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. Copilot Overview Page Refresh in Microsoft 365 Admin Center First off is the redesigned landing page for Copilot in the Microsoft 365 Admin Center (MAC), giving admins an at-a-glance view of the Copilot journey across Chat, Agents, and M365 Copilot. This update  centralizes critical insights and success metrics, helping organizations accelerate adoption and maintain security posture. The refreshed page introduces success metrics such as Chat active users, assisted hours for licensed users, and satisfaction rate. Each Copilot pillar now includes multi‑...

get-csdocumentation v 2_4 released

on
After running the get-csdocumentation scripts on a couple of new Skype for Business deployments, I wanted to do some simple changes. It's basically the same script, but I have added a few functions to clean up the code and add some functionality.

Here are the highlights of the new version:

  • Cleanup: Better code for HTML generation
  • Cleanup: Better IP address documentation
  • Cleanup: Better Service dump (ignoring blank services)
  • New feature: Adding software version on servers the script can connect to (Requires WinRM, firewall and rigths on target computer), can take some time
  • New feature: Send documentation in email on complete


Cleanup: Better code for HTML generation

I discovered a way to create the required HTML headers through a function. Saved me a lot of code, and makes it easier to change layout by editing only one line of code.

Cleanup: Better IP address documentation
Previous versions of my script dumped all machines in one table. This version should create one table pr pool. It will be easier to identify the server/pool connection:


Cleanup: Better Service dump (ignoring blank services)
Again, moving code to functions, and using smarter discovery to list configured services. Skipping empty roles.

New feature: Adding software version on servers the script can connect to (Requires WinRM, firewall and rigths on target computer), can take some time
This is a feature I have been looking into for a while, not quite sure how to solve (potential error handling and warnings as servers are unavailable). But now I think I have found how to at least try to get the information, without causing a lot of blood red text. 
This feature will only work as mentioned, where WinRM is available with the correct credentials for the user running the script, and firewall ports are open. Here is an example of how it could look. (This is added to a new file in the documentation set)


This feature added some delay to the script, where it could seem like nothing is happening. I have added an indication of the remote connection to the script output.

New feature: Send documentation in email on complete
A requested feature from many users: A way to automatically send the gathered documentation in a mail. I have simply reused the code from the backup-sfb script, and the script can now send an email looking like this:


The script was uploaded to Thechnet Gallery, and can be downloaded from here.
