Struggling with running DQ Scans (Long queuing and Retry Count Error Issues)
Hi everyone, I have been exploring Microsoft Purview Data Quality quite extensively. At this point, I have configured more than 4,000 data quality rules across more than 10 Microsoft Fabric capacities, each with a minimum capacity of F16. Fabric is the source for all assets registered in Purview. I have identified several issues with the product, but the two that are currently impacting me the most are the following: DQ scans failing with a generic error“Max Retry Count Reached. Ending Workflow. Current Task HandleError”The challenge is that the error message does not identify which rule is causing the failure. As a result, I have to troubleshoot manually by disabling groups of rules, rerunning the scans, and repeating the process until I find the problematic rule. This trial-and-error approach is very time-consuming, especially at this scale. This seems to be caused by issues in some of the DQ rules, even though all rules are marked as “Good to go” in Purview. When running Data Quality scans, I often receive the following error: DQ scans remain queued for a long timeI am not sure why this happens or what resource, orchestration, or scheduling constraint is causing the delay. Whenever I run these DQ scans, they remain in a Queued state for at least 10 minutes, even when there is nothing running on the Fabric capacities. Has anyone experienced similar behavior with Purview Data Quality at this scale? Specifically, I would appreciate any guidance on: How to identify which DQ rule is causing a scan failure Why scans remain queued even when Fabric capacity appears to be idle Whether there are known limitations or best practices for running thousands of DQ rules in Purview Thank you.
Two sensitivity labels on PDF file
Hi everyone, First time poster here. We encountered an interesting issue yesterday where we had a user come to us with a PDF that had two sensitivity labels attached. In Purview activity explorer, we can see the file hit the DLP policy and the two labels, but when trying to replicate the issue cannot do it, or see how this has been done. Has anyone else encountered a similar issue? We were able to remove labels in our PDF editor but in Office suite once a label is applied, I could not see a way to remove it. We tried applying a label to a Doc file, converting to PDF and then seeing if it was there where it was being asked for another label but it was not, it just let us change the original. Many thanks in advance!
Onboarding Devices to Purview
I am not clear on how can I onboard devices to MDE so that I can enforce EDLP policies. We have CrowdStrike as Primary AV and other policies. Devices are managed through Intune for Bitlocker encryption and all the other settings except they don't have Defender. These devices are not showing up in Purview nor under "Endpoint detection and response" location under Endpoint Security. If we create an EDR onboarding policy and deploy to devices, then it shows the devices and says that AMRUnningMode is Passive, but Antivirus is true. Which I feel like Defender is taking over CrowdStrike? or am I wrong. My goal is to make sure CrowdStrike still primary AV and devices should be onboarded to MDE and then to Purview so that we can scope EDLP policies properly. Can anyone help me to understand or provide right steps?
Confusion around Purview Definitions and Risk Scoring
In the early days of implementation and we've done our 'Quick setup' of Insider Risk Management which created our Adaptive Protection Policy for IRM, two IRM DLP policies (Endpoint & Teams/Exchange) and the Conditional Access policy. My question is around 'Triggering events', Indicators and Insider Risk Levels. To my understanding, a triggering event is the event that decides when the policy will start assigning risk scores to user activity which will then allow us to then give users risk levels. We have the option to either set this triggering event to either the DLP policies, or when a user performs an exfiltration activity/ sequence. The DLP policies only match activity when a user has a defined risk level and attempts to perform a specific activity i.e. sharing M365 with people outside the organisation. I'm not sure if I'm thinking about this backwards, but if I set my Adaptive protection policy to only start assigning risk scores to user activity when they match a DLP policy, how can they trigger a DLP policy if they wont be assigned a risk level until that scoring begins to happen? Should I be setting my triggering events to be "User performs an Exfiltration Activity" instead of "User Matches a DLP policy"?
Anthropic Claude Purview Data Connector showing all users as Guests..
