I first logged this on https://stackoverflow.com/questions/79746967/accessviolationexception-when-creating-mipcontext-after-upgrade-to-v1-17 and the responses there have indicated I should raise with Microsoft a a likely bug, but I don't see a clear route to reporting other than here so any response would be appreciated, even if just to direct me to the appropriate reporting location. I've built a simple console app that demonstrates this issue that I'm happy to provide but we're seeing an issue with the 1.17.x version of the C# MIP SDK where an AccessViolationException is being thrown when trying to create an MIP context object. This is for a .Net Framework 4.8 console app built in 64-bit configuration, deployed to a Windows Server 2016 with the latest VC++ redistributable (14.44.35211) installed (both x86 and x64 versions), though we've seen the same on Windows Server 2019 and 2022. When the same app is built in 32-bit and deployed to the same environment the exception doesn't occur. The following code is what I've used to repro the issue: MIP.Initialize(MipComponent.File); var appInfo = new ApplicationInfo { ApplicationId = string.Empty, ApplicationName = string.Empty, ApplicationVersion = string.Empty }; var diagnosticConfiguration = new DiagnosticConfiguration { IsMinimalTelemetryEnabled = true }; var mipConfiguration = new MipConfiguration(appInfo, "mip_data", LogLevel.Info, false, CacheStorageType.InMemory) { DiagnosticOverride = diagnosticConfiguration }; //Expect BadInputException here due to empty properties of appInfo //When built as part of a 64-bit console app this causes AccessViolationException instead MIP.CreateMipContext(mipConfiguration); The AccessViolationException crashes the console app, with the following logged in the Windows Event Log: Framework Version: v4.0.30319 Description: The process was terminated due to an unhandled exception. Exception Info: System.AccessViolationException at Microsoft.InformationProtection.Internal.SdkWrapperPINVOKE.MipContext_Create__SWIG_1(System.Runtime.InteropServices.HandleRef) at Microsoft.InformationProtection.Internal.MipContext.Create(Microsoft.InformationProtection.Internal.MipConfiguration) at Microsoft.InformationProtection.Utils.MIPHelper.CreateMipContext(Microsoft.InformationProtection.MipConfiguration) The issue doesn't occur with the latest 1.16 version (1.16.149) of the SDK but does appear to be in all versions of the 1.17 release. Library: C# MIP SDK v1.17.x Target App: .Net Framework 4.8 console app Deployed OS: Windows Server 2016, 2019 and 2022 (With .Net Framework 4.8 and latest VC++ redist installed)Announcing Windows Server vNext Preview Build 26470

What's New Rack Level Nested Mirror (RLNM) for S2D Campus Cluster Rack Level Nested Mirror (RLNM) for S2D Campus Cluster enables customers to meet NIS2 two data room requirements for their factories by providing fast and resilient storage using Storage Spaces Direct (S2D). For S2D Campus Cluster, we recommend using all-flash storage (SSD or NVMe drives), all capacity (no cache drives), and RDMA NICs (iWARP, RoCE, or InfiniBand). Note: Rack fault domains must be created on the cluster in order to use this feature – a new cluster must be created: #Create a test cluster but do not create storage: New-Cluster -Name TestCluster -Node Node1, Node2, Node3, Node4 -NoStorage #Define the fault domains for the cluster – two nodes are in “Room1” and two nodes are in “Room2”: Set-ClusterFaultDomain -XML @”<Topology><Site Name=”Redmond”><Rack Name=”Room1”><Node Name=”Node1”/><Node Name=”Node2”/></Rack><Rack Name=”Room2”><Node Name=”Node3”/> <Node Name=”Node4”/></Rack></Site></Topology>”@ #Add Storage Spaces Direct (S2D) Storage to the cluster – note that Enable-ClusterS2D cmdlet can also be used: Enable-ClusterStorageSpacesDirect #Check that the Storage Pool’s FaultDomainAwareness property is set to StorageRack: Get-storagepool -FriendlyName <S2DStoragePool> | fl #Create a four-copy volume on the storage pool: New-Volume -FriendlyName “FourCopyVolume” -StoragePoolFriendlyName S2D* -FileSystem CSVFS_ReFS –Size 500GB -PhysicalDiskRedundancy 3 -ProvisioningType Fixed -NumberOfDataCopies 4 –NumberOfColumns 3 #Create a four-copy volume on the storage pool, thinly provisioned: New-Volume -FriendlyName “FourCopyVolume” -StoragePoolFriendlyName S2D* -FileSystem CSVFS_ReFS –Size 500GB -PhysicalDiskRedundancy 3 –ProvisioningType Thin -NumberOfDataCopies 4 –NumberOfColumns 3 Windows Server Flighting is here!!

