Here are three copilot updates coming our way, and this is what to make of them

Changes aimed at streamline workflows: As Microsoft continues to evolve its AI-powered productivity suite, three significant updates are rolling out across Microsoft 365 in June and July 2025. These changes are designed to streamline workflows, enhance research capabilities, and bring generative AI closer to users in their daily apps.

Searching for that LineURI - Again

This is a script I have not used for a while, and when I needed it recently I discovered it would not run properly on a Lync 2013 server. I decided to rebuild the script to adapt to Powershell v3 and Lync 2013.

It is quite simple. use the script to search for a part of a complete LineURI and see where the pattern is in use. The longer the pattern you use in your search, the more exact is the result.

As an update, the script has been signed to be run on any system, and a more appropriate snippet with explanation has been added. And again, this has been added to the Technet Gallery. http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/Search-for-that-LineURI-814ac281

The script has not been tested on large deployments, so feedback and bug reports are really appreciated.
