Exclude folder underneath Documents by policy
Hello my dear friends,
I like to know if there is a way (intune, SCCM oder ADMX template) to exclude a subfolder of syncronized folder (Known folder move) named “Documents“. The reason is, that there is a software deployed automatically to the computers and this software stores a lot of files with a lot of changes over the day to this folder underneath Documents and OneDrive is starting to hang oder starting to throw sync errors because of that. Now we need to exclude this folder for sync.
Any help is appreciated
PS: To install the software on hundrets of clients to another directory unfortunately is not an option, to get ahead of you 😉 😉

SIGILL coredump and Linux builds debug symbols
Hello everyone,
Is there any plan to not stripping debug symbols (or offering them in a package) for Beta/Dev builds of Edge on Linux or offering them as a package?
And if not, why? I get stripping them for space efficiency, but usually there’d be a microsoft-edge-beta-debugsym/devel package with it for such cases.
This is prompted by getting a SIGILL tab worker crash every now and then (Edge Beta channel on Fedora), and would like to investigate, but I’m unable to do much with the backtrace I get back since it is all mangled.
It’s not super frequent, but I got ~100 of these over the past year, and it would be helpful for us (and for Microsoft in turn) if we could help look into what is happening.
I suspect the issue lies with hardware-accelerated DOM rendering (since nearly all Linux browser issues seem to originate in the sad history of Nvidia GPUs on it), but I’d like some conclusive proof or to be able to get the bug looked into at some point.
Thanks

