In today’s landscape, organizations and users utilize various authentication methods with varying levels of security. Unfortunately, users often select less secure MFA methods, even when more secure options are available. This may be due to convenience, lack of awareness, or technical limitations.
We are enhancing our Records Management auto-labeling policies for content that contains sensitive information, to allow administrators to scope these policies to include or exclude specific mailboxes as well as utilize adaptive policy scopes. This change will remove the current restriction of having to include all mailboxes (including Exchange & Microsoft 365 groups) in the scope while creating these policies and creates a consistent scoping experience across all Records Management auto-labeling policies.

We are pleased to announce the release of the ability to permanently delete users in Power Platform. You will now be able to delete and remove users with a disabled status. The rollout of this new feature has started and will be completed by June 2, 2023.
The “Preview Features” toggle enabled customers to get an advanced peek at four premium storyline features, prior to them being generally available. These features are now generally released and are available to users with a Viva Suite license, so this preview is no longer necessary. The features available through the preview included:
In order to prevent critical security services downtime, Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps will not support the ability to natively block the specific services from its product (not from the UI nor via policies).
When this will happen:
On July 18, 2023, Microsoft will be retiring a subset of signatures found in the “NetworkSignaturesInspected” action type of Advanced Hunting. With the recent integration of Zeek providing advanced protocol parsing capabilities, which result in better visibility into full network sessions compared to the raw packet bytes found in the “NetworkSignaturesInspected” action type of Advanced Hunting today, the effort to consolidate will provide a better overall experience for our customers by reducing the signatures that serve similar functions without the added benefits provided by the new Zeek alternative.
When this will happen:
Microsoft is now extending group policy assignment support to additional policy types via Teams PowerShell Module (TPM). Admins can create new groups in Microsoft 365 admin center or can use existing groups to assign custom policies for various policy types in Teams PowerShell Module.
As your organization expands, your requirements become increasingly nuanced and multifaceted. A “one size fits all” approach is no longer tenable. Therefore, this capability will enable your organization to have different custom policies for various policy types assigned to user groups for specific needs. You will not have to rely on global (org-wide default) policies or direct policy assignments via manual user selections.
We have maintenance planned for Viva Goals:
For the Viva Engage (Yammer) app on iOS devices, iOS 15 or later will now be required for the Viva Engage (Yammer) mobile app. Phones running iOS 14 will still be able to use Viva Engage (Yammer) after the cutoff but won’t receive any new app updates.

This capability will enable your organization to have different custom policies for various policy types assigned to user groups for specific needs and inherited through group memberships. You will not have to rely on global (org-wide default) policies or direct policy assignments via manual user selections.
