Microsoft Azure Education Problem

Syachazriel — Tue, 05 May 2026 02:46:43 GMT

I've search online that my University is Eligible to have ADT4T access, but as you can see I only have 28 items available. I've contacted the admin on my University and with no solution at all, I've also been connected to my university active directory, but still no solution to this problem. Also as you can see in the screenshot there's an orange warning on top. Can anyone help me please?

Looking for official role-based AI learning paths and Microsoft AI ecosystem diagram

smatsusaki — Thu, 02 Apr 2026 04:10:42 GMT

Hello everyone,

I am responsible for AI up-skilling at my company, and we are currently building role-based learning paths for roles such as AI Engineer, Data Analyst, Data Engineer, and Data Scientist.

I would really appreciate any advice or pointers to official Microsoft resources on the following topics.

Q1. Role-based learning paths

I am aware of the Microsoft Learn career paths:

However, I am looking for the most up-to-date official learning paths or curated guidance that also cover newer services such as:

Copilot

GitHub Copilot

Microsoft Fabric

Azure AI Foundry

Are there any Microsoft resources that organize recommended learning content by role for these newer areas?

Q2. Official Microsoft AI ecosystem diagram

I am also looking for an official Microsoft diagram, map, or architecture overview that shows the overall AI ecosystem, including services such as Copilot, GitHub Copilot, Microsoft Fabric, and Azure AI Foundry.

As a reference, I am aware of unofficial resource, although it appears to be somewhat outdated:

If anyone knows of an official and more recent resource, I would be very grateful.

(If direct links are not allowed in replies, page titles or document names would also be very helpful.)

Thank you.

Microsoft Mesh Education Licensing

abrooks1 — Thu, 26 Mar 2026 14:26:32 GMT

Microsoft Education and Product Teams,

I am writing to advocate for the inclusion of Microsoft Mesh (Immersive Spaces and Events) within the Microsoft 365 Education SKU family (A1, A3, and A5).

Currently, Mesh is available across nearly every commercial license family, from Teams Essentials to E5 Enterprise, but is explicitly excluded from Education tenants. As documented in several Learn Q&A threads and service plan manifests, the MESH_IMMERSIVE_FOR_TEAMS service plan is simply not provisioned for EDU customers.

The current state is one of silent exclusion, creating several critical hurdles:

Pedagogical: Immersive technology is one of the most requested features for remote and hybrid learning to combat "Zoom fatigue" and increase student engagement. Education is a high-value use case for 3D immersion.
Parity: Universities and K-12 institutions on A5 licenses pay for "top-tier" features but are denied the innovative tools available to a "Business Basic" user. If you are a small business on a basic plan, you have Mesh. If you are a world-class University on A5, you are blocked. This isn't a "procurable" add-on; it is a licensing eligibility wall.
Implementation: Current Microsoft guidance suggests schools move to Business or Enterprise licensing to access Mesh. This is not a viable solution for institutions with thousands of users, complex compliance requirements, and student-data privacy frameworks built specifically around EDU SKUs.

We aren’t asking for a discount; we are asking for eligibility. We urge the product team to:

Add the Mesh Immersive service plan to the A3 and A5 EDU license entitlements.
Provide a clear roadmap for when Education tenants can expect feature parity with Commercial tenants.

Education should be the vanguard of immersive collaboration, not an afterthought. We would appreciate a formal update on when this licensing barrier will be removed.

Minecraft Education-Hour of AI- the First Night

DidaPapa — Tue, 18 Nov 2025 06:30:17 GMT

Hello,I'm a Greek teacher of English (TESOL).Yesterday I tried the new Challenge, Hour of AI- the First Night. Playing with my student, I kind of "studied" the detailes of this world, and I would highly recommend it to language teachers,too, not only ITs or CSs. It can be used as part of reading,speaking, listening and writing skills development, as the core of a CLIL lesson and as general students' awareness raising of how we can use AI safely,ethically and to our benefit. Please note that safely,ethically and to our benefit aren't buzz or empty words,but have the whole issues that concern teachers ,parents and other members of society.Worth trying and taking seriously.

