Query regarding linking Work Account with Personal Account
Hey there! So my question is very simple and before I ask it, I'll just summarize everything. I'm a Microsoft Learn Student Ambassador and I've been provided an email from MLSA team. Now that email is considered to be a work account. I'll lose access to that email when my MLSA tenure ends which is around one year from now onwards. Now I've another personal outlook account on which I've a certification. I wanted to show my personal account certifications on my work account as data on the work account is considered as a progress in the MLSA tenure. So my question is when MLSA tenure ends and my email gets shut down automatically will I be able to recover the certifications and all the data on my personal account? Thanks!7Views0likes0CommentsLost in Employment Verification
Long story short: Our app needs to connect to Bing Ads API via OAuth. The OAuth UI tells us to get verified as a publisher. We follow the steps to do that and I find myself in some strange situation where at Employment Verification step there is no way to proceed nor any way to get any answers. It's not even clear to me if we really need to do this verification, since the app seems to work fine without. We've provided a domain invoice (Cloudflare) including: Domain name Exact company name My name Exact company address Dated within 12 months I have used "Fix Now" (exhausted my goes at that), and I've then been back and forth with a real person (who seems to only send half filled out email templates) for the past weeks too. The last time I tried to do the ultimate helpful email with all the info laid out in the most obvious and clear way possible with 3 email attachments with all the requested info and more, I wait a week and I get back: Issues with employment verification rejection a... - TrackingID#2501140040006597 Anjali S 04:49 (4 hours ago) to me Dear , This application is insufficient for the requirements of the program. Thank you, Vetting Operations Support I never received any further information or assistance in any of the prior emails, I'm 100% in the dark. Can anyone help me with these questions? Do I need to be a verified publisher for my use case? I just don't want an "unverified" to show on OAuth consent screen. What exactly is employment verification and what is the magic formula to get past this step. Why can a $3.3T market cap company not manage to provide basic customer service and communication. Thanks for reading and really hope I can get some help. John.79Views0likes5CommentsMeet the Microsoft Learn experts

Azure Key Vault is a cloud service that helps secure cryptographic keys, secrets (such as API keys, passwords, certificates), and manage encryption keys for cloud applications. It provides a centralized, secure storage mechanism that enables fine-grained access control and compliance with security best practices. Key features of Azure Key Vault include: Secure Secret Storage: Protects sensitive application data by storing them in a secure vault, reducing exposure risks. Access Control with Azure AD: Uses Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) authentication to control access, ensuring only authorized applications and users can retrieve secrets. Automated Key Rotation: Supports automatic rotation of keys and certificates, minimizing security risks from stale credentials. Encryption Key Management: Allows applications to use Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) or software-based keys for encrypting and decrypting data. Logging and Monitoring: Integrates with Azure Monitor and Microsoft Defender for Cloud to track usage and detect anomalies. By using Azure Key Vault, organizations can enhance security, reduce the need for embedding secrets in code, and simplify the management of cryptographic assets across their cloud environments.3Views0likes0CommentsOptimizing Microsoft Learn Experiences on the IdeaPad Flex 5 Gen 8 Laptop
Hello Microsoft Learn Community, I recently acquired the IdeaPad Flex 5 Gen 8 Laptop, equipped with an AMD Ryzenâ„¢ 5 7530U processor, 16 GB of LPDDR4x memory, and a 512 GB SSD. Its 360-degree hinge and touch-enabled WUXGA display have been particularly beneficial for interactive learning sessions. While navigating Microsoft Learn's interactive modules, the laptop's performance has been commendable. The touch functionality enhances the experience, especially during coding exercises and interactive labs. However, I've observed that certain high-resolution videos and complex simulations occasionally cause minor lags. I am reaching out to gather insights from fellow community members: Performance Optimization: Are there specific settings or configurations within Microsoft Learn that can enhance performance on devices like the IdeaPad Flex 5 Gen 8? Resource Management: Would upgrading to a higher RAM variant or adjusting system settings provide a smoother experience during resource-intensive modules? Browser Compatibility: Have users noticed performance differences between browsers (e.g., Edge, Chrome) when accessing Microsoft Learn on similar hardware? Additionally, I came across Microsoft's initiative of Learning Rooms, which offer collaborative environments guided by experts. Has anyone utilized these rooms on the Ideapad Flex 5 Gen 8 Laptop? I'm curious about the device's compatibility and performance in such settings. Looking forward to your experiences and recommendations.