Govern your Azure Firewall configuration with Azure Policies
Introduction:
In the rapidly evolving digital landscape, securing cloud environments is more critical than ever. Azure Firewall emerges as a pivotal defense mechanism, offering stateful, cloud-native, and intelligent network firewall security services. It’s designed to protect Azure Virtual Network resources and maintain the integrity of cloud workloads. With its high availability and unrestricted cloud scalability, Azure Firewall ensures robust protection against a myriad of cyber threats.
However, the true strength of Azure Firewall lies not only in its protective capabilities but also in its governability. The configuration of Azure Firewall is a vital aspect that demands meticulous management to ensure that security policies are not only enforced but also aligned with the organization’s compliance and governance standards. This is where Azure Policy comes into play, providing a framework to enforce organizational standards and to assess compliance at scale. Its compliance dashboard offers an aggregated view to evaluate the overall environment state, allowing drill-down analysis at the per-resource and per-policy level.
In this blog, we will unravel how Azure Policy can be leveraged to govern Azure Firewall configurations, ensuring a fortified and compliant network security posture.
Azure Policy for Azure Firewall:
Azure Policy is a service in Azure that allows you to create, assign, and manage policies. These policies enforce different rules and effects over your resources, so those resources stay compliant with your corporate standards and service level agreements. Azure Policy does this by evaluating your resources for non-compliance with assigned policies. For example, you can have a policy to allow only a certain SKU size of virtual machines in your environment or to enforce a specific tag on resources.
Azure Policy can be used to govern Azure Firewall configurations by applying policies that define what configurations are allowed or disallowed. This helps ensure that the firewall settings are consistent with organizational compliance requirements and security best practices.
Available Policies for Azure Firewall:
Enable Threat Intelligence in Azure Firewall Policy: This policy makes sure that any Azure Firewall configuration without threat intel enabled will be marked as non-compliant.
Deploy Azure Firewall across Multiple Availability Zones: The policy restricts Azure Firewall deployment to be only allowed with Multiple Availability Zone configuration.
Upgrade Azure Firewall Standard to Premium: This policy recommends the upgradation of Azure Firewall Standard Deployments to Premium so that all the Next Gen Protection firewalls of the Premium SKU can be utilized. This will further enhance the security posture of the environment.
Azure Firewall Policy Analytics should be enabled: This policy ensures that the Policy Analytics is enabled on the firewall to effectively tune and optimize firewall rules.
Azure Firewall should only allow Encrypted Traffic: This policy analyses existing rules and ports in azure firewall policy and audits firewall policy to make sure that only encrypted traffic is allowed into the environment.
Azure Firewall should have DNS Proxy Enabled: This Policy Ensures that DNS proxy feature is enabled on Azure Firewall deployments.
Enable IDPS in Azure Firewall Premium Policy: This policy ensures that the IDPS feature is enabled on Azure Firewall deployments to effectively protect the environment from various threats and vulnerabilities.
Enable TLS inspection on Azure Firewall Policy: This policy mandates the enablement of TLS inspection feature to detect, alert, and mitigate malicious activity in HTTPS traffic.
Migrate from Azure Firewall Classic Rules to Firewall Policy: This policy recommends migrating from Firewall Classic Rules to Firewall Policy.
VNET with specific tag must have Azure Firewall Deployed: This policy finds all VNETs with a specified Tag and checks if there is an Azure Firewall deployed and flags as non-compliant if no Azure Firewall exists.
Using Azure Policy to Govern Azure Firewall Configuration: The following steps outline the process of creating and assigning a policy definition to a particular Resource Group within Azure.
Define the Policy: Start by defining the policy that aligns with your security requirements. This includes specifying the allowed firewall SKUs, required tags, and the necessary rules and settings. Check out the Policy Definition Structure and Aliases from Azure documentation to understand how a custom policy can be built. Additionally, you can leverage the pre-built policy definitions that are available in the Net Sec GitHub Repository to build a custom policy. Moreover, Azure offers built-in policies which are accessible from the Definitions tab in the Policy blade. These policies can be directly assigned to a scope as outlined in the process below. Note that most of the policies from the above-mentioned GitHub repository will soon be integrated as built-in policies within Azure.
Creating a New Policy Definition: The policy depicted in the image below performs an audit on the Azure Firewall Policy deployments in the specified scope. If Threat Intelligence is not enabled the policy marks the audited resource as ‘non-compliant’. This allows the Firewall Administrator to take the necessary action of enabling the required feature to address the compliance issues. Additionally, we can also deploy a policy that blocks any resources which do not match the specified condition.
Assign the Policy: Once the policy is defined, assign it to the relevant scope, such as a subscription, resource group, or individual resources. This determines where the policy will be enforced.
Monitor Compliance: Use Azure Policy’s compliance data to monitor and ensure that your Azure Firewall configurations remain compliant with the assigned policies. Non-compliant resources can be identified and remediated.
Audit and Enforce: Policies can be set to audit existing configurations and enforce new configurations, ensuring ongoing compliance and security of your Azure Firewall.
Conclusion: By leveraging Azure Policy in conjunction with Azure Firewall, you can maintain a strong security posture, automate compliance tasks, and ensure that your cloud environment adheres to the necessary regulations and standards. This integration simplifies the governance of your network security and helps protect your resources from potential threats.

Supercharge your datacenters with Hyper-V and virtualized GPUs
This session will dive into new GPU features on Windows Server and Azure Stack HCI, including GPU failover clustering and GPU partitioning (GPU-P). GPU-P, or GPU virtualization, is a new feature that allows users to share a physical GPU-P device with multiple virtual machines. With GPU-P, each virtual machine (VM) gets a dedicated portion of the GPU capacity instead of the entire GPU. This translates into more cost efficiency for your organization as you can assign GPU resources where needed. Join us as we share more on this new feature and run through multiple exciting demos.

Data Clustering using VAE?
I’m quite new to machine learning. I’ve only taken one ML class, but I’m hoping to expand on what we did there, which was mainly different ways to cluster data. I’ve mainly tried the built-in clustering methods so far.
I came across this article: https://www3.ntu.edu.sg/home/EXDJiang/spl20.pdf
And I wanted to try clustering with a VAE. From what I understand from the paper, a clustering method is going to be applied to the latent dimensions? I’ve looked at the VAE examples in MATLAB, but they all deal with image data and recreating images. Plus, the latent dimensions weren’t explicitly accessed there.
Am I going in the wrong direction with this idea? Are there more suited neural architectures for clustering?
Thank you in advance, and sorry if this is a vague and terrible question.I’m quite new to machine learning. I’ve only taken one ML class, but I’m hoping to expand on what we did there, which was mainly different ways to cluster data. I’ve mainly tried the built-in clustering methods so far.

