Unexpected Service Principal Additions After Purview Label Schema Migration
Hi everyone, I recently migrated our Microsoft Purview label schema in our tenant and noticed some interesting audit log entries right after the migration. Specifically, Entra ID recorded Add service principal actions for: Microsoft Edge management service Purview Ecosystem (https://api.purview.microsoft.com) Both events were logged under my admin account, with the User-Agent showing kiota-dotnet/1.16.4, which suggests an automated process or Microsoft Graph SDK interaction. Here are some details: Operation: Add service principal Result: Success Tags: disableLegacyUserImpersonationClient, disableLegacyUserImpersonationResource, and for Purview: GitCreatedApp Triggered at: The exact time I completed the label schema migration. My question: Is this expected behavior when migrating Purview label schemas? Are these service principals required for Purview and Edge management integration? Any best practices to confirm these additions are legitimate and secure? Thanks in advance for your insights! Best regards Stephan56Views1like1CommentSensitivity Labels and CoPilot - "No AI"
As a Purview Administrator, I recently received a request that might resonate with many of you: add a “No AI” designation to every sublabel we have. Why? Because our contracts and EULAs explicitly state that certain documents must not be used with AI tools. This raises an important question: What’s the best way to implement this without creating unnecessary complexity? The Challenge If we simply append “NoAI” to every existing label and sublabel, we end up duplicating our entire labeling structure. For example, if you follow Microsoft’s guidance on default sensitivity labels and policies, doing this “times two” for every label and sublabel is clearly not scalable. How do you deploy it?

Hi everyone, i created a 1st aid hotline for one of our bigger branches. The goal is to call the hotline - it rings at 20 ppl at once. The first to answer is the 1st aider. But we are also using "Focus time" to block time slots. I added the hotline to my priority contacts and disabled "busy on busy" but the call does not get through. As this is a life saving procedure i need to make sure that all call come through. It does not matter if you are presenting, in a meeting or sitting on the toilet with only your phone. Can someone help me out which setting i should make? The branch is in Germany and normally the hotline will be called from mobile.

I think thats a great step forward. Do you know any companies with storage issues (40-50TB over their allowed storage) and how it helped them to bring it down? I cannot find any argument to not turn it on - but i need some insights.112Views0likes0CommentsRe: Export to Excel - wrong and shortened titles
Anyone can relate / have the same problems?: We are looking to replace other polling tools and recommend using Forms for broader usage. Recently, we conducted a "Likert" poll, but the Excel export was unusable. The questions were not in the same order as they appeared in the Form. Even after deleting the Excel file from OneDrive and letting it recreate, the issue persisted. Additionally, some titles were shortened. For example: Likert topic: Share your event feedback (e.g., how was the food, the beverages, etc.) Food: Great, Ok, I was hungry However, in the Excel export, the title of this row was: Share your event feedback (e.g., how was the food, the beverages, and soFormsID4 This made it impossible to see which statement was being answered. What are the limitations here?60Views0likes0CommentsBoss and assistant - best practices to manage mail/tasks/documents from one view
Hi everyone, i am searching for best practice for an assistant / boss work. Aim: The boss has a single view of the tasks he has to do or what others need to deliver. No copy and paste of mail topics, files, or other stuff Sync of "done" flags from mails into the task board As "To Do" is only looking into the primary mail account of a user account - this is not the solution. But it is basically what i want. A shared Todo list where you can prioritize tasks. How to achieve that with MS Tools (E5 license)? Do i need PowerAutomate and MS Lists?

Hi all, we want to get rid of other polling tools and recommend Forms for broader usage. We now had a "Likert" poll that caused the Excel export to be unusable. The questions were not in the same order as they were in the Form (deleted the Excel from Onedrive and let it recreate did not solve this) Also some titles were shortened like: Likert topic: Share your event feedback (e.g. how was the food, the beverages and so on) Food: Great, Ok, i was hungry But in the excel export the title of this row was: Share your event feedback (e.g. how was the food, the beverages and soFormsID4 So it was impossible to see what statement was answered to.

Hi everyone, i am working for an IT department and received the following incident. I wanted to bring up an issue we've been experiencing with the audio quality of board videos when played on SharePoint. Locally, the videos play perfectly fine, but once uploaded to the SPO, we notice frequent clicking sounds that significantly affect the audio quality. Details: The audio issues seem to occur randomly and are not consistent across all videos. We are following the rules for encoding - Video formats you can play on Microsoft 365 - Microsoft Support MP4 1080p - 5Mbps, Audio AAC 192Kbps - Encoder is Adobe Premiere If you download the file locally there is no clicking - it is only in the Streaming web player Has anyone else experienced similar issues with the web player and .mp4 files? We would appreciate any insights or suggestions on how to resolve this issue. Looking forward to any advice from the community.

Hi, We want to create a test environment to avoid "system wide" settings deploy to production without testing them first (e.g. Kerberos Enforcement or Entra Sync Settings) We would use Windows Trial licenses and Entra Connect to connect to a Testtenant. How must we license this test environment to be compliant with MS licensing? Some say it's Trial and not production "you do not have to". Others say we need to license "like Prod". Can anyone (preferably a Microsoft employee) help with this question? BR StephanWhere and how is AI used in Defender XDR?
Hi everyone, i was searching for an overview of where and AI is used in Defender XDR. Do you have a quick oversight of this? That would be great. Also how this data is used for training and decisions. I know it is used in Attack disruption and Copilot for Security ( ;) ) - but i need a complete list. BR StephanPassword changes of users not tracked by MDI / not in table
I was trying to create a KQL query for password changes/resets of users they did not initiate themselves. But after searching the table IdentityDirectoryEvents - i only see device password changes. I checked the "Audit Sessions" for the OU the users reside - it is set to audit success for "change password". Also the test-mdiprereq show green. It is a real "threat" that should be able to hunt - i am not sure what i miss here175Views0likes1Comment
