Coming soon: Copilot Studio Agent Report Template

on
Copilot Studio Agent Report Template Microsoft is rolling out a new feature in Viva Insights: the Copilot Studio agent report template. This Microsoft Power BI template will be available in public preview starting mid-April 2025, and provides an aggregated view of Microsoft Copilot Studio agent adoption and impact across the organization over time, with the flexibility to explore details for specific agents. This feature will bring valuable insights into the usage of agents, making it easier for organizations to make informed adjustments and optimize their performance. The Copilot Studio agent report covers usage and impact metrics for agents built using Copilot Studio that are published outside of Microsoft 365 Copilot or Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat, and excludes agents that enhance Microsoft 365 Copilot and autonomous agents.

Signing scripts, from now on

on
During the Lyncconf13, I was lucky enough to win a certificate from digicert in give away competition from the The UC Architects. It didn't take long to decide what to do with the gift. I decided to get a code signing certificate for my online scripts.

Now, you should be able to run the scripts directly by downloading them to your labs, without tampering with the script, it's security settings or your power shell security setting.

A benefit for me, is to see if the script has been tampered with if it does not work on a tested system. I decided to sign all my backup scripts, and I will also sign every new script I post on my blog.

As a side note: I was wondering if signing a lot of certificates was going to take a long time. I turned to power shell  and scripted it. What else "could" I do? It turned out to be quite easy, and done in a few minutes (writing the code, signing took seconds)


param ([Parameter(Mandatory=$true)][string]$folder,[string]$certvalue)

cd $folder

$cert = @(gci cert:\currentuser\my -codesigning)[$certvalue]
foreach ($scripts in (Get-ChildItem)){
Set-AuthenticodeSignature $scripts $cert}

All my backup scripts have been updated, so if you download these scripts now, they will be signed. (If your machine trusts Digicert, you should be in good shape.)
