Excel Formulas Copyrights
Hi Experts, What do you feel about the formula you wrote, and perhaps you struggled while writing it to make it work, what do you feel when you see someone copying and pasting it somewhere else and then claiming to be the one who wrote it? Some formulas are truly a creative intellectual production worthy of being preserved and recorded in the name of its author. What can we do about this issue? Any thoughts?
Bulletins and Ideas
We are looking to utilise bulletins and Ideas apps within our entire company team but the issue I am having is, once I install the Apps, it also installs the manage bulletins and manage ideas apps at the same time. What I can't work out is how do I stop members of the team been able to access the manage bulletins and manage ideas tabs within that team as I only want team owners to be able to access these apps. Any help would be greatly appreciated.Viva Insights - Product Feedback and Feature Suggestions forum

Allow own editing after posting a new question into any of Community Lounge Discussion Boards
Right after posting my new question into one of Community Lounge Discussion Boards I noticed that it was no more possible to edit it again in case any correction might have been needed. While I noticed doing the same editing was indeed allowed after adding a reply to my own question, so basically I'm just asking for some more consistency... 😇 Many thanks in advance for your attention. Best Regards RobHardware-Level Resilience (RMAU) (Remote Acess Management Update)to mitigate Ring 0 Kernel Outages.
Proposal: Windows RMAU (Remote Access Update) Resilience Architecture Author:CAB4devs Credits:CAB4Devs Unabbreviated name: RAMU (Remote acess management update) Project Name: RAMU the best fix for mass malware attacks and Driver failures! Head of idea: CAB4devs Professions of author: Unofficial IT Computer science Programming (Non of these are degrees) 1. Executive Summary: The "Global Kill-Switch" Problem The 2024 global outage proved that when the Windows Kernel (Ring 0) fails, the OS becomes a "brick." Current recovery requires manual, physical intervention (Safe Mode + BitLocker keys), which is impossible to scale for 8.5 million+ devices. RMAU (Remote Access Update) is a proposed system that allows Microsoft to "tap into" any bricked Windows machine via a secure, hardware-independent "Emergency Hatch." It allows a central Microsoft engineer to perform mass file deletions, registry fixes, or command execution on millions of devices simultaneously, without the local user doing anything. 2. How It Works (The "Zero-OS" Logic) To work without new physical hardware, RMAU leverages the existing UEFI (Firmware) and Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE). The "Heartbeat" Trigger: If Windows fails to boot 3 times, the UEFI triggers the "RMAU Pre-Boot Agent." The "Main Server" Connection: This agent bypasses the broken Windows OS and establishes a tiny, encrypted network tunnel directly to Microsoft’s RMAU Central Command. Zero User Interaction: The user sees a screen saying "System Recovery in Progress – Managed by Microsoft Support." They do not need to type passwords or BitLocker keys; the hardware "handshakes" with the server using the device's unique TPM (Trusted Platform Module) ID. 3. The Microsoft Employee Experience (The Admin UI) When an outage happens, a Level 4 Microsoft Engineer logs into the RMAU Master Console. The Admin UI View: Global Map: A real-time heatmap showing millions of Blue-Screened devices. Mass-Action Command Line: A console where the engineer types: TARGET: ALL_BSOD_DEVICES_WITH_DRIVER("C-00000291*.sys") ACTION: DELETE_FILE("C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\C-00000291*.sys") ACTION: REBOOT Remote Desktop (Individual): For single-user bugs, the employee sees a "Ghost Screen"—a low-latency view of the target PC’s file system and registry, allowing them to type commands as if they were sitting at the desk. 4. Security: The "Nuclear Launch" Protocol Because this system can "do anything," it must be the most secured system on Earth. The Physical Cord (Center-Side): To prevent a hacker from "mass-tapping" into computers from home, the RMAU Master Console is Air-Gapped. The only way to send a global command is to physically plug a "Golden Key" (USB-HSM) into the server inside a Microsoft high-security vault. The Quorum (3-of-5): No one person can fix the world. Five high-ranking officials (CEO, CISO, etc.) must each provide a unique biometric scan (Retina/Fingerprint) and a code from an OOB Android Device to authorize the "Global Delete" command. ID-Locked: Every keystroke an employee makes is recorded and tied to their biometric ID. If an employee tries to "spy" on a user, the system automatically flags them for federal investigation. 5. Real-World Use Case: 2024 Scenario vs. General Bugs Scenario A: The 2024 CrowdStrike Event Without RMAU: IT teams drove to offices for weeks to manually fix PCs. With RMAU: The Microsoft Engineer identifies the bad file C-00000291*.sys. They send a Mass-Tap Command. Within 60 seconds, all 8.5 million computers receive the "Delete" signal at the hardware level. The PCs reboot, and the world is back online in under 5 minutes. Scenario B: The "Random Driver" Bug If a specific brand of laptop (e.g., Dell) starts crashing due to a bad update, the PM can target only those specific Serial Numbers. They can remotely open a CMD Prompt on the bricked device, run sfc /scannow, and repair the system while the user sleeps. 6. Legal & Privacy Compliance To stay legal, RMAU follows the "Emergency-Only" doctrine: Consent by Terms: Users agree to "Emergency Remediation" in the EULA. Strict Limitation: The hardware hatch only opens if the OS is non-functional. It cannot be used to "spy" on a working computer. Immutable Audit: All logs are made available to government regulators to prove Microsoft only deleted the "Bad File" and didn't touch user data. 7. The "No-Hardware" Update (How to Deploy) This doesn't need a new PC. It can be sent as a BIOS/Firmware Update. Code Implementation: Microsoft writes a "RMAU UEFI Extension" and sends it via Windows Update. It installs into the motherboard's firmware. The "Silent Guard": Once installed, it sits dormant. It never turns on unless it detects a Kernel Panic or a Boot Loop, ensuring zero impact on battery or performance. Final Verdict for the Forum: "Microsoft, we need to stop relying on 'Safe Mode.' We need a system that assumes the OS is dead and fixes it from the outside. RMAU is the answer."
