Unable to read Groups when using Azure Claims?

Just a quick post.

I notice that one of my Entra ID app’s was not able to read the groups of the user logging in.

I check the API permissions, but that was not it.

I had to change he groupMembershipClaims value in the Manifest:

PowerShell command which I missed:

Set-AzureADApplication -ObjectId $app.ObjectId -GroupMembershipClaims "SecurityGroup"

Lessons Learned from developing Custom AI Models

As someone who has been regularly creating different AI models in Azure AI and developing Copilots via Copilot Studio for businesses who are moving to becoming 'AI Native' - I've gathered insights through my experiences and learning and would love to share them. During these developments, deployments, and tests, I've identified several key lessons learned that may assist others on their own journey.

Are you an AI Native business?

An AI-native business seamlessly integrates artificial intelligence into its core operations and strategies. Unlike traditional businesses that may use AI as an add-on, AI-native businesses make AI central to their processes, leveraging it to drive enhanced data, trend and analysis data decision-making, optimize workflows and processes, and enhance customer experiences.

These businesses utilize AI to improve efficiency, gain insights from data, and automate tasks, making AI a fundamental component of their competitive edge and overall strategy.

Is your business AI Native?

Lessons Learned
  1. Clearly Define Goals, Audience, Purpose, Boundaries, and Measures: Before starting any AI project, having a well-defined goal and target audience is paramount. Understand your target audience, the purpose of the model, the boundaries within which it will operate, and the metrics you will use to measure its success. This clarity ensures the project stays on track and delivers meaningful results.
  2. Garbage In, Garbage Out: Ensure Data Quality: ️➡️ The quality of your AI model is directly related to the quality of the data you feed it. Ensure your data is as complete, accurate, and relevant as possible. Clean, well-structured data is the foundation of a robust and reliable model.
  3. Iterate and Validate Continuously: ✅ Developing AI models, especially generative and computer vision models, is an iterative process. Continuously validate your model against real-world data and scenarios. Regular testing and refinement help identify and rectify issues early, leading to a more reliable and efficient model.
  4. Expect the Unexpected: ⚠️ AI development is often unpredictable. Be prepared for unexpected challenges and surprises. Flexibility and adaptability are key to navigating the complexities and nuances of AI projects.
  5. Build an Open-Minded and Visionary Team: Having a team that, while they may not understand all the details of AI and its complexities, are open-minded, grounded, and have a vision of how they want their part to look is crucial. A team with a clear vision can drive innovation and provide valuable perspectives.
  6. Establish a Framework for Conversations: ️ Set up a framework to guide conversations around input, output, and outcomes in relation to the AI models and vision. This structure helps ensure that discussions are productive, focused, and aligned with the project's goals.
  7. Develop Using Integrations and Check Against KPIs/Expectations: It's important to develop AI models with integrations in mind and regularly check against key performance indicators (KPIs) and expectations. This ensures the model performs as intended within the broader ecosystem and meets the desired objectives.

These lessons have been pivotal in my journey and have significantly contributed to the success of my projects and the quality of output from the AI models.

Happy Model creating!

Best Practices, Tips, and Tricks for a Successful Migration with the SharePoint Migration Tool (SPMT)

As businesses evolve, migrating content from local, server-based file shares and on-prem SharePoint systems to SharePoint Online and Microsoft 365 becomes crucial.

The SharePoint Migration Tool (SPMT) provided by Microsoft is an excellent resource for this process. However, it's not the only choice, I want to call out in particular ShareGate, which is a great product for very complex situations and offers much more than just migration aspects, it's a great tool, but this article focuses on the use of SPMT.

Drawing from recent migration projects over the last several weeks and months (several million files & folders and several terabytes), I've gathered a collection of best practices, tips, and tricks to ensure a smooth and efficient migration.

Big shoutout to Ami Diamond [MVP], Mary Marete, ⭐️ Anthony Gouder ⭐️ , Andrew O'Young and everyone for the chats over the last several weeks as I have been migrating inspiring me to write this article!

Preparing File Shares

  • Prepping Data: Preparing the file shares is the bulk of the work. Restructure as necessary, archive what needs to be archived, and remove unnecessary files. Engage users in this process, as they are familiar with the data and its relevance.
  • Set a Date Limit: Decide on a cut-off date for the data to be migrated. Anything before this date should not be moved unless it’s absolutely necessary. This helps in reducing the volume and complexity of the migration.
  • Permissions Setup: Configure permissions in SharePoint in advance of the migration to ensure a smooth transition.
  • Target and Source Mapping: Plan the mapping of your target and source to separate sites, libraries, and folders. Avoid migrating all files into a single library.

