Two Major Admin Control Updates for Copilot and Agent Management

on
At Ignite Microsoft showcased and talked about two new admin controls for Copilot and Agents. These controls drew a significant amount of attention for their potential to simplify management and strengthen governance across Copilot experiences and AI agents. These capabilities are now emerging in preview, offering administrators early access to improved insights, expanded control surfaces, and more secure operational foundations.

Lync Backup Script 2013 v 3_2

on
I have just uploaded a new version of the Lync 2013 Backup script. And I have called it V3.2

It contains a few bugfixes, and what I would like to call enhancements.

Bugfix: Script now delete the temporary file share I create for enterprise backup

-KeepABS: A new parameter if you would like to also backup your ABFiles directory from the file-share. I have excluded this folder in the default backup, as I would much more like to recreate the fresh files with "update-csaddressbook" instead.

-backupto: Another new parameter to let you decide where you want the backup to be stored.
Very handy if you run this as a scheduled task, and don't want your c drive to fill up (Default is c:\Lync Backup)

Once again, thank you for your encouragements and support. I would have been able to fix/catch all of this if I didn't get feedback from all of you.