It appears this connector is not mapping fields properly causing internal users to be mapped as "guests", and since prompts/data isn't maintained for guest users the connector is effectively not gathering anything but noise. Unlike the other data connectors, one cannot create field mappings. Also the app being named using the guid of Microsoft's own "dataassessments" service principal I don't think is intended either. Has anybody else experienced this? See below for an example.Extend Microsoft Purview data protection to AWS Bedrock agents for cross-cloud AI governance
Organizations are moving fast with AI, and many of those AI workloads are not staying in one cloud. A team might use Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Purview for governance and in addition to Microsoft Foundry they may still choose to run an AI agent on AWS Bedrock or on the Google Cloud Platform. The technical challenge is straightforward: how do you keep one consistent set of data security, governance, and compliance controls when the agent itself runs outside Microsoft Azure? This is where Microsoft Purview becomes the central policy engine for your data estate. In this post, we show why that matters and then walk through a practical example: an expense approval agent running on Amazon Bedrock, protected by Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies. ExpenseApprovalAgent" details of the Agent blade Why Purview should be the central policy engine Most organizations do not want separate policy stacks for every cloud, every model endpoint, and every app team. That leads to duplicated controls, inconsistent enforcement, and audit gaps. The better model is to separate where workloads run from where policy decisions are made. That is the value proposition for Microsoft Purview in cross-cloud AI scenarios. Purview gives you: A consistent policy layer for sensitive information types such as credit card numbers, Social Security numbers, financial data, and other regulated content. A governance plane that can extend beyond Microsoft-hosted workloads into multi-cloud environments. A compliance framework with auditability, policy traceability, and a familiar operational model for security and compliance teams. A way to apply data-aware controls to AI interactions, not just to storage locations. In practical terms, that means the same organization that already trusts Purview to govern Exchange, SharePoint, Teams, and Copilot can use Purview to govern prompts and responses in a Bedrock-based agent as well. The key architectural shift is this: your app does not need to invent its own data policy engine. It can call Purview at the points where risk exists. What this Bedrock agent demonstrates The sample solution in this blog is a cross-cloud AI pattern: The frontend is a single-page browser-based chat app. Users authenticate with Microsoft Entra ID via MSAL. The backend runs in AWS Lambda. The model is Amazon Bedrock using Nova 2 Lite. Microsoft Purview evaluates prompts and model responses for DLP policy violations. This matters because it proves a broader point: Microsoft Purview can govern AI interactions even when the model and compute are not running in Azure. The core architecture As shown above the end-to-end flow follows this pattern: A user signs in through Microsoft Entra ID from the frontend. The frontend sends the user's access token and prompt to an API endpoint in AWS. The Lambda function exchanges that token using the On-Behalf-Of flow so Purview can evaluate under the signed-in user's identity. Purview scans the full prompt for sensitive information before the model is called. If the prompt is allowed, the Lambda function sends the request to Amazon Bedrock. Purview scans the model response before it is returned to the user. The frontend shows the result along with a Purview evaluation badge. That gives you two strong governance controls: In-line data loss prevention enforcement, which can block risky requests before they ever reach the model. Response-time enforcement, which can stop sensitive data from being returned even if a model generates it. The implementation also uses the user's identity for policy evaluation. That is important because governance decisions should reflect who is asking, not just what application is running. Why this pattern is useful for security, governance, and compliance teams There are three reasons this pattern is worth paying attention to. First, it aligns policy with risk rather than with hosting location. The compute might run in Lambda and the model might be in Bedrock, but Purview still remains the policy decision point. Second, it improves operational clarity. Security teams do not have to learn a different governance toolchain for each AI stack. They can keep using Purview concepts, policy models, and audit