The Reliability report, a public preview feature for Windows Autopatch, will retire starting February 28, 2025, and ending by March 1, 2025. This report informs admins about the reliability of an update and the impact crashes have on their devices.
How will this affect your organization:
Network admins and corporate communicators can input custom themes of interest and track new conversations that match these themes. Theme monitoring is accessible in the new communications dashboard experience in the advanced moderation page.
The Purview eDiscovery team has increased the limits for Hold policies for eDiscovery Premium in the new purview.microsoft.com portal.
The maximum number of mailboxes in a single case hold has been increased from 1,000 to 2,000. This limit includes the combined total of user mailboxes and the mailboxes associated with Microsoft 365 Groups, Microsoft Teams, and Viva Engage Groups.
The maximum number of sites in a single case hold has been increased from 100 to 2,000. This limit includes the combined total of OneDrive for Business sites, SharePoint sites, and the sites associated with Microsoft 365 Groups, Microsoft Teams, and Viva Engage Groups.
Overall, the maximum allowed locations in a premium case hold policy in a premium case is 4,000 (2,000 each). This is possible through the new user interface in Purview portal and not through the Classic eDiscovery experience. Additionally, this is not currently possible with Graph. The maximum hold limits for a standard case remain the same as earlier: 1,000 mailboxes and 100 sites. All other settings for eDiscovery hold continue as is.
Lastly, in case of license downgrade, the system won’t remove any existing holds and won’t allow adding more, such as for a policy with a higher number of locations in it (e.g. 1500 Mailbox and 1500 Sites), and if the case setting is downgraded to E3, you will not be able to add more locations in it based on E3 limits, but you will be able to remove locations from it.
Developers using Teams Toolkit to author declarative agents can select specific Graph connectors to improve their knowledge grounding.
IT Administrators can view and monitor the health of Teams desktop clients on both Windows and Mac platforms. This feature offers comprehensive admin actionable insights into client health metrics, including client crashes and launch failures. Administrators are equipped with detailed information on issues, insights, and mitigation tools to promptly and effectively address any potential client health problems.
Developers and makers can embed knowledge (pdf, doc/docx, ppt) into their declarative agents built with Teams Toolkit for additional grounding capabilities.
We will soon add a new graph to Microsoft Purview Data Security Posture Management for AI that displays the departments of users interacting with AI apps. The department data is from a user’s profile in Entra.

Later this year we are making two significant improvements for the management of Android personally owned work profile devices. These include a web-based enrollment process and a new implementation to deliver policies by moving to Google’s Android Management API. These updates are designed to modernize device management and improve the user enrollment flow.
