Copilot Wave two "Memory and Personalization" requires: Enhanced Personalization

New admin control: Enhanced Personalization Control With the announcement of Copilot wave two, some may have noticed one of the new features called "Memory and Personalization". For this feature to work, copilot must learn and store some of the user's personal information. How else will it understand the user, and actually improve on the responses given over time. Some are welcoming this new feature, as competitors have already rolled out similar functionality, but others might be a bit hesitant to have this information stored.

Important certificate note to self

on
I've been having issues on a server, where I was supposed to create a secure channel (tls) to a remote server for synchronizing the exchange free/busy information on users. I long suspected it to be certificate related, but I always ended up by turning ssl of (thus running unencrypted). I thought I had it all done right, when importing the root certificate of the CA to the trusted root. But it never solved my problem. 

Thanks to my OCS course, a bright light dawned on me. The reason why the TLS failed could be several. First of all, if you are running the sync service as a service on the server, the certificate must be in the trusted root of the computer, not the administrator (or other account which you are installing as). Second, if the service is set up to "run as" a separate user. It is a good idea to log on as that particular user, and import the certificate as that user. Quite simple when you think about it, but not always intuitive..... :P
