New Feature in Microsoft Teams: Forwarding Messages to and from Channels

on
An upcoming Microsoft Teams feature will allow users to forward posts and reply messages to and from channels, enhancing collaboration by reducing limitations on the type of content that can be forwarded.  Change for users: Currently, users cannot forward messages to and from channels. With this new feature, users can select the three-dot More actions menu on any channel post or reply message and choose Forward. In the Forward this message dialog box, users can select any destination chat or channel, with channels now included in the people picker. Admin Impact: This feature will be enabled by default. Admins can control message forwarding for individual teams or at the tenant level using sensitivity labels control data important to the organization. If a sensitivity label is applied, message forwarding will be disabled, blocking users from sharing content outside the channel. The feature will according to the Roadmap ID 469508 be rolling out in January or February 2025.

Searching for that LineURI - Again

on
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.
