| MC808158 | (Updated) Microsoft Teams: Automatic location updates on bookable desks | Bookable desks refer to unassigned seats in the office that are equipped with devices such as monitors or other peripherals. Admins can associate these devices to a workspace account using the Teams Rooms Pro Management portal. This association will allow users to automatically claim a desk, and (in future) will provide IT with valuable usage analytics and reports. Learn more: Setting up Bookable Desks in Microsoft Teams - Microsoft Teams | Microsoft Learn. After configuring bookable desks, admins can enable automatic location updates at the tenant level or for a specific user group. Then, users can enable the feature at Teams > Settings (three-dot menu in top right of the screen) > Privacy > Sharing your work location. After users enable the feature, their work location will automatically update to In the office when they connect to a bookable desk, if their location was previously set to Unknown or Remote.
To help users find this feature, after an admin enables the feature, the banner "Looks like you're in the office" will appear the first time a user plugs into a bookable desk. After a user enables automatic location updates, the banner "You're connected to your organization's network or device" will appear once when they plug into a bookable desk. The banner confirms that the user has successfully enabled automatic location update. |
The user experience for Proximity Join on Microsoft Teams Rooms will not change as a result of this feature. The suggested room in the room list will be improved using ultrasound. Previous tenants that were not able to leverage the Proximity Join feature due to Bluetooth restrictions will be able to use Proximity Join via ultrasound with this release. This new feature will be enabled by default. |

No specific user action is required. Links to the previous domains are backwards compatible and will continue to be supported. Users may notice that the new application domains are lacking the .com extension, which is by design, because .microsoft is Microsoft's own top-level domain. This exclusivity allows for additional security and protection against spoofing. This change is on by default. |

With this change, please note that traffic moved to IPv6 will have more stringent authentication requirements, as described here Support for anonymous inbound email over IPv6 If you expect this change to cause any issues for your organization, please reach out via your regular support channels. https://aka.ms/m365endpoints https://learn.microsoft.com/defender-office-365/mail-flow-about#support-for-anonymous-inbound-email-over-ipv6 https://learn.microsoft.com/microsoft-365/enterprise/ipv6-support?view=o365-worldwide |
To take advantage of IPv6 connectivity, please make sure that you and your partner's update network allow-lists to allow Exchange Online IPv6 endpoints in the same way it allow-lists IPv4. The Exchange Online IPv6 endpoints can be found here: Microsoft 365 URLs and IP address ranges. To opt a domain out of inbound IPv6 so traffic flowing to the domain remains IPv4-only, please use Disable-IPv6ForAcceptedDomain -Domain for each domain you want to opt out of IPv6 (Disable-IPv6ForAcceptedDomain (ExchangePowