A Solution for ML Pipeline in Multi-tenancy Manner
Very often, Solution Providers have enterprise scenarios for deploying ML pipelines, where involves multiple tenants and each tenant may have their own Azure subscription.
There are some situations when designing the enterprise solution, for example:
Each tenant may want to keep their own data non-shared.
Each tenant has their own computing and hosting environment for ML training, retraining, and inferencing.
Each tenant may have different needs for retraining, with different scheduling, using different data sets.
Even for the same ML algorithm, each tenant may use different parameters.
The wants to maintain a centralized repository for all tenants’ data, models, environments, components, etc.
In addition, the wants flexibility to manage all tenants, when and how they want the tenants to share data, models, environments, pipeline environments. Each tenant has their flexibility to share those with other tenants as well.
We provide this multi-tenancy solution for Solution Providers to deploy and manage the ML pipelines across multiple workspaces, where each workspace may belong to a different Azure subscription.
The key element here is Azure Machine Learning (AzureML). It acts as a middleman for tenants to share data/models/environments/components, with version control. When creating an AzureML registry, it is essential to make it available for multiple regions where the tenants reside in. The tenants outside of the Primary and Additional regions covered by the registry are not able to share data/models/environments/components with the registry. Besides that, the registry needs to add the workspaces as user; in workspaces, need to assign certain role (i.e. contributor) to the ML registry owner at subscription level and workspace level.
The solution works in this way: Each tenant has their own workspace using their own subscription; within the workspace, the tenant is self-sufficient for computing and storage resources, it can build ML pipeline using its own data/models/environments/components. If the tenant wants to share data/models/environments/components with another tenant, it shares to the registry first, which we call ‘share’ in the picture below; then through the registry to share with other tenants, which we call ‘push’ in the picture below. Tenants can also get data/models/environments/components from registry, which we call ‘pull’ as shown in the picture below.
Share – from tenant (workspace) sends to registry.
Push – from registry sends to tenant (workspace).
Pull – tenant (workspace) gets from registry.
This kind of solution design can satisfy multiple scenarios of model sharing:
Each tenant can have their specific models without sharing with others.
All tenants can share their models if they want.
All tenants can pull the shared models and retrain or fine-tune, then share back the retrained or fine-tuned models.
Similar scenarios apply to data, environments, and components.
Notes:
If a tenant has multiple subscriptions, then the sharing is done at subscription level then workspace level.
This solution doesn’t apply if the sharing has to be done above subscription level. That means, if the ML registry can’t access the tenant’s subscription directly, then the ML registry can’t share/push entities to that tenant.
Below is an example for model sharing in four workspaces, where three of them belong to one subscription and the other one belongs to a different subscription.
In this example, workspace1 shares its model credit-card-default to registry, then the registry pushes to workspace3; workspace3 shares its model bert-case-uncased_fine-tuned to registry, then the registry pushes to workspace1, workspace2 and workspace4. The registry has both models.
For data, models, environments, components, the way of share/push/pull between tenant and registry are a little different. For ‘share/push’, it can be done in AzureML UI and SDK; for ‘pull’, it can be done in SDK.
Below is one example for ‘share’ model from workspace1 to registry using AzureML UI.
Below are some examples of SDK to get (‘pull’) data/model/environment/component from registry:
Then further register into the workspace, below is an example for environment:
The cool thing about this solution is that, once a tenant gets data/model/environment/component from registry, where originally shared by another tenant, it can build its own ML pipeline, run the pipeline using its own resources. Besides the way described above using SDK, the tenant can retrieve those from AzureML Designer. By filtering the registry creator, the workspace can see the data, model and component, and then create pipeline on the canvas.
Below is one example in workspace4, it gets model from registry where originally from workspace3, it uses its own data set, AzureML pre-built component, and creates a fine-tuning pipeline. After it runs the pipeline, fine-tunes the model, it can share a new version of fine-tuned model back to registry. Remember, workspace4 belongs to a different subscription from workspace3, it’s really cool!
The way registry ‘share/push’ model to a workspace is that it deploys a real-time or batch endpoint to the workspace. The workspace then can do inference using the endpoint. Below is an example, workspace4 gets the model from registry where originated from workspace3, then performs a test using input data.
If the workspace deployed an endpoint from the shared model, also ‘get/pull’ the model from the registry, it can add deployment to the endpoint, as shown below.

