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!

Missing Meet URL in Global Topology in Lync Hosting Pack v2

on
For some reason, our provisioning service does not always publish the meet url in the global topology. Strictly speaking this entry is not used to populate the users meetURL, but it is needed whenever you need to deploy changes to the topology.

Missing Meet URL's in the global topology will cause an error message in Topology Builder, and prevent you from deploying anything.

In a huge deployment, finding the missing domain/meet-url mapping can take some time. That's where this short example script comes in play.

Powershell to the rescue, once again :)
$domain = Get-CsSipDomain | select identity
foreach ($d in $domain){
$TenantName = $d.identity.tostring()
$TenOrgID = (Get-CsTenant | where name -eq "$TenantName").tenantID
$TenantSIPDomain = $TenantName
$BaseMeetingURL = "https://meet.domain.com/"
$NewMeetingURL =  $BaseMeetingURL + $TenantSIPDomain
$URLEntry = New-CsSimpleUrlEntry -Url $NewMeetingURL
Write-Host "$URLEntry" -ForegroundColor darkgreen
$SimpleURL = New-CsSimpleUrl -Component "meet" -Domain $TenantSIPDomain -SimpleUrl $URLEntry -ActiveUrl $NewMeetingURL
Write-Host "$SimpleURL" -ForegroundColor yellow
Set-CsSimpleUrlConfiguration –identity global -SimpleUrl @{add=$SimpleURL} -Verbose -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue|Out-Null
}
Be aware you might have adjust the script to match your environment. And I should probably mention we've chosen to name our tenants the same as their sip addresses ;)
