Hi All,

Over Christmas i’ve read about the “Microsoft MCP Server for Enterprise” that is currently in Preview

• MS Learn Overview of Microsoft MCP Server for Enterprise (preview)

Setup

There is good Guidance on how to set it up here:

• Get started with the Microsoft MCP Server for Enterprise

You will need to install the Microsoft.Entra.Beta PowerShell Module

• PowerShell Gallery Microsoft.Entra.Beta

Hi All,

Last Week was the Ignite Conference - the biggest Conference from Microsoft. And a lot of new Announcements where made.

I’ve seen Pictures of the M365 Copilot Researcher Agent with Claude LMM - but that’s a Function the Global Admin has to enable first.

• Use Claude with Researcher in Microsoft 365 Copilot

Note: Your admin must allow access to Anthropic AI models in the Microsoft 365 admin center before you can use Claude in Researcher. Anthropic AI models are hosted outside of Microsoft and subject to Anthropic Terms and Data handling.

Hi All,

Do you know Microsoft Designer?

The Microsoft Designer app is a graphic design tool in Microsoft 365 that allows users to create custom invitations, digital postcards, and other materials using the same artificial intelligence technology as DALL-E 2.

More information can be found here: What Is Microsoft Designer and How To Use It

I am using currently my Microsoft Account (Private Account) to log into Microsoft Designer.

It’s a free “Text to Image” Artificial Intelligence System that is based on DALL-E 2