Java MIP SDK 1.17.154: commitAsync() TemplateNotFoundError (C# OK; Java fails Win & Ubuntu)
TL;DR Java SDK 1.17.154: calling setLabel() then commitAsync() fails with TemplateNotFoundError (TemplateId=2ea3c830-...). Same label/code works on Java 1.16.x and C# 1.17.154. Policy cache cleared, templates/labels verified, token/tenant checked—issue persists. Environment SDK (Java): 1.16.x (OK), 1.17.154 (FAIL) SDK (C#): 1.17.154 (OK) OS (Java): Windows 10/11 (win32 build), Ubuntu 20.04 / 22.04 / 24.04 Java: OpenJDK 17.0.16 (x64) Service/Tenant: Microsoft Purview Information Protection Auth: (e.g., user delegated token / app-only token) Code Snippet (Java) // Label apply options LabelingOptions labelingOptions = new LabelingOptions(); labelingOptions.setAssignmentMethod(AssignmentMethod.PRIVILEGED); labelingOptions.setDowngradeJustified(true); labelingOptions.setJustificationMessage("Label Apply"); // Get label Label label = fileEngine.getLabelById(labelId); // Apply label (no explicit template handling) fileHandler.setLabel(label, labelingOptions, new ProtectionSettings()); // Commit File workFile = new File(domainFolder, UidUtil.makeUid()); CompletableFuture<Boolean> commitFuture = fileHandler.commitAsync(workFile.getAbsolutePath()); commitFuture.get(); // <-- Throws TemplateNotFoundError on 1.17.154 Stack trace excerpt: Caused by: com.microsoft.informationprotection.internal.gen.Error: TemplateNotFoundError: Could not find template with id: 2ea3c830-5a0e-4eea-b48b-c72186d453c0, BadInputError.Code=General, CorrelationId=42ffaad4-3a0f-4986-ba9d-b5a79c5fd076 (ProtectionEngine), CorrelationId=16819f70-e419-473f-9895-c756f3dd5e4b (FileHandler) at com.microsoft.informationprotection.internal.gen.SdkWrapperJNI.SwigDirector_FileHandler_Observer_OnCommitFailure(SdkWrapperJNI.java:2688) Expected Behavior setLabel() should apply the label (and its protection) and commit successfully, as it does in Java 1.16 and C# 1.17.154. Actual Behavior commitAsync() fails with TemplateNotFoundError for the GUID referenced by the label’s ApplyProtectionAction. What I’ve Tried Policy/cache refresh: Deleted %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\MSIP\ / ~/.mip/, reloaded engine. Template/label verification: Confirmed existence and publish scope in Purview portal & via PowerShell/Graph. Label actions check: policyEngine.getLabelActions(labelId) shows an ApplyProtectionAction with that GUID. Token/tenant sanity check: Correct scopes and same tenant. Rollback test: Java 1.16 works; C# 1.17.154 works. Questions Any breaking change in Java 1.17 regarding how protection templates are resolved during setLabel()? Is this a known issue specific to Java SDK 1.17.154 (win32 & Ubuntu 20/22/24 builds)? Should we now explicitly use ProtectionDescriptor / SetProtection() in Java? Can someone review the service logs using the CorrelationIds above? Happy to provide additional logs, PowerShell/Graph queries, or action dumps if needed. Thanks!
Fabric Warehouse is not extracting metadata like tables and its columns in Purview
Hello Team, Good Evening..! We noticed that the metadata in Datawarehouse is not extracting Schema(Tab) which contains Tables and its columns We scanned Lakehouse using Service prinicple where metadata extraction is done as expected but it is not the same in Data Warehouse after the scan completes. Are there any other options to get that metadata extracted under warehouse ? Please guide us the best possible methods to handle this situation. Regards, Naresh Inaganti
