Guest access to plans in Planner – Do they need to switch organisations to see the plans?
Hi Planner team
With guest access set up for plans in planner, will the guest be able to view the plan in their own user? Or will they still be required to change organisations?
We see this a quite a barrier to collaboration across external partners and therefore are wondering if at all possible?
Many thanks!

archived Teams or Channels: still sychronised in Windows Explorer and files still writeable?
Hi everybody,
i am struggling with the concept of archiving teams and channels, after a project is finished i want to archive (not delete) the teams/channels. i am testing this and noticed a few things:
archived teams and channels are still synchronized with my windows explorer, can i control this behaviour? i want archived channels to Desynchronise in windows Explorer, is this possible?when teams are synchronized i can not edit files in Teams but files are still editable in Windows exploer. So i could edit a Word File in Windows Explorer, save the file and it will be synchronized via One Drive in Teams. why is that? does not really make any sense. when i archive a teams i want to freeze all the files in it and not just the ones opened in teams, how do i change this?

Azure Data Factory Synapse Analytics: Validate FileFolder before using!
In real time, every project would deal with Azure storage or Azure SQL Database. It can be blobs, folders/directories, files. It becomes a crucial step to validate the filefoldertable before actually using them.
Few usecases:
Suppose we have to load a file named SalesData.csv from a folder that gets created everyday in the format yyyy/MM/dd. Before we use this file in a copy data activity or a data flow activity, we have to first validate, if the folder exists or not.
If the folder exists, we might want to validate the size of the file. This is important, because, sometimes the files bring no data, i.e. a 0 kb file.
Another usecase would be to validate a table structure or file structure and make sure it is compliant with what we expect.
In ADFSynapse, we can use Validation activity andor getmetadata activity to validate files, folders and tables.
Validation Activity Settings & short description follows:
In the above image, we have a referenced a dataset called DelimitedText2, which would point to either a folder or file in azure blob storage or a table in a Azure SQL DB. Timeout property holds the time afterwhich the activity would timeout (note that, it wont fail). For instance, if the validation activity is meant to validate the presence of a filefoldertable, and it doesn’t find the corresponding item, after the timeout time, the activity execution stops and timesout. Next, we have the sleep property which makes the validation activity wait for certain number of seconds before revalidation or timeout. Minimum size property is used to mention the minimum size of a file in bytes (not applicable to table based dataset).
When the validation activity completes execution or times out, we can access the output json of the validation activity to know about the validation results.
Let us look at the GetMetadata activity and its settings.
Like validation activity, we have few properties that would help us validate the filefoldertable in a GetMetadata activity in ADFSynapse. Depending on whether the dataset points to a folderfiletable, the properties (field list) would differ.
The above image depicts the field list corresponding to a folder in ADLS. When we make the dataset point to a file, it would be as below.
So, if the dataset points to a file or table, we see couple of additional properties like Column Count, Size, Structure.
Having seen about the individual properties field list of both the activities, its time to compare and know the similarities and differences.
The below table compares the capabilities of Validation activity & Get metadata activity.
Validation Activity
Get metadata activity
Property Used
Validate File
Yes
Yes
Exists (returns boolean)
Validate Folder
Yes
Yes
Exists (returns boolean)
Validate File Size
Yes
Yes
Get Metadata Activity: Use Size property in field list
Validation Activity: Use Minimum size field in Settings tab
Validate File Structure
No
Yes
Get Metadata:
Use the Field List: Structure.
Then, Use another activity like If condition to validate the structure against the expected.
Validate File Column Count
No
Yes
Get Metadata:
Use the Field List: Column Count.
Then, Use another activity like If condition to validate the count against the expected.
In a nutshell, ADFSynapse comes with a variety of activities, sometimes with similar characteristics or capabilities. When it comes to validation, it is based on the use case, we decide to use either Validation activity or Get Metadata activity or both.

display Versionnumber in Files (Word …)
Hello everyone, I hope someone can help me with my problem.
I have been given the task of displaying the version number in Word documents. Without Powershell this works without any problems.
Activated the Library and Folder Based Retention Site Collection feature
Checked “Enable Labels” in the Information Management Policy Settings for the Document Content Type, and entered “{Version}” into the Label format field
Created a Word document in my library
Opened the document in Word, and inserted a Quick Part (Document Property > Label)
But I have to roll it out to all SharePoint sites in the tenant, so I have to implement it programmatically somehow.
Does anyone have any idea how I can do it with Powershell, unfortunately I can’t find anything on the internet after a long search.

