VMGroups on Hyper-V cluster
I was playing around with few third-party VM backup solutions, all of which (except one, which don’t support shared storage for VM) require clustered VMs to be in VMGroup. Seems like an easy task – if your VM Host is not clustered.
I am running two node Hyper-V cluster based on WS2022 Core with CSVs based on S2D. I wanted to make all core services clustered too, however each vm backup solution out there hisses at me for shared storage. So I tried creating VM group:
> new-vmgroup -Name test -GroupType VMCollectionType
new-vmgroup : The operation failed because the file was not found.
+ CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (:) [New-VMGroup], VirtualizationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : ObjectNotFound,Microsoft.HyperV.PowerShell.Commands.NewVMGroup
Well, it does not look successful to me. Online docs are not exhausting on this topic, search engines are linking to dead or scam sites and none AI assistant could not resolve my issue.
I have tried creating group on a node with cluster service disabled (I took it down for test) and it worked, I could also remove it afterwards. However with cluster service online – I cannot proceed.
It certainly defies any benefit of clustering. Unfortunately, using only Windows Backup is not an option – I have to provide “quick and easy” way for less technical helpdesk specialists to browse through backups, restore files and track changes.

removing an unused account from the welcome screen
I share an office computer with several colleagues and when I turn it on I see the Teams welcome screen with several accounts of those who have used it, including a former colleague who no longer works with us. I want to remove her name, but I don’t know how. I have removed her account in the general Windows settings, but her name is still there in Teams and gives me a little trigger every time (she left to avoid mobbing charges…) How can I make Teams forget about her?

Help understanding MDE Linux threat policies – MDE doesn’t delete/quarantine rookits?
Hello. Hoping someone can help me understand how to confirm (and possibly modify) the behavior of MDE for Linux regarding threat policies.
Here’s a folder containing EICAR:
$ ls test_me/
eicar.txt
It is properly detected as EICAR:
$ mdatp scan custom –path /home/analyst/test_me
Scan has finished
1 file(s) scanned
1 threat(s) detected
Threat(s) found
Id: “20a180da-feef-49a3-bec0-c23c9947d138”
Name: Virus:DOS/EICAR_Test_File
Type: “virus”
Status: “infected”
However, the file is not deleted or quarantined, because the status is “allowed”:
$ sudo mdatp threat get –id “20a180da-feef-49a3-bec0-c23c9947d138”
Id: “20a180da-feef-49a3-bec0-c23c9947d138”
Name: Virus:DOS/EICAR_Test_File
Type: “virus”
Detection time: Fri Apr 26 15:02:09 2024
Status: “allowed”
Path: “/home/analyst/test_me/eicar.txt”
File size: 69
Sha256 hash: 131f95c51cc819465fa1797f6ccacf9d494aaaff46fa3eac73ae63ffbdfd8267
How does MDE know to allow this? There are no threat families allowed:
$ mdatp threat allowed list
No threat families.
There are no policies defined by default (at least it doesn’t seem like it…the output is just two rows of equal signs):
$ mdatp threat policy list
=====================================
=====================================
I looked into how to set threat policies, thinking maybe the default is to allow everything. It appears there are only two types of threat policies: archive bombs and potentially unwanted applications (PUA):
$ mdatp threat policy set
Configure a threat handling policy:
–type arg Threat type. Accepted values: archive_bomb,
potentially_unwanted_application
–action arg Action to take when a threat is encountered. Accepted
values: off, audit, block
Eicar is definitely not an archive bomb. Maybe it is a PUA, so I set the policy to block:
$ sudo mdatp threat policy set –type potentially_unwanted_application –action block
Threat policy modified successfully
$ mdatp threat policy list
=====================================
Threat type: potentially_unwanted_application
Action: block
=====================================
I scanned the file again and no change in behavior – it is still “allowed.”
Thinking MDE only allows EICAR because it knows it’s just for testing, I went ahead and threw a Stuxnet rootkit driver into the folder and scanned again. It was properly detected as Stuxnet, but still was just “allowed”.
$ mdatp scan custom –path /home/analyst/test_me
Scan has finished
2 file(s) scanned

How does one configure MDE to actually delete or quarantine threats? Is this only possible with full system scans and not on-demand/custom scans?