VMGroups on Hyper-V cluster
I was playing around with few third-party VM backup solutions, all of which (except one, which don’t support shared storage for VM) require clustered VMs to be in VMGroup. Seems like an easy task – if your VM Host is not clustered.
I am running two node Hyper-V cluster based on WS2022 Core with CSVs based on S2D. I wanted to make all core services clustered too, however each vm backup solution out there hisses at me for shared storage. So I tried creating VM group:
> new-vmgroup -Name test -GroupType VMCollectionType
new-vmgroup : The operation failed because the file was not found.
+ CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (:) [New-VMGroup], VirtualizationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : ObjectNotFound,Microsoft.HyperV.PowerShell.Commands.NewVMGroup
Well, it does not look successful to me. Online docs are not exhausting on this topic, search engines are linking to dead or scam sites and none AI assistant could not resolve my issue.
I have tried creating group on a node with cluster service disabled (I took it down for test) and it worked, I could also remove it afterwards. However with cluster service online – I cannot proceed.
It certainly defies any benefit of clustering. Unfortunately, using only Windows Backup is not an option – I have to provide “quick and easy” way for less technical helpdesk specialists to browse through backups, restore files and track changes.

removing an unused account from the welcome screen
I share an office computer with several colleagues and when I turn it on I see the Teams welcome screen with several accounts of those who have used it, including a former colleague who no longer works with us. I want to remove her name, but I don’t know how. I have removed her account in the general Windows settings, but her name is still there in Teams and gives me a little trigger every time (she left to avoid mobbing charges…) How can I make Teams forget about her?

Help understanding MDE Linux threat policies – MDE doesn’t delete/quarantine rookits?
Hello. Hoping someone can help me understand how to confirm (and possibly modify) the behavior of MDE for Linux regarding threat policies.
Here’s a folder containing EICAR:
$ ls test_me/
eicar.txt
It is properly detected as EICAR:
$ mdatp scan custom –path /home/analyst/test_me
Scan has finished
1 file(s) scanned
1 threat(s) detected
Threat(s) found
Id: “20a180da-feef-49a3-bec0-c23c9947d138”
Name: Virus:DOS/EICAR_Test_File
Type: “virus”
Status: “infected”
However, the file is not deleted or quarantined, because the status is “allowed”:
$ sudo mdatp threat get –id “20a180da-feef-49a3-bec0-c23c9947d138”
Id: “20a180da-feef-49a3-bec0-c23c9947d138”

Sha256 hash: 131f95c51cc819465fa1797f6ccacf9d494aaaff46fa3eac73ae63ffbdfd8267
How does MDE know to allow this? There are no threat families allowed:
$ mdatp threat allowed list
No threat families.
There are no policies defined by default (at least it doesn’t seem like it…the output is just two rows of equal signs):
$ mdatp threat policy list
=====================================
=====================================
I looked into how to set threat policies, thinking maybe the default is to allow everything. It appears there are only two types of threat policies: archive bombs and potentially unwanted applications (PUA):
$ mdatp threat policy set
Configure a threat handling policy:
–type arg Threat type. Accepted values: archive_bomb,
potentially_unwanted_application
–action arg Action to take when a threat is encountered. Accepted
values: off, audit, block
Eicar is definitely not an archive bomb. Maybe it is a PUA, so I set the policy to block:
$ sudo mdatp threat policy set –type potentially_unwanted_application –action block
Threat policy modified successfully
$ mdatp threat policy list
=====================================
Threat type: potentially_unwanted_application
Action: block
=====================================
I scanned the file again and no change in behavior – it is still “allowed.”
Thinking MDE only allows EICAR because it knows it’s just for testing, I went ahead and threw a Stuxnet rootkit driver into the folder and scanned again. It was properly detected as Stuxnet, but still was just “allowed”.
$ mdatp scan custom –path /home/analyst/test_me
Scan has finished

