Formula Required
Hi All,
I need a formula for the following see attached Sheet.
Brief
Starting at 50klm distance the base rate is $1.50
Every 50klm more I want the rate to increase $0.25
I have it set up so when you enter the Distance (KLM) (sourced via Google Search)
The Quantity needs to rounds up to the next whole number according to Distance(KLM) entered
The rate increase needs to corresponds with Quantity total.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

Formula for COUNTIFS combined with OR (I think)
Hello,
Please can someone help me with a formula for the following:
Column E is labelled “Priority” with drop down options of “High”, “Medium” or “Low” from a lookup table.
Column I is labelled “Status” with drop down options of “Complete”, “In Progress” or “Not Started” from a look up table.
I want to count in cell I2, how many priorities in column E are “high” AND column I has the status “In Progress” OR “Not Started” [i.e. a status that is not “Complete”].
I have created a COUNTIFS formula but cannot seem to apply a second criteria that excludes from the count any with the status “Complete”: =(COUNTIFS($E7:E13,”High”))
I can then adjust the same formula for “Medium” and “Low” priorities for cells I3 and I4 respectively.

Web Filtering / Monitoring for Android Devices
Hello all,
Does Intune offer a solution to filter and monitor web access on Android devices?
Basically block them from accessing naughty sites.
These are Corporate fully managed/KIOSK devices etc with MS edge loaded.
Don’t want to go down the white/allowed list route if possible as they used for multiple scenarios.
I am looking at the MS Defender app but unsure if It can do the job and how to set it up.
We have a solution for our Windows devices but isn’t compatible with Android.
Any help or suggestions welcome.

Store images in Kusto and visualize them with Power BI or Azure Data Explorer Dashboards
How to Visualize Images Stored in Kusto
Kusto is a fast and scalable database designed to ingest, store, and analyze large volumes of structured and semi-structured data. For non-structured data like images, Azure Storage is typically the best choice. Databases can reference image data on storage via a URL, meaning images are not directly stored in Kusto. However, there are scenarios where storing image data in Kusto is beneficial. However, there are scenarios where storing image data in Kusto is beneficial. In this blog post, we will explore when it makes sense to store images in Kusto, how to store them, and how to visualize this data using Azure Data Explorer dashboards or Power BI.
Although Kusto doesn’t support binary data types, there are still compelling reasons to store images in Azure Data Explorer. For dashboards and reports that require images, visualization tools might not support secure access to external storage. By leveraging identities and network segregation via managed private endpoints, storing all data in one location simplifies both access and security. However, it’s important to note that Kusto the best technology for storing large-scale images.
Kusto does not support binary data types, so images must be encoded in base64. This encoding converts the data into a non-human-readable string of 64 English characters. When storing an image in Kusto using base64, it is saved as a string.The default size limit for a string in Kusto is 1 MB (see Kusto Documentation for string datatype. By default, all columns in Kusto are indexed. For columns storing images, you should disable indexing and may need to increase the default size limit. Below is an example of creating an image table, disabling indexing, and increasing the string size limit to 2 MB using the the BigObject encoding type:
.create table image (file_name:string, img_original_base64 : string )
// This policy disables the index of the image column and overrides MaxValueSize property in the encoding Policy to 2 MB:
.alter column image.img_original_base64 policy encoding type=’BigObject’
The maximum size for a string in Kusto is 32 MB. For more details, refer to the documentation on the encoding policy.
You can use all available ingestion methods for the Kusto database, depending on the deployment (PaaS or SaaS). Ensure that the image data is converted to a binary string and encoded to base64, as described in the previous section. You can find a Python example in the Gist references at the end of this article.
Once you’ve ingested image data into a Kusto table, you might want to visualize it using Azure Data Explorer Dashboards. Markdown visuals are an effective way to display images. Typically, images are displayed from a storage location using the following markdown pattern:
For images stored in Kusto, the process is similar. Instead of linking to a storage location, you use the field containing the base64-encoded string of the image. Here’s how you can do it:
This method embeds the image directly into the dashboard using the base64-encoded string from your data. If you have multiple images to display you can make use of a function generating a markdown from a Kusto query. The function logic has been shared on stackoverflow by Daniel Dror:
let schema = t | getschema;
let headers = schema | project ColumnName | summarize make_list(ColumnName) | extend String = strcat(‘| ‘, strcat_array(list_ColumnName, ‘ | ‘), ‘ |’) | project String, Order=1;
let upper_divider = schema | project ColumnName, Sep = ‘—‘ | summarize Cols=make_list(Sep) | extend String = strcat(‘| ‘, strcat_array(Cols, ‘ | ‘), ‘ |’) | project String, Order=2;
let data = t | extend Cols=pack_array(*) | extend String = strcat(‘| ‘, strcat_array(Cols, ‘ | ‘), ‘ |’) | project String, Order=3;
headers
| union upper_divider
| union data
| order by Order asc
| summarize Rows=make_list(String)
| project array_strcat(Rows, ‘rn’)
}
With invoking this function, you can easily display a table of images in Azure Data Explorer dashboards. The following query is used in combination with a markdown visual:
| project file_name, img_original_base64
| extend ingestion_time=ingestion_time()
| summarize arg_max(ingestion_time, *) by file_name// remove duplicates
| extend image=strcat(“” )
| project file_name, image
| order by file_name desc
| invoke table_to_markdown()
This is an example how your data can be visualized using the markdown visualization:

