Does Microsoft 365 Copilot Agent Builder support OCR and image analysis for SharePoint?
Hello everyone, I am currently testing a Microsoft 365 Copilot Agent Builder agent that is grounded on SharePoint document libraries. During testing, I observed that the agent can successfully analyze and generate responses from text-based documents such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF, CSV, and TXT files. However, when folders contain image-based files (JPG/PNG), the agent sometimes reports incomplete analysis or is unable to extract information from those files. I would appreciate clarification on the following: Does Microsoft 365 Copilot Agent Builder officially support OCR (Optical Character Recognition) for JPG and PNG files stored in SharePoint? Can Agent Builder natively analyze image-based content, or is this capability only available through Copilot Studio with additional AI services? Are there any documented limitations regarding image processing compared to text-based document processing? Has anyone successfully implemented a SharePoint-grounded Agent Builder solution that can reliably analyze scanned images, photographs, or image-based documents? If OCR/image analysis is not currently supported, is there a recommended Microsoft solution or architecture for achieving this requirement?What it looks like: Trusted, compliant AI systems at scale

I published a short video for end users who are asking a practical Copilot question: Can employers see deleted Copilot chats? The question usually starts when users see the “Permanently delete chat?” warning in Copilot. That warning can be easy to misunderstand, especially in work or school accounts where workplace policies may still apply. The video explains this in plain language, including: What users should understand before deleting Copilot chats Why Temporary Chat needs a closer look Why deleted from your view may not mean the same thing in a workplace account What users should avoid typing into Copilot at work Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/ND9Cdp5h9rs?si=FyBkInRHpVgc_x1I Supporting article: https://traccreations4e.com/can-employers-see-deleted-copilot-chats/ Related deletion guide: https://traccreations4e.com/copilot-delete-chat-history/ traccreations4e-p26 6/8/2026
SCCM PXE Boot Deep Dive – Backend Flow & DP Migration
SCCM PXE Boot Deep Dive – Backend Flow & DP Migration I recently worked on a Distribution Point migration and noticed PXE requests were still routing to the old DP due to DHCP/IP helper configuration. I put together a deep dive explaining: PXE flow (DHCP and TFTP sequence) Role of Distribution Points What changes during DP migration Common failure points One key takeaway: PXE issues are almost always network and routing related, not SCCM itself. Curious how others are handling PXE in large environments. Are you standardizing on IP helpers or still using DHCP options?

Apologies for repeated prompts – account works but restricted / Cuenta ok pero restringida
Hola, mi cuenta fue marcada por una infracción de “Abuso de la plataforma” en M365 Copilot. Ya verifiqué con soporte de inicio de sesión y confirmaron que no hay problemas con mi cuenta. Sin embargo, sigo experimentando errores y desconexiones al usar Copilot. ¿Alguien del equipo de Microsoft puede ayudarme a revisar este bloqueo o indicarme cómo apelar la restricción? Este problema me impide usar Copilot con normalidad. Utilicé un promt una y otra vez intentado hacer una gráfica de pastel y la IA estuvo "alucinando" datos. Intenté tanto que me enojé. Me disculpo. Gracias. Hello, My account was flagged for a “Platform abuse” violation in M365 Copilot. I have already contacted sign-in support, and they confirmed that there are no issues with my account. However, I am still experiencing errors and disconnections when using Copilot. Could someone from the Microsoft team help review this restriction or guide me on how to appeal it? This issue is preventing me from using Copilot normally. I used a prompt over and over trying to make a pie chart and the AI was 'hallucinating' data. I tried so much that I got angry. I apologize. Thank you. Puedes responder en inglés o español, gracias. | You can respond in English or Spanish, thank you.

We have some questions/concerns from customers about the (dis)like functionality in Copilot Chat. The main question is: "What happens with the data/chat when using this functionality? And can we turn it of?". Let's break it down in some sub questions: 1.) What happens when you use this? Does it train the model? Adjust it responses to the user? 2.) MS will use it as feedback. In what way? Do they read the chat and/or content from to analyze the issue? 3.) Is it possible to disable this functionality for all users in the tenant? (Copilot Studio allows this for a custom agent). 4.) Is the behavior different for License and non-licensed users? (work vs web) This is mainly a security concern, because some customers don't allow data to leave the tenant or don't want to have risk for accidental data leaks.
