Fixing Email for Guest Users in D365 Business Central

Sun, 26 Apr 2026 20:41:00 +0000

If you manage any Dynamics 365 Business Central clients where users sign in as Entra B2B guests (aka M365 Guest Users) you've probably hit this issue: the built-in email connectors don't work properly for guest users.

The use of guest accounts in BC is becoming more common due to organisations with a multi-tenancy strategy or where companies are looking for very clear separation of data access & governance. The expectation is simply that users email will just work in BC guest or not!

Trying out GitHub Copilot Agent for a Functional Task?

Sun, 19 Apr 2026 14:35:00 +0000

I've been using GitHub for a while https://github.com/andywingate but had never touched its agentic features. Working on the Nubimancy project gave me a good excuse. This is a practical breakdown of what I used, what it saved me, and where human judgement still mattered.

Full context is in the Nubimancy project log - this post is about the tools and the approach.

The Task

Validate ~75 CSV schema files against Business Central master data import requirements. Check field names, required fields, data types, and format compatibility. Important, methodical, time-consuming if done manually. There are a number of extensions in the mix also on top of the standard BC tables. I gave it to a GitHub Copilot agent. Here's exactly what I did.

AI context is king - BC MCP for MCS Agents - London D365PPUG - Feb 2026

What if your AI tool understood your business data, would you get a better output from it? In short yes - context is king when dealing with AI.

AI Context is King - D365PPUG London, February 2026

I had a great evening presenting at D365PPUG London last night - thanks to the organisers for having me, brilliant crowd as always.

The session was about Business Central's built-in MCP (Model Context Protocol) server, and why I think it's one of the more exciting developments in the BC ecosystem right now.

The core problem: generic AI doesn't know your business. Ask it about your customers, your open orders, your stock levels - it can't help. MCP fixes that. It's the standard that lets AI tools connect to external systems, and Microsoft have built an MCP server directly into Business Central. No custom development, no third-party tooling - it's there today.

The demo gods were mostly kind 😅 and the audience questions were fantastic - lots of interest in security, licensing, and whether you can build custom MCP tools (yes, you can - that's a whole other session).

Here is a copy of the slides shared.

What's New in Dynamics 365 Licensing: December 2025 Update

A comprehensive guide to the latest changes in Microsoft's Dynamics 365 Licensing Guide, with special focus on Business Central

Microsoft has released the December 2025 update to the Dynamics 365 Licensing Guide, and it brings some significant changes—particularly for Business Central users.

I've asked AI to do a detailed comparison with the July 2025 version to identify what's changed, and the results are quite interesting. Let's dive in.

The Power of AI-Assisted Data Analysis

How good is AI at helping with data analysis?

Last year, I explored this question by analysing blog activity in our BC RSS WhatsApp Community -check out that post here.

Simplify your user onboarding process with Dynamics 365 Business Central & Azure Security Groups

Sun, 11 Jun 2023 17:33:00 +0000

If you are involved with onboarding new users this post is for you.

Until recently, when provisioning a new user to Dynamics 365 Business Central, you needed to do all the usual steps in AAD and then also access the BC application itself to refresh the user list and assign the new user to one or more User Groups or User Permissions.

The good news is that, after a short setup, you no longer need to leave the comforting Light Blue of the Azure portal (assuming there is no DDoS going on) to onboard new BC users.