Power BI allows the integration of images from a database, a process that is well-documented in a Guy in a Cube YouTube video, which is referenced at the end of this article. By default, Power BI supports image URLs, but what if you want to display images stored as strings? Given Power BI’s limitation of a 32k string size, a creative workaround is necessary. This involves splitting the strings and then reconstructing them using DAX logic, a technique thoroughly explained in the aforementioned Guy in a Cube video.
To handle large image strings that exceed Power BI’s capacity, a split string function in Kusto can be employed. This function divides the image string representation into multiple rows, which is essential for visualization tools that have string size restrictions. Here’s how the function looks
//this is needed for visualization tools with limitation on string sizes
.create-or-alter function with (folder = “Gold layer”, docstring=”split image string representation to several rows if PowerBI string size limitation is hit”, skipvalidation = “true”) image_report ()
{
let max_length=32766; //maximum PowerBI string length
image
| project file_name, img_original_base64
| extend ingestion_time=ingestion_time()
| summarize arg_max(ingestion_time, *) by file_name // remove duplicates
| extend parts = range(0, strlen(img_original_base64) – 1, max_length)
| mv-expand parts // rows needed for each substring (1 if length < max_length)
| extend img_original_base64_part = substring(img_original_base64, toint(parts), max_length), order=toint(parts)/max_length
| project file_name, img_original_base64_part, order
}
Following the split, DAX logic is used to concatenate the substrings back into the final image:
This approach ensures that even with Power BI’s string size limitations, images can be effectively displayed by leveraging Kusto’s split string function and DAX’s concatenation capabilities.
The integration of images into Kusto and their visualization through Power BI or Azure Data Explorer Dashboards offers a unique approach to managing and displaying non-structured data. While Kusto is primarily designed for structured and semi-structured data, it can accommodate images through base64 encoding, albeit with some limitations due to the absence of binary data types. This method is particularly useful for dashboards and reports that require secure access to images without relying on external storage solutions.
The process involves encoding images into a base64 string, ingesting them into Kusto, and then utilizing visualization tools like Power BI to display the images. This approach ensures that all data, including images, can be securely accessed and managed in one centralized location, simplifying both access and security protocols.
However, it’s crucial to recognize that Kusto is not optimized for storing large-scale images, and this method should be reserved for scenarios where the benefits outweigh the limitations. By following the guidelines and techniques outlined in this blog post, users can effectively store and visualize images within Kusto, enhancing their data analysis and reporting capabilities in a secure and efficient manner.

Global Microsoft Teams IP localisation issue
Hello,
We are a Belgian ITSP. When our customer use Microsoft Teams their IP gets located in HongKong instead of Belgium, so their account gets blocked. As far as we understand Microsoft is using Maxmind to geolocalise users.
This is the contecnt of Maxmind database:
P Address Location Network Postal Code Approximate Latitude / Longitude*, and Accuracy Radius ISP / Organization Domain Connection Type
93.92.17.167Rumst, Flanders, Belgium (BE), Europe93.92.17.0/24284051.0786, 4.415 (20 km)Localitel bvba-Cable/DSL
Still users get located in HongKong in this example subnet. Or explain how Microsoft Teams works for localisting IP adresses of Teams users.
Plz advice who we need to contact at Microsoft to get this solved. It is clearly an issue on your end and because of this our internet customer cannot use Teams in Belgium.
Thanks.

