SUP Office 2019 products
Our Primary server does not have internet access, we manage our SUP by synchronising from a shared SUS server that has internet access and already has the M365Office 2019 product enabled and can see the updates in the SUS Server catalogue.
We need to sync and patch office 2019, however when we enable the product on our primary server the sync takes hours and fails due “Failed to download file- “http://officecdn.microsoft.com/****” from internet. Using proxyserver – 1. Error = 12029″.
How can we get around this issue, when we can not allow the primary server to access OfficeCDN?

How to download videos from X Twitter on a PC?
I found three funny video clips on X (Twitter.com). Can I download those X videos on my Windows 11 PC? I tried a few online tools but they did not work. I’m kinda stuck on the best way to do it. Anyone know a straightforward tool or method that works well for this? Just looking to download some X clips for offline viewing.
Thank you

Using Entra ID Support for Passkey Authentication with Microsoft 365
Entra ID supports passkeys as an authentication method. In fact, support is a variation of the existing FIDO2 authentication method using device-bound passkeys managed by the Microsoft Authenticator app. Passkeys are a strong phishing-proof authentication method. The question is whether the current implementation will be considered too complicated by regular users.

Azure build pipeline with 0 code coverage always
Hi, so i have this classic build pipeline with the below tasks:
NugetRestore
Prepare Analysis on sonarqube
Build Solution with visual studio build
Visual studio test
Run code analysis
Publish Quality gate result
Copy files
Publish Artifact
My test tasks creates the code coverage file, my code analysis takes and converts it to xml. The issue is it stopped seeing the code covered.
It always 0 in the summary tab and if you click on code coverage tab it says : Code coverage report cannot be rendered as report HTML was not found. Please verify that “Report Directory” containing an HTML report was specified when publishing code coverage.
the thing is nothing changed from our end but i saw multiple pipelines with the same issue.
i cannot seem to find a resolution for this.
the tests run with vstest for whic Microsoft says you dont need a separate Publish code coverage result task.

Display start and end of tasks
Hello,
If anyone can help, I have a table of tasks and a row showing days, and below that row are rows with the completion of tasks, which is marked with an “x”. How to display information in column “B” with start day and in column “C” with end day for the given task.
As an example, I am attaching a photo in which the columns in which I want to extract the information with formulas are marked in yellow, and I have given the manually entered data for the first two tasks as an example.
Thanks!

Power BI Azure Maps visual – reference layer & Power BI Embedded support
Reference layer enhancements
We are thrilled to announce a major update to the Power BI Azure Maps visual reference layer, driven by our commitment to user feedback and adherence to the latest industry standards. This update significantly broadens the scope of supported data formats for the reference layer. Alongside the existing GeoJSON support, users can now incorporate data in KML (Keyhole Markup Language), WKT (Well-Known Text), and SHP (Shapefile) formats.
In a stride towards greater flexibility, we have introduced the URL option as an additional data source, complementing the traditional file upload method. This enhancement empowers users to import spatial data into Power BI with ease, regardless of whether it’s stored in GeoJSON, KML, WKT, SHP formats, or accessible via a URL. The Power BI Azure Maps visual is designed to integrate these diverse formats smoothly, offering a robust and dynamic geospatial analysis toolkit.
Power BI Embedded Support
Responding to the high demand, we’ve expanded the availability of the Azure Maps visual to Power BI Embedded, further enhancing its accessibility. Efforts are underway to extend this feature to ‘publish to web’ options as well.
The Azure Maps Power BI visual is now accessible across a variety of platforms:
Service/App
Availability
Power BI Desktop
Yes
Power BI service (app.powerbi.com)
Yes
Power BI mobile applications
Yes
Power BI publish to web
No, currently in development
Power BI Embedded
Yes
Power BI service embedding (PowerBI.com)
Yes
Azure Maps Visual Data Residency
In recognition of the critical importance of data privacy and residency for our enterprise clients, we have made significant improvements to the Azure Maps visual. Now, the visual automatically connects to the most appropriate geographic endpoints based on the user’s Power BI tenant location. For example, European tenants will have their data routed through eu.atlas.microsoft.com, in compliance with European regulations. Similarly, data for tenants in the United States will be processed within the US region via us.atlas.microsoft.com. This enhancement not only boosts user satisfaction but also ensures strict adherence to data residency regulations. For an in-depth understanding of this feature, explore Microsoft’s documentation on Azure Maps Power BI visual Data Residency and the Azure Maps service’s geographic scope.

Subscriptions changes – Defender for Business
Good morning,
Any advice on how to convert subscriptions previously using E5 licenses and a combination of licenses to Defender for business?
(The change subscription option is not present on the tenants)
Sitting with the following challenges:
1) I have one client using only Business premium licenses whose Security portal only reflects as per the screenshot below. How do I change this to Defender for Business?
2) I have another client using 4 * E5 licenses and 150 * Business Premium licenses. How do I change this to Defender for Business?
Any advice will be appreciated.

Access denied, used to be public to organisation
Hi, I have recently taken over a SharePoint page for my organisation, this was set up originally by head office and hasn’t been used since. Before I was “owner” on the page I was able to view the SharePoint site with no issues. However, I was playing with permissions yesterday and I’ve broken it! Now, when others try to access they get an access denied message, if I turn on access requests then people can request access but I don’t want to have to approve everyone, I want the site to be visible for anyone within my organisation. I’ve spent about 5hrs googling trying to fix this but I have no idea what to do. PLEASE HELP! Note: I have checked the SharePoint version, it is ‘SharePoint in Microsoft 365’

Exchange 2019 CU 14. EAC problem Mail App Apple (Iphone, Ipda)
Hello dear friends.
I have strange problems with EAC on iphones and iPads.
The essence of the problem is that if there is an attached photo inside the body of the letter, it does not open immediately but loads for about a minute or two and only then opens, and you understand that the user is very worried at this moment.
There are no such problems on Android devices, everything works smoothly, all attachments open without delay. EAC published via MS WAP, but, i thing problem not with wap server.
Perhaps, some of you have already encountered a similar problem and can help me solve it.
Thank you.
