The Microsoft 365 Security Audit Logs offer a detailed view of user activities, including interactions with Copilot, even when the organization’s anonymization settings are enabled. Here’s how this works. ## Get Copilot Usage with Graph Reports ...

Delegate365 faced significant challenges in managing license data reports due to its daily storage practices. The root cause was the accumulation of an excessive amount of license data over the years, which exceeded the available resources. So we changed that and the License Aggregation Report in Delegate365 got an update. What Happened Recently, several users encountered a “Query Timeout - operations failed” error when generating a report in menu Licenses / License Aggregation. The system recorded license data for all Organizational Units (OUs) every day, resulting in the accumulation of hundreds to thousands of rows daily. Over time, this practice led to the creation of millions of rows in the database. Consequently, the Delegate365 client struggled to process this vast amount of data efficiently. ...

In Delegate365, there exist two methods to configure Multi Factor Authentication (MFA) for users: the functions “Authentication methods (MFA)”, and “MFA (Legacy)”. See the difference here, and how to disable the “MFA (Legacy)” feature. Authentication Methods (MFA): This is Microsoft’s modern MFA setting method. Delegate365 allows you to remove authentication methods for a user, so the user will have to reconfigure their MFA if they are removed. MFA (Legacy): This method is deprecated, which is why we called it “Legacy.” It requires a service account without MFA to work, and will stop working after March 2025, see Important update: Deprecation of Azure AD PowerShell and MSOnline PowerShell modules. Therefore, this feature is only present for historical reasons. If it is not needed, we recommend disabling it as below. ...
