Microsoft Roadmap, messagecenter en blogs updates van 11-08-2024

Coming soon to Microsoft Syntex (Microsoft SharePoint Premium) pay-as-you-go services: We will update the service setting to only process files where you have applied a model to a library on an enabled site. Before this rollout, if you make a model available to process files on a site and then disable the site, this action will not disable the model. After the rollout, you can still use models to process files and incur charges. You can make a model available to process files by creating a model on that site or in a content center. This change will make the model processing consistent with the other content processing services.

[When this will happen:]

General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out early September 2024 and expect to complete by mid-September 2024.

[How this will affect your organization:]

Before this rollout: All files are processed in a site library where a model has been applied, even after the service has been disabled for that site.

After this rollout: Files will no longer be processed unless the service is enabled for the site. This change is on 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 users about this change and update any relevant documentation.

If you have applied models to sites where you want processing to continue, you must enable the Syntex service for that site.

Bulk emails play a crucial role in modern enterprise communications. Determining the right balance of these messages—what should be allowed and what should be blocked—poses a significant challenge. Many organizations default to standard settings, often leading to issues like false positives (FP) and false negatives (FN) in email.

With Bulk Senders Insight in Microsoft Exchange Online Protection powered by Microsoft Defender for Office 365, admins will have a simulation tool that empowers them to fine-tune bulk email policies. This tool offers real-time simulations to help identify the optimal BCL (bulk complaint level) and potential FPs and FNs based on user preferences across your tenant. By simulating changes in BCL and Simulation Sender Quality, potential issues like FP and FN can be identified and mitigated, ensuring efficient email communications aligned with user preferences.

[When this will happen:]

General Availability (Worldwide, GCC, GCC High): We will begin rolling out mid-August 2024 and expect to complete by mid-September 2024.

[How this will affect your organization:]

Before this rollout: Admins faced challenges in configuring the allow and block list for bulk emails. 

After this rollout: Admins will have the ability to determine the optimal BCL using the simulation tool, ensuring that any adjustments are data driven. There will be no impact on mail flow or end users unless admins choose to modify the BCL thresholds based on the simulation results.

This feature is off by default and available to all Exchange customers with the appropriate permissions. 

[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.

We will be retiring the two Admin Audit Log cmdlets Search-AdminAuditLog and New-AdminAuditLog from the Microsoft Exchange Online version 3 module on September 15, 2024. Instead, we recommend using the Search-UnifiedAuditLog cmdlet for auditing, where we will continue to invest our development resources.

Please refer to Update on the Deprecation of Admin Audit Log Cmdlets – Microsoft Community Hub for details on the retirement and migration of the two cmdlets.

Currently, after taking an action like delete or archive on a Microsoft Outlook email, users are returned to the message list. With this rollout, we are adding a setting that will allow users to choose to advance to the next email after instead of returning to the message list.

[When this will happen:]

iOS General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out mid-August 2024 and expect to complete by mid-September 2024.

Android: General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out late October 2024 and expect to complete by late November 2024.

[How this will affect your organization:]

The new setting will be available in Settings > Mail > Email Auto-Advance:

This feature is available to all Outlook Mobile users by default, but users must enable the feature in Settings before it takes effect.

[What you need to do to prepare:]

This rollout will happen automatically. You may want to notify your users about this change and update any relevant documentation as appropriate.
