MC467234 (Updated) Offboarding exchange online archives to on-premises when auto expanding archives are enabled is not supported For Exchange Online users who have auto expanding archives enabled, we will block offboarding/moving their mailboxes to on-premises. This is because offboarding/moving content from auto-expanding archives is not a supported feature today. Please see details in the public documentation regarding Enable auto-expanding archiving. To quote "Auto-expanding archiving is supported for cloud-based archive mailboxes in an Exchange hybrid deployment for users who have an on-premises primary mailbox. However, after auto-expanding archiving is enabled for a cloud-based archive mailbox, you can't off-board that archive mailbox back to the on-premises Exchange organization. Auto-expanding archiving isn't supported for on-premises mailboxes in any version of Exchange Server." For Exchange Online users who have auto expanding archives enabled, we will block offboarding/moving their archives to on-premises. This is because offboarding/moving content from auto-expanding archives is not a supported feature today. Please see details in the public documentation regarding Enable auto-expanding archiving.

Auto-expanding archiving isn't supported for on-premises mailboxes in any version of Exchange Server."

Scope:

If you have an account with auto-expanding archives enabled

You cannot offboard the archive (main or auxiliary archive). This was always an unsupported feature, but we are now programmatically restricting it.

You can continue to offboard the primary mailbox (no change here)

No Change to the following scenarios:

If you have an account with a regular (no auto expanding archive enabled) archive

you can offboard both primary and archive for that account (no change here)

MC399073 (Updated) Microsoft Teams: Automatically end stale Teams meetings Updated August 25, 2022: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.

Microsoft Teams is enabled with a new feature that will allow meetings to automatically end if they're identified as stale. If a user is the sole participant in a meeting 10 minutes after the scheduled meeting end time has passed, then a dialog will appear in the call prompting them to end the call or dismiss the notification. If no action is taken on the dialog within 3 minutes, the meeting will automatically end.

If there is more than 1 user on the call and/or the scheduled meeting end time has not passed yet, then the feature will not trigger.

If the user dismisses the notification, they will not see it again for the same meeting, and it will not be at risk to automatically end anymore.

Updated November 23, 2022: Based on learnings from our early rings, we have made the decision to make additional changes before we proceed with the rollout. We will deliver a new Message center post once we re-start the rollout. Thank you for your patience.

Any on-going migrations will fail. The change we are putting out is to fail early and gracefully with no data loss by adding a check whether the auto-expanding archive exists for a user.