Optimize Your Migration Server

  • Proximity Matters: Use a server to install and use SPMT on as close to the data sources/file shares as possible, ideally on the same network. This ensures network speed between the migration server and the file servers. While it can be the same server, be cautious of disk I/O performance.
  • Disk Space: Ensure the migration server has as much space plus 20% as your largest migration task. This gives SPMT plenty of room to work with.
  • Disk and Network Speeds: Faster disk speeds enable quicker scanning and bundling, while faster upload streams expedite sending data to Microsoft 365.

Managing SPMT's Working Folder

  • Clean Up: Always change the working folder of SPMT, check it, and clear it out between tasks. SPMT requires a copy of the data to work with, so maintaining a clean working folder is essential.

Handling Migration Tasks

  • Task Size: Keep migration tasks small and manageable. Simplicity often leads to fewer complications and faster execution.

Pre-Migration Scans

  • Content Scan: Conduct a basic content scan to identify and limit any illegal characters or issues from the constraints of SharePoint Online, Teams, or OneDrive for Business.
  • Migration Scan: Perform a migration scan to detect more illegal file types, such as ASCII characters and leading spaces in filenames.
  • Final Migration Scan: This captures all of the above plus additional anomalies like files with NULL content, which may not be detected by initial scans.

Team Collaboration and Clear Framework

  • Great Team: Having a dedicated and competent team is crucial. Ensure everyone involved understands their roles and responsibilities. Their expertise and support are invaluable throughout the migration process.
  • Buy-In and Clear Expectations: Secure buy-in from all stakeholders and set clear expectations from the start. Establish a well-defined framework and roadmap to guide the migration. This helps in aligning everyone's efforts and ensuring a coordinated approach.

Expect the Unexpected

  • Unanticipated Issues: Be prepared for unexpected challenges. Questions about the data will arise, and you will need to solve these on the fly. Flexibility and problem-solving skills are key to handling these situations effectively.
  • Stakeholder Engagement: Engage stakeholders and users regularly to address any queries or concerns about the data. Their insights can help resolve issues quickly and keep the migration on track.

Additional Tips

  • Clear Communication: Keep stakeholders informed throughout the process. Clear communication helps in setting expectations and addressing any issues promptly.
  • Monitoring and Logging: Regularly monitor the migration process and maintain logs. This will help in troubleshooting any issues that arise and ensuring a seamless migration.

These practices, born from experience, have proven to be highly effective in managing migrations with the SPMT. I hope you find these insights helpful and invite you to share your experiences and tips in the comments below.

End of support reminder for SharePoint 2016 and SharePoint 2019

It may be hard to believe, but SharePoint Server 2019 reached the end of Mainstream Support on January 9th of this year and is now in Extended Support. This means that it's no longer eligible to receive non-security quality updates. Going forward, it's only eligible to receive security updates.

In fact, the end of support for SharePoint Server 2016 and SharePoint Server 2019 is just over 2 years away. On July 14, 2026, both of these products will reach end of support. After that date, these products will no longer be eligible to receive support of any kind, including security updates.

If you're currently using either of these products, now is the perfect time to start thinking about your future. There are two paths forward to remain supported:

  1. Migrate to SharePoint in Microsoft 365, which is our recommended approach. SharePoint in Microsoft 365 is our premier SharePoint experience and gives customers access to all of the latest productivity, security, and usability investments that Microsoft is making now and in the future.
  2. Upgrade to SharePoint Server Subscription Edition, which is the latest version of SharePoint Server. SharePoint Server Subscription Edition is based on our modern engineering and support lifecycle, which means we'll continue to introduce new feature experiences and capabilities for it on a regular basis through feature updates, focusing on security and key customer scenarios. Note that while we'll continue to make investments in SharePoint Server Subscription Edition, the scope of those investments will be much smaller compared to SharePoint in Microsoft 365, so the feature gap between them will only increase over time. For this reason, we encourage customers to migrate what they can to SharePoint in Microsoft 365 and only keep what they must in SharePoint Server Subscription Edition.

Microsoft Publisher end of life–October 2026

Crying inside Blank Template - Imgflip

imageIn October 2026, Microsoft Publisher will reach its end of life.

