Monday morning

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Oh it’s going to be a good week, I can tell. How? Here’s the omens:

I was greeted by a fellow employee’s questions about his home computer first thing this morning. Really, FIRST thing. Before I had even gotten to my office, let alone turned on my computer. Literally while I was walking down the hall with my laptop bag over my shoulder and key to my office in my hand, this person was hitting me with computer questions. Then, when I finally did settle into my office and turn my PC on, I was greeted by an email with a .pif attachment claiming to be from support@microsoft.com. Nice try, but I’ll be deleting that. Let’s hope anyone else in the building who got it did the same…

I’m ready to go back to bed.

    One Huge Challenge with M365 for Admins – An Example

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 3 minutes

    It’s a huge challenge. We have no control over updates, and Microsoft is increasingly releasing new features before they build out the compliance tools that would allow us to manage them. As Tony pointed out above, agents may have critical impacts on current security and data privacy work. No matter, it’s coming. Figure it out. 

    As I mentioned during the ILTA session last month, I don’t see how organizations will function without a dedicated staff to monitor and communicate changes. Consider just how much work is involved in understanding Copilot and all of the compliance issues surrounding the use of AI, then consider how fast Microsoft is rolling out new Copilot features. It’s been a moving target since day one. 

    It’s only a small part of the M365 environment.

    Hmm, I just went and grabbed that update of Mozilla and noticed something quite odd, the pop-up manager tool is gone in this version!?!? Anyone else find that? Follow these topics: Uncategorized