Microsoft Philanthropies Nonprofit Microsoft Designer AI Challenge
Greetings Nonprofit leaders! Microsoft Philanthropies would like to invite you all to participate in a new and fun way to get involved with AI!
So many organizations have expressed interest in AI yet are hesitant on where to start or how to use it. In efforts to get you familiar with AI, I invite you to head over to Microsoft Designer and challenge you to create any 3D illustration you’d like that represents you and your organization.
For example, our team challenged each other to design a 3D illustration of ourselves doing something we love. Below is an example prompt of how I generated the image below.
“A 3D illustration of a classic style animated character of a black woman sitting casually on a replica of the Microsoft logo. The character is dressed professionally in pink and white and wears heels. She is holding a Surface tablet. The background of the image showcases her interest in cybersecurity.”
Are you excited and ready to create your own? Let’s do it!
1. Head over to designer.microsoft.com and sign in with your credentials. (Note: you may have to use your personal account and not an organizational account).
2. Next, scroll down and select Generate next to the Image Creator option.
3. At the top, enter your descriptive prompt. Here is an example prompt that you can use: (Note you can tweak the prompt below to match an accurate description of yourself and what your organization does).
“A 3D illustration of a classic style animated character of a black woman. The character is a volunteer for a nonprofit organization and the background shows her in a computer lab of students teaching them technology”.
4. Select generate and watch your description come to life!
5. It’s as simple as that! This quick and yet fun challenge just taught you how to use natural language processing to generate an image in AI. How cool!
Keep it going! Head back over to the main page and play around with the other tools in Microsoft Designer! Challenge yourself to think of other ways AI can assist your organization.
We’d love to see your creations submitted below!

Allowing users to Call out From Call Queues
Hello All,
We are implementing call queues within Teams Voice and want to allow users to call out using the Call queues Number. Currently the call queue has a Microsoft Teams Phone Resource Account License. We have spare Teams Phone with Calling Plan (Country zone1 – US) licenses but when I try to combine them it states that these two licenses are incompatible. We do not want to add an Operator Connect or set up Direct Routing and just want to do it within Microsoft licenses/portals.
My Question is what license is able to be added to a Resource account license to allow for the queue to make these outbound calls. I have seen the domestic calling plan license might work but did not see anything that indicated it was guaranteed.
Any advice/ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Bridge to Cloud 2 Promo
Hello Everyone , We have a few cases where our CSP team allowed a customer to purchase the Bridge to Cloud 2 promo outside of a customer’s EP renewal window as per the promos terms (ex. we allowed a customer to start the B2C2 promo 8 months after their EP renewal date) and we’re trying to understand the EP costs ramifications of this come the last year of the promotion for these clients. Has anyone else had a situation where a customer’s CSP promo purchase terms end date doesn’t align with the EP renewals dates? If so, what’s your understanding of how Microsoft will handle the last year’s EP renewal when we won’t have a screenshot showing a Bridge to cloud purchase with equivalent or greater value to cover the EP costs? We’re concerned that we will get billed for the customer’s EP for the last year and do not understand if we can let it lapse or not without penalties. Can anyone share their understanding in this case? Thank you in advance for any help or insight.

Microsoft Forms answers not loading in Excel online
Hi, I have this problem since yesterday:
On the answer page on Microsoft forms, the new answers are listed. When clicking on Open in Excel (online), it loads for a long time and then the ‘Sorry something went wrong’ page comes up with these details : ID de session : 9474f7fb-cde3-47d4-a215-8697d4c11d6e, ID de corrélation : 804be15c-dc45-436f-8b6b-93a4ae2d45a5
No one in my organisation can now open their answers from MS Forms in Excel.
Also, the new answers are not added automatically in the excel online document associated. It used to work and stoped working yesterday (I did not change anything or move the file).
I know the connection with the excel document is still on because when I am in the excel document and I click on modify the form, it goes to the right forms.
Do you know when this issue will be resolved and can I continue using the form while thise problem is on (meaning, the answers will eventually load in the excel)?.

