With this update, you will be able to include Teams content in the scope of the data purge. Note: Data purge can't delete items in a review set in Advanced eDiscovery because the review set contains copies of items in the live service that are stored in an Azure Storage location. To delete items in a review set, you have to delete the Advanced eDiscovery case that contains the review set. For more information, see Close or delete an Advanced eDiscovery case. |

| MC281145 | Retirement of (Azure AD) Graph and license assignment operations and updates to license management APIs and PowerShell | Today, as communicated on Tech Community, we are providing a reminder that the end of support for Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) Graph will be on June 30, 2022. Apps using Azure AD Graph after this time will no longer receive responses from the Azure AD Graph endpoint. Since the Azure AD Graph APIs are being retired, we are also retiring the license assignment operation in the MSOnline and Azure AD PowerShell modules. Note: If you don't use Azure AD Graph API, do license management through MSOnline/AzureAD PowerShell, or manage licenses for your organization, you can safely disregard this message. [Key points] Timing: June 30, 2022 Control type: user control / admin control Action: review, assess and update existing applications to access the license assignment APIs from the Microsoft Graph endpoint and update your scripts to use license assignment cmdlets from the Microsoft Graph PowerShell module to reduce the impact on operations. Other operations in the MSOnline and Azure AD PowerShell modules won’t be impacted. Below are some of the operations that will no longer receive a successful response beginning on June 30, 2022.

Updated March 15, 2022: We have updated the content below with additional information. Thank you for your feedback. We will not retire the Azure AD Graph API on June 30, 2022. Listening closely to your feedback about the challenges of migrating such a critical dependency, we’re delaying the retirement date through at least the end of this year. We’ll provide a retirement update mid-calendar year with information on additional tools to assist with your migration. For more information, see Migrate Azure AD Graph apps to Microsoft Graph - Microsoft Graph | Microsoft Docs. We will continue to retire the Azure AD Graph and MSOnline PowerShell licensing assignment APIs and PowerShell cmdlets on August 26, 2022. Please migrate your apps to access the license managements APIs from Microsoft Graph. For more information, visit Migrate your apps to access the license managements APIs from Microsoft Graph - Microsoft Tech Commu... We stated before that if you’re using the Azure AD PowerShell or MSOnline PowerShell modules to manage Azure AD, we encourage you to try the Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK. The Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK continues to be where all our current and future PowerShell investments are being made. In light of the announcement to not turn off the Azure AD Graph API on June 30th, our goal is to also provide guidance and tools for migrating existing scripts and PowerShell processes, reliant on the Azure AD Graph API and MSOnline module, to the Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK. This is due to the planned retirement of the two PowerShell modules (MSOL & AAD) after December 2022. Check out more information here and here. ----- Original message for reference ----- Azure AD PowerShell Set-MgUserLicense Azure AD Graph API (graph.windows.net) assignLicense What’s next: New license management platform: |
