Scenario:
Within Logic App constructing a string variable – sendtosftp
Using this data creating a new file on the SFTP server.
If the constructed variable size exceeds 50 MB size limit, get an error similar to:
{
“status”: 400,
“message”: “The provided file size ‘58100000’ for the create or update operation exceeded the maximum allowed file size ‘52428800’ using non-chunked transfer mode. Please enable chunked transfer mode to create or update large files.rnclientRequestId: xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx”,
“error”: {
“message”: “The provided file size ‘58100000’ for the create or update operation exceeded the maximum allowed file size ‘52428800’ using non-chunked transfer mode. Please enable chunked transfer mode to create or update large files.”
},
“source”: “sftpwithssh-eus.azconn-eus.p.azurewebsites.net”
}
This issue happens even though “Allow Chunking” property is set to “On”.
Resolution:
Before sending the data to SFTP, create a Componse action and set its value to the previous string variable.
Add the “body” to the Compose action.
e.g.
“Compose”: {
“inputs”: {
“body”: “@variables(‘sendtosftp’)”
},
“runAfter”: {
“Until”: [
“Succeeded”
]
},
“type”: “Compose”
},
“Create_file”: {
“inputs”: {
“body”: “@body(‘Compose’)”,

Today we are excited to announce the public preview of two new highly desired features, Availability Zone spanning using a single VMSS, and stateless node types!
Availability Zone spanning using a single VMSS
We are simplifying the deployment of Service Fabric clusters which span availability zones by enabling you to create a zone spanning cluster using a single VMSS. Previously it was required that you deploy three independent scale sets with each one pinned to a single zone. It is now possible to create the same cluster topology using a single VMSS greatly simplifying the deployment and management of these clusters.
Use it today!
To try out availability zone spanning using a single VMSS, see the documentation and sample templates.
Stateless Node Types
Stateless node types are a new property which will only place stateless services on the specific node type. This enables several benefits for stateless workloads:
- Faster scale out operations.
- Support for scale sets with greater than 100 nodes. (Support for >100 nodes in a scale sets to simplify meeting demand)
- Support for VMSS Automatic OS upgrades on bronze durability to further simplify OS patching.
Use it today!
To try out stateless node types, see the documentation and sample templates.
Use it, and tell us about it
As with other previews, the public preview features should not be used for production workloads until they reach general availability.
We look forward to hearing your feedback on these new capabilities. Please provide feedback via GitHub here with any features or issues you encounter.

As we approach the end of 2020, we wanted to take the opportunity to highlight some notable milestones for Microsoft Video Indexer. In recent months, we’ve added deep search for spoken words in multi-language videos and topics, lowered transcription costs, made enhancements to VI portal experience and more. The most notable advances we’ve made span the following areas:
- General availability (GA) of multi-language identification and transcription in Video Indexer
- Usability enhancements in Video Indexer portal experience addressing top customer feedback
- Extended functionality in the search API that enables search by topics
- Expanded region availability
GA of Multi-Language Identification and Transcription in Video Indexer
Video Indexer provides the unique capability of automating the identification of spoken languages within a video for transcription. This is especially useful when analyzing multi-language source content. This solution allows users to easily transcribe multi-language content without going through tedious manual preparation steps before starting the analysis. It saves time and money when it comes to processing large archives of videos. It also enables enhanced discoverability and improves accessibility.
By auto-detecting multiple languages before indexing your videos, Video Indexer simplifies the transcription and translation processes within your organization. In July, the multi-language identification capability was moved from preview to GA and is now ready for production use. There is no pricing impact from the “Preview to GA” transition. You can find a more detailed overview of this capability in this blog post. You can also refer to the Video Indexer documentation for full details.
New Portal Experience
The Video Indexer Portal is an out-of-the-box offering that allows customers to explore, learn, try, and even run limited Proof-of-Concepts (PoCs). It provides intuitive UI experience and is especially useful for low-scale scenarios such as video archives with 50 videos. We recently enhanced the portal offering with the addition of the following capabilities:
- The portal UI now supports mobile devices. By adapting to your mobile screen size (excluding customization UIs), the new portal gives you more seamless experience across the full range of desktop to mobile device form factors.
- The Video Indexer website experience is fully aligned with WCAG2.1, as part of Microsoft Accessibility standards. Several improvements related to keyboard navigation, programmatic access, and screen-reader were released to improve accessibility for our users.
- Improved Video Gallery. We now have a new search bar for deep insight search, with additional filtering capabilities and enhanced search results. The video gallery includes a new list of views with the ability to sort and manage video archives with multiple files (No API changes).
- There’s also a new side panel for easy selection and user configuration. It allows for simple and quick account creation and sharing and simplifies setting the configuration. The side panel is also used to provide convenient access to user preferences and help.
Search by Topics
We have enhanced the search API to enable searching on inferenced Topics to further enable you to optimize your search results. You can use the search API to search for videos with specific topics. Topics are added as part of the textScope (optional parameter).
Let’s say you have a video archive, and you would like to find videos in English-US only about web design, you would need to add the following request params: ‘&query=web+design’ (search for videos with all the words) and ‘&textScope=Topics’. You can use this C# sample or refer to the Video Indexer API documentation for more details and code samples.

