Hey there,

I am working on a Environment Strategy. I was wondering, why I had so many agents in the default environment. Then i came to my mind, that all those agents are agents from the copilot studio lite / Agent Builder. M365 Chat Agents, you get it. Those little agents that are build within your copilot chat experience :D It seems like all of them are deployed as default into the personal productivity / default environment.

Since there might be scenarios, where they need credits - is there any way to change this and select a dedicated environment, where new deployments are routed?

If not, how do you guys / girls deal with this issue?

Kind Regards

Hey there,

I was curious if it is possible to deactive the following setting programmatically:

I did a little research on the pac settings and I couldnt find it. Do you know any documentation in that? The network says it is called TenantPool, but this is also not available in the pac settings.

Any expeerience on that?

Hey there,

we have a Use-Case where we need VNET Support in den Dataverse Environment, which is a feature that is unique to managed environments.

We have roughly 200 Users that will use this application. Will all users need to be premium licensed with whatever?! I don't get the point of creating Power Automate Premium (although it is not needed for this app) for all those users, just to make them able to access this environment. Or can I just license the application itself? What is the best approach here?

Hi Community!

I work as a consultant on Microsoft Fabric, but also on other Microsoft Stuff. If I am staffed for a Fabric Project after some months again, I noticed that I had struggle to keep up with all the updates and new products that have shipped in the meantime. I guess that is due to my head revolving around other topics in that time (and keeping track with all other microsoft capabilities that change lol). Do you have a workflow for that? Like getting a weekly / monthly digest somewhere?

Would love to hear!

Kind regards

Hey there,

is there currently any real reason to use managed environmentsß Those features that are sold as premium...I can't really see, why I need those features. DLP for Power Automate Desktop was something that I needed - but it is now available to all environments. IP-Blocking etc. is also not really something that I need.

Why are your use-cases for using managed environments?

Hey there,

I used to test new features within my dev tenant with all those amazing trail licenses, which are now out of stock I guess. Since I am working in a rather small consultancy and fabric is my little side-project, I don't have a full F64 License at my company (and I ofc will not use the capacities of my customers lol). Has someone been in a similar situation? How do you guys test new features? Or is there an opportunity to restock such licenses?

Kind regards

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to understand what the best automation approach is for managing Power Platform environments and related topics like ALM, environment management, governance, and administration.

I understand that some things are one-off decisions and probably don’t need to be automated. But I’m curious where other people draw the line and what they actually automate in practice when managing Power Platform at scale.

For example:

• Environment creation and configuration
• DLP policies
• Security roles and permissions
• Solution deployment
• Connection references and environment variables
• Governance or compliance checks
• Managed environments
• Tenant/environment settings
• Admin reporting or monitoring

What tools are people using for this?

I’ve seen different options mentioned, such as:

• PowerShell
• Power Platform CLI
• Azure DevOps YAML pipelines
• GitHub Actions
• Terraform / OpenTofu
• Custom scripts
• Center of Excellence Starter Kit

I’m already somewhat familiar with Azure DevOps and have built my first YAML pipelines for ALM, mainly around exporting/importing solutions. But I don’t really know where to start with the broader topic of automated Power Platform management.

My main questions are:

1. What parts of Power Platform management are actually worth automating?
2. Are most teams using PowerShell/CLI, or are tools like Terraform/OpenTofu becoming common?
3. What does a good automation setup look like in a real organization?
4. Are there recommended learning paths, docs, repos, or examples to study?
5. What should I avoid overengineering at the beginning?

I’d really appreciate practical examples from people who manage Power Platform environments professionally.

Thanks!
