| (Updated) Microsoft Purview | Insider Risk Management: Adaptive Protection in GCC, GCCH, DoDCategory:Microsoft PurviewNummer:MC803011Status:stayInformed | Updated February 3, 2025: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience. Adaptive Protection integration with Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention will soon be available for government clouds (GCC, GCC High, and DoD). This integration enables admins with the appropriate access to change, create, update, and delete policies, and to configure policies where users are automatically included in the scope of data loss prevention (DLP) policies based on insider risk levels. For example, a DLP policy integrated with insider risk levels will prevent high-risk users from printing sensitive data, while allowing low-risk users to do so. This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 377674. [When this will happen:] General Availability (GCC, GCC High, DoD): We will begin rolling out late February 2025 (previously mid-January) and expect to complete by late March 2025 (previously late February). [How this will affect your organization:] Before this rollout: Adaptive Protection integrated with Purview DLP was not available for government clouds. To use Adaptive Protection integrated with Purview DLP for your organization, go to Purview > Insider risk management > and turn on Adaptive Protection:
Adaptive Protection is off by default. [What you need to do to prepare:] This rollout will happen automatically by the specified date with no admin action required before the rollout. You may want to notify your admins about this change and update any relevant documentation as appropriate Learn more: Help dynamically mitigate risks with adaptive protection (preview) | Microsoft Learn |
| (Updated) Exchange Online token deprecation planCategory:Exchange OnlineNummer:MC902782Status:planForChange | Updated February 3, 2025: We have updated the content. This is a reminder that starting February 17th, legacy Exchange Online user identity and callback tokens will be turned off across all Microsoft 365 tenants. This impacts all Outlook add-ins that request a legacy Exchange Online token to identify the user or make Exchange web services (EWS) calls. This change only applies to Exchange Online and doesn’t apply to Exchange on-premises. Recommended actions
Can I opt out of this change? You can opt out of the February 17th change if all the following are true.
To opt out, run a command to set legacy Exchange Online tokens to remain on. It takes up to 24 hours for the command to take effect. If you turn tokens on before February 17th, your tenant will be exempt from the February 17th change. Tokens will remain on until June 2025 or until you explicitly turn them off. What happens on February 17th? Microsoft will begin deploying a change to all users worldwide in Microsoft 365 tenants that will turn off the issuance of legacy Exchange online tokens. The deployment will take several weeks to deploy to all users. If an Outlook add-in requests a legacy Exchange token, and token issuance is turned off, the add-in will receive an error. Outlook add-ins that still request legacy Exchange Online tokens will be broken by this change. Please note that even after legacy tokens are turned off, already issued legacy tokens will continue to be valid for approximately 24 hours. Note that since the change is applied per user, and deployed over several weeks, you could see some user’s affected while others are not. Where do I get more information? The Outlook legacy tokens deprecation FAQ is updated regularly and contains information about tools and how to upgrade add-ins. We recommend you refer to the Q&A section for Microsoft 365 administrators. We also recommend you share the FAQ with any developers in your organization that need to update LOB Outlook add-ins using legacy Exchange Online tokens. Additional resources

| (Updated) Microsoft SharePoint: Filter search results by “Messages”Category:SharePoint OnlineNummer:MC947052Status:stayInformed | Updated February 3, 2025: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience. The same Messages search vertical at microsoft365.com will soon be available for organization-wide search in Microsoft SharePoint. Search verticals are tabs on the search result page that show results of a specific type or from select sources. For example, the Files vertical shows results classified as files and makes it easy for users who are looking to find documents. [When this will happen:] General Availability (Worldwide, GCC, GCC High, DoD): This rollout has completed. [How this will affect your organization:] This feature will be on by default. If you have disabled the Messages search vertical for microsoft365.com, the Messages search vertical will also be disabled in SharePoint. Learn more: Manage search verticals | Microsoft Learn Before this rollout: Default vertical experience without the Messages vertical:
After this rollout: New default vertical experience with the Messages vertical:
[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. |
