Unlock inline PowerShell capabilities to streamline Logic Apps workflows
The new inline PowerShell action, now in preview, adds flexibility to Logic Apps by enabling users to embed PowerShell scripts directly into workflows. This feature unlocks new possibilities for complex integrations, and I’m excited to demonstrate its potential with a bank reconciliation workflow demo.
What is the Inline PowerShell Action?
Just like the inline C# action recently released, the inline PowerShell action enables you to embed custom PowerShell scripts directly into your Logic Apps Standard workflows, allowing you to write and execute scripts within the workflow designer and eliminating the need for additional services. The action supports dynamic content from previous steps and returns the results from your PowerShell code for use in subsequent actions.
Key Benefits:
Management and cost: By embedding PowerShell scripts directly into the workflow, you reduce the complexity and cost associated with managing separate services.
Dedicated scripting Space: The action generates a dedicated .ps1 file, providing a personalized scripting environment.
Seamless Deployment: Scripts are deployed alongside your workflow, ensuring smooth and efficient execution.
Support for public and private modules: The inline PowerShell action supports up to 10 public modules from the PowerShell Gallery, such as Az or SqlServer, by enabling managed dependencies. Additionally, you can create and use private modules within your Logic Apps for custom functionality, improving code reuse and workflow maintainability.
Demonstrating the Power of Inline PowerShell: A Bank Reconciliation Workflow
To illustrate the capabilities of this new feature, I’ve developed a bank reconciliation workflow. This demo showcases how to automate the bank reconciliation process by starting and deallocating virtual machines (VMs) using inline PowerShell scripts. The workflow is triggered on a recurring schedule, where it starts the VM, checks for the necessary files, and uploads them to storage. If the files are not found, the workflow automatically notifies the relevant team to address the issue. Here is the sample demo on GitHub to try out.
Pre-requisites:
Azure VM with RDP set up. Read more about setting it up here
Azure Storage account with a configured blob
The Workflow Breakdown:
Here is what the workflow would look like:
Trigger the Workflow (Recurrence): The process starts with a scheduled trigger that initiates the bank reconciliation workflow at regular intervals. In our case, it is set to every day given new bank statements from partner bank are uploaded to the server every day for processing
Start the VM with PowerShell: The inline PowerShell action is used to start a virtual machine, setting up the necessary environment for the reconciliation tasks. Here is what my script looks like
Note: Do not forget to add “Connect-AzAccount -Identity” so managed identity is configured, and Logic App can access the VM.
List Files in a Folder: Once the VM is up and running, the workflow lists all files and subfolders in a specified directory, checking for the presence of necessary reconciliation files in defined folder path of the server.
Iterate Over Files (For Each Loop): The workflow loops through each file found in the folder to process them individually. Using the token picker, select the “Folder items” parameter.
Condition Check: A condition is evaluated to determine if the required files are present:
True Path: If the files are found, the workflow retrieves the file content and uploads it to a storage container for further processing or archival.
Use the File System connector’s Get file content operation to retrieve each file and its contents
Upload the file to storage account for the parent bank to process from
False Path: If the files are not found, the workflow sends an email notification to alert the appropriate team members that the files were not uploaded to the server by the partner bank.
Deallocate the VM with PowerShell: After completing the file processing, another inline PowerShell action deallocates the VM to optimize resource usage and reduce costs.
Running the workflow
The workflow will be triggered automatically every day. Keep in mind to:
Upload bank statements to the file share folder of the VM so the workflow can pick them up every day.
From the requirements.psd1 file, comment out the ‘Az’ versioning line to ensure that the script can use Az module with appropriate version. You can find this file using Advanced Tools from Poral in Kudu. More instructions can be found here.
Considerations and Limitations
While the inline PowerShell action is powerful, there are some considerations and limitations to keep in mind:
Script Run Duration: The maximum duration is 10 minutes. For longer scenarios, consider providing feedback to Microsoft for extended support.
Output Size: The output size is limited to 100 MB.
Script Management: The script is saved as a .ps1 file within the workflow folder and can be reused in other workflows by copying the file from the KuduPlus console.
Conclusion
The introduction of the inline PowerShell action in Azure Logic Apps is a significant enhancement, enabling more advanced and integrated workflows. Whether you need to manage Azure resources, perform administrative tasks, or automate complex processes, this new capability provides the tools you need.
For more detailed guidance, you can refer to the official documentation on adding and running PowerShell scripts in Azure Logic Apps.

