MC498471 (Updated) IPv6 coming to Azure AD Updated March 21, 2023: Earlier, we had announced our plan to bring IPv6 support to Microsoft Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) enabling our customers to reach the Azure AD services over IPv4, IPv6 or dual stack endpoints. This is just a reminder that we’ll begin introducing IPv6 support into Azure AD services in a phased approach, starting March 31st, 2023.

If your networks don’t support IPv6, you don’t need to take any action to change your configurations or policies. For most customers, IPv4 won't completely disappear from their digital landscape, so we aren't planning to require IPv6 or to de-prioritize IPv4 in any Azure AD features or services. We will continue to share additional guidance on IPv6 enablement in Azure AD at this easy to remember link https://aka.ms/azureadipv6.

With the growing adoption and support of IPv6 across enterprise networks, service providers, and devices, many customers are wondering if their users can continue to access their services and applications from IPv6 clients and IPv6 networks.

Today, we’re excited to announce our plan to bring IPv6 support to Microsoft Azure Active Directory (Azure AD). This will allow customers to reach the Azure AD services over both IPv4 and IPv6 network protocols (dual stack).

For most customers, IPv4 won't completely disappear from their digital landscape, so we aren't planning to require IPv6 or to de-prioritize IPv4 in any Azure Active Directory features or services.

[When this will happen:]

We’ve been gradually rolling out IPv6 for some of our services for a while. Starting in late March 2023 we'll begin enabling IPv6 for Azure AD authentication. We will introduce IPv6 support into Azure AD authentication in a phased approach, beginning late March 2023.

Updated May 30, 2023: IPv6 support is rolling out globally across all Azure AD regions, which may have an impact on Azure Active Directory customers. Your users might experience blocks or receive more multi-factor authentication requests than usual. In such cases, we recommend reviewing your tenant’s sign-in logs.

This impact on your tenant could be due to end users connecting from IPv6 ranges that are not configured in your tenant’s Named locations. To address this, please follow the steps outlined on this page to identify IPv6 ranges in your tenant’s environment and configure the necessary settings.

Please share the following guidance with the relevant members of your IT administration team:

IT / Security Admin: Utilize the sign-in report described in the Identifying IPv6 traffic with Azure AD Sign-in activity reports. Use the resulting address list to determine if any IPv6 ranges need to be added to your Azure AD Security Named locations, following the steps provided. It’s also important to collaborate with your internal networking teams to verify IPv6 ranges for your organization, as required.

Network admin: Collaborate with your IT/Security admin to identify known IPv6 ranges in your network infrastructure. Add these ranges to your tenant’s existing Azure AD Named locations by following the steps provided.

We will continue to roll out IPv6 across all Azure AD regions until the end of June 2023.

MC537412 (Updated) Teams Rooms: Windows 11 support for Teams Rooms on Windows devices Updated May 11, 2023: We have updated the timeline and content below. Thank you for your patience.

Teams Rooms on Windows devices that are eligible for Windows 11 upgrade will receive the Windows 11 22H2 release in June 2023 (previously May). This will be offered and installed on their devices with 4.17 dot release. Devices that are not eligible due to an incompatible processor will continue to use Windows 10 per Windows hardware support policy. These devices will be offered Windows 10 22H2 release.

Devices that cannot upgrade to Windows 11 will continue to be supported until the end of Windows 10 End of servicing for General Availability Channel or hardware support from OEM, whichever comes first. Windows 10 releases information atWindows 10 release information. Please note, not all Windows releases are supported for Teams Rooms, to find supported version, see Microsoft Teams Rooms app version support.

In addition, Teams Rooms on Windows OEMs will shift their manufacturing to Windows 11 IoT Enterprise as Windows 10 IoT Enterprise end of license sales is fast approaching (10/14/2023). OEMs with existing Windows 10 licenses inventory (or to support recovery media for existing Windows 10 based devices) may continue to provide Windows 10 based images for some time that should automatically update to Windows 11 post setup. All OEMs are expected to move to Windows 11 IoT Enterprise based images in future. Customers should ensure all new hardware purchases check for Windows 11 compatibility to future proof their device investment.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 122148

[When this will happen:]

Standard Release: We will begin rolling out early May and expect to complete by late May.
Updated June 1, 2023: While our rollout plans have not changed, based on feedback from customers who need some additional time to test Windows 11, we are offering a temporary hold on Windows 11 upgrade to customers until November 20, 2023. Customers who want to utilize this option MUST follow these instructions before mid-June 2023 (before 4.17 app update) to delay upgrade to Windows 11.