workflows. Third, it supports real-world adoption. Most large enterprises are hybrid and multi-cloud already. A governance pattern that only works for one vendor's runtime is not enough. Policy definition in Purview Two polices are needed to enforce DLP-a collection policy for Enterprise AI Apps and a DLP policy Collection policy 2. DLP policy Follow the steps outlined here to create the DLP policy for Enterprise AI Apps. Sample provided: purview-api-samples/DLPforCustomAIApps at main · microsoft/purview-api-samples To replicate this scenario, follow this link to the official GitHub repo: purview-api-samples/AWSBedrock at main · microsoft/purview-api-samples Once deployed, you will have: An AWS Lambda function that calls Amazon Bedrock. A browser frontend that authenticates with Microsoft Entra ID. Microsoft Purview evaluating both prompts and responses. A demo flow where safe prompts succeed and sensitive prompts are blocked. With the App and agent deployed, now comes the moment when the architectural value becomes clear. The model runtime is AWS Bedrock, but the policy decision is still coming from Microsoft Purview. Below screenshot shows the prompt containing sensitive information being blocked based on the policy evaluation by Purview. Minimal code integration requirements using the SDK Below is the code needed to perform the integration between Purview and Bedrock to perform the in and outbound inspection of content destined to and from the Bedrock model. Results of Purview’s verdict presented to user in the App UI Review governance evidence in Purview Data Security Posture Management Summary The bigger story here is not just that Microsoft Purview can protect an Amazon Bedrock agent. It is that organizations can centralize data security, governance, and compliance policy even while their AI architecture becomes more distributed across multiple clouds. That is the operational win. Developers keep the freedom to choose the best runtime and model platform. Security and compliance teams keep a central policy engine they already understand and trust. AI applications can be multi-cloud, but your data protection model does not have to be fragmented.

Managed VNET Integration Runtime failing with 502 error.
Good afternoon everyone. I'm a DevOps Engineer who is new to Purview. I used Terraform to deploy a Purview account for a POC for a client, however, I'm having a real issue creating a Managed VNET IR. The private endpoints are all visible and approved and if I check in the shell I can see the IR and the Managed VNET both exist (names sanitized). { "name": "SAMPLENAME", "properties": { "managedVirtualNetwork": { "referenceName": "ManagedVnet-name" }, "typeProperties": { "computeProperties": { "location": "WestEurope" } } } } But in the Purview portal the status shows as failed and if I try update it, I get a popup notification stating that the process timed out due to a 502 error. The URL in the error is " https://api.purview-service.microsoft.com/scan/integrationRuntimes/{NAME}?api-version=2022-02-01-preview" I thought this might be an issue with permissions or that I'm not in the admin role group in my client environment so I did the same process in my local purview account (where I'm global admin and in the Purview Administrators role group) and I'm having exactly the same problem. The managed vnet and IR exist when queried in the cloud shell but the state in the portal shows as failed. I am a "Data source Admin" in both purview accounts but I'm wondering if there's some other role assignment or role group assignment that I'm missing? Thanks in advance. Devon Britton.
Purview DLP Behaviours in Outlook Desktop
We are currently testing Microsoft Purview DLP policies for user awareness, where sensitive information shared externally triggers a policy tip, with override allowed (justification options enabled) and no blocking action configured. We are observing the following behaviours in Outlook Desktop: Inconsistent policy tip display (across Outlook Desktop Windows clients) – For some users, the policy tip renders correctly, while for others it appears with duplicated/stacked lines of text. This is occurring across users with similar configurations. Override without justification – Users are able to click “Send Anyway/Confirm and send” without selecting any justification option (e.g. business justification, manager approval, etc.), which bypasses the intended control. New Outlook: Classic Outlook: This has been observed on Outlook Desktop (Microsoft 365 Apps), including: Version 2602 (Build 19725.20170 Click-to-Run) Version 2602 (Build 16.0.19725.20126 MSO) Has anyone experienced similar behaviour with DLP policy tips or override enforcement in Outlook Desktop? Keen to understand if this is a known issue or if there are any recommended fixes or workarounds.
