Re: Not able to setup azure private endpoint url as webservice/backend for Azure API Management
Test this out: Trace in APIM: Enable tracing; look for BackendConnectionFailure details, TLS errors, or DNS resolution results. SSL/TLS trust and SNI problems manifest as 500s with trust/handshake failures. DNS resolution test: From a VM in APIM’s subnet, nslookup/dig the backend FQDN. It must resolve to the PE’s private IP. If it resolves public, fix Private DNS links. TCP reachability: From that VM, test tcping or Test-NetConnection to the backend FQDN:port. If blocked, adjust NSGs/UDRs or SLB rules. FS logs / Load balancer health: Check the Standard LB health probe and AKS service endpoints; the LB must show healthy backends on the port APIM calls. Certificate/SNI validation: If HTTPS, verify the cert chain installed at the ingress. Ensure APIM uses the same hostname in the Host header and SNI; otherwise certificate mismatch causes trust errors.

In Word 365, the Find and Replace dialog continues to support special characters; however, the functionality is accessed through the More >> button and then Special. Unlike earlier versions, a separate dialog box does not appear. Instead, special characters are inserted directly from the Special menu into the Find what or Replace with fields.

With the current Microsoft Entra conditional access framework, passkeys in the Authenticator app cannot be registered on unmanaged or BYOD devices when device compliance is enforced. The registration process requires a successful sign‑in, which is prevented by the compliant‑device requirement. As a result, passkeys can only be provisioned and used on mobile devices that are enrolled in Intune or otherwise designated as compliant. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/authentication/how-to-enable-authenticator-passkey https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/discussions/microsoft-entra/block-access-with-conditional-access-for-unmanaged-devices/4065902 Support passkeys in Authenticator in your Microsoft Entra ID tenant - Microsoft Entra ID | Microsoft Learn8Views0likes0CommentsRe: Consumer REST API for Azure Event Hub
Azure Event Hubs does not offer a consumer REST API. While events can be published to an Event Hub using REST, event consumption must be performed through supported SDKs (such as Java, .NET, or Python) or by leveraging services like Azure Stream Analytics. Unlike Kafka, which organizes messages by topics, Event Hubs is designed around partitions and consumer groups. As a result, the REST API does not expose a “topic” field.

This is a known quirk of Azure Monitor’s metrics ingestion and aggregation, not a coding error on your side. If you need reliable daily counts, stick to smaller timespan windows or add a delay before querying month‑wide ranges.

Your images are most likely still contained within the .odt file, but they are not rendering properly in Microsoft Word. A practical recovery method is to treat the .odt file as a compressed archive and extract the embedded image assets directly. To resolve the issue, rename the file extension from .odt to .zip, then open the archive and locate the Pictures folder. This folder typically contains all embedded images, which can be copied and reinserted into a new Word document. For future work, ensure that documents are saved in the native Word format (.docx) rather than OpenDocument (.odt). This will help maintain compatibility and prevent display errors when handling images or other embedded content.17Views1like0CommentsRe: PAAS resource metrics using Azure Data Collection Rule to Log Analytics Workspace
Azure Data Collection Rules (DCRs) are now capable of collecting platform metrics from selected PaaS resources in addition to virtual machines. However, this functionality is currently limited to a defined set of resource types and regions. It is therefore essential to verify whether your specific PaaS service is included in the list of supported resources before implementation.

