Documents Associated with Document ID not opening
Looking for some feedback from the community. We moved a set of documents from a document library that has Document ID’s assigned to it to another document library that did not has a Document ID assigned. As a result when we moved back the set of document back to it’s original document library that has Document ID, the Document ID link that opens the documents is not working. It is giving error document not found. Apparently when moving the documents from and to a library both libraries should have Document ID enabled. Is there a way to fix this issue of document not opening in the original library for the documents moved back. thank you for you feedback.

AD Naming Conventions vs Intune/AutoPilot Conventions
In Active Directory we use a 20 or so character naming convention of all of our PC’s, basically it is the location, cart, and serial number, and this works well for us as we are a school district, and it allows us to locate the pc’s quickly. However, we are moving to Intune and eventually AutoPilot. Currently AutoPilot has a 15-character limitation. And to the best of my knowledge that cannot be changed or extended, correct? But here is my question, as we want to move to Autopilot for deploying our new machines, can a Group Tag or other automated device be used to allow me to use a longer name, or at least a way of filtering and finding a name more efficiently in Intune? And also, from a reporting standpoint to create reports of School 3’s computer inventory vs schools 2’s inventory?
As I don’t believe this is possible, we will continue to build pc’s using Kace or SCCM and then import them into Intune and manage them as a hybrid machine, rather than as a Joined machine. Our ultimate goal is to have them all be Joined, and eliminate AD, but we have not figured out a way of doing this yet.
Would switching from standard Intune to Intune for Education benefit us in any way for this situation?

Printing a cell to a small label
Dear all,
I have created an Excel document that creates a document library code using VBA based on user input.
e.g.
Company = A
Type of Document = B
Date of Execution = C
and so on.
Based on what the user enters, when they click the create code button, some VBA runs in the background and creates a document code e.g. US-ABC-E-123-1
The intent is for that document code that is created in cell B5 to be printed on to a 45x15mm label via our Zebra label printer. However I am struggling to find a way to get excel to print the contents of just that cell at the right size.
The current workaround is that clicking a print button on the worksheet which opens a template in word (which is 45×15), pastes in the code, and then the user prints it in the normal File-Print dialog.
Any ideas on how to solve this issue would be very very much appreciated!

Work mode and Commercial Data Protection
A new Work/Web slider control has appeared at the top of the copilot.microsoft.com for users who have Copilot for M365.
When Work mode is selected, the absence of the green “Protected” shield in the upper-right corner of the page raises concerns about the activation of Commercial Data Protection. This observation extends to the Copilot sidebar as well. It prompts the question: Is Commercial Data Protection still enforced while in Work mode?
Thanks,
Anne

Drill Through Capability in Excel Pivot Table lost
When calling the details function on a pivot table (source is an OLAP-cube on SSAS) I am no more able to drill through. I got this error message:
RETURN clause cannot be used with DRILLTHROUGH statement when a DetailRows expression is already defined on the measure..
There is a similar thread on the fabric community. However I do not query a Power BI cube but a SSAS cube (which is – from Excel as client – similar indeed). There is a DetailRows expression defined in the cube; it was working up to the Office 365 MSO Version 2402.
Anyone who encounter same issue and/or find a workaround without rolling back to a previous version?
Best regards
Emmanuel

Connector Compatibility Issues with Updated Microsoft Teams
Hi,
We have been successfully using our app connector for several years without issues. However, since upgrading to the latest version of Microsoft Teams, we have encountered significant functionality problems that were not present in the older version.
While the connector continues to work flawlessly on the older version of MS Teams, it fails to configure or remove connectors in the new MS Teams. Additionally, the webhook functionality is also non-operational.
We have noticed missing context values such as ‘teamName’ and ‘teamId’, which may be contributing to these issues. I have attached screenshots below for your review.
Old MS Teams context
New MS Teams context
Furthermore, we are experiencing problems with the microsoftTeams.settings.setSettings() function from the @microsoft/teams-js library, which does not seem to operate correctly in the new MS Teams environment. It is unclear whether this issue is related to the saveEvent.notifySuccess() function or if there are other underlying problems preventing the settings from being applied properly.
Many of our clients are expressing their frustration due to these disruptions. We are eager for your assistance and look forward to your swift response to help resolve these issues.

Exchange Online access via PIM
Hi,
We are looking to grant more granular access to the Exchange Online portal for our support teams instead of the Exchange Admin Entra role. The idea is to set up cloud security groups, onboard them to PIM and grant the users eligible assignments. The groups would be then assigned to the Exchange Online role groups (RBAC) in the Exchange Portal. It appears though that Exchange Portal requires mail-enabled security groups and mail-enabled security groups cannot be onboarded to PIM.
Does anyone know if this is by design?
What is the alternative solution to grant JIT access to the Exchange Portal instead of the Entra role or the standing access of the users assigned directly to the RBAC roles on the Exchange Portal? Many thanks.

