New Copilot Updates for Outlook Scheduling, Word Agent Mode, and PowerPoint Agent Mode

on
Microsoft has announced Copilot enhancements across Outlook, Word, and PowerPoint that improve scheduling, document creation, and presentation building. Here is a summary of some of the features I think can come in handy. Be aware that timelines may change as deployments progress, some of these have already been pushed back a couple of months. All of the following features requires a Microsoft 365 Copilot license, and will be enabled by default for users with such a license. Automatic rescheduling of 1:1 meetings Automatic rescheduling of flexible 1:1 meetings and personal events in Outlook with Copilot, helping users resolve conflicts with minimal manual effort is coming soon. This will be in addition to the already released auto rescheduling of meeting rooms. Originally this feature was planned for mid‑November 2025 to mid‑January 2026, but is now hopefully coming between to mid‑February 2026 and the end of February 2026.

Batteling the Mediation server (or; maybe it was microsoft after all) Part two

Thank you, whoever you are. We had the same problem. The OCS Mediaton server does not handle two interfaces on the same interface. I just hope it can handle separate interfaces when the OCS and CUCM reside on different subnets :)

With this error out of the way, I received another error when calling: Error 404. reading the logs of the client, helped me on the way to solve this final obstacle. This error was related to the configuration of the Mediation server. I had configured the "next hop" with a FQDN. When I changed this to the IP-address of the CUCM, everything worked like a charm :)

I now have a fully operational MOCS installation, integrated with CUCM. You can call from MOCS to CUCM or to the PSTN. You can also call the other way around. We have call control enabled through a Presence server, and are only awaiting cross platform status messages in the clients (We can't federate as these servers are installed in the same domain).