Over consumption is Azure Kubernetes services can lead to unnecessary costs and resource wastage if you are not leverage properly. here are some key things to avoid it. 1.Right size your cluster: a. Optimise Node pools: use appropriate VM size for worker nodes based on work load requirements. do not go more than what is required. b.Use Autoscaling feature to scale nodes up/down c.Set requests & Limits: define CPU and memory requets/lmits for pods to prevent over allocation. 2.Optimise workload scaling 3.Enable Monitoring to see the optimise costs 4.Use managed AKS instead of Shared AKS 5.Use azure files or managed disk efficiently to optimise the storage 6.Cleanup unused resources. delete idle work loads, unused namespaces.16Views0likes0CommentsHelp with SharePoint connection issues
Hello, Quite suddenly, and now frequently, our spreadsheets on SharePoint are having difficulty saving. This was only a rare occurrence previously, but now happens to us regularly. It is so bad that we will have to stop using SharePoint if we can't figure out why it is doing this. Can anyone provide some advice as to what could be going on? We get errors saying we can't connect to the server and that it could be our internet connection. I highly doubt it's our internet connection as it is happening on many different connections all of which don't have problems connecting to other things. Do we have too much saved on our SharePoint perhaps?15Views0likes0CommentsSetting Authorization Cookie in .Net 7 core
Hi, I was working with a web application where i have already implemented methods to set the authorization cookie in the startup of the project. Recently I came across implementing a power BI dashboard in my application Since the power BI has some strict content security policies which only allows the Microsoft related domains like teams and share point to implement the reports ,it blocked the report being rendered in my app thus i switched to the embed API of power Bi, While configuring the power BI settings in the startup The power BI also configured some Auth Cookies .Since my application already implements the auth cookies it conflicted with the existing implementation causing Build errors. I Tried setting the cookies in the power BI configuration and then added the required cookie settings of my application to the cookie being set in the power BI configuration . But it still shows no Use ,My application wont recognize the claims and cookies being set in the power BI configuration thus throwing error while logging into the Application9Views0likes0CommentsVerification issue with Microsoft Partner account - Employment Verification status "Rejected"

Best practices for data governance in Azure start with a unified strategy that leverages Microsoft Purview for data cataloging, classification, and lineage tracking. Purview enables organizations to gain end-to-end visibility across their data estate, even in hybrid and multi-cloud environments. Azure Policy plays a crucial role in enforcing governance by defining compliance rules that automatically apply across subscriptions and services. Combining it with Azure Blueprints can help ensure that governance frameworks are consistently deployed at scale. For enhanced security, integrating Microsoft Defender for Cloud allows continuous monitoring and risk assessment of data assets. Additionally, organizations should implement role-based access control (RBAC) and encryption mechanisms to safeguard sensitive information. One challenge in multi-cloud governance is achieving real-time data classification and policy enforcement. Has anyone successfully extended Purview’s capabilities to non-Azure environments, such as AWS or GCP?Solved123Views0likes1CommentMac - Outlook : Attaching files, showing Date Added, not Date Modified!
Dear Techcommunity.Microsoft, Had to get a new MacBook Pro (OS Monterey 12.2.1), and up-to-date Microsoft. When I go to attach a file (in Outlook for Mac version 16.59), it shows the files with "Date Added" rather than "Date Modified". I don't care 'when' I created them, I just want to know I am attaching the correct one, I.E. the one I probably had just finished working on. In Finder, the files DO show "Date Modified". I'm sure it's probably something simple - but I have no idea. Please be gentle, e.g. 1, 2, 3 type instructions - I'm no techie! Do hope someone can help.

I am wanting to add praise relating to our company values, so I would ideally like to add custom badges for team members to select when praising someone.

Hello, I have created both Standard Planner and Planner Premium. When using Power Automate to list tasks, it only retrieves tasks from Standard Planner but not from Planner Premium. I tried using the Microsoft Graph API /planner/plans/{planId}/tasks, but it does not return tasks from Planner Premium. I also checked app permissions in Azure AD and tested the API in Postman and Power Automate, but it still does not work. These methods have been either too complex or have not given any results. Is there any alternative way to list tasks from Planner Premium? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks124Views1like2Comments
