How to give “Site Members” visibility on all projects in Project Online
I believe I have the project permissions understood well. The last hurdle I can’t seem to figure out is the SharePoint permissions. When assigning the roles in project I have made the below permission groups each with the Prefix of “PUBMID –“ and their role along with a description of what each role gives. These have worked as expected giving the appropriate permissions depending on which role they were assigned.
The issue I am having with the SharePoint permissions is that when the users are not set as a “Site owner” they lose visibility on all projects. I have tried setting the permission level to “Site member” and this results in a loss of visibility on the projects. I believe if we can figure out this last piece, we will have the permissions to Project Online figured out.

Folder Labels in Inbox
The old outlook would keep the folder label on email chain if someone replied to it and the new email was in your inbox. The new outlook only shows you the folder label when you search for an email. Is there away to get Outlook to show the folder label for emails that have been replied to? For example, someone emails be to pay an invoice. I pay the invoice, reply back that it is paid, and then move the email to my “Paid” folder. That person then replies to the email saying thank you. The new email is in my inbox but there is no folder label on it any more to show that the email chain had been filed already in the “Paid” folder. I have to look through the email chain, see that it has been paid, and then move it again to the “Paid” folder.
When I search for an email, the folder label is there. I want the label to stay with an email chain even when there is a new email added and it is pulled into my inbox so I don’t have to figure out again which folder that email chain should be filed in.

Cannot open database requested by the login – “Error Number:4060,State:1,Class:11”
I have an ASP.NET app, and when I launch the app and try to list items from a table by accessing the corresponding route, I get this error:
SqlException: Cannot open database “appointments” requested by the login. The login failed. Login failed for user ‘DESKTOP-KRBN07Gjuan_’.
The database exists, and so do all the tables. I can connect to the database from SSMS and the ‘Server Explorer’ view in Visual Studio. I am using the connection string provided by the Server Explorer in Visual Studio. I also did a clean installation of Windows, Visual Studio, SQL Server, and SSMS. Currently, I have only one DB server and one database.
The error:

Teams Phone – Voicemail Issue
So, I’ve been trying to troubleshoot an issue for a new Teams Phone deployment – where Teams phone ties into an on-prem exchange server via an MS365 Connector (which delivers the voicemails to their Email Security gateway, and then to the on-prem Exchange Server).
The issue was that transcripts for calls (and voicemails in general) weren’t showing up in the Voicemail tab for call history and voicemail notifications weren’t being received on their Yealink phones.
After diving into it I found that the content type of the Voicemail messages, at least on the Security Gateway side, was CA-Voice, and there had been some chatter online of the required Content-Type being something else.
I then tested with my work Teams account – since I noticed that I wasn’t actually seeing voicemail transcripts since August 1st, and it looks like the same issue is occuring. Office and Teams are up to date and the issue occurs on both Desktop and web-based Office.
I’m thinking that this is just a case of Microsoft breaking something in an update but if anyone has any further insight, I’d appreciate that.

Export .mpp to .xml, modify and re-import
I have a web app that imports a ms project .xml. Users of the web app can then change the following properties: Notes, Physical Percent Complete and Finish Date. The project .xml can then be exported with only the mentioned altered. When the updated xml is imported back into ms Project the 3 properties: Percentage Complete, Notes and Finish Date update fine, however the duration remains the same and thus the start date alters to accommodate. How can I lock the start date during the import and force the duration to dynamically change? Because I am altering only the Finish Date and nothing else time related, I was surprised that the import didn’t error in the first place (since there would be conflicts in my xml). I need to learn how importing an xml works, what are the limits.. how to change certain properties whilst maintaining others and letting ms Project do it magic where necessary.

Please help- deleting rows containing a specific value from a large set of data
Hi, I’m doing a project for a class at my university and need to clean up some data. For this data, any missing data is put in as “-9999”. I need to delete all rows that contain -9999, but can’t figure out how to do it. It’s an insane amount of data, there’s over 100,000 rows and the columns go up to HE, so it’s not reasonable to do manually. Is there a function that can help me do this?

What is the secret to accelerating adoption and unlocking ROI from Copilot for Microsoft 365?
In today’s fast-paced digital world, the sheer volume of emails and messages can overwhelm even the most organized professional – the typical Microsoft 365 power user receives, on average, upwards of 250 emails daily and juggles 150 chats daily. Many of us are no strangers to the overwhelm that comes with the digital hustle. But imagine if you alone didn’t have to bear the weight of these increasing workloads.
AI has proven to be a game-changer in productivity, augmenting human capability and accelerating everyone’s innate ingenuity. It doesn’t just make it easier to check off items on our to-do lists – it unlocks our creative potential, helping us overcome the drudgery of work to rediscover the joy in work. But like any new tool, it takes practice to master.
Copilot for Microsoft 365 is your AI assistant for work that supercharges productivity and creativity, re-engineers business processes, empowering you to securely transform into an AI-powered organization. Integrated into the apps millions use every day, it combines the power of the most advanced LLM’s with your data in the Microsoft Graph—your documents, presentations, email, files, meetings, chats, and more, plus the web to deliver accurate, relevant, and contextual responses all with natural language. Copilot also inherits your existing Microsoft 365 security, privacy, identity, and compliance policies—so you know it’s enterprise-grade.
Copilot has the potential to redefine the boundaries of what an organization can get done. Yet there is an art and science to successful adoption across an organization. To reap the benefits, you must first understand the process of integrating generative AI capabilities into your business operations and investing in the strategies, skills, and techniques needed to unlock the full value of Copilot.
Embracing the Era of AI: The Generative AI Revolution
Generative AI is a type of artificial intelligence that is trained on enormous amounts of data, enabling it to generate novel content, such as text, images, music, and code, in response to natural language requests.
Businesses can use generative AI to improve almost any process where people use or create information. This technology has the potential to transform business with the goal of automating routine tasks, spurring creativity, and empowering people to focus on high-value work. Scaling the personalization of customer interactions helps employees drive satisfaction and loyalty. It also reveals patterns in vast amounts of data to inform better decision-making.
Businesses and professionals around the world are embracing and leveraging GenAI-powered solutions at an exponential speed. For reference – ChatGPT reached a 100 million user base in just 3 months, an unprecedented milestone in the pace of adoption for any technological revolution.

Microsoft Safety scanner looping
Hey Microsoft !
Your Safety scanner recursively scans directories without testing them if they are symbolic links in jar files! It is stuck in a loop ! Should not be. As this, it is unusable. Please fix it ! ( and no, my laptop doesn’t have 18 million files )
The looping problem seems to be related to jar files inspection. For instance, Webstormpluginsvcs-gitlibvcs-git.jar makes a loop in safety scanner