Create a healthy Teams environment for your VSB using the Admin app
Welcome to the Teams Admin app
The Teams Admin app is built especially for very small business administrators. It brings top administrator tasks, controls, learning material, and support options into one place within Teams. This allows you to complete admin tasks quickly and easily without having to juggle multiple windows and lose your flow within Teams.
The app comes pre-installed and pre-pinned for very small business admins who have fewer than 25 users. If you have a larger organization and want to use the Admin app you can install it from the Teams app store.
We just released a new home page experience earlier this week which bubbles up top actions that you need to take to set up a healthy Teams environment for your business. The admin app allows you to connect your existing domain and email to Teams, manage your users (including resetting passwords), manage licenses, and adjust top Teams settings for your tenant without leaving your Teams flow.
We’re continuing to improve the Admin app and appreciate your feedback. Please give the app a try and let us know what you think!

Have a list automatically sort to group on another page in excel
Hi, I’m looking for a solution for billing for my company. Our current system: My boss writes down her work in a notebook as she completes it (ex. Client 1 Burger King 1 4/1/24). At the end of the month, I take the notebook and sort it all into the proper client group on our cover sheet. The info on the cover sheet pulls to individual invoices that we send to our clients. I am looking to have her keep track on a spreadsheet so I dont have to type everything out for her. She tried to just input them on our cover sheet but she got too nervous about messing something up, plus she found it time consuming to try and find the right client group. She’d prefer just have a spreadsheet open and write things as she goes.
This is a simplified version of what my billing looks like:
Client 1Property# of filesDateMcdonalds454/1/2024Burger King124/5/2024 57$2,565Client 2Property# of filesDateTaco Bell214/1/2024Subway144/9/2024Cookout254/14/2024Wendys654/5/2024 125$5,625Client 3Property# of filesDateHardys854/1/2024Carls Jr.144/16/2024Arbys134/5/2024 112$5,040
This is what she would want to be typing as she works:
ClientProperty# of FilesDateClient 1Burger King54/26/2024Client 3Hardys44/27/2024Client 2Taco Bell854/27/2024Client 2Cookout444/28/2024Client 3Arbys544/28/2024
My backup plan is just to filter by client, copy and paste to the coversheet. However, we have a few hundred clients so it would still be pretty time consuming. I want to figure out a way to have her information automatically end up in the correct client grouping. I hope I’m being clear enough. I’ve never posted here before but this is the first time I havent been able to figure something out 🙂
Thanks for your help!

This is a simplified version of what my billing looks like: Client 1Property# of filesDateMcdonalds454/1/2024Burger King124/5/2024 57$2,565Client 2Property# of filesDateTaco Bell214/1/2024Subway144/9/2024Cookout254/14/2024Wendys654/5/2024 125$5,625Client 3Property# of filesDateHardys854/1/2024Carls Jr.144/16/2024Arbys134/5/2024 112$5,040 This is what she would want to be typing as she works: ClientProperty# of FilesDateClient 1Burger King54/26/2024Client 3Hardys44/27/2024Client 2Taco Bell854/27/2024Client 2Cookout444/28/2024Client 3Arbys544/28/2024 My backup plan is just to filter by client, copy and paste to the coversheet. However, we have a few hundred clients so it would still be pretty time consuming. I want to figure out a way to have her information automatically end up in the correct client grouping. I hope I’m being clear enough. I’ve never posted here before but this is the first time I havent been able to figure something out 🙂 Thanks for your help! Read More

Intune Auto Upadte policy and Manually Updating Office 365 roles back to older version
Manually updating by clicking on Microsoft 365 and Office updates roles back to older version 2309.
We have Intune Microsoft 365 Apps for Windows 10 and later setup, which should upgrade to the latest (I would think?) version you do not see the latest version instead you see one version behind.
Should this be changed from “Monthly Enterprise Channel” to “Current Channel”. What if we seem to have issues with the latest updates. Some of our IT Executives are doing a manual update, thinking that by manually updating it would fix their issues what they are seeing with Co-Pilot etc.. when using Office 365. I am not sure how this is being rolled back to 2309 from the current version.