Build your first ML-Model with ML.NET Model Builder
I’m Hamna Khalil, a Beta Microsoft Learn Student Ambassador from Pakistan. Currently, I’m a third-year student pursuing my bachelor’s degree in Software Engineering from Fatima Jinnah Women University.
Integrating machine learning functionalities into your .NET applications can be both exciting and daunting. However, with the advent of tools like ML.NET Model Builder and Visual Studio’s development environment, the process is significantly streamlined.
In this step-by-step guide, I’ll walk you through the process of building your first machine learning model using ML.NET Model Builder within Visual Studio 2022. From setting up your development environment to training and evaluating your model’s performance, each step is meticulously outlined to ensure a smooth and rewarding experience.
Step#01 Download and install
Download and install Visual Studio 2022 with the .NET desktop development workload selected, including the optional ML.NET Model Builder component.
After enabling ML.NET Model Builder in Visual Studio, download and install ML.NET Model Builder 2022
Step#02 Create .NET console app
To create a .NET console app in Visual Studio, follow these steps:
Open Visual Studio 2022 and select Create a new project.
Select C# Console App project template.
Change the project name to myMLApp. Ensure that Place solution and project in the same directory is unchecked.
Select the Next button.
Select .NET 8.0 (Long Term support) as the Framework.
Select the Create button.
Step#03 Add machine learning model
To add a machine learning model to your .NET console app in Visual Studio, follow these steps:
Right-click on the myMLApp project in Solution Explorer
Select Add > Machine Learning Model.
In the Add New Item dialog, ensure that Machine Learning Model (ML.NET) is selected.
Change the Name field to SentimentModel.mbconfig and select the Add button.
Step#04 Choose machine learning scenario
To build your sentiment analysis model, you first need to select your machine learning scenario.
In the Model Builder Scenario screen, choose the Data classification scenario.
Step#05 Select training environment
After selecting the Data classification scenario, choose your training environment.
Select the Local (CPU).
Step#06 Prepare data
Download the Sentiment Labelled Sentences dataset from the UCI Machine Learning Repository.
Unzip sentiment labelled sentences.zip and save the yelp_labelled.txt file to the myMLApp directory.
Select File as the input data source type.
Browse for the yelp_labelled.txt file. Once selected, a preview of your data will appear in the Data Preview section.
Under Column to predict (Label), select “col1”.
Step#07 Train the model
To train your model using Model Builder with the yelp_labelled.txt dataset, follow these steps:
Adjust Time to train to 60 seconds (you may increase this value if no models are found after training).
Select Start training to start the training process. Once training is done, you’ll see a summary of the training results.
Step#08 Evaluate model performance
The Evaluate step shows the best-performing algorithm and the best-accuracy.
In the Try your model section, the textbox is pre-filled with the first line of data from your dataset. You can modify this input to test different sentiment predictions.
After modifying the input, select the Predict button to see the model’s prediction.
Step#09 Consume the trained model
In the Consume step in Model Builder, a code snippet is provided that generates sample input for the model. Additionally, Model Builder offers two Project templates (a console app and a web API), both designed to consume the trained model.
To consume your trained model, replace the Program.cs code with the following code:
using MyMLApp;
// Add input data
var sampleData = new SentimentModel.ModelInput()
{
Col0 = “This restaurant was wonderful.”
};
// Load model and predict output of sample data
var result = SentimentModel.Predict(sampleData);
// If Prediction is 1, sentiment is “Positive”; otherwise, sentiment is “Negative”
var sentiment = result.PredictedLabel == 1 ? “Positive” : “Negative”;
Console.WriteLine($”Text: {sampleData.Col0}nSentiment: {sentiment}”);
Step#10 Run and debug
Navigate to the Debug menu and select Start Without Debugging or use the shortcut Ctrl + F5.
After running, you should see the following output, predicting whether the input statement is positive or negative.
Congratulations on successfully building and executing your first machine learning model with ML.NET Model Builder in Visual Studio 2022!
From setting up your development environment to training and evaluating your model’s performance, you’ve acquired the skills to leverage ML.NET’s capabilities for crafting predictive models efficiently. Armed with the power of ML.NET, you’re now ready to seamlessly integrate advanced machine learning functionalities into your .NET applications.

Get account name if UserPrincipalName is UserId
Sometimes the signin events in the various AAD signin logs contain the UserId as the UserPrincipalName. In some spot checks it looks to me that this often happens when the signin comes from a Teams app on an iOS device…
This requires the reader of the output to lookup the UserId e.g. in the Entra ID portal, to figure out which user this was.
Is there a way to do this dynamically in the KQL query so that I could add the name to the output?

