New Copilot Updates for Outlook Scheduling, Word Agent Mode, and PowerPoint Agent Mode

on
Microsoft has announced Copilot enhancements across Outlook, Word, and PowerPoint that improve scheduling, document creation, and presentation building. Here is a summary of some of the features I think can come in handy. Be aware that timelines may change as deployments progress, some of these have already been pushed back a couple of months. All of the following features requires a Microsoft 365 Copilot license, and will be enabled by default for users with such a license. Automatic rescheduling of 1:1 meetings Automatic rescheduling of flexible 1:1 meetings and personal events in Outlook with Copilot, helping users resolve conflicts with minimal manual effort is coming soon.

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.
