GMSA Password length
Hi All, Hope you are doing well! Do we have any official document from Microsoft that tells how many characters would be used for a GMSA account password? I understand that 240-byte, randomly generated passwords will be used; however, I would like to understand how many characters would be used in 240 bytes. Thank you in advance! Regards, Sajin P S
Excel vba
I am trying to move rows containing "Click to chat" from an Excel sheet to a new sheet and delete the blank rows. The code below is giving me an error to debug, and the line below in bold is highlighted. I don't know what to do. Can you assist? Sub MoveClickToChatRows() Dim wsSource As Worksheet Dim wsTarget As Worksheet Dim lastRow As Long Dim i As Long Dim targetRow As Long Set wsSource = ActiveSheet Set wsTarget = Sheets.Add wsTarget.Name = "Click_to_Chat" lastRow = wsSource.Cells(wsSource.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row targetRow = 1 ' Copy header wsSource.Rows(1).Copy wsTarget.Rows(1) targetRow = 2 For i = lastRow To 2 Step -1 If InStr(1, wsSource.Rows(i).Text, "Click to chat", vbTextCompare) > 0 Then wsSource.Rows(i).Copy wsTarget.Rows(targetRow) wsSource.Rows(i).Delete targetRow = targetRow + 1 End If Next i End SubMSLE AI Bootcamps
Greetings, I am wondering if anyone here has delivered training geared or related to MSLE AI Bootcamps specifically the Copilot Prompt-a-thon and Generative AI for Teaching. I'd like to know the experience to expect from such a delivery and an estimated preparation time, labs, etc. For reference, let's say you have to deliver Microsoft Copilot Prompt-a-thon Workshop for Higher Education Leaders for a client in person. Thank you for your inputs !

findMeeting REST API does not support shared mailbox?
I'm building a bot using the MS Outlook Calendar REST APIs. I have a case where my user who is an executive assistant wants to create a meeting in the delegate mailbox she/he have access to. We are currently using findMeeting API to fetch the available for a set of users and this works perfectly for the logged in user. But, when we try to access the shared mailbox calendar using this API, it shows unsupported scenario. We do have Calendars.Shared .Read permissions. /me/findMeeting - works /user/{sharedmailboxEmailId}/findMeeting - gives Unsupported Scenario error. Is this functionality not working? Couldn't find any document mentioning this. Alternative API getSchedule doesn't work in our case. Thanks in Advance!Azure For Students Subscriptions - "Your email domain is not currently registered with us"
Hello, I am a teacher at a vocational school and we are experiencing a recurring issue with Azure for Students academic verification, affecting multiple students at the same time. Our school setup (for context) Our institution is structured as follows: We have a student domain that is registered and whitelisted with Microsoft as an academic domain, for example: email address removed for privacy reasons We also have a separate organisational domain used for staff and business operations, for example: email address removed for privacy reasons Students are instructed to: Sign in to Azure using their personal Microsoft account (typically Outlook/Hotmail) Use their school email address only for academic verification during the Azure for Students sign-up flow This setup has worked historically, but we are now seeing repeated failures. The issue we are seeing Students complete CAPTCHA and email verification successfully. The process then fails with: “Sorry, your academic status could not be verified.” or similar This happens even when: Students use a private/incognito browser session VPNs and ad blockers are disabled Only one Microsoft account is signed in No account switching occurs during the flow The issue affects multiple students from the same institution, often within the same timeframe. Because Azure for Students verification appears to allow only one attempt, students who fail once are effectively blocked and end up in a support loop. Observations Based on volume and timing, this does not appear to be individual user error. We suspect one or more of the following: A backend verification or account-linking issue An institutional configuration mismatch that is not clearly surfaced A generic or outdated error message that does not accurately reflect the real cause of failure At this point, I am not fully convinced that the error message always represents a true eligibility problem. What we are hoping to learn Are other schools using a similar setup (personal Microsoft account + separate student email domain for verification)? Are there known best practices or preferred configurations for institutions with multiple domains? Is there guidance we can pass on to our IT team to improve compatibility with Azure for Students verification? Is there a way for failed verifications to be reviewed or reset when the institution and domain are valid? Our goal is not just to fix individual cases, but to understand whether our institutional setup could be improved to prevent this issue going forward. Any insight from Microsoft staff or other educators would be greatly appreciated. RobinLBaldwin Mahlah_MurrayMissed today's community call? Access the recording here!

Lab Credits and First course
Hello everyone, I’m reaching out to learn how other colleges handle student access to Azure when offering introductory AI or cloud-based courses my goal is to teach Microsoft Azure AI fundamentals. My understanding is that each student is asked to pay individually for Azure access. This model won’t work well for our institution or our student population. I would also like more than 30 day trial of Azure to test out the materials. For those of you who teach AI, cloud computing, or Microsoft Learn for Educators courses, I’d really appreciate your insight: How does your college provide Azure access for students? Do you use institution-wide Azure credits or centrally fund Azure usage? Are there specific Microsoft AI courses (e.g., Microsoft Azure AI fundamentals) that your institution uses as their first one? Any details about processes would be extremely helpful. My goal is to offer hands-on AI learning without placing a financial burden on students, and I’m hoping to learn from your approaches. Thank you in advance for your guidance and experiences! Best regards, Joecreating a separate tab for a common table
My question from a few days ago disappeared and I cannot locate it. I have created an Excel financial spreadsheet for myself that amasses all monthly data from my checking, investments, and credit cards. There are about 20 tabs including each month, each major account and others. Each monthly and account spreadsheets are identical. I created a table that has 3 column of data: Payee, account, and category which, in theory, auto update each spreadsheet. The downside to what I currently have is that every sheet needs an updated table which doesn't always work out to be complete. What I'd prefer is to have a separate tab in the spreadsheet that every tab could reference. I saw this once and know it can be done but, of course, I cannot find it. So, the question is, how can I get each month to find the separate tab (call it Ref or anything else) and input the appropriate data into the sheets? The current formula I am using for assigning the info is: =XLOOKUP(H14,Q:Q,S:S). The column reference are currently being used are because that's where they fit on each monthly spreadsheet. The data example is in the last row of the spreadsheet. All help is appreciated. Steve Backman💡 Building Future-Ready Skills: ESGTS and Microsoft Certifications
Hello everyone! I’m a lecturer at the Escola Superior de Gestão e Tecnologia de Santarém (ESGTS) in Portugal, and I’d like to thank Microsoft for the great work they’re doing with the Microsoft Learn for Educators (MSLE) program. We first heard about it in February 2025, when we started our onboarding process. The program immediately caught our attention because it offers two complementary learning paths, Microsoft Certifications and Microsoft Applied Skills, both of which align perfectly with the courses our School already teaches in Computer Science. The flexibility of these learning paths, some longer (Certifications) and others shorter (Applied Skills), along with multilingual support and hands-on labs through the Skillable platform, without students or teachers needing to use their own Azure credits, were key reasons why we decided to adopt the program. We’ve also seen growing interest in the topics covered by Microsoft certifications such as AI, AZ, DP, MS, and SC, among others. We quickly began training and certifying our teaching staff using the vouchers provided through the MSLE program, with the goal of soon extending this training to our students as well: In addition to our academic training, our School’s strategy also focuses on developing students’ skills using official vendor content. This effort led to our first in-person MSLE training session — AZ-900: Azure Fundamentals — held on June 11 and 12, 2025.