{
var client = new HttpClient();
var queryString = HttpUtility.ParseQueryString(string.Empty);
// Request headers
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add(“x-ms-client-request-id”, ””);
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add(“Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key”, ”{subscription key}”);
// Request parameters
queryString[“sourceLanguage”] = ”en-US”;
queryString[“isBase”] = true;
queryString[“query”] = ”web+design”;
queryString[“textScope”] = ”Topics”;
var uri = ”https://api.videoindexer.ai/{location}/Accounts/{accountId}/Videos/Search?“ + queryString;
var response = await client.GetAsync(uri);
}
}
}
Video Indexer Region Availability in East US
Video Indexer paid accounts can now be created in the East US region. We will continue to expand our data center availability in the coming months. See the full list of regions that Video Indexer currently supports.

Update: Tuesday, 15 December 2020 22:17 UTC
Root cause has been isolated to new feature rollout which was causing duplicate notification when resource was unhealthy for some customer in the azure portal. Specifically, any metric alert names with non ascii characters see this impact. To address the issue, we’ve started mitigation to disable the feature. Some customers may continue to see notifications and we estimate 4 hours before all is addressed.

Update 2012 for the Technical Preview Branch of Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager has been released. We’ve simplified the Windows 10 Servicing dashboard to make it more relevant. The new Quality Update Versions chart displays the top five revisions of Windows 10 across your devices. The Latest Feature Update chart shows the number of devices that installed the latest feature update. The Windows 10 Usage chart, showing the distribution of Windows 10 major releases, was renamed to Feature Update Versions. Servicing plan and Windows 10 ring information were removed from the dashboard.
Windows 10 Servicing dashboard
Learn more about the Windows 10 Servicing dashboard changes.
This preview release also includes:
Task sequence error shows more check readiness details – Based on your UserVoice feedback, the task sequence progress can now display more information about readiness checks. If a task sequence fails because the client doesn’t meet the requirements configured in the Check readiness task sequence step, the user can now see more details about the failed prerequisites. They still see the common “task sequence error” message, but can now select an option to Inspect. This action shows the checks that failed on the device.
Tenant Attach: Application details – When tenant attach is enabled, the applications pane in the Microsoft Endpoint Manager admin center will show an Error Description if the application status is Failed. The Learn more link for application installation error will take you to an article where you can review the code and troubleshooting steps.
Windows 10 Servicing dashboard changes – We’ve simplified the Windows 10 Servicing dashboard to make it more relevant. The new Quality Update Versions chart displays the top five revisions of Windows 10 across your devices. The Latest Feature Update chart shows the number of devices that installed the latest feature update. The Windows 10 Usage chart, showing the distribution of Windows 10 major releases, was renamed to Feature Update Versions. Servicing plan and Windows 10 ring information were removed from the dashboard.
Disable application deployments – Based on your UserVoice feedback, you can now disable application deployments. For device-based deployments, when you disable the deployment or object, use the client notification action to Download Computer Policy. This action immediately tells the client to update its policy from the site. If the deployment hasn’t already started, the client receives the updated policy that the object is now disabled.
Get console extensions from the Community hub – The Community hub now supports sharing extensions to the Configuration Manager console. When you get an extension from the hub, it’s available in a new Console extensions node in the console. Getting an extension from the hub doesn’t make it immediately available. First, an administrator has to approve the extension for the site. Then console users can install the extension to their local console.
Access the top queries shared in the Community hub from CMPivot– You can now access the top CMPivot queries shared in the Community hub from on-premises CMPivot. By leveraging pre-created CMPivot queries shared by the broader community, CMPivot users gain access to a wider variety of queries. On-premises CMPivot accesses the Community hub and returns a list of the top downloaded CMPivot queries. Users can review the top queries, customize them, and then run on-demand. This improvement gives a wider selection of queries for immediate usage without having to construct them and also allows information sharing on how to build queries for future reference.
Community hub support for application content – This release continues to iterate on the scenario to share apps via the Community hub. You can now download linked content for Windows Installer apps in the hub. This improvement helps you to easily get a fully functional app from the Configuration Manager community.
OneTrace support for jump lists – Support Center OneTrace now supports jump lists for recently opened files. Jump lists let you quickly go to previously opened files, so you can work faster.
There are now three methods to open recent files in OneTrace:
- Windows taskbar jump list
- Windows Start menu recently opened list
- In OneTrace from File menu or Recently opened tab.
Improved user experience and security with Software Center custom tabs – Since current branch version 1906, you can add up to five custom tabs to Software Center. These custom tabs let you give your users easy access to common web apps and other sites. Previously, to display websites Software Center used the Windows built-in Internet Explorer browser control. Starting in this release, Software Center can now use the Microsoft Edge WebView2 browser control. The WebView2 browser control provides improved security and user experience. For example, more websites should work with these custom tabs without displaying script errors or security warnings.
PowerShell release notes preview – These release notes summarize changes to the Configuration Manager PowerShell cmdlets in technical preview version 2012.
Update 2012 for Technical Preview Branch is available in the Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager Technical Preview console. For new installations, the 2010 baseline version of Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager Technical Preview Branch is available on the Microsoft Evaluation Center. Technical Preview Branch releases give you an opportunity to try out new Configuration Manager features in a test environment before they are made generally available.
We would love to hear your thoughts about the latest Technical Preview! Send us Feedback about product issues directly from the console and use our UserVoice page for ideas about new features.
Thanks,
The Configuration Manager team