Bringing Multiple Columns Over from VLOOKUP Table
Howdy folks,
Looking for advice on a VLOOKUP task and how you might handle it.
In this example, I have a template that has fixed values in the rows (Department names), and two columns (Charges and Receipts).
DepartmentChargesReceiptsCATEGORY III CODES EP OFFICE PREVENTATIVE JOINT INJECTION LESION/ABSCESS MEDICAL MISCELLANEOUS NP OFFICE NP PREVENTIVE PQRS PROCEDURES
I also have a pivot table that is formatted in the same way, but does not always have values for each Department row.
USE DEPTSum of ChargesSum of PaymentsEP OFFICE $116,499.00 $33,516.18MISCELLANEOUS $- $22.00NP OFFICE $6,776.00 $1,785.11PQRS $0.43 $0.01
Normally, what I would do, is in the first Charges cell on the empty table (B2) I would do a formula combining an iferror with a vlookup, reference the Department name in Column A on the first table with Department name in column A of my pivot table, to pull over the Charges in the second column. Then I would have to type almost the same formula again under the Receipts column, but pull from column 3.
I’m doing much larger tables than just this example set. Is there a way to quickly either drag the iferror(vlookup) formula, or copy and paste it, across multiple columns on the empty table, while changing the column number that it pulls from the pivot table to correspond?
I can lock in the lookup value and the table array values using $ to prevent them from shifting as the formula is copied or dragged across, but the index number always remains the same when doing that. In the example above, if I put my formula in the empty Charges column, used $ to lock in the lookup value to that column, selected my entire pivot table, and indexed on column two (charges), then copied that formula over to the next column (receipts) it would still pull the charges from the pivot.
I want to be able to copy/drag that vlookup across 50+ columns and hundreds of rows, without having to then manually change the index number in row one in every single column to match the column from the array, before then copying/dragging that down each subsequent column.
Clear? Confusing?
Thoughts?
Thanks in advance.

i want to count the accrue interest for loan and tag either its new or recurring customer
hi to all the experts here..
i need your help to count the accrue interest and tag customer which its a new customer or recurring.
i need to count the accrue interest in column H with condition as below:
1. if the status in column “J” is “unpaid”, hence i need the formula of accrued interest running until the status changed to paid.
2. the loan tenor is 30 days, so the accrue interest should start from day 1 after disburse date until loan due date.
3. if the loan is unpaid until the due date, column H also need to calculate the late fee but with condition that if days past due (column K) is between day 1-5 it wont calculate the late fee, late fee only occurs in day 6, which is [1 day*0.05%*disburse amount], if the days past due (column K) is 7 hence the formula is [2 days*0.05%*disburse amount]
also for column I, i need to have a formula where if the customer name in column A is the first to came hence the status in column I is “New” but if the customer name cames up again for the 2nd time then its a “recurring”
let me know im not clear because english is not my 1st language, i can try to rephrase my word later..
thankyou!!!

Excel VLOOKUP with Multiple Criteria (Dynamic Price Tiers) to determine Markup Price
I have a table with four columns: Price Tier, Min, Max, % rate. I want to use a vlookup in excel to determine the appropriate % rate based on the input from the user, and then compute the markup price (dynamic price tiers).
I have tried these formulae with no success:
1. To get the price tiers, I used: LOOKUP(2,1/((H3>=H6:H17)*(H3<=I6:I17)),G6:G17)
2. To get the % rate, I used: =LOOKUP(I3,tiers,customers)
I would appreciate any help.
Also, how do I use mins and maxes in excel? I don’t mean minimum and maximum. It puzzles me that I can’t even get a hint about it in excel.
Again, I would appreciate your help in solving this problem.

Access crashing directly on start
Hello,
since this morning Access is always crashing directly on start without any comment.
I had trouble since some month that Access was crashing during development several times a day. But i could accept that, as i always save the Db under different Version number, after some changes.
But the problem now is that i even can not start Access directly from the Start-menue, without selecting a specific file.
Any idea how i can fix this issue?