Native Windows principals for SQL Managed Instance | Data Exposed
This capability simplifies the migration to SQL Managed Instance and unblock the migration of legacy applications that are tied to windows logins. This feature plays a vital role for SQL Managed Instance link. Managed Instance link enables near real-time data replication between SQL Server and SQL Managed Instance, the read-only replica in the cloud prevents creation of Microsoft Entra principals. The Windows authentication metadata mode allows customers to use an existing Windows login to authenticate to the replica if a failover happens.

Help me figure out how to completely remove Intune from my Samsung s21

Outlook emails to Gmail recipients: Get 421-4.7.28 temporary rate limit failure every other mailing
Hello. I am the volunteer IT director for my church. We send out periodic emails to our congregation with announcements from Microsoft 365 Business (Outlook), in which we have set up an email address for our Bluehost domain name. When we do this, there are generally 160 recipients sent bcc, and about 56 of those are Gmail email addresses. When I took over in February, all email sent to Gmail was being blocked because DKIM and DMARC had not been set up on our domain, which I addressed (SPF was already set up). After that was done, the next mailing like this went out fine. Then, about two weeks later, we started getting this error on all mailing like this with for the Gmail recipients: 421-4.7.28 Gmail has detected an unusual rate of mail originating from your SPF 421-4.7.28 domain [<domain name>.com 35]. To protect our users from 421-4.7.28 spam, mail sent from your domain has been temporarily rate limited. After a few weeks passed, another mailing was received without incident to our Gmail recipients. However, the very next one resulted in the error message above again. I have used every checker I can think of (Mxtoolbox, aboutmy.email, and Gmail Postmaster Tools), and they all see no issues with SPF, DKIM, or DMARC. The only thing left I can think of is that even through we in no way send 5,000 emails a day (none of our emails are marketing emails in any way), Gmail seems to be placing the bulk sender rules on us. If this is the case, I have been able to put an in-body unsubscribe link in our emails, but I don’t know if the one-click unsubscribe requirement can be accomplished in Microsoft 365 Business. Just looking to see if anyone else has had a similar situation, and knows of a way to resolve this. Also curious if anyone had any information about the one click unsubscribe availability in Outlook outbound emails. Thanks in advance!

