| (Updated) Microsoft Defender for Office 365: Tenant Allow/Block List will support IPv6 allow and block entriesCategory:Exchange Online Microsoft Defender XDRNummer:MC889519Status:stayInformed | Updated September 27, 2024: We have updated the content. Thank you for your patience. NOTE: This applies to customers with Microsoft Exchange Online Protection or Microsoft Defender for Office 365 Plan 1 or Plan 2 service plans. https://learn.microsoft.com/defender-office-365/tenant-allow-block-list-ip-addresses-configure Soon, it will be possible to create IPv6 allow and block entries in the Tenant Allow/Block Lists. This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 406166. [When this will happen:] General Availability (Worldwide, GCC, GCC High, DoD): We will begin rolling out late September 2024 and expect to complete by late October 2024. [How this will affect your organization:] Before this rollout: Admins cannot block or allow IPv6 addresses. After this rollout, you can make IPv6 allow and block entries in these formats:
The IP block entry will drop any email sent from that IP at the edge, whereas the IP allow will just override the IP filtering, allowing the rest of the Defender for Office 365 stack to evaluate threats. IP block has a higher priority over IP allow entries. Admins can create entries in the Defender portal or with the Microsoft PowerShell New-TenantAllowBlockListItems cmdlet (ListType parameter with value IP) without need for submissions.
This change will not impact any of your current Tenant Allow/Block List entries or your IPv4 entries in the hosted connection filter policy or enhanced filtering connection policy Last used date support for IPv6 allow and block will be added soon. Entry limits for IPv6:
Permissions: The same existing set of permissions we have for Tenant Allow/Block List will also apply to this rollout. [What you need to do to prepare:] This rollout will happen automatically by the specified date with no admin action required before the rollout. If one wants to block emails from IPv6 addresses or allow email from IPv6 addresses, the admin need to create entries to do so. Additional references: |

| Microsoft 365 Copilot: Self-service purchase settings in Microsoft 365 admin center (E3, E5)Category:Microsoft 365 suite Microsoft Copilot (Microsoft 365)Nummer:MC899941Status:planForChange | In MC853238 Microsoft 365 admin center: New self-service purchase and trial settings (August 2024), we communicated the new self-service purchase and trial settings in the Microsoft admin center. In October 2024, self-service purchase settings for Microsoft 365 Copilot will be generally available for global admins or billing admins. If you have an E3 or E5 license, you can set your preferences now for Microsoft 365 Copilot self-service purchases that will go live at a future date. We will update this message when we know that date. Note: Self-service purchase will be available for users with an eligible Microsoft 365 Business suite license: Microsoft 365 Business Basic, Business Standard, or Business Premium, in October. [When this will happen:] General Availability (Worldwide): This setting will be available early October 2024. [How this will affect your organization:] Before the rollout of the self-service purchase for Microsoft 365 Copilot, admins were not able to set preferences for self-service purchase of M365 Copilot in settings. After this rollout, as a global admin or billing admin, you will be able to control settings on self-service purchases of Microsoft 365 Copilot for your users. Self-service purchase settings are enabled by default. You can review the new settings at Settings – Microsoft 365 admin center or use your MSCommerce PowerShell scripts to disable them. Note that the release of the self-service purchase settings in the Admin Center honor your existing state and do not override your current status settings set in PowerShell.

[What you need to do to prepare:] This rollout will happen automatically by the specified date with no admin action required before the rollout. Review your current configuration to determine the impact for your organization. You may want to notify your users about this change and update any relevant documentation.
