Sharing your Copilot notebooks - Is being rolled out

on
Microsoft is rolling a new update to Copilot Notebooks that make collaboration even easier: the ability to share Copilot Notebooks with your colleagues.  Personally, I like Notebooks because they feel almost like small, personal agents I don’t have to configure. They give me a safe space to collect notes and documents and then work on them over time. With this update, that personal space can become a shared space for a selected group of  colleagues, without compromising security or permissions. I think it is also important to note that your chat and chat history within the Notebook stays private. The web rollout began in late October and will finish by December, while mobile access starts in early November and are related to the Microsoft 365 Roadmap ( ID 506851 )  You can also read more about the Copilot Notebooks experience on the Microsoft website here . If you like this update and want to stay informed about similar improvements, feel free to follow me on LinkedIn!

Note to self: Merging files before CUCM upgrade

on
I ran into an issue when upgrading (patching) a CUCM 7.1.2 tonight, and I couldn't see any readme files on cisco.com explaining the problem. However, I came across a blog post mentioning something similar.

When you download patches from cisco.com, they might be big and split into two or more files.
One way to merge them is using the "copy /B" in a dos prompt.

Example: When you have downloaded the two files "UCSInstall_UCOS_X.X.X.XXXXX-XX.sgn.iso_part1of2" and "UCSInstall_UCOS_X.X.X.XXXXX-XX.sgn.iso_part2of2", simply merge them by typing: "Copy /B UCSInstall_UCOS_X.X.X.XXXXX-XX.sgn.iso_part1of2+UCSInstall_UCOS_X.X.X.XXXXX-XX.sgn.iso_part2of2 UCSInstall_UCOS_X.X.X.XXXXX-XX.sgn.iso

The process will take a few minutes, and should complete with "one files copied" (You need to be in the folder where these files are located).

Once this is done, you put the merged file in a folder which you can connect to from the CUCM.
(Tip: I use xlite as a ftp server for this purpose :)