Instructions:

Set this registry key to put the Windows 11 upgrade on an MTR on hold.

Path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PPI\SkypeSettings

Key: CBU11

Data: 1 (as a dword)

Delete the registry key to resume the upgrade.

Important: If you do not set this registry key prior to 4.17 app update (releasing in mid-June), eligible devices will automatically upgrade to Windows 11. Please also note that this only applies to existing in market/ in channel devices not on application version 4.17, and that OEMs have already moved to Windows 11 based images (due to end of sales for Windows 10 IoT Enterprise in Oct 2023, and lead time needed for OEMs to create media).

This setting applies only if your Power BI and Microsoft 365 tenants are in the same geographical region.

We will automatically enable this setting for all users, unless you disable it manually (instructions below).

MC554156 (Updated) Microsoft Teams: Two-way lobby chat Updated May 25, 2023: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.

The Virtual Appointments app provides a central hub for all your virtual appointments needs in Microsoft Teams. The app enables a seamless end-to-end experience for business-to-customer engagements.

Queue view in Virtual Appointments app is a premium advanced virtual appointment feature that allows businesses to Empower employees to manage and service scheduled and on-demand virtual appointments in one location with advanced capabilities to track wait times, live status of a meeting, and more. Scheduling administrators and staff conducting virtual appointments can monitor incoming requests and process them appropriately.

Two-way lobby chat in queue view will provide a seamless client experience with an interactive waiting room that allows facilitators to send waiting room messages to customers prior to the meeting. For example, a client in the waiting room can receive messages from the facilitator or other staff schedulers such as, “Last appointment is running long. Be with you in 5 mins.” The client can respond directly in chat so they can stay connected and ask any questions as needed. Two-way lobby chat is currently supported only for meetings joined from a mobile browser. Desktop browser is currently not supported.

MC560731 (Updated) Microsoft Teams: Updating the Bookings app to the Virtual Appointments app Bookings is supported across multiple entry points spanning Web, Teams and Outlook, however there is lack of parity in the feature set across these entry points leading to an inconsistent user experience. This fragmented experience has resulted in high DSAT for customers that has provided feedback to Microsoft to unify and provide feature parity in Bookings across all entry points.

The Bookings experience in Teams will soon be updated to match the web version on https://book.ms, ensuring consistent features across all endpoints. However, certain features like Forms, Queuing & scheduler-initiated SMS reminders for appointments will be available only on the new Virtual Appointments app on Teams.

With the Virtual Appointments app, we are introducing an end-to-end B2C meetings solution that leverages Bookings as the scheduling engine and includes advanced meetings features such as real time meeting state update, chat with attendees in waiting room lobby via Queue view, rich analytics to shows virtual appointment usage trends to drive business outcomes such as no-shows.

MC498471 (Updated) IPv6 coming to Azure AD We have guidance below which is specifically for Azure AD customers, who use IPv6 addresses and also use Named Locations in their Conditional Access policies.

If you have public IPv6 addresses representing your network, take the actions that are described in the following sections as soon as possible.

Customers who use named locations to identify specific network boundaries in their organization, need to:

Conduct an audit of existing named locations to anticipate potential impact;

Work with your network partner to identify egress IPv6 addresses in use in your environment.;

Review and update existing named locations to include the identified IPv6 ranges.

Customers who use Conditional Access location based policies, to restrict and secure access to their apps from specific networks, need to:

Conduct an audit of existing Conditional Access policies to identify use of named locations as a condition to anticipate potential impact;

Review and update existing Conditional Access location based policies to ensure they continue to meet your organization’s security requirements.

Failing to follow these steps might result in the following impact:

Users of IPv6 addresses may be blocked, depending on your organization's Conditional Access policies and Identity Protection configurations.

False positive detections due to 'Mark as trust location' not being checked for your internal networks and VPN’s can result in users being marked as risky.

We will continue to share additional guidance on IPv6 enablement in Azure AD here: IPv6 Support in Azure Active Directory.
