but un-checked, check it.
17. If the iCloud Oudlook Add-in does not show, click Add… and pick it from:
%ProgramData%Apple InciCloudOutlookaplzod6432.dll (generic path, should work)
C:ProgramDataApple InciCloudOutlookaplzod6432.dll (typical path, might work)
18. Enable the iCloud Outlook Add-in
19. Re-start Outlook
20. If all works, now enable iCloud Photos, Drive, and other features
(waited until now for other features just in case we had to sign out of iCloud while
debugging, which removes all iCloud content and settings from the computer)
——————————————————————————————————-
SOLUTION B: 64-BIT OFFICE — WITH ADDITIONAL FOLDER PERMISSIONS
This was required on a PC that just didn’t want to cooperate.
It’s not pretty, and requires admin privileges, some freeware, and some tech experitise. But it worked.
1. Go through steps 1-10 in Solution A
2. Install Nirsoft’s Advanced Run utility and 7-zip multi-archive software, both non-adware freeware
3. Run Advanced Run
4. Choose 7-zip’s file manager: 7zFM.exe for Program to Run
5. Run as… TrustedInstaller
6. Navigate to the iCloud master folder in %programFiles%WindowsApps
As of the date of this post, with iCloud 15.0.215.0:
C:Program FilesWindowsApps
AppleInc.iCloud_15.0.215.0_x64__nzyj5cx40ttqa
7. Right-click on the iCloud folder and choose properties -> security -> advanced
8. Add localPCAdministrators to permissions, full control, for this folder, subfolder, and files
9. Add the current user to permissions, full control, for this folder, subfolder, and files
Note: step 9 is required even if the current user is an admin. No idea why.
10. Apply
11. Close iCloud and reopen
12. Turn on Calendars and Contacts
13. Follow the steps in the wizard
14. This should now work, in which case go to step 12 in SOLUTION A above
If not…
15. Close iCloud
16. In the iCloud application subfolder, manually run iCloudOutlook64.msi
As of the date of this post, with iCloud 15.0.215.0:
C:Program FilesWindowsApps
AppleInc.iCloud_15.0.215.0_x64__nzyj5cx40ttqa
iCloudiCloudOutlook64.msi
17. Run iCloud again
18. Turn on Calendars and Contacts
19. Follow the steps in the wizard
20. This should now work, in which case go to step 12 in SOLUTION A above
If not… I really have no idea
GOOD LUCK!

Announcing public preview for Geo-replication for Azure Event Hubs Dedicated
Azure Event Hubs is a fully managed, cloud-native, real-time data streaming service that enables you to stream millions of events per second from any source to build dynamic data pipelines and immediately respond to business challenges. It sits at the center of all the operational and analytical workflows for Azure’s customers – whether they are large enterprises or scrappy startups, enabling them to leverage their streaming data to enable new workflows, all in real time.
Data availability and service reliability are core tenets of a cloud-native service and today we are excited to announce the public preview of geo-replication for Azure Event Hubs to complete our story. Geo-replication builds on and fortifies our data availability and geo-disaster recovery story, by allowing you to replicate your Event Hubs data payloads across different Azure regions.
With geo-replication, client applications still talk to the primary copy of the namespace, but customers can specify a secondary region, replication consistency (synchronous or asynchronous) and replication lag for the data, and the service takes care of replicating the data between primary and secondary regions. When customers need to change the primary (for planned maintenance or forced failover), they can promote the secondary copy to be the primary and all client requests are then serviced by the new primary, without changing any configuration (connection strings, authentication, etc.) on the client application. The previous primary then becomes demoted to a secondary region, ensuring that both primary and secondary copies are in sync.
Geo-replication is designed to provide you with the following benefits:
High availability: You can ensure that your data is always accessible and durable, even in the event of a regional outage or disruption. You can also reduce the impact of planned maintenance events by switching to the secondary region before the primary region undergoes any updates or changes.
Disaster recovery: You can recover your data quickly and seamlessly in case of a disaster that affects your primary region. You can initiate a failover to the secondary region and resume your data streaming operations with minimal downtime and data loss.
Regional compliance: You can meet the regulatory and compliance requirements of your industry or region by replicating your data to a secondary region that complies with the same or similar standards as your primary region. You can also leverage the geo-redundancy of your data to support your business continuity and resilience plans.
Pricing
The Dedicated tier for Event Hubs is priced per Capacity Unit. With the Geo-Replication feature, customers must provision a dedicated cluster in secondary region, and the pricing is calculated over the total number of CUs provisioned. Additionally, there is a charge for the data transfer between the primary and secondary regions. During the early public preview, this data transfer charge is waived.
Which regions support Azure Event Hubs Geo-replication?
We’re rolling out the geo-replication feature across our entire fleet, but at launch you can get started by creating Event Hubs dedicated clusters in the below regions:
US
Central US EUAP
Europe
Italy North
Spain Central
Norway East
How to get started with Azure Event Hubs Geo-replication?
If you are interested in trying out Azure Event Hubs Geo-replication, please check out the official documentation – Azure Event Hubs Geo-replication documentation.
We hope that you find Azure Event Hubs Geo-replication useful and valuable for your data streaming scenarios. We look forward to hearing your feedback and suggestions on how to improve this feature and make it more suitable for your needs.

Project for the Web in Teams
Hi everyone,
We are currently using Project for the Web in Teams and usually we attach some files on tasks. Our problem is that we were told that our file storage capacity within the Microsoft Dataverse is 12.95GB out of 26GB.
My questions are:
1. Does the 26GB file storage capacity for one project created in Project for the Web, or for all the projects?
2. What files does the file storage capacity constitute?

Excel, how to add a coloured cell as only “1” and ignore the cell value, w/ multiple colours?
Hey, ive got a attendance report with up to 10 weeks per person. Right now i have 2 sepertae formulas, 1 which uses cell value to determine colour (so 1=red (absent), 2=green (present) etc.) And another formula that uses the “total weeks present” (‘4/10) to determine a percentage (=40%). Is there any way i can get the “total weeks present” to increase by 1 (from’4/10 to ‘5/10) when i fill in the cell with present (2) and not increase the “total weeks present” by 2 (almost ignoring the cell value, but detecting the cell is full or something like that)?
Also is there any way to make it so 2 different numbers add up as well, so that 1=absent(doesnt add up) 2=present(adds up) and 3=late(adds up)?

Ranking 3 columns
Hi all, I have a tracker that I’m trying to create a ranking for.
So far I’ve been using:
=RANK.EQ($S3,$S$3:$S$15)+COUNTIFS($S$3:$S$15,$S3,$T$3:$T$15,”>”&$T3)
Which ranks Total AOV against Orders, if I’m correct.
What I want to do is also rank orders per hour, but I’m struggling to see how to add that in.

T-SQL Bit Field in View
Hi,
I’m not sure if this is the proper place for a T-SQL question. If not, I’d appreciate a pointer to the correct forum.
I have a view, and I would like a field that shows whether or not a specific value is null.
If I use this
“IsNull” = CASE WHEN MyValue IS NULL THEN 1 ELSE 0 END
it ends up with exactly what I would want. It’s a non-nullable field, except it’s an integer.
Now, if I wrap that entire CASE in either a CAST or CONVERT to BIT, the resulting bit field is nullable.
How do I tell SQL Server that the field is not nullable?
Thanks in advance for any help,
Chris

Script to copy selected filtered Excel pivot table columns to another excel tab?
Hello,
I have been filtering different views of my base Pivot table (based on the 4 different Age categories present in my dataset) and copying selected columns over to a new Excel tab to show the result in a small table for that age group. I do this workflow for each of the Age categories, so the new Excel tab ultimately has 4 tables (one for each Age category). This is a highly manual process prone to error.
Once I’ve refreshed my pivot table with the next Age category filter, is there a script that would then select the 3 columns I’m interested in and copy them over into consecutive column (so as to form a table)? THEN – I want to go back to the Pivot table, (manually) refresh the results for the next Age Category, use the script to select the same 3 columns and copy it over to the Excel tab that has the previous table(s) I’ve already copied over, and create the new table next to the previously-created table (with one blank column in-between). Here’s a screenshot of what the output results would look like:
So, once the Pivot table has been manually refreshed to show the Age Category I want, my thought is to execute the script to select the same 3 columns and copy it over to the Excel tab in adjacent tables as shown above. Can this be done to take some of the manual parts of the process and put them in a script as described? Thank you!

