Microsoft Defender for Office 365 to stop honoring ReportJunkEmailEnabled in OwaMailboxPolicy

Originally posted by Microsoft Nov 4, 2022 Exchange Online 0 Comments

Microsoft Defender for Office 365 (Exchange Online Protection) will stop honoring ReportJunkEmailEnabled property in OwaMailboxPolicy. Instead, we recommend the utilization of User reported settings page in Microsoft Defender portal, which is where we will continue to invest our development resources.

When this will happen:

We’ll be gradually rolling this out to customers around November 25th, 2022, and the roll out will be completed by December 10th, 2022.

How this will affect your organization:

You are receiving this message because you as an admin might be using this setting or might be looking to use this setting in the future.

You can use the Get-OwaMailboxPolicy to see what your ReportJunkEmailEnabled property has been configured to. 

Administrators will no longer be able to use this property to turn end user reporting on or off in outlook via the Report message add-in or Report phish add-in or outlook report buttons, when this change is implemented.

What you need to do to prepare:

Instead of using ReportJunkEmailEnabled property in OwaMailboxPolicy, we recommend using user reported settings page in Microsoft defender portal.
