New Feature in Microsoft Teams: Forwarding Messages to and from Channels

on
An upcoming Microsoft Teams feature will allow users to forward posts and reply messages to and from channels, enhancing collaboration by reducing limitations on the type of content that can be forwarded.  Change for users: Currently, users cannot forward messages to and from channels. With this new feature, users can select the three-dot More actions menu on any channel post or reply message and choose Forward. In the Forward this message dialog box, users can select any destination chat or channel, with channels now included in the people picker. Admin Impact: This feature will be enabled by default. Admins can control message forwarding for individual teams or at the tenant level using sensitivity labels control data important to the organization. If a sensitivity label is applied, message forwarding will be disabled, blocking users from sharing content outside the channel. The feature will according to the Roadmap ID 469508 be rolling out in January or February 2025.

OCS installation error

on
Here is a quick note on a problem I experienced today. I was installing OCS for a customer (with creative passwords), and could not complete the activation of a server in a pool.

The error message was very "informative": 0xC3EC796C Could not activate server in pool, check log files.........

Well here is the problem. OCS installation does not like passwords with special characters. I came up with a very simple password, and the problem was solved.
