Golden Path for Education - Part 1a
What is Golden Path Golden Path was developed to simplify and enhance the security of deploying a Microsoft 365 tenant solution in education. It consists of three stages: Stage 1: Deployment Guides are available online at Golden Path. This stage includes: Baseline - Stage 1a Standard - Stage 1b Advanced - Stage 1c Stage 2: A Discovery/Assessment AI tool is used to expose the tenant's configuration and analyze it against the tenant's license configurations, tenant and service settings, Microsoft's general education recommendations, and customer requirements. Stage 3: Drift Configuration management helps understand changes made against the established configuration in the tenant. These changes can be reversed or modified before any breaches or irregularities create problems. Goals and Objectives for Golden Path Goals Develop prescriptive deployment guides that provide a centralized resource with education-specific scenarios to assist organizations in defining, managing, and organizing their tenant and appropriate applications. Reduce the overall complexity of tenant and service deployment. Establish baseline recommended pathways to facilitate a common and agreed-upon configuration based on subject-matter experts. Utilize AI technology to uncover and compare recommended settings against user requirements based on documented configurations. Implement phased configurations to aid customers and partners in understanding what they may not know or should consider during discovery to meet customer expectations. Highlight unused features and products to ensure customers fully leverage the potential and benefits of their purchased product licenses. Identify opportunities for partner participation in achieving customer goals and expectations based on customer requirements and Golden Path findings. Create an easy pathway for customer change management to enhance control, security, compliance, and privacy of tenants. Develop custom assessments to evaluate product entry for items such as Copilot, Defender, Purview, Intune, Zero-Trust, and Microsoft Entra ID. Objectives Deliver information for features available (used/unused) to users based on license model. Prescriptive recommendations based on education scenarios. - Present upgrade license opportunities from A1 to A3 to A5. Security analysis exposing gaps and issues proactively to allow modifications before it's too late. Promote partner access to customers that have defined gaps based on assessments and are requesting partner assistance. Better discovery and assessment analysis with new tools. Designed to be more self-serving customer and partner access management. Speed up user adoption for educators and IT Admins alike. Baseline Stage 1a Baseline is stage 1a in the overall development of the Golden Path for Education. It is based on a majority of licenses within the tenant at the Microsoft 365 A1 for Education level. It also is a set of recommendations for ALL Microsoft Education tenants. Navigation Golden Path has three folders in the navigations. Golden Path Baseline References Golden Path folder consist of the Golden Path overall review. It goes over the entire program and the how and why it is built. Currently there are two pages, Golden Path overview and Baseline Overview.

Along with security compliance/privacy considerations that are established to adhere to a multitude of local and government requirements worldwide. Overview Step 1 - Security Considerations Devices Managed and unmanaged devices are another key to helping secure the network and potential cyber-security considerations that enter the network via these devices. Overview Step 1 - Review device management structure Step 2 - Plan device management Step 3 - Configure settings and applications Step 4 - Deploy and manage devices Windows 11 features and tips References menu Mulit-tenant solutions - Architectural recommendations base on multi or large tenant solutions. Accessibility Deploy Office 365 applications Pooled storage management How do you use Golden Path? Golden Path uses deployment guidelines content that contain education scenario specifics. Golden Path has a linked path for each modules based on the phase (Baseline,Standard,Advanced). Users can follow the deployment content to establish or redefine the tenant configuration in order to enable additional services and products. What’s Next Go to https://aka.ms/gp4edu to access the first part of Golden Path. Part 1b (Standard -A3 content) NEXT Part 1c (Advanced – A5 content) Part 2 - We will create a mechanism to discover the tenant configuration settings and allow customers and partners the ability to qualify what is set to standard recommendation. Using AI to deliver user requirements against the configuration will allow additional paths to enable services and features that allow the user/customer to achieve their objectives. Part 3 – Deliver drift management solution for management of unrealized or understood changes that need to be approved or modified.GET STARTED WITH POWER AUTOMATE

Rapid prototyping using PowerApps (Mixed Reality) + SPO API/Python + Solidworks & Dremel 3D45.
Here's a quick view of rapid prototyping, from CAD design to 3D printing/running a motor assembly: 1. Design components in CAD (Solidworks). 2. Import file into Power Apps & visualize, check form/fit with housing using the Mixed Reality feature. 3. 3D print (Dremel 3D45) & run system with PowerApps + SPOl API & Python coder (easy IOT). Massive opportunity for graduate students and design engineers. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/sanjiv-venkatram_aseansmsbizappsug-aseansmswomenintech-powerapps-activity-6800953732071874560-PfDtDynamic calibration (rand func./looping in PowerApps) of devices using PowerApps & other MS tech.
Greetings friends, hope you & family are well. Here's a quick view of doing semi automated calibration of devices (BLDC motor here) using the Rand() func. (pseudo random # generator) in PowerApps and a for loop. The inputs serve as a "shock" to the system and one can observe system response. We take the output to Azure ML/Excel to get the calibration curves (diminishing returns in this case).
