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!

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
