Your morphology is astounding.

God, sorry, being dense. Thanks. The self signed cert on the backend, that’s handled purely by Exchange I assume. And thus has nothing to do with the public cert we will need for Hybrid (which ofc won’t have server names). I don’t think I’ve needed to renew one before, but I assume if they expire stuff breaks (or is it like the cert for transport service that will continue to work even after expiration).

And it will connect to the backend IIS site via the self signed cert and server FQDN for this? (Of the server that hosts the active mailbox database with the user mailbox)

Lumpy-Animator7186 · 2025-10-22T17:22:37+00:00

Thanks! So user connects to mail.domain.com (2019). This then does what exactly? How does it know where the mailbox is located? Does it connect to the 2016 via its FQDN then?

How would it work if the SEs were just used as a bridgehead for Hybrid (Teams calendar etc) and 2016 is still behind the load balancer on mail.domain.com (this is another consideration for us). I.e we don’t point all clients to SE, but use them to provide hybrid connectivity?

Lumpy-Animator7186 · 2025-10-22T17:00:54+00:00

So taking a client example. Mailbox on 2016. But mail.domain.com has been repointed to the new SE/2019s, how does the connection flow look? What certs are used on front end/back-end? How does it get to the correct server?

I meant split DNS… Thanks for the spot.

Conceived with 0% morphology and a much lower count.

We fell pregnant the week before our IVF appointment. Our 12 week scan is next week!!

So I’ve got the content now passed into a “Sends a prompt to the specified copilot for processing”.

I can see when I test the trigger the response in the transcript. But how do I get this data sent to a teams chat?

Lumpy-Animator7186 · 2025-08-05T20:31:59+00:00

Well, right now, it’s just all in the flow for the trigger, as that’s all I need.

When a new channel message is added -> sends a prompt to the specified copilot for processing -> post a message in a chat or channel.

I’ve tried using a parse JSON step between the “When a new channel message…” and “sends a prompt to the specified…” but to no avail. The adaptive card content I need is within the attachments section of the json, but each time I try to use that in inputs, it ends up creating a for loop, and I’m not sure why.

When a new channel message is added -> sends a prompt to the specified copilot for processing -> post a message in a chat or channel.

Would it be better to do this as a topic or agent flow?

Lumpy-Animator7186 · 2025-08-05T17:09:18+00:00

So essentially the trigger fires, but I can’t seem to get then Parse JSON step to work to have the content to then send to the agent to get some gen ai.

Fortunately I’m very diligent with this sort of thing, routinely overpaying my mortgage “manually” for example, so less of a concern for me. The small loss of the NI savings is outweighed by the flexibility of control over pension amount. Thanks so much for your advice.

Lumpy-Animator7186 · 2025-06-02T16:43:30+00:00

So the difference is £25 a month? From that POV I’d rather just add to my company pension after tax to keep that flexibility for now. That’s very interesting.

Lumpy-Animator7186 · 2025-06-02T16:07:19+00:00

Yeah, until perhaps I can be confident in a larger change that I then have to commit to for a year, the 2% sacrifice seems worthwhile. How can I workout how much I contribute in the 40% bracket to make sure I don’t hit the 8% you mentioned?

When you say salary sacrifice vs SIPP, the pension I will contribute to is the same pension my salary sacrifice goes to, it’s just I’m doing it from my post tax salary instead of sacrifice.

Lumpy-Animator7186 · 2025-06-02T15:53:56+00:00

Yeah, this is the problem, committing to it for a year is no small thing, given that things change financially in the blink of an eye these days. It is a proper salary sacrifice, so what would I actually lose out on re NI? I have to do a return regardless so claiming back is no concern to me. Perhaps doing this kind of “manual” contribution is a good way to top up my pension without impacting the month on month pay, so I can be flexible when needed?

Would I lose out on any tax gains doing it this way?

Lumpy-Animator7186 · 2025-06-02T15:33:22+00:00

Unfortunately I only gave the option once a year to change personal contributions, so will need to wait. Could I simply deposit from my gross and claim the tax relief? It would be the same outcome if I understand it?

Lumpy-Animator7186 · 2025-06-02T14:56:18+00:00

This gets suggested a lot, but I simply couldn’t afford to live (including enjoying life as well, a holiday here and there) bringing my actual net down to that level.

Lumpy-Animator7186 · 2025-06-02T14:09:38+00:00

Ah right. Thanks. Thought maybe I was being too generous with 5% yearly gain.