Copilot for Security TI Embedded Experience in Defender XDR is now GA
The Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence (MDTI) and Defender XDR teams are pleased to announce that the Copilot for Security threat intelligence embedded experience in the Defender XDR portal is now generally available. As of today, Defender XDR customers will see a handy AI-powered sidecar in the Threat Analytics, intel profiles, intel explorer, and intel projects tabs in the threat intelligence blade (in brackets below), which returns, contextualizes, and summarizes intelligence from across MDTI and Threat Analytics about threat actors, threat tooling, and indicators of compromise (IoCs) related to their vulnerabilities and security incidents.
How Copilot Enhances Microsoft Threat Intelligence
Microsoft Copilot for Security enables customers to access, operate on, and integrate Microsoft’s raw and finished threat intelligence via natural language with simple requests known as prompts, which ask important questions about MDTI’s data and content, such as “Tell me more about the threat actor Silk Typhoon.” The answers returned from prompts are always up to date with the latest threat intelligence information, including IoCs, data from mass collection and analysis, intelligence articles, intel profiles (vulnerabilities, threat actors, threat tooling, techniques), and guidance. This critical information delivered instantly and in-context, up-levels and enables different security personas to defend at machine speed and scale.
Key Capabilities of the Threat Intelligence Embedded Experience
Think of the Copilot threat intelligence embedded experience in Defender XDR as a helpful research assistant that can pull, contextualize, and summarize relevant intelligence at machine speed to drive an optimal security plan for your organization. Customers can evaluate artifacts and correlate MDTI and Threat Analytics content and data with other security information from Defender XDR, such as incidents and hunting activities, to help them assess their vulnerabilities and quickly understand the broader scope of an attack. With helpful pre-populated prompts or through typing your own, the Copilot sidecar helps you quickly understand threats and assess vulnerabilities faster and more efficiently than before in several exciting ways:
Summarize threat intelligence: By clicking on the pre-populated prompt ‘Give me an overview of the latest threats to my organization,’ Copilot returns the latest Intel Profiles and Activity Snapshots that contain mentions of your vulnerabilities, TTPs (tactics, techniques, and procedures) that include the infrastructure your organization runs, and other relevant factors such as intelligence that mentions your industry and region:
Customers can also ask Copilot to summarize other relevant intelligence via open prompts, such as “Tell me about the threat actor Mango Sandstorm” or “Summarize the latest threat activity involving Cobalt Strike.”
Prioritize threats: By clicking the pre-populated prompt “Which threats should I focus on based on their exposure score,” Copilot queries Threat Analytics and MDTI to deliver the intelligence most relevant to an organization based on the exposures and vulnerabilities they have across their attack surface. Customers can also quickly retrieve information on indicators, including IP addresses and domains, to enrich artifacts with content such as threat articles and intel profiles to understand the risk they pose to their organization’s unique attack surface.
Understand your risk: Copilot can reason over vulnerability intelligence in MDTI and Threat Analytics to deliver a customized, prioritized list based on a customer organization’s unique security posture. By clicking on the pre-populated prompt “Which threat actors are targeting infrastructure in my industry?” Copilot returns summaries of the top threat actors implicated in attacks involving your industry. This information provides an excellent starting point for threat research and building out a robust defense strategy.
New to MDTI? Here’s where to start
Learn more about getting started with MDTI here, and read everything you need to know about MDTI as a Copilot for Security customer here. Also, be sure to join our fast-growing community of security pros and experts to provide product feedback and suggestions and start conversations about how MDTI is helping your team stay on top of threats.

Get more device control flexibility with BitLocker settings in Defender for Endpoint
With hybrid work here to stay and data-centric cyberattacks on the rise, safeguarding sensitive information is critical to every security strategy. While data loss prevention (DLP) is often considered for cloud storage locations, the management of removable storage devices such as USBs is equally important, to help ensure that data-at-rest is encrypted and integrity and confidentiality of sensitive information is maintained.
We’re excited to announce that Defender for Endpoint device control support for BitLocker is now in public preview. This new feature provides security admins with more granular control through policy exceptions for BitLocker encrypted devices.
Comprehensive management of removable storage devices
BitLocker encryption has long been recognized for its ability to protect data on devices by encrypting the entire drive, ensuring that data remains inaccessible to unauthorized users. With the integration of BitLocker device control, organizations can now seamlessly integrate their Defender for Endpoint policies with BitLocker’s best-in-class encryption for a comprehensive method to manage access to removable storage based on the BitLocker encryption state.
This flexibility allows administrators to require BitLocker encryption, and then manage exceptions for other trusted devices and users.
Figure 1 shows device control with a new descriptor Id called DeviceEncryptionStateId that includes or excludes devices in rules by encryption state (BitlockerEncrypted or Plain). This descriptorId can be added to groups that are managed via Intune (OMA-URI) or Group Policy
Setting up device control
Setting up device control with an approved list can be configured with 3 rules:
Allow unencrypted removable media devices read only access – which applies to all removable media devices except BitLocker encrypted and unencrypted devices that are specifically added
Allow unencrypted removable media devices with an exception full access – which applies to all allowed BitLocker unencrypted devices
Allow BitLocker encrypted removable media full device access – which applies to all the BitLocker encrypted devices
The policy can be tested by using three-different removable media devices:
Green USB (BitLocker encrypted)

SPO Customize a List’s Form to add a Logo and Column order through JSON
Hello All,
I’m trying to customize a form on a SharePoint list with JSON. I’m able to add sections and organize some of the columns but I have two issues.
One I’m trying to add a logo to the form but all I’m getting is a broken image on the form. More details are below. How do you add a logo to a SharePoint List’s form?
Below is the JSON code that I tried to get a logo on the list’s form. Some background information, I’ve uploaded a logo to the “site assets” library on the same sites.
The file in the format of “.png”. The following lines of code only show a broken image on the form.
Second, some columns are not showing in the order that I’ve set them in the JSON code. Is there a way to set the order of the columns in the form through JSON? See below for more detail. Also, the column “Type of Purchase” is showing at the bottom of the form section even though I’ve coded to top of the section.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Audit Limited Access Users
The permissions page for my SharePoint Site say:
“There are limited access users on this site. Users may have limited access if an item or document under the site has been shared with them. Show users.
This library has unique permissions.”
When I click on “Show users”, it shows several AD Security Groups with “Limited Access”.
Clicking on any of those groups gives me a useless summary with the Name and Account GUID.
How can I find what file/folders this Limited Access AD Security Group has access to?

Microsoft Teams Tabs App Cannot Be Found
Hi- I’m using the teams toolkit to develop a personal tab. All I am doing is have the manifest point towards an existing web app I have hosted already.

How can I get this app to show up when debugging locally? I’ve made sure my manifest also points towards the registered app. I’m not sure how to get it to show up locally now. Is there a separate local vs. production app id? Read More
