MC392295 | (Updated) Disable chat write access for anonymous or unauthenticated users | Updated October 12, 2022: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience. Financial institutions consider chat messages as a form of data exfiltration, so it's imperative for IT admins to gain flexibility and control over chat access for anonymous or unauthenticated users. The latter may be expected to join Teams meetings, but they should be restricted from seeing and accessing any type of electronic communication on chat. This feature provides additional security by only disabling chat write access for non-federated users and unauthenticated users who join Teams meetings through a link, so it must be used in conjunction with disabled meeting chat policy applied to financial advisors to remain compliant. This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 91142 [When this will happen:] Standard: early June through mid-July GCC: late July through mid-August |

MC441064 | (Updated) Exchange Online Customizable Message Expiration Timeout Interval Coming Soon | A common request from Exchange Online admins is for the ability to customize the message expiration timeout interval for messages sent by users in their organization. When a message in Exchange Online can't be delivered or sent due to a temporary error, the message is queued for subsequent retries until either the message is delivered or sent, or until the message expires after the message expiration timeout interval has passed. In Exchange Online the service-wide default setting is 24 hours. With this update, we'll now give admins the ability to customize the message expiration timeout interval for their organization from 12 hours to 24 hours.

The hard block will show an error message, and the attempt to run the OneDrive Sync client on the machine will get blocked. [When will this happen:] |
Updated December 07, 2022: We have created a script which will allow customers to provide a list of VM names and remotely check to see if FSLogix is installed and if so, checks if the installed version greater is than the minimum version. It not only checks the version from the registry point of view, but also checks all the individual component versions as an extra measure.