AI Agents in Free Copilot Chat.

MandiJackson — Tue, 07 Oct 2025 11:34:07 GMT

Hi all!

When Agents were first introduced into Copilot Chat for free, you used to be able to upload 20 knowledge resources. Now this has been cut back to 4 web URLS only, and each of these can only be 2 forward slashes deep - we are really struggling on using agents successfully.

Based in the UK, all of the Department for Education content is more than // deep in their web. We can't upload docs from the PDF's and most other juicy web content is much deeper in the domains than 2 x //

I would love to hear from other Copilot Chat Agent users in how you are working with the barriers of the free version in your setting. Paid licenses are just not an option on UK school budgets sadly.

Thanks all!

Hi All, I am a founder building a teaching & learning enhancement platform ( https://www.buddiz.ai),

SanjithJacobThomas — Thu, 11 Sep 2025 20:22:36 GMT

I would like to connect with fellow educators to test our product, give feedbacks that will help refine the product. We are looking to partner with Educators in UAE, India to do some pilots, POC's, please feel free to connect me at mailto:email address removed for privacy reasons

Using Forms to send Feedback to Teachers

ielmcharfi123 — Thu, 13 Mar 2025 14:35:16 GMT

So here's my question -- is there a way to set up a Form so that the principal will enter the email address of the teacher while they are filling out the Form (as one of the questions) and then a copy of all the responses will be sent to both the principal (filling out the Form) and the teacher (who's email is an answer in the Form).

Golden Path for Education - Part 1a

Stewart York — Wed, 11 Dec 2024 02:06:42 GMT

What is Golden Path

Golden Path was developed to simplify and enhance the security of deploying a Microsoft 365 tenant solution in education. It consists of three stages:

Stage 1: Deployment Guides are available online at Golden Path. This stage includes:

Baseline - Stage 1a
Standard - Stage 1b
Advanced - Stage 1c

Stage 2: A Discovery/Assessment AI tool is used to expose the tenant's configuration and analyze it against the tenant's license configurations, tenant and service settings, Microsoft's general education recommendations, and customer requirements.

Stage 3: Drift Configuration management helps understand changes made against the established configuration in the tenant. These changes can be reversed or modified before any breaches or irregularities create problems.

Goals and Objectives for Golden Path

Goals

Develop prescriptive deployment guides that provide a centralized resource with education-specific scenarios to assist organizations in defining, managing, and organizing their tenant and appropriate applications.

Reduce the overall complexity of tenant and service deployment.
Establish baseline recommended pathways to facilitate a common and agreed-upon configuration based on subject-matter experts.
Utilize AI technology to uncover and compare recommended settings against user requirements based on documented configurations.
Implement phased configurations to aid customers and partners in understanding what they may not know or should consider during discovery to meet customer expectations.
Highlight unused features and products to ensure customers fully leverage the potential and benefits of their purchased product licenses.
Identify opportunities for partner participation in achieving customer goals and expectations based on customer requirements and Golden Path findings.
Create an easy pathway for customer change management to enhance control, security, compliance, and privacy of tenants.
Develop custom assessments to evaluate product entry for items such as Copilot, Defender, Purview, Intune, Zero-Trust, and Microsoft Entra ID.

Objectives

Deliver information for features available (used/unused) to users based on license model.
Prescriptive recommendations based on education scenarios. - Present upgrade license opportunities from A1 to A3 to A5.
Security analysis exposing gaps and issues proactively to allow modifications before it's too late.
Promote partner access to customers that have defined gaps based on assessments and are requesting partner assistance.
Better discovery and assessment analysis with new tools.
Designed to be more self-serving customer and partner access management.
Speed up user adoption for educators and IT Admins alike.

Baseline Stage 1a

Baseline is stage 1a in the overall development of the Golden Path for Education. It is based on a majority of licenses within the tenant at the Microsoft 365 A1 for Education level. It also is a set of recommendations for ALL Microsoft Education tenants.