Trouble sorting numbered folders
Hello all, hoping someone can solve my (very) minor problem.
I have a list of folders I need to sort numerically. The numbers are 2.1.0 – 2.2.13 and cannot be changed at all (so no 2.1.01 as it’s referred to as 2.1.1 in numerous other documents).
I can’t use a number column as only numerals are allowed. I can’t use a text column as it puts eg 2.1.3 after 2.1.13.
What is a fairly straightforward solution to this? We use Sharepoint Online pretty much how it comes. Most of the users are not especially tech savvy; the solution can’t involve coding. I know there’s a symbol section when you edit a number column, but you can only put them at as the first or last digit, not in the middle.
Any help much appreciated

Microsoft Partner: Employment Verification Rejection
I have been subscribing to the Microsoft Action Pack for almost a quarter of a century. I recently renewed the Action Pack: the payment went through, and the Action Pack is marked as active.
The primary reason I need the Action Pack is for the “Visual Studio Professional Subscription.” To use it, I need to assign it to a user – this is where my ordeal began.
When trying to assign a user, I receive a vague error message indicating that something went wrong. As a result, I cannot use the most important product for me from the Action Pack.
Now, under “Account settings” in the “Legal info” section, I see that the “Verification status” is rejected – both under “Partner” and “Reseller.”
I have submitted all possible documents, but this has not resolved the issue. I have opened three support tickets so far, but I’ve received no assistance beyond automated responses. Emails to support with the ticket numbers are acknowledged but remain unanswered.
As of today, I can no longer upload documents. When I click “Fix now,” I’m caught in an endless loop: the status briefly shows “Verified” only to revert back to “Rejected.”
What else can I do to restore my partner status and make the Action Pack usable again? Who compensates me for the loss of income? I certainly didn’t pay for a non-functional Action Pack.
Sorry! I’m totally frustrated!
Thanks and regards,
René

Problem with Automatic replies
Hi all,
I have an online exchange service for the whole office here and we are using a software for sending mails to customers ( specialized software in transport). we use 4 mail accounts in that software and I have a connector in 365 exchange added to accept mails from our server’s IP adress and also added the IP into the SPF record.
Problem is when I check message trace in Exchage I see that messages with “automtic reply” in the subject having a “failed” status.
– I already checked the automatic replay is active in exchange.
has anyone idea why does that happen?
thank you in advance

Slack slackbot messages using interactivity for Microsoft Sentinel incident actions
Hi,
I am just wondering if anyone has managed to integrate Microsoft Sentinel Incidents with Slack to send slackbot messages using ‘interactivity’. Similar to the Sentinel/MS Teams Adaptive Card feature where you get an adaptive card in teams and you can hit buttons with actions such as ‘Change Severity’, ‘Change Status’, ‘Assign Owner’ etc etc. I am wondering if anyone has managed to achieve this same functionality with Slack. The closest I have found is this GitHub repo which uses a Webhook:
I have tried this but to no avail.

What to do with Syslog Forwarder data connectors that are still built on the OMS Agent?
Hello,
I’m currently working on deploying the VMware vCenter data connector to a Sentinel workspace.
The issue is that, according to the documentation, the data connector will make use of a Syslog Forwarder that is still built upon the OMS agent instead of the AMA agent.
An AMA version has now been created for most other firewall data connectors to deprecate the legacy connectors.
As far as I can tell, the data connector documentation makes no note of this data connector being deprecated or legacy.
My question is then:
Should I be concerned about deploying a syslog forwarder with the OMS agent?And if so, what alternatives do I have?
I’ve previously built a custom solution for ingesting Cisco Meraki logs via an AMA agent, since the out of the box solution with the OMS agent wasn’t working optimally. But ideally, I would like to not have to build a custom solution.

“User Rights” Policy not working properly
During our process of migrating GPOs to Intune Policy i noticed some odd Behaviour of Intune.
We want to set specific User Rights (in GPO it was called User Right Assingments) for specific Groups, Users and BulitIn-Groups. We are setting this policy through the Windows 10 (and later) Security Baseline.
When Using SIDs for BuiltIn-Groups like *S-1-5-32-544 it seems to work perfectly. But there are several other things that are not Working.
I’m not able to set any kind of own Group to this Policy, neither OnPrem-AD-Groups nor Entra-ID-Groups. I tried with DOMAINGroup-Name with Classical SID and with Object-GUID. The Group just won’t appear on the Client and the event Log is throwing an Error 821 “Security Identifier is invalid”
I’m not able to set a specific User Right to NULL so no User has the Right. If i leavte the field empty and save the Policy it automatically switches to Not Configured and is doing nothing. NULL, 0 or Security Identifier S-1-0-0 are not working either.
When i checked if the Policy is properly applied through GPEDIT.msc i noticed, that the policies are not locked down like when setting the Policy via GPO. So a User with Administrative Rights can easily change the Assingments until the next Intune Policy Sync (which is not too often)
Wondering if somebody was able to set the User Rights proberly (also Using own Groups not Just Well-Known-SIDs) or if somebody else is facing the same issues.
