Regarding Existing Microsoft Applications for End-to-End Operational Management
I would like to inquire whether Microsoft offers any pre-built, production-ready applications—preferably within the Dynamics 365 ecosystem—that are currently in use by customers and proven to be stable, which support the following functionalities: Work Order Management Operational Management Production Planning and Control Resource Management Asset Management Quality Management Inventory Management Barcode Scanning for real-time job tracking (start/finish) Profitability and Financial Reporting Hours Variation Analysis( Planned Vs Actual) Cost Variation Analysis( Planned Vs Actual) We are seeking a solution that integrates these capabilities into a unified platform, ideally with real-time data capture and reporting features. If such a solution exists, we would appreciate details regarding its availability, deployment options, licensing, and customer success stories.

Adding a room/resource as a staff member to Bookings
Is it possible to add a room/resource at Bookings as a staff member? We're trying to setup a booking page where people can book a service (e.g. a meeting) in room (i.e. a room setup as a staff member). When creating a new staff member I get the option to add any of the rooms/resources in the "add people" field. This ticks the "events on office 365 affect availability" option. However after I save the staff member and go back into the record, it now shows as a "guest" (where it originally was "viewer") and the "events on office 365 affect availability" option is no longer ticked and greyed out as an option. Is there a way to do this? Or do "staff" have to be real users to sync availability?
Exporting Project - Resource Usage table with phased time data to excel
Hi Experts, Is there a way to export tasks to excel while retaining the phased time cost data? In an ideal world I would like to export this info and for it to look like this in excel: Export wizard is not doing the trick. Good old copy paste is copying the Resource list, but not the time phase. Any ideas?

Windows Server 2022 resource balancing and management
Hello, We are planning to buy a large Windows Server 2022 server and use it in a multi-user setting (up to 8 parallel users) to run an open service of bioimage analysis. The server we picked is a dual-CPU AMD 7763 (64 cores each) with 2 TB RAM, 2x A40 GPU and a very fast local scratch storage. The users will basically connect to the server from one of the Windows sessions through RDP. We have two open questions regarding resource balancing and management: - How can we limit the usage of the hardware resource per user? In a basic setting: 256 GB RAM, 16 CPU cores and 1/4 GPU cores and GPU memory per user. If GPU sharing is not possible, we could probably have 4 smaller GPUs instead and 1/2 of the sessions without GPU access (if RDP is still possible). - How can we force that all users from any Windows session share exactly the same software stack and "freeze" all sessions so that for instance the icons on the desktop cannot be altered, no software installed and in general nothing can be modified from the OS partition? Ideally, any admin software installation / update should also be reflected to all users and we want to avoid local Windows user profiles since all relevant data will exclusively be read and written to the scratch local storage and external storage (mountable partition). Thanks in advance for your help, S.
What's the best way to graphically view resource utilisation in Project?
Long time P6 user, looking for something similar to this in MSP... A list of all my resources, against their utilisation in graphical (not tablature) form I've tried Resource Graph, but that seems like you have to scroll around to see the resources - i cant select more than one resource to see cumulative Any suggestions appreciated David
