How Microsoft Purview DLP currently can help you protect confidential data in Copilot.

on
Organizations today face a difficult balancing act. Business leaders are eager to adopt tools like Microsoft Copilot to unlock productivity and innovation. Meanwhile, IT and security teams are concerned about safeguarding sensitive information, especially as AI-driven features process vast amounts of organizational data. This tension is real: enabling advanced capabilities without compromising compliance or data protection is a challenge every modern enterprise must solve. Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention (DLP) is a key solution to this problem. It provides mechanisms to prevent confidential data from being exposed or misused, even in scenarios involving AI. I want to highlight two features designed to help organizations in controlling what is being processed by Copilot. Blocking Documents Based on Sensitivity Labels One of the foundational features of Purview DLP is its ability to enforce policies based on Microsoft Information Protection sensitivity labels.

Office 2010, Going from Tech-Preview to Beta

on
#MSOFFICE

I had a few obstacles when I tried to remove the 2010 tech preview I want to share with you.

But first, let me explain to you what scenario I had. I chose to upgrade my 2007 to 2010, and I had to use the 2007 Groove client, as the 2010 groove did not seem to work. After installing the 2010, I had also added the MOC 2007R2 + Live meeting add inns.

First I tried to uninstall the the 2010 tech preview. So far so good. no problems or errors reported. But when I tried to install the 2010 beta, I was prompted with an error message, saying I could not install until all 2010 components were removed.....?

Here is a list of what I had to do make it work:
1: I repaired the 2007 installation -> no go
2: I ran Outlook, and repaired the inbox to a 2007 state -> no go
3: I removed MOC -> no go (By the way, after removing tech preview, the MOC's integration to Outlook stopped working)
4: I removed the Live meeting component -> no go
5: I removed the conference add in for outlook -> Success

The lesson in this? It's not always enough to remove the software in question, but make sure you remove or fix some or all of the plugins/software which are integrated with the product.

I am now running Office 2010 beta, and have successfully reinstalled all the components I had to remove. And BTW: The new Sharepoint client (replacing Groove) is a nice improvement!)