Updates to Microsoft Copilot to bring enterprise data protection to more organizations
Next month, we are making several updates to the free Microsoft Copilot service for users with a Microsoft Entra account to enhance data security, privacy, and compliance and simplify the user experience. For users signed in with an Entra account, Microsoft Copilot will offer enterprise data protection (EDP) and redirect users to a new simplified, ad-free user interface designed for work and education.
Enterprise data protection
For users signed in with an Entra account [1], Microsoft Copilot will offer enterprise data protection. EDP will be available for these users at no additional cost. EDP refers to controls [2] and commitments, under the Data Protection Addendum and Product Terms, that apply to customer data for users of Copilot for Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Copilot [3]. This means that security, privacy, and compliance controls and commitments available for Copilot for Microsoft 365 will extend to Microsoft Copilot prompts and responses. Prompts and responses are protected by the same terms and commitments that are widely trusted by our customers—not only for Copilot for Microsoft 365, but also for emails in Exchange and files in SharePoint.
With EDP in Microsoft Copilot:
We secure your data: We help protect your data with encryption, at rest and in transit, rigorous physical security controls, and data isolation between tenants.
Your data is private: We won’t use your data except as you instruct. Our commitments to privacy include support for GDPR, ISO/IEC 27018 [4], and the Data Protection Addendum.
Your access controls and policies apply to Copilot [5]: Prompts and responses are logged, retained, and available for audit, eDiscovery, and advanced Microsoft Purview capabilities. The specific controls will vary depending on the underlying subscription plan.
You are protected against AI security risks: We help safeguard against AI-focused risks such as harmful content and prompt injections.
Your data isn’t used to train foundation models: Prompts and responses are not used to train foundation models.
Simplified experience
We’ve also responded to customer feedback with a new simplified, ad-free Copilot user interface designed for work and education. And to help people get started quickly, we’re introducing prompt examples relevant to work and education scenarios.
Starting in mid-September, you will be able to experience Microsoft Copilot at Microsoft.com/copilot and in the Microsoft 365 app, and it will be coming soon to Microsoft Teams and Outlook. To ensure people across your organization have easy access to Microsoft Copilot and can benefit from the security and experience updates to Copilot, enable in-app access today.
The option to pin Copilot can be found under Settings on the Copilot page in the Microsoft 365 admin center (Global Admin permissions required).
Image of a settings page with options to agree or disagree pinning. The page includes toggle switches for each option, allowing the user to select their preference.
To learn more about these updates, head to our FAQ. And be sure to check back here for more announcements and updates in the weeks to come.
________________________________________________________________________________________________
[1] Government cloud customers and students under 18 are not yet eligible.
[2] The specific controls will vary depending on the underlying subscription plan.
[3] The use of the term EDP is not meant to limit the benefits offered under the Data Protection Addendum and Product Terms. The specific controls will vary depending on the underlying subscription plan.
[4] Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365 runs on the ISO 27018 certified Microsoft 365 platform. Microsoft Copilot will start rolling out to the same platform in the second half of September 2024 for users signed in with a Microsoft Entra account.

Channel Meetings Prematurely Posting “Meeting has ended”
Hi Community,
I have been experiencing this issue since June 11th and have yet to see a resolution.
When I create a meeting within a channel, before I even save the event, it posts to the channel “Meeting has ended“.
Sometimes after I’ve saved the meeting, this post will auto-update itself and the “Join” button is then added and “Meeting has ended” is removed. However, this isn’t always the case so it’s behavior inconsistent.
We are unable to schedule channel meetings as this is confusing for the users, especially those who receive Team and channel notifications.
Has anyone else experienced this and/or is Microsoft working on a solution??

Logic Apps Standard Monitoring Dashboards
Recently, we introduced Insights support for Azure Logic Apps Standard, offering curated visualizations as a foundation for monitoring Azure services. These visualizations enable you to monitor Logic Apps Standard applications and workflows effectively.
In integration scenarios, where multiple systems and services interconnect, monitoring is crucial. Azure Logic Apps often serves as the backbone of these integrations, orchestrating complex workflows.
Whether you’re a developer, IT operations team member, or product owner, ensuring that systems run smoothly is essential. This release helps you gain a clear view of data flows, quickly detect and resolve issues, and maintain seamless operations.
Scope
The monitoring dashboards are designed specifically for Logic Apps Standard. The scope of the dashboard is the workflows inside the Logic App. The compute-based dashboard leverages the underlying App Service plan for that Logic App.
Data source
Most charts are based on Azure Metrics, requiring no user configuration. However, run details are not available in metrics, so we use Application Insights as the data source for these.
Visualization framework
The dashboard is built using Azure Workbooks, offering a variety of visualizations. Workbooks are easily extendable, allowing for customization to meet specific needs.
Pre-requisites to use the feature
To effectively use the dashboards, your Logic Apps must be linked to Application Insights to enable telemetry collection. Additionally, it’s crucial to ensure that your application uses the updated V2 schema for telemetry. Here are the steps to update the host.json file to implement the new schema.
Capabilities
The dashboard is organized into four distinct tabs. The workflow starts with an aggregated view of all runs, followed by a summary at the workflow level, and then drills down into the details of specific workflow runs. The final tab is dedicated to performance analysis, focusing on compute utilization.

