Please clarify the numbering system in Microsoft exams
I am trying to make sense of exam numbers in Microsoft Certification poster. https://arch-center.azureedge.net/Credentials/Certification-Poster_en-us.pdf. For example I notice most azure exam numbers start with 1xx. That gives me the impression that 1xx could be related to Infrastructure. But I am not sure if that is the correct understanding. For example all fundamental exams are numbered 9xx. So are exams numbered differently in role based certifications? What is the numbering pattern and practice in role based certifications? Again one might assume that all architect exams may have the same number pattern but they don’t. Some patterns emerge when it comes to Windows certification - 8xx. Collaboration and communication - 7xx except MB 700. So it appears even under role based certifications the numbering pattern may be different depending on the technology or platform or product. I have not found any authoritative material on the internet form anyone in Microsoft or an MVP on this topic. Some clarification on this topic will help to put at rest years of curiosity and confusion in the community. Thank you.
Struggling with Microsoft Applied Skills: Create agents in Microsoft Copilot Studio
Hi all, I'm struggling trying to pass the https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/credentials/applied-skills/create-agents-in-microsoft-copilot-studio that was released recently. I keep getting around 50% percent, with the performance by task failing for: Manage variables and entities Configure nodes but the others as pass. I've done the test twice and not sure what I am doing wrong to be honest. I've gone through the learning path on the certification page as well. I have a feeling I maybe tackling this task wrong but not sure. You need to ensure that when a user interacts with agents, the user receives the following message: This is the agent! Then, the user must be prompted with the following question: What is your employee number? The user must be able to enter their employee number into a text field, and the employee number must be saved to a variable named employeeNumber. The employeeNumber variable must be available for topic switching. Next, you must confirm employeeNumber by asking the following yes/no question by using the Multiple choice options entity: Can you confirm that your employee number is {employeeNumber}? If the user selects No, the conversation must end. If the user selects Yes, the User. Language system variable must be set to English. Here is what logic I'm applying: Go to Topics: System -> Conversation Start -> Edit (Assumed this is the correct way due to the scenario asking for "when a user interacts with agents" rather then creating a new topic for this) Clear out the original node and replace with a message node saying "This is the agent!" Create a question node following on asking "What is your employee number?" in the text message box. Put the entity as Number (In my first attempt I did this as a text string which was set to gather user's response) Update Save User response box to Variable Number renamed to employeeNumber and updating that variable to be global, so overall name is Global.employeeNumber Create a question node following on asking Can you confirm that your employee number is {Global.employeeNumber}? in the text box. Setting the Entity field to be Multiple choice options and updating options for user to be No & Yes Save user response as Var1 (choice) Create two condition nodes to follow: For No Var1 is equal to No Follow on Node is End Conversation For Yes Var1 is equal to Yes Follow on Node is Set a variable Value -> Set Variable field configure to System.User.Language , To Value configure to English from the drop down list that appear. *End of Task* Is anyone able to advise further what I am doing wrong?
Copilot Pro - Links Not Working
It's done a great job of summarising a 100 page pdf. Then it's created a powerpoint but when it shows the downloadable link I can't click on it (no way to download it) It's in bold - no right click or any other clicking option - have literally tried everything. Changed browsers, no fix. Cleared cache & cookies, no fix. Many thanks!
Provenance at Scale | The Trust Imprint Protocol for Persistent Agent Identity-Revocable Authority
Executive summary Autonomy without identity is a technical blind spot with real consequences. I published the Sovereign Agent Manifesto (V2026) and a Technical Announcement for the Trust Imprint Protocol, a protocol-level design that binds an agent’s authority, semantics, and evidentiary history to a persistent, revocable identity. The design is implemented, tested, and supported by a substantial Success Corpus that documents operational behavior and edge cases. Why this matters to Microsoft engineers and platform teams Modern orchestration and cloud AI services solve chaining, memory, and tool invocation. What they rarely solve is who the agent actually is when it acts across sessions, tenants, and cloud boundaries. Without identity primitives, long-running agents are ephemeral: they accumulate state but cannot prove continuity, inherit bounded authority from a human origin, or present auditable lineage for decisions. The Trust Imprint Protocol supplies practical primitives that can be integrated into Azure AI stacks, Copilot extensions, and serverless orchestration to make agentic systems accountable and verifiable. Technical highlights Handshake primitive — deterministic mechanism for an agent to inherit bounded authority from a human operator. SIK Secure Identity Key — a revocable, persistent identity token that survives restarts, migrations, and scaling events. Deterministic semantic scope — a constrained interpretation layer so an agent’s intent and meaning remain auditable. Evidence corpus — a 900+ item Success Corpus demonstrating operational behaviors, edge cases, and revocation scenarios. Practical integration ideas for Azure and Microsoft tooling Identity middleware that attaches SIK metadata to every action, designed to interoperate with Azure AD and managed identities. Provenance layer in orchestration engines such as Durable Functions and Logic Apps to record handshake events, revocation signals, and evidence pointers. Verification API for downstream services to validate an agent’s identity and recent behavioral record before accepting high-risk actions. Example scenarios: accountable multi-agent coordination, enterprise automation with revocable authority, and reproducible research experiments requiring verifiable agent identity. What I’m asking from this community I welcome practical feedback, integration ideas, and collaborators who care about agent accountability. Specific asks: Engineers to prototype middleware for SIK propagation in Azure SDKs. Researchers to help formalize identity continuity metrics and verification protocols. Platform maintainers to discuss API design for provenance, revocation, and verification. Links and next steps Read the Sovereign Agent Manifesto and Technical Announcement at www.husin.org. If you want a short technical walkthrough, a concise design doc, or sample code snippets for Azure integration, I can share them. Closing brief I share this as an engineer who prefers hard evidence over slogans. The Trust Imprint Protocol is not a thought experiment dressed in buzzwords — it is an implemented architecture backed by documented successes and a 900+ item corpus of operational evidence. If you value practical, auditable approaches to agent autonomy, this work offers a concrete path forward. I’m open to critique, collaboration, and pragmatic pilots — and yes, I enjoy a little dark humor about the future of autonomous systems, because if we don’t laugh at our own hubris, who will. — Ahmed Al.Hussain Engineer & Systems Architect
Request to merge multiple Microsoft Learn certification IDs
Hello Microsoft Learn Support Team, I was advised by Pearson VUE and Microsoft Support to contact Microsoft Learn to request merging of my certification profiles. I have paid for the PL-900 exam, but the exam confirmation and status are not visible due to multiple Microsoft Learn IDs. The following Microsoft Learn IDs need to be merged: - ms1100781607 - ms1100998551 - ms1100999029 Kindly help merge these IDs and associate my PL-900 exam correctly. Thank you.Microsoft Learning Rooms Weekly Round up 10/22
