Sentitivity label discrepency between outlook inherited and legacy versions on Mac OS
Hi there,
We have set sensitivity labels in our organization. One of them is a “Public Label” for sending email outside of our organization.
On outlook legacy for Mac this Public Label is not visible
but it is Outlook Inherited for Mac
Any idea on how to troubleshoot this issue?
Thanks in advance,
Olivier

ACPI EC OpRegion location
Hello,
the ACPI specification defines OpRegions for ACPI bytecode to interact with devices, on suche device being the Embedded Controller. After looking at some example ACPI tables, it seems that Embedded Controller OpRegions can be defined anywhere inside the ACPI namespace, and not just inside the Embeeded Controller device scope.
What is the Windows kernel policy for such OpRegions? Which Embedded Controller will be used to handle them (if any)?
Thanks,
Armin Wolf

Monitor your data using Azure Monitor log search alerts and the Azure Data Explorer (ADX) Database
Azure Data Explorer (ADX) is a fast and scalable data analytics service that lets you query and analyze large volumes of data from various sources.
Have you ever thought of how to keep track of the health and performance of your workloads and business?
Have you ever encountered an issue where you wanted to get notified once something went wrong or needed your attention?
That’s where alerts come in handy.
allow you to create rules that automatically trigger actions when certain conditions are met.
In this blog post, we’ll show you how to create alert rules that query an ADX database and trigger actions based on the results. This way, you can monitor the data that is important to you and get notified when something happens that needs your attention. Some example scenarios:
You can create an alert rule to track your wind turbines yield and output. In case the output goes up to a level that risks the health of the facility an alert will be fired to allow you to take immediate action.
You can create an alert rule that tracks the pollution metrics of your car fleet. If the pollution level goes above a certain threshold, an alert is fired and triggers a webhook that calls a custom function to notify operations managers and call cars to service.
Create an Azure Monitor alert rule
An Azure Monitor log search alert rule consists of three components:
Make sure you properly define the properties below when creating an alert rule:
You need to specify the scope of the log search alert rule as the ADX cluster. You can do this in one of two ways:
If you are creating the alert rule from the Alerts page of the Azure portal, in the pane to select the resource, select the ADX cluster as the scope for your alert rule . You can filter by subscription, resource type (“Azure data explorer cluster”), or resource location.
If you are creating the alert rule directly from the ADX cluster blade, the scope is defined automatically as the ADX cluster.
You need to define the ADX cluster as part of the query definition. 
Log Analytics can’t automatically identify the column with the event timestamp. We recommend that if you’re querying an ADX cluster, make sure that you add a time range filter to the query. For example: “adx(‘https://help.kusto.windows.net/Samples’).table | where MyTS >= ago(5m) and MyTS <= now()”
In the Managed Identity section, select which managed identity is used by the log search alert rule to send the log query. This managed identity is used for authentication when the alert rule executes the log query. If you are querying an ADX database you must add Reader role for all workspaces (or specific data) accessed by the query. As a part of the log search alert rule you will need to define one of the following options for the identity used by the alert rule (more details here):
System assigned managed identity: Azure creates a new, dedicated identity for this alert rule. This identity has no permissions and is automatically deleted when the rule is deleted. After creating the rule, you must assign permissions to this identity to access the workspace and data sources needed for the query. For more information about assigning permissions, see Assign Azure roles using the Azure portal.
User assigned managed identity: Before you create the alert rule, you create an identity and assign it appropriate permissions for the log query. When you select this type of identity, a pane opens for you to select the associated identity for the rule.
Conclusion
With ADX alerts, you can easily monitor your data and get notified when something important happens. You can also use ADX alerts to automate your workflows, such as triggering a remediation action, sending a report, or updating a dashboard. Click here to learn more about Azure Monitor log search alerts that query ADX.

SQL Server Test Data Automation Tool Looking for Beta Testers
Anonomatic is nearing beta for our new Test Data Automation solution, and we are looking for people who are willing to test it out in their own environment. The first DBMS we support is SQL Server and where better for find experts to run it through its paces?
In summary, our containerized solution will let you easily automate the masking of all sensitive data in your SQL Server database so you may safely use production data for non-production uses such as testing and development.
The one-time configuration is quick and easy. Then depending on the size of your database, the entire fully automated process can easily take less than an hour.
Please post a response or contact Anonomatic if you are interested.
Thank you all.

