| MC546441 | (Updated) Licensing Check implementation for Teams DLP | You are receiving this message as a reminder to ensure your users who are currently covered with Teams DLP policies have the required Microsoft 365 E5/G5/A5/F5 licenses before June 30 2023. If you already have the mentioned E5 licenses, this message is not relevant to you, and we request you kindly ignore this message. If your users within the scope of your Teams DLP policies are assigned Microsoft 365 E3/G3/F3/A3 licenses, post June 30, 2023, your existing Teams DLP policies covering these users will become dormant and will not process any Teams messages for data loss prevention. You will not be able to create new Teams DLP policies or make changes to your existing Teams-only DLP policies that cover these users, and these users will not be block/audited while sharing sensitive information over Teams. The existing alerts while the policy was active will continue to be available for triage and remediation but no new alerts will be generated for these users. If you have a DLP policy that covers multiple locations and one of the locations is Teams, that policy will continue to be active for all other locations except Teams. You will be able to edit such policies and remove Teams as a location in the policy configuration experience. Please note that your Teams only DLP policies will not be deleted and will continue to be visible in the Microsoft Purview compliance portal for future use in the event that you are able to assign the required licenses to your users. We recommend you assign the users within the scope of the Teams DLP policies appropriate Microsoft 365 E5/G5/A5/F5 licenses to continue to benefit from Teams DLP. See which licenses include Teams DLP here. Learn more about Teams DLP here. |

| MC541649 | (Updated) Retiring Remote PowerShell use through Connect-IPPPSession | In line with our vision to enhance the security of our cloud, we plan to move the SCC admin experience to REST-based APIs. In doing so, we will be deprecating the legacy Remote PowerShell (RPS) protocol starting July 15, 2023. In releasing the REST interface, customers do not need to use RPS to access EOP. Instead, RPS-based cmdlets will run as REST API calls instead of running via an RPS session. The REST API has the same cmdlets available and feature parity with RPS v1 cmdlets, so existing scripts and processes don't need to be updated. Simply using the new module will ensure REST is used rather than RPS. [When this will happen:] |

| MC542827 | (Updated) Visio Organizational Trial offering | Beginning in April, we are enhancing our trial offering for Visio (MC306669, December 2021) by allowing users to sign up for a trial license, or request for a paid license with their AAD account. This update gives admins oversight and control over self-service trials and license requests. It also removes the need for users to input payment information when initiating a Visio trial.
Previously, self-service trials required a user to input payment information, requiring admins to take additional steps to manage billing and licensing. With this new enhancement, users will be able to start a trial without payment information or submit a request for a license directly in-product. Once a request is submitted by a user, admins will see a notification on the Microsoft 365 admin center’s home page. [When this will happen:] These capabilities will be rolled out starting late April and expected to complete by mid-May. |

Please note – this is not a new change and Teams DLP has been a part of the Microsoft 365 E5/A5/G5/F5 licenses since it was launched. Currently organizations with Microsoft 365 E3/G3/A3/F3 licenses assigned to their users are able to create Teams DLP policies, however starting June 30, 2023, organizations will require Microsoft 365 E5/A5/G5/F5 (or equivalent) licenses to use Teams DLP.

To prevent users from sharing sensitive information on Teams, customers need to assign Microsoft 365 E5/A5/G5/F5 licenses to their users as Teams DLP is made available through Microsoft 365 E5/A5/G5/F5 licenses. You can find a list of licenses that include Teams DLP capability here. Please note – this is not a new change and Teams DLP has been a part of the Microsoft 365 E5/A5/G5/F5 licenses since it was launched. Currently organizations with Microsoft 365 E3/G3/A3/F3 licenses assigned to their users are able to create Teams DLP policies, however starting June 30, 2023, organizations will require Microsoft 365 E5/A5/G5/F5 (or equivalent) licenses to use Teams DLP. [When this will happen:] June 30, 2023 |
