Entra External ID - password reset flow
Hello, We have started to implement Entra External ID and have reached a dead-end when it comes to password reset initiated by an external admin. The process we are trying to support: The use signs up in our client (website) The user should then automatically be generated in Entra External ID At the end of the registration, the user receives an email from Entra External ID, with a password reset link The user resets the password and is redirected back to our client -> fully logged in The only flow we are able to get to work now, is that the user sets their own password by pressing the "Forgotten password" button in the login screen in Entra External ID, but this is not going to work for us. The user should not know that they are in a different site, and for the login to be as seamless as possible, the user should just receive a password reset link in an email. It looks like this might work in Azure B2C, but we have already starting implementing Entra External ID, so we would hope and expect it to work here as well. Any help on how to solve this for Entra External ID would be highly appreciated.
Word - Table issues
I have a Word template that’s used by multiple people each week. It contains standard formatting elements that users can fill out or delete as needed, including an optional table element. Users typically have tracked changes turned on from the start, and the documents go through several rounds of review by different people before being finalized. We're using M365, drafts are all saved as .docx between users, and they should be starting from a clean template every time. Recently, some team members have encountered a serious issue that I have been unable to recreate on my own: - When they try to edit the table (especially near the end of the review process), the entire table and all content after it deletes itself (can't undo this). - If they try to accept the changes for the table or “Accept All Changes” in the document, Word crashes completely. There’s no unusual formatting or macros in use, and nothing obvious stands out as a cause. We've only started experiencing this in the last few months, and there have been no changes to the templates or to our process. My current suspicion is that tracked changes and/or multiple users editing over time might be introducing corruption into the table. Has anyone else run into this behavior? Any insight into what might cause it or how to prevent it would be greatly appreciated[Share] AZD-for-beginners

One should learn because, Microsoft is deep in the AI race right now — investing heavily, pushing into new product categories, expanding infrastructure, and building tools for both developers and end-users. Here’s a detailed snapshot of where Microsoft is on AI in late-2025, highlighting what they’ve achieved, what they’re working on, what challenges they face, and what it means for users/organizations 1.AI is Now the Core of Microsoft’s Strategy Microsoft isn’t treating AI as an add-on — it’s embedded into everything: Windows Copilot: AI built directly into the OS. Microsoft 365 Copilot: Automates Office apps like Word, Excel, Outlook, and Teams. Azure AI Services: Enterprise-grade infrastructure to build, deploy, and scale AI securely. GitHub Copilot & Azure DevOps: AI-driven development and deployment. Learning AI in Microsoft’s stack means you’re aligning with their long-term direction — it’s where every Microsoft product is headed. 2.Unified Ecosystem for Building & Deploying AI When you learn Microsoft AI, you get exposure to a connected environment that simplifies the AI lifecycle: Stage Microsoft Tools/Platforms Data Ingestion Azure Data Factory, Synapse, Fabric Model Training Azure Machine Learning, Custom Models, Azure AI Foundry Orchestration Azure AI Studio, Logic Apps, Power Automate Deployment Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), Azure Functions Integration Power Platform, Copilot Studio, Microsoft Graph API You can move from “idea -prototype - enterprise-scale app” without leaving the Microsoft ecosystem. 3.Enterprise-Grade Security & Compliance Microsoft has the most trusted AI compliance posture among hyperscalers: 1000+ security and compliance certifications Responsible AI framework (human oversight, privacy, transparency) Seamless Azure AD / Entra ID integration for secure access If you work with enterprise or gov customers, this is critical — they already rely on Microsoft’s compliance backbone. 4.Massive Career & Business Demand According to recent LinkedIn and IDC reports: 80% of Fortune 500 companies use Azure AI services. “AI + Microsoft Cloud” roles (like AI Engineer, M365 Copilot Admin, Azure AI Specialist) are growing 3x faster than traditional cloud roles. Microsoft certifications (e.g., AI-102, DP-100, AI-900) are among the top-requested by employers. Learning Microsoft AI directly translates to employability and consulting value. 5.Democratized AI — Even for Non-Coders Not everyone needs to be a data scientist: Copilot Studio (Power Platform) → Build custom copilots using natural language. Azure AI Foundry → Build intelligent agents visually. Fabric AI Integration → Analyze data and auto-generate insights in Power BI. Microsoft’s goal is to make AI “as easy as Excel” — so business users can innovate too. 6.Future-Proof Skillset Microsoft is working closely with OpenAI and others to lead in: Agentic AI (autonomous reasoning agents) Multimodal AI (text, image, voice) Edge + Cloud AI (Windows + Azure hybrid AI) Responsible AI governance tools By learning Microsoft AI now, you’re future-proofing yourself for this next generation of AI-native applications.AKS vs Azure Web App – When to Choose Which?
Criteria Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) Azure Web App ( App Service ) Use Case Microservices, complex distributed apps, container orchestration Simple web apps, APIs, or monolithic workloads Scalability Advanced autoscaling at container/pod level Built-in autoscale for instances Control Full control over networking, security, and runtime Managed platform, limited infrastructure control Complexity Requires Kubernetes expertise Easy to set up and manage CI/CD ntegrates with Azure DevOps/GitHub Actions, flexible pipelines Native CI/CD support with minimal setup Cost Pay for cluster nodes and infra (can be higher for small workloads) Pay per app plan (simpler, often cheaper for small apps) Best For Large-scale, containerized enterprise apps Quick deployments, small-to-medium web apps, APIs Examples Banking microservices, AI inference workloads, enterprise SaaS Company website, REST API, internal dashboardsGitHub Administrator Blueprinting Opportunity

Applied Skills : Deploy and configure Azure monitor issues
Has anyone managed to pass this applied skills? I’ve already taken it twice and I can’t complete 3 tasks. First, it asks to configure file and configuration tracking for a web app in Change Analysis (classic), which is no longer available. Second, it asks to enable Insights on a VM, but the user doesn’t have the permissions to do it, and they can’t be added. Third, it asks to create a connection test between two VMs, but the user isn’t authorized to add the Network Watcher extension to the Linux VM. Both times I scored 69% (75% needed) and it marked those tasks as not completed.
