“Bring your AI to work” is here: Microsoft edition - What Multiple Account Access to Copilot means

on
Multiple Account Access to Copilot On October 1. 2025 Microsoft released a blog post explaining how employees now can use Copilot from their personal 365 plans to work on organizational data. This is of course, an extension of the already existing "Multi account" feature that was released for corporate accounts a "couple of months" ago. In other words, “bring your own Copilot” is now a real thing in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and OneNote on desktop and mobile, with enterprise protections intact. “Bring your AI to work” is an important topic, and banning AI altogether might not be the answer. Whether sanctioned or shadow, AI has already entered everyday knowledge work. Microsoft’s new multi‑account access offers a safer path where employees can use Copilot from their personal Microsoft 365 subscriptions on work files, while the file’s access, auditing, and compliance still flow through the work identity and tenant.

Lync 2013 Documentation script

on
I have been looking for a good way to document my Lync environment in a way others can understand what has been done to the system. I have not been able to find a solution to suit my needs, and decided to create a new script for my self.

I have stumbled upon these great tools from "Empty Message" at his site: http://emptymessage.com/?p=149, but it didn't quite get all the settings and polices I wanted to incorporate.

My new script is configures to run almost all of the different get-commands I thought useful. some might find it over the top, but I find it very useful when I need to troubleshoot something later. And if I find polices or settings have been changed, it is easy to compare the now and then, and correct erroneous configurations.

I am not going to bore you with the details of how the script is built. And I'll just go over the obvious:

The script creates a folder at c:\LyncDoc\ and will use this as a base for all the out put.
The complete file set should look something like this:

8 HTML files (I have tried to make logical files for separate sections)
7 XML files containing actual configuration backup
1 bak fil for the LIS set
1 zipfile as a result of export-csconfiguration
1 zipfile with all the other files inside

- The Script must be run on a computer with Lync PS module available, and it must be able to reach the backend databases.
- The script has only been tested in a single site, single pool topology.
- Script has been signed for the ease of use.
- As before, run this only in your labs at you own risk and caution.

And finally, The script can be found at the Technet Gallery: http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/lync/Document-you-Lync-2013-154f4050