Semantic Kernel: Local LLMs Unleashed on Raspberry Pi 5
Hi!
Welcome to the exciting world of local Large Language Models (LLMs) where we’re pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with AI.
Today let’s talk about a cool topic: run models locally, especially on devices like the Raspberry Pi 5. Let’s dive into the future of AI, right in our own backyards.
Ollama and using Open Source LLMs
OLLAMA stands out as a platform that simplifies the process of running open-source LLMs locally on your machine. It bundles model weights, configuration, and data into a single package, making it accessible for developers and AI enthusiasts alike. The key benefits of using Ollama include:
Simplicity: Easy setup process without the need for deep machine learning knowledge.
Cost-Effectiveness: Eliminates cloud costs, making it wallet-friendly.
Privacy: Ensures data processing happens on your local machine, enhancing user privacy.
Versatility: Suitable for various applications beyond Python, including web development.
Using Local LLMs like Phi-3 or Llama3
Local LLMs like Llama3 and Phi-3 represent a significant shift towards more efficient and compact AI models.
Phi-3, developed by Microsoft, uses advanced training techniques like quantization to maximize efficiency, making it ideal for deployment on a wide range of devices.
Llama3, with its Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture, offers specialized neural networks for different tasks, providing high-quality outputs with a smaller parameter count.
The use of local LLMs offers several advantages:
Reduced Latency: Local models eliminate network latency associated with cloud-based solutions.
Enhanced Privacy: Data remains on your local device, offering a secure environment for sensitive information.
Customization: Local models allow for greater flexibility to tweak and optimize the models as per your needs.
How to Set Up a Local Ollama Inference Server on a Raspberry Pi 5
I already wrote a couple of times, my own version of the 1st time setup for a Raspberry Pi (link). Once the device is ready, setting up Ollama on a Raspberry Pi 5 (or older) is a straightforward process. Here’s a quick guide to get you started:
Installation: Use the official Ollama installation script to install it on your Raspberry Pi OS.
The main command is:
curl -fsSL https://ollama.com/install.sh | sh
Running Models: After installation, you can run various LLMs like tinyllama, phi, and llava, depending on your RAM capacity .
In example to install and run llama 3, we can use the following command:
ollama run llama3
Once ollama is installed and a model is downloaded, the console should look similar to this one:
Tip: to check the real-time journal of the ollama service, we can run this command:
journalctl -u ollama -f
Important: by defaul ollama server is available only for local calls. In order to enable access from other machines, you need to follow these steps:
– Edit the systemd service by calling this command.
sudo systemctl edit ollama.service
– This will open an editor.
– Add a line Environment under section [Service]:
[Service]
Environment=”OLLAMA_HOST=0.0.0.0″
– Save and exit.
– Reload systemd and restart Ollama:

Not bad at all for a small device!
Conclusion
The advent of local LLMs like Ollama is revolutionizing the way we approach AI, offering unprecedented opportunities for innovation and privacy. Whether you’re a seasoned developer or just starting out, the potential of local AI is immense and waiting for you to explore.
Happy coding!

Populating an existing Excel spreadsheet with results from a MS Forms quiz/form
This one is a big ask and I’m almost certain that it isn’t possible but I need it to be.
I’ve created a quiz in MS Forms and I can obviously open the results up in an MS Excel spreadsheet when I’ve had responses. The problem is, I want to somehow link the answers from the quiz to an existing MS Excel spreadsheet. There must surely be a way even if it means linking each answer from each question to each specific cell.
This is the spreadsheet I want to be able to link it to…
Along the top are the 12 questions. I’d love it if the points acquired (either 1 or 0) would populate the corresponding boxes. This seems like it should be doable.
If there is any other software that could link up with excel in this way, I’m open for suggestions.
Thanks in advance.

Just setup OneDrive, works great, but is there duplicate files on my C drive?
I setup one drive to help backup and sync my folders across workstations. I understand the icons, cloud, green checkmark-white background, white checkmark-green background. I see that that Documents links on the left side of the windows explorer screen are the same as the OneDrive(see image). After I let OneDrive sync up (around 30GB) of data, I noticed my hard drive got fuller. So I did some searching and see there are two separate “Documents” folder locations. From the picture you can see the left side window is from this location: C:usersxxxxxDocumentsInventor. There are no OneDrive status symbols like there are on the right side window. Are these file locations different? If I delete the data in the left side window location, will it affect the data in the other Documents location? Is it the same data? From the image you can also see that all my data is in the OneDrive documents folder, so I don’t think it is the same data. I can’t find the actual location of the quick links document folder to verify. Thanks!