I believed it was limitation that Microsoft Bookings does not supporting automatic population of internal users' details (e.g., name, email address) when creating a booking. The platform is primarily designed for external-facing scenarios, which means that even internal staff members must manually enter their information. While workarounds are possible, they require additional customization through tools such as Power Automate or custom integrations.45Views0likes0CommentsRe: Issue with Hyper-V VM on Tagged VLAN – Traffic Reaches Local Hosts but Not External Networks
Would suggest trying on below: 1. Confirm host vSwitch and adapters o List vSwitches: Get-VMNetworkAdapterVlan -VMName "testvlan" o Check host VLAN on the vSwitch adapter: the host vNIC bound to the external vSwitch should show no VLAN ID. 2. Validate VM adapter state o Show VLAN mode: Get-VMNetworkAdapterVlan -VMName "testvlan" o Expect Trunk, AllowedVlanIdList = 4, NativeVlanId = 2. 3. Packet capture on host uplink o Use a lightweight capture (e.g., Wireshark) on the physical NIC bound to the external vSwitch. o Expected outbound frames to external targets carry 802.1Q tag 4 when the VM is on VLAN 4; replies should also arrive with tag 4. o If tags are missing outbound: host/driver offload or vSwitch config is stripping tags. o If tags arrive but no replies: upstream switch isn’t forwarding VLAN 4 or has ACLs/VRFs blocking. 4. Switch-side verification o Show interface trunk status: confirm VLAN 4 is permitted and not pruned. o Native/PVID: if you set NativeVlanId 2, ensure the switch port’s native/PVID is 2; consider removing native VLAN usage and operate all VM traffic as tagged to simplify. 5. Eliminate guest NIC VLAN conflicts o If the guest OS NIC driver has VLAN features enabled, choose one of these patterns: Hyper V tags, guest untagged: VM NIC untagged, Hyper V vNIC trunk adds/removes tags based on port setting. Guest tags, Hyper V pass through: Set VM’s Hyper V vNIC to trunk but do not set a native; let the guest NIC tag VLAN 4. o Avoid double configuration that leads to double tag or unexpected untagged frames. 6. Test without NativeVlanId o Temporarily remove the native VLAN to reduce ambiguity: Set-VMNetworkAdapterVlan -VMName "testvlan" -Trunk -AllowedVlanIdList 4 o Ensure the switch port has no native VLAN expectations for this traffic. 7. Driver/offload sanity check o Temporarily disable VLAN offload features on the physical NIC. Some drivers mishandle 802.1Q with certain offloads enabled. o Update NIC drivers/firmware; known issues can present exactly as “works intra-host, breaks off-host.”3Views0likes0CommentsRe: Azure SQL DTU or vCore
For a test environment hosting multiple databases with relatively light usage, and requiring features such as SQL Agent and linked servers, Azure SQL Managed Instance represents the most suitable option. When selecting a purchasing model, the vCore-based approach would suggest, as it provides greater transparency, scalability, and cost management compared to the legacy DTU model. Where available, the serverless tier can further optimize costs by automatically scaling compute resources in line with workload demand.

The problem arises because you currently have two separate Microsoft 365 tenants: one previously provisioned through GoDaddy and another associated with your new Microsoft 365 Personal subscription. The Office applications, such as Word, are still attempting to authenticate against the former GoDaddy tenant, which has already been decommissioned. To resolve this, you will need to remove all references to the old GoDaddy account from your Office applications and Windows credential store. Once those cached credentials are cleared, sign in exclusively with your active Microsoft 365 Personal account. This will ensure that Word and the other Office applications properly recognize and activate against your current subscription.

You cannot protect the DEK with both a custom certificate and a CMK in Azure SQL PaaS. Azure SQL Database/Managed Instance: Use CMK in Azure Key Vault for BYOK. SQL Server (on-premises/IaaS): Use certificates in the master database. They are two different implementations of TDE depending on the deployment model.10Views0likes0CommentsRe: Azure SQL Database : Can I use same primary key column and foreign key column for multiple tables?

Try below steps to check and fix: 1. Check Shortcut Integrity • Right click the Outlook icon in the Start Menu or desktop → More > App settings. • If available, select Reset. • Alternatively, delete the shortcut and recreate it: o Search for Outlook in the Start Menu. o Right click → Pin to Start or Pin to Taskbar. 2. Run Outlook in Safe Mode • Press Win + R, type: outlook.exe /safe • If it opens, the issue may be caused by an add in. Disable add ins under File > Options > Add ins. 3. Clear Cached Profiles • Go to Control Panel > Mail > Show Profiles. • Create a new profile and set it as default. • This rules out a corrupted Outlook profile. 4. Repair Office Installation (Full Repair) • Go to Settings > Apps > Installed Apps > Microsoft Office (or Microsoft 365). • Choose Modify > Online Repair (not Quick Repair). • This reinstalls core components without removing your data. 5. Check Windows Updates 6. Reinstall Outlook • If none of the above works, uninstall Office/Outlook and reinstall.24Views0likes0Comments
