Retirement of the Microsoft Secure Score advanced feature setting

Originally posted by Microsoft Jan 20, 2022 Microsoft 365 suite 0 Comments

We’re making some changes to the Microsoft Secure Score advanced feature setting. This setting was originally created as a way to forward Microsoft Defender for Endpoint signals to Microsoft Secure Score which gave Microsoft Secure Score visibility into the device security posture.

  • Defender for Endpoint customers would enable this one-time setting in the Microsoft 365 Defender portal by going to Settings > Endpoints > Advanced features > Microsoft Secure Score.

Reminder: IE11 desktop application retires in 5 months on June 15, 2022 – Set up IE mode today (non-LTSC, non-Server)

Originally posted by Microsoft Jan 20, 2022 Microsoft 365 suite 0 Comments

As previously announced in (MC257152 – May), (MC288052 – Sept), (MC298657 – Nov), and (MC306663- Dec), the future of Internet Explorer on Windows 10 is in Microsoft Edge. Internet Explorer mode (IE mode) provides legacy browser support within Microsoft Edge. Because of this, the IE11 desktop application will be retired on June 15, 2022. This means that the IE11 desktop application will no longer be supported and afterwards will redirect to Microsoft Edge if a user tries to access it.

With 5 months left before retirement, we highly recommend you start preparing for this multi-month transition today. The essential first step—Site Discovery—typically takes 3-4 weeks. Site Discovery identifies legacy-dependent sites in your organization based on user traffic. Don’t delay and get started on your transition today.