Turning off an Excel feature accidentally activated
I accidentally activated an Excel feature which causes the following result: When I move my cursor from the activated cell to another location on the page, the feature creates a large grey square the stretches from the original activated cell to the new location of the cursor. How do I turn this feature off?
(Because my files are automatically saved to OneDrive, I cannot get rid of this feature.)

mailto goes to old version of Outlook instead of new Outlook
After reinstalling a new computer, I installed Office 365 with the new Outlook. In Apps, mail, the mailto is default to “new Outlook”. If I open Paint and make a small drawing, and click on “send” it opens the older version of Outlook 2016 (or the old version of Oulook 365) instead of the new Outlook. I can see that there is the “File” option on the upper left, and there is no button (to choose). on the top right indicating that it’s the new Outlook. If I open the new Outlook directly, everything is OK. But If I try to send an email directly from any app (even Excel 365 or Word 465), it will go to the older version. The older version was never installed on the C: drive, but it exist on a D: backup drive, but was never installed as such. I deleted the Microsoft Office folder on the backup drive and I still have the same issue. Any Idea?

Alert Correlation and Linking
Hey team,
As a context, I haven’t been around Sentinel in about 1.5 years.I am trying to see how I can end up correlating different alerts/incidents in Sentinel based on entities. Eg. assume a scenario where, based upon some custom logs, I have 3 different scheduled rules popping. Between those 3 rules triggered, there is some commonality. Eg. all came from the same user / same IP, whatever.I am trying to see what is the way in Sentinel to show this correlation/story and going from individual alert triage to something cohesive that correlates everything.
I am seeing the Fusion rule theoretically supports custom scheduled rules in Sentinel for correlation.Any idea on how I could test fire that to show-case it? I’ve tried with 2 custom alerts, entities mapped, mitre, etc but it didn’t trigger.Is there any other way to achieve what I was mentioning? Is there some notebook or something that performs this kind of correlation between alerts that I am not aware of?
Thank you.

Excel what-if Price sensitivity table not working
I am trying to conduct a price sensitivity analysis in excel. The project is to calculate how much do I need to save to repay student loan. So my sensitivity table consists of 2 variables: (i) future salary and (ii) my saving ratio after deducting necessary expenses, and the output was my monthly net repayment to student debt.
However, the monthly net repayment to student loan in the sensitivty table is negative, and I clearly don’t figure out where I go wrong after checking tons of youtube videos.
Do someone know how to solve this? Thank you very much!

Samsung galaxy: outlook.com account not showing up in Settings – Manage accounts
I just upgraded from S20+ to S24+. I use Outlook with an outlook.com account.
These are set up and work fine, but when I go to Settings – Accounts and Backup – Manage accounts, I don’t see outlook.com at all. I see only gmail.
I added a second email (also outlook.com) to the Outlook app. That didn’t show up either. In the outlook app I cannot remove either, I can only reorder.
How do I make it show up? It is annoying because i use the Calendar widget, and I want to select the outlook.com (so it shows all the categories, colors etc) and I cannot, because it is not giving me outlook.com as an account to choose.
This worked fine in S20.

Hyperv node blue screens when rebooting a VM
Im asking here since our MS team cant seem to resolve the problem.
I am responsible for the Linux servers in our organization.
When a VM is rebooted the hyperv node where it lives will blue screen. All the VMs on the node is powered off and started on one of the active nodes.
The node blue screen will only happen once and after the node is up I can reboot VMs at will and hyperv stays happy until I need to reboot a VM a day or more after. This has been a problem since we moved from vmware to hyperv in 2020.
Ive been told we have the latest hardware drivers installed, ie network etc.. We are running on Windows Server 2019. Fully patched.
There are other hyperv clusters in our organization but they only host MS VMs. Our MS team started blaming the Linux guys for the problem but cannot give me any proof or where I can start looking.
On the Linux VMs we have the latest hyperv integration modules installed. What else can I investigate to resolve this problem?