After that time, it will no longer be included in Microsoft 365 and existing on-premises suites will no longer be supported.

Until then, support for Publisher will continue and users can expect the same experience as today.

This is sad news, as a user of Microsoft Publisher of some odd 30 years it will be missed, but the features are very much throughout the other Office applications, very much so with PowerPoint and Designer. (Could this trigger a rename of PowerPoint in the future?)

Full details from Microsoft can be found at https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/office/microsoft-publisher-will-no-longer-be-supported-after-october-2026-ee6302a2-4bc7-4841-babf-8e9be3acbfd7

Using AI to go back in my family history and bring my ancestors to life

image

I am delighted to share a fascinating project I've been immersed in lately, which combined several passions of mine - Ancient History, History, Family Tree - and AI! (This is a cool one and worth the read)

TL;DR: Using AI, I got it to generate 48 ancestors, using the most common names, average lifespan and take into account things such as the Saxon wars, crusades, plagues, famines, etc – Then I used AI to create images of my ancestors, bring them to life on a whole new level. It’s also in ancestry.com

Leveraging the power of AI, I have been able “extended” my family tree back beyond any records I can obtain, tracing it all the way back to 800AD.

In essence, I created a *representative* family tree branch that spans 48 generations.

But here's where it gets truly interesting: historical events, names, lifespans, environmental events and other real factors and events have been incorporated into the details by AI.

By using historical data, my own DNA history, and factors like average lifespans, most common names, location names, and significant events such as the black plague, various crusades, the Saxon wars and make up of my DNA over time - AI created a list of names, birth dates, life spans and a description of each individual.

But that's not all! Thanks to AI's incredible capabilities, I've brought these ancestors to life in a whole new way! Using Microsoft Bing Create, I used the brief description of the individual, combined with the most common clothing of the time to generated realistic images of each ancestor.

It's truly remarkable to see faces from the past taking shape before my eyes!

This project not only sheds light on my family's heritage but also showcases the incredible potential of AI in historical research and storytelling. From generating accurate data to visualizing the past, AI has opened endless possibilities in understanding and preserving our collective history.

Is it 100% accurate? No – but its not intended to – and truth be told, I will most likely never know the truth of my ancestry for this length of time, in this kind of detail (This is where AI can kick in!). Is it close enough? Yes.

I'm thrilled to share this journey with you all and look forward to exploring more AI-driven coolness in the future!

Ragnar's Description:


Ragnar was born in Scandinavia the year 778. He grew up as a farmer and warrior and took part in raids along the English coast.

In 802, Ragnar married Gunnhild, and they had three children: Thyra (born 803), Harald (born 806), and Astrid (born 809).

Ragnar and his family left Denmark in 820 and settled in the ancient city of Eoforwic (York), England.

The children, Thyra, Harald, and Astrid grew up hearing tales of their ancestors' conquests. They embraced their Viking heritage and inherited their parents' courage and loyalty, while also adopting the culture of their new homeland, one which would last for almost 50 generations.

SharePoint Add-In retirement in Microsoft 365

thumbnail image 1 of blog post titled                                              SharePoint Add-In retirement in Microsoft 365

SharePoint Add-Ins will stop working for new tenants as of November 1st, 2024 and they will stop working for existing tenants and will be fully retired as of April 2nd, 2026. This applies to all environments including Government Clouds and Department of Defense.

In parallel with the SharePoint Add-In retirement, adding, updating and acquiring SharePoint Add-Ins via the public marketplace (a.k.a. store) will also be retiring. As of March 1st, 2024 Microsoft will not accept new SharePoint Add-Ins for listing in the public marketplace, from July 1st, 2024 SharePoint Add-Ins cannot be acquired anymore from the public marketplace. Using a tenant app catalog will stay supported and enables 3rd parties to offer their SharePoint Add-Ins until April 2nd, 2026.

Breaking down the timeline:

  • March 1, 2024: Microsoft stops accepting new SharePoint add-ins in the store
  • July 24, 2024: Existing add-ins can no longer be installed from the store
  • November 2024: New tenants are unable to use add-ins.
  • April 2026: SharePoint add-ins cease to function entirely.

Assessment Tool

Microsoft to provide an assessment tool on how the SharePoint Add-in are being used within a Tenant and people are engorged to use this to gain insights into their current add-ins, usage and landscape.

Recommended Migration – SPFX

The recommended migration for SharePoint Addins is to use the SharePoint Framework (SPFX) to replace the AddIns