Whatsapp App displays Notification Even After It was Closed!
Hi.
I installed Whatsapp on my Windows 11.
The bizzare thing that happened is that, even after I closed Whatsapp (it was not visible anymore neither on the task bar nor on the tray icon area), Whatsapp kept running on the background and displaying notifications of new messages arriving on my whatsapp on the screen!
I certainly don’t want apps running on the background after they were completely closed on the interface.
How can I force Whatsapp to be closed completely when I close it? Certainly that raises the concern of how many other apps are running on the background after being closed? I’m talking here, obviously, of explicit apps that should work only when opened by the user and displayed on the screen. I’m not talking about normal background processes of apps used to improve performance.
A background process to optimize performance is completely different of an app fully running and receiving messages after being closed. It’s like closing Outlook Email and keep receiving notifications that a new Email arrived even though the app was closed. That didn’t happen with outlook. but it’s a good analogy. That behaviour from Whatsapp is unacceptable!

Integrate services inside InTunes
Dear Team,
We have a requirement to integrate our services within InTunes. Essentially, our customers’ devices are already registered on InTunes. Therefore, our technicians and/or customers require a direct connection to our services, eliminating the need for re-registration of the same device on our platform. Is it feasible to implement a feature where clicking on a device triggers our app icon, allowing users to seamlessly navigate to our platform with all the necessary device details preloaded?
Thank you.

sharepoint field DisplayName InternalName StaticName special character conversion
If you create a new site column (field) that contains blanks or special characters, through the sharepoint GUI, then microsoft will convert those characters when it generates the InternalName and StaticName.
For example,
DisplayName = “Test or Test(s)”
InternalName = StaticName = Test_x0020_or_x0020_Test_x0028_s_x0029_
However, if you use an API call to create the site column , for example Add-PnPField, it will allow you to create an InternalName that does not follow this convention. i.e. one that contains spaces and special characters
eg.
Add-PnpField -DisplayName “Test3 or Test(s)” -InternalName “Test3 or Test(s)” -Type Text
this will result in the following Field object:
DisplayName = “Test3 or Test(s)”
InternalName = “Test3 or Test(s)”
StaticName = Test3_x0020_or_x0020_Test_x0028_s_x0029_
Questions:
1. If you create a field object, with blanks and special characters will this cause problems in the operation of sharepoint?
2. why does microsoft perform conversions of blanks and special characters?
3. what is the best way to replicate this behaviour when using an API call to create a FIELD object?
4. what is the best practice recommended by microsoft when creating a field object via an api call with regards to InternalName and Static Name
If you create a new site column (field) that contains blanks or special characters, through the sharepoint GUI, then microsoft will convert those characters when it generates the InternalName and StaticName.For example, DisplayName = “Test or Test(s)”InternalName = StaticName = Test_x0020_or_x0020_Test_x0028_s_x0029_ However, if you use an API call to create the site column , for example Add-PnPField, it will allow you to create an InternalName that does not follow this convention. i.e. one that contains spaces and special characterseg. Add-PnpField -DisplayName “Test3 or Test(s)” -InternalName “Test3 or Test(s)” -Type Text this will result in the following Field object:DisplayName = “Test3 or Test(s)”InternalName = “Test3 or Test(s)”StaticName = Test3_x0020_or_x0020_Test_x0028_s_x0029_ Questions:1.

Decommissioning Essentials 2012 server, replacing with 2022 – final steps before remove old AD role?
Hi folks,
Had another post on this where SYSVOL and NETLOGON weren’t working.. figured it out..
I confirmed DFS was definitely in use.
I’ve migrated the FSMO roles to the new server.
I’ve updated the PDC emulator to the new server.
I removed the certificate service (as I understand it’s not needed given I’m not using all the web fluff of old Essentials, and new one doesn’t have it) – but I did back it up.
Is there anything else I need to do?
… or just remove the AD role on the old server?

Migrate MFA server to Entra ID
Hi All,
Is it a must to use conditional access when migrating MFA server to Entra ID? My cu would like to save costs for not buying Entra ID P1/P2 if it is not a requirement.
“Configure Conditional Access policies if needed
If you use Conditional Access to determine when users are prompted for MFA, you shouldn’t need to change your policies.
If your federated domain(s) have SupportsMfa set to false, analyze your claims rules on the Microsoft Entra ID relying party trust and create Conditional Access policies that support the same security goals.
After creating Conditional Access policies to enforce the same controls as AD FS, you can back up and remove your claim rules customizations on the Microsoft Entra ID Relying Party.”
thanks.

Alert Creation on Duplicate Event Logs
Hi, I would like to setup a simple analytic rule and trigger an alert on an event with “High Severity” in log analytics table. I will group all events into one alert.
Example:
Logs_CL
| where Category == “High”
The challenge is, the same “high severity log events” gets ingested everyday which is kind of causing duplication of log entries.
What would be the best way to setup this rule to only alert once on these events and do not generate an alert again if the same events get ingested next day?
thanks