The workflow starts with an aggregated view of all runs, followed by a summary at the workflow level, and then drills down into the details of specific workflow runs. The final tab is dedicated to performance analysis, focusing on compute utilization.
Overview
This section provides a bird’s eye view of your application’s health by displaying the success rates of runs, actions, and triggers. The accompanying table offers detailed counts of runs that have failed, succeeded, or been skipped.
Additionally, trend charts illustrate the patterns of runs, actions, and triggers over the selected time range. This overview helps you quickly assess the status and timeline of your runs. If failures are detected, you can proceed to the workflows tab to pinpoint and analyze them within specific workflows.
Workflows
The workflow and run information is organized into two tables: one focused on successful runs and the other on failed runs. Each table provides detailed, workflow-specific information, including the total number of runs, their statuses, and a breakdown of actions and triggers.
The timeline offers a visual representation of traffic, especially useful in the failure table to track transitions between failed and successful states. At this stage, you can drill deeper into specific workflows and their runs, with detailed information available in the Runs tab.
Runs
The run details are not available in metrics and are pulled from AppInsights associated with your Logic App. For this table to work properly, you need to ensure –
Your Logic Apps is associated with AppInsights resource to push telemetry
The telemetry is based on V2 schema. The below screenshot shows the flag that needs to be added to the Settings in the host.json. Learn more about the v2 schema.
The runs page offers filters to refine runs by workflow name, run status, and client tracking ID. You can select a specific run by clicking on a row, which will open a detailed table showing the actions and their statuses for that run. This helps you identify the exact action that caused a run to fail. Additionally, you can click through the rows to explore more about related dependencies.
Another useful feature in the runs table is the ability to resubmit runs. This is particularly valuable when workflow failures are due to intermittent issues or downstream failures that resolve over time.
Compute
Logic Apps Standard operates on the customer’s compute, providing greater control over the scaling and performance of applications. This section offers insights into compute utilization for your workloads. It’s important to note that compute resources can be shared across multiple Logic Apps, so if you’re sharing an App Service Plan or Workflow Standard Plan, this should be considered.
The first two charts display job count and execution delay in the underlying runtime engine. These metrics help diagnose unexpected performance issues by indicating whether load has increased (more jobs) or whether compute is temporarily unavailable / constrained. You can learn more about the relevance of these concepts here.
The next two charts provide number of nodes (VMs) and the average memory utilization across them. The trend charts should help you see how your application scales up and down and CPU and memory utilization based on those traffic patterns.
These charts represent the memory and CPU utilization trends for the entire App Service plan. If the plan is shared across applications, this will give you the utilization across applications. You should be able to use this in combination with above charts to get a better view into the compute utilization of this Logic App v/s others that use the same compute.
What’s Next
We’re excited to bring you out-of-the-box monitoring capabilities for Logic Apps Standard. We have many enhancements planned for future iterations, including:
Bulk resubmission of runs
Easy one-click transitions between charts (e.g., click on a workflow name to see its runs)
Customizable workbooks to tailor the monitoring experience to your business needs
If this feature is important to you, we’d love to hear your feedback, feature requests, or input on our roadmap.

allmargin gives incorrect answers for some discrete time systems
Hi,
Consider the following code:
s = tf("s");
gs = 1/(s*(s+1));
gz = c2d(gs, 4, "zoh");
allmargin(gz)
gclz = zpk(feedback(gz,1,-1));
abs(gclz.P{1})
In R2024a, the stable flag given by allmargin is equal to one, indicating that the closed loop system is stable. On the other hand, the last sentence of the above code shows that the closed-loop system has a pole outside the unit circle, and therefore it is unstable. I do not have this issue in R2022b. Why the difference?
Sincerely