Microsoft Philanthropies Nonprofit Microsoft Designer AI Challenge
Greetings Nonprofit leaders! Microsoft Philanthropies would like to invite you all to participate in a new and fun way to get involved with AI!
So many organizations have expressed interest in AI yet are hesitant on where to start or how to use it. In efforts to get you familiar with AI, I invite you to head over to Microsoft Designer and challenge you to create any 3D illustration you’d like that represents you and your organization.
For example, our team challenged each other to design a 3D illustration of ourselves doing something we love. Below is an example prompt of how I generated the image below.
“A 3D illustration of a classic style animated character of a black woman sitting casually on a replica of the Microsoft logo. The character is dressed professionally in pink and white and wears heels. She is holding a Surface tablet. The background of the image showcases her interest in cybersecurity.”
Are you excited and ready to create your own? Let’s do it!
1. Head over to designer.microsoft.com and sign in with your credentials. (Note: you may have to use your personal account and not an organizational account).
2. Next, scroll down and select Generate next to the Image Creator option.
3. At the top, enter your descriptive prompt. Here is an example prompt that you can use: (Note you can tweak the prompt below to match an accurate description of yourself and what your organization does).
“A 3D illustration of a classic style animated character of a black woman. The character is a volunteer for a nonprofit organization and the background shows her in a computer lab of students teaching them technology”.
4. Select generate and watch your description come to life!
5. It’s as simple as that! This quick and yet fun challenge just taught you how to use natural language processing to generate an image in AI. How cool!
Keep it going! Head back over to the main page and play around with the other tools in Microsoft Designer! Challenge yourself to think of other ways AI can assist your organization.
We’d love to see your creations submitted below!

Allowing users to Call out From Call Queues
Hello All,
We are implementing call queues within Teams Voice and want to allow users to call out using the Call queues Number. Currently the call queue has a Microsoft Teams Phone Resource Account License. We have spare Teams Phone with Calling Plan (Country zone1 – US) licenses but when I try to combine them it states that these two licenses are incompatible. We do not want to add an Operator Connect or set up Direct Routing and just want to do it within Microsoft licenses/portals.
My Question is what license is able to be added to a Resource account license to allow for the queue to make these outbound calls. I have seen the domestic calling plan license might work but did not see anything that indicated it was guaranteed.
Any advice/ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Bridge to Cloud 2 Promo
Hello Everyone , We have a few cases where our CSP team allowed a customer to purchase the Bridge to Cloud 2 promo outside of a customer’s EP renewal window as per the promos terms (ex. we allowed a customer to start the B2C2 promo 8 months after their EP renewal date) and we’re trying to understand the EP costs ramifications of this come the last year of the promotion for these clients. Has anyone else had a situation where a customer’s CSP promo purchase terms end date doesn’t align with the EP renewals dates? If so, what’s your understanding of how Microsoft will handle the last year’s EP renewal when we won’t have a screenshot showing a Bridge to cloud purchase with equivalent or greater value to cover the EP costs? We’re concerned that we will get billed for the customer’s EP for the last year and do not understand if we can let it lapse or not without penalties. Can anyone share their understanding in this case? Thank you in advance for any help or insight.

Microsoft Forms answers not loading in Excel online
Hi, I have this problem since yesterday:
On the answer page on Microsoft forms, the new answers are listed. When clicking on Open in Excel (online), it loads for a long time and then the ‘Sorry something went wrong’ page comes up with these details : ID de session : 9474f7fb-cde3-47d4-a215-8697d4c11d6e, ID de corrélation : 804be15c-dc45-436f-8b6b-93a4ae2d45a5
No one in my organisation can now open their answers from MS Forms in Excel.
Also, the new answers are not added automatically in the excel online document associated. It used to work and stoped working yesterday (I did not change anything or move the file).
I know the connection with the excel document is still on because when I am in the excel document and I click on modify the form, it goes to the right forms.
Do you know when this issue will be resolved and can I continue using the form while thise problem is on (meaning, the answers will eventually load in the excel)?.

When clicking on Open in Excel (online), it loads for a long time and then the ‘Sorry something went wrong’ page comes up with these details : ID de session : 9474f7fb-cde3-47d4-a215-8697d4c11d6e, ID de corrélation : 804be15c-dc45-436f-8b6b-93a4ae2d45a5 No one in my organisation can now open their answers from MS Forms in Excel. Also, the new answers are not added automatically in the excel online document associated. It used to work and stoped working yesterday (I did not change anything or move the file). I know the connection with the excel document is still on because when I am in the excel document and I click on modify the form, it goes to the right forms. Do you know when this issue will be resolved and can I continue using the form while thise problem is on (meaning, the answers will eventually load in the excel)?. Read More
