Enable Copilot for Microsoft 365 FAST
Roll out Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365 at scale in three quick steps. See the methods for each to efficiently enable Copilot services:
- Optimize Search with data controls in place to limit exposure of information in search.
- Update Your Apps—both on desktop and mobile—so they are ready for integrated Copilot experiences.
- Grant Access to Copilot services quickly to large groups in your organization via Microsoft Entra controls.
We're also introducing a new capability with Restricted SharePoint Search, which enables SharePoint administrators to define the sites where every user in the organization is allowed to files and data using search, without impacting access to sites and files for people working in sites, which are not allowed for everyone to search.
With Copilot for Microsoft 365 services in place, track adoption and impact, and see how different groups in your organization are benefitting from Copilot services with the Microsoft Copilot Dashboard powered by Viva Insights. Now, even if you don't currently own Viva Insights, there is an offer for Microsoft Copilot customers to get these services included with your Copilot subscription: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/blog/2024/04/11/enabling-your-ai-transformation-journey-with-microsoft-viva/

AI adoption – why would anyone think it’s not going to cost us at least some jobs?
I was trying to imagine how would “AI” adoption go, and, it seems, there is only one possible outcome in the long term. “AI” is there to either compliment human workers or to replace them, but, ultimately, it’s there to increase productivity in those areas where it can be adopted. In a very limited number… Read More »

Apply critical update for Azure Stack HCI VMs to maintain Azure verification
Azure verification for VMs on Azure Stack HCI makes it possible for Azure-exclusive benefits to work outside of the cloud and in on-premises and edge environments. These benefits include Azure Virtual Desktop for Azure Stack HCI, Windows Server Datacenter: Azure Edition, Extended Security Updates (ESUs) for SQL and Windows Server Virtual Machines (VMs) on Azure Stack HCI, and Azure Policy guest configuration. To keep these workloads continuing to function, periodic updates are required to maintain their security and functionality.
Update Azure Stack HCI VMs
Recently, Microsoft rolled out critical updates for Azure verification for VMs on Azure Stack HCI, and we strongly recommend current users to apply these latest cumulative updates for continued, seamless functionality of your Azure benefits on Azure Stack HCI VMs. The latest VM updates are as follows:
- Azure Virtual Desktop for Azure Stack HCI
- Windows Server Datacenter: Azure Edition
- Windows Server 2022, 4B update (KB5036909)
- Extended Security Updates (ESUs) on Azure Stack HCI
- Windows Server 2008, 2024.2B SSU KB5034867
- Windows Server 2008 R2, 2024.2B SSU KB5034866
- Windows Server 2012, 2024.4B SSU KB5037022
- Windows Server 2012 R2, 2024.4B SSU KB5037021
- For full details, see Latest Servicing Stack Updates
Azure Stack HCI VMs can be updated using a variety of methods including Windows Update, Azure Update Manager, Windows Server Update Services, or System Center Virtual Machine Manager. Please note that not all OSes are supported with Azure Update Manager, see Azure Update Manager support matrix.
We recommend that these VMs updates be completed by June 17, 2024 to avoid possible impact to your current workloads and licensing of these Azure benefits. If you do not update your Azure Stack HCI VMs to the latest version as noted above, you may see issues with the Azure verification and licensing of Azure Stack HCI VMs. Please update the VMs at that time and reach out to Microsoft Support if there are further questions or issues.
This update is not critical if you are not using the Azure benefits enabled by Azure verification of Azure Stack HCI VMs.
Update Azure Stack HCI Azure Marketplace VM Images
If you’re using Azure Marketplace VM images, we also recommend updating pre-existing Azure Marketplace VM images on your Azure Stack HCI cluster to the latest versions. The updated VM images are available now on Azure Marketplace and for update in the Azure Portal.
More Information
For full details on updates, please see Azure verification for VMs - Azure Stack HCI.
For more information regarding why this update is recommended, please review this Tech Community blog for more details on updates to Azure verification.

Vector Search Optimization via KMeans, Voronoi Cells and Inverted File Index (aka “Cell-Probing”)
In a previous article I already mentioned how vectors can be easily stored in Azure SQL already and how to calculate dot product and cosine distance using just T-SQL. In this article I will show how to improve the performance in vector search by using a technique that has many name but is really based on something very well know already: KMeans Clustering.

Commercial preview of Microsoft Office LTSC 2024 is now available
We are pleased to announce that the commercial preview of Microsoft Office LTSC 2024 is now available for both Windows and Mac. Office LTSC is built for specialized use cases that require a long-term servicing channel such as regulated devices that cannot accept feature updates for years at a time, manufacturing process control devices that are not connected to the internet, or medical testing equipment running embedded apps that must stay locked in time.
Office LTSC 2024 will include features from past Office releases as well as a subset of new features already available in Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise. As we announced in March, Office LTSC will be supported for five years under the Fixed Lifecycle Policy, in parallel with Windows 11 LTSC, which will also launch later this year. And because we know that many customers deploy Office LTSC on only a subset of their devices, we will continue to support the deployment of both Office LTSC and Microsoft 365 Apps to different machines within the same organization using a common set of deployment tools: Click-to-Run on Windows and Apple Package format (pkg) on Mac, just like Office LTSC 2021.
Microsoft 365 continues to deliver the most secure, productive, and cost-effective Office experience, and positions customers to unlock the transformative power of AI with Microsoft Copilot. And with device-based licensing and extended offline access, Microsoft 365 offers deployment options for scenarios like computer labs and submarines that require a solution other than a user-based, always-online service. However, Office LTSC 2024 will be a valuable upgrade for customers who need to keep their Office apps on-premises.
The following products are available as part of this preview program:
- Microsoft Office LTSC Professional Plus 2024 (includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote, and Access)
- Microsoft Office LTSC Standard for Mac 2024 (includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and OneNote)
- Microsoft Project Professional 2024
- Microsoft Visio Professional 2024
For instructions on how to install and activate the previews of Office LTSC, Project, and Visio on a Windows device, visit Install Office LTSC Preview.
For instructions on how to install and activate the Office LTSC for Mac Preview, visit Overview of Office LTSC for Mac Preview.

Enforce least privilege for Entra ID Company Branding with the new Organizational Branding role
Hello friends,
I’m pleased to announce General Availability (GA) of the Organizational Branding role for Microsoft Entra ID Company Branding.
This new role is part of our ongoing efforts to implement Zero Trust network access by enforcing the principle of least privilege for users when customizing their authentication user experience (UX) via Entra ID Company Branding.
Previously, users wanting to configure Entra ID Company Branding required the Global Admin role. This role, though, has sweeping privileges beyond what’s necessary for configuring Entra ID Company Branding.
The new Organizational Branding role limits its privileges to the configuration of Entra ID Company Branding, significantly improving security and reducing the attack surface associated with its configuration.
To assign the role to a user, follow these steps:
1. Log on to Microsoft Entra ID and select Users.
2. Select and open the user to assign the Organizational Branding role.
3. Select Assigned roles and then Add assignments.
4. Select the Organizational Branding Administrator role and assign it to the user.
Once the settings are applied, the user will be able to configure the authentication UX via Entra ID Company Branding.
