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.Microsoft Learning Rooms Weekly Round up on 10/16

How to assign admin-level permissions in Azure Purview without using Global Administrator
Hello, We have a question regarding the management of roles and permissions in Azure Purview. According to the documentation (Azure Purview permissions), it seems that Global Administrator permissions are required to access all features, which raises some security concerns for us. Is there no way to assign a more specific role — similar to how it works in Microsoft Fabric with the Fabric Administrator role — rather than having to assign the Global Administrator role? If this is indeed not possible, we understand that the proper workflow would be for someone with Global Administrator privileges to go to Azure Purview > Roles and Scopes > Role Groups, and from there assign a more granular Purview-specific role to selected users, such as a Data Curator or Data Source Administrator. Is this correct? Is this the recommended approach? Thank you in advance for your help. Best regards,
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
CI/CD GitHub Deployment from Dev to UAT Synapse Workspace not Picking Up UAT Resources
Hello, I am setting up CI/CD for Azure Synapse Analytics using GitHub Actions with multiple environments (Dev, UAT, Prod). My Synapse resources are: Dev: ************-dev, azcalsbdatalakedev, calsbvaultdev, SQL DB azcalsbazuresqldev / MetaData UAT: ************-uat, azcalsbdatalakeuat, calsbvaultuat, SQL DB azcalsbazuresqluat / MetaData Prod: ***********-prod, azcalsbdatalakeprod, azcalsbvaultprod, SQL DB azcalsbazuresqlprod / MetaData I have environment-specific parameter override files like uat.json and prod.json. My GitHub workflows (synapse-dev.yml, synapse-uat.yml, etc.) deploy the Synapse publish artifacts (TemplateForWorkspace.json and TemplateParametersForWorkspace.json) with those overrides. Issue: When I run the UAT workflow, deployment completes successfully but the UAT Synapse workspace still shows Dev resources. For example, linked services like LS_ADLS still point to azcalsbdatalakedev instead of azcalsbdatalakeuat. What I have tried: Created overrides for UAT (uat.json) with correct workspace name and connection strings Checked GitHub workflow YAML to confirm the override file is being passed in the az deployment group create step Verified that Dev deployment works fine Tried changing default values in linked services JSON but behavior is inconsistent Questions: Is there a specific way to structure override files (uat.json) for Synapse CI/CD deployments so environment values are correctly replaced? Do I need separate branches in GitHub for Dev, UAT, and Prod, or can I deploy to all environments from main with overrides? Has anyone else seen linked services or parameters still pointing to Dev even after a UAT deployment? Any guidance, best practices, or sample YAML and override examples would be very helpful. Thanks in advance.Microsoft Learning Rooms Weekly Round up 10/9

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.Unable to login to Azure (blocked tenant)
Hi! I was trying to do the exercises to prepare for an Azure exam, however when trying to access my account at ai.azure.com or portal.azure.com, I got the following error: AADSTS5000225: This tenant has been blocked due to inactivity. I tried to contact support with no success - https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/topic/customer-service-phone-numbers-c0389ade-5640-e588-8b0e-28de8afeb3f2 On chat, I've received the response that I should contact the phone number as it's a business case, on the phone number however, I was connected to a bot which said that it can't help with login issues on the phone. When trying to recall, now the bot remembered the interaction and says the same thing. I've done some certifications in the past, and my account has been inactive meanwhile - so this explains why it was blocked - but now I would need it again. Is there any way to regain access to Azure now to complete the exercises for the certification?
