Pepuri Server world Eng Version

Windows Server 2025 has been released.

Whenever a new OS is launched, I create a disk image of the installed system using Sysprep to facilitate testing in a Hyper-V environment.

This method is highly convenient because, when creating a new VM, I can simply copy the disk image file to immediately load the OS.

Although I’ve covered this topic before, I’m writing it again as part of a renewal for a YouTube video.

This is based on Windows Server 2025 and Hyper-V.

Double-click on the created VM

Proceed with Installation

The system will automatically reboot.

Once the installation is complete, the screen will appear as shown. At this point, press Shift + Ctrl + F3 simultaneously.

The system will reboot, and the screen will appear as shown. Select OOBE, Generalize, and Shutdown, then click OK.

Sysprep will run, and once completed, the system will shut down.

Back up the created VHDX disk image. This disk can be used to streamline the OS installation process.

You can select the disk image from the menu below to create a new VM.

I tried to create a Custom Connector to link something created in Azure AI Studio with Copilot Studio.

However, the technical documentation suggests navigating to Data -> Custom Connectors as shown on the screen, but I was unable to find it.

I realized that, while this menu was easily visible in many older YouTube videos, it no longer exists now.

At first, I thought it might be because my license wasn't premium, but that wasn't the case.

After searching through some more recent YouTube videos, I was able to find it.

Power Automate -> More -> Discover all

In the Data section, click on Custom connectors or click the Pin icon to pin it for easy access.

You can now see the Custom connectors menu as shown on the screen.

This time, let's create a flow where a specific message entered into the chatbot is sent as a Teams notification to the person in charge.

With some modifications, you can create automated flows from the chatbot, such as sending emails.

In the existing Copilot, you can see that topics have default settings to trigger actions based on specific conditions.

Here, we will create a flow that sends a Teams notification to the person in charge when Escalate is triggered.

With this pattern, you can create various connection flows between M365 and other services using Power Automate.
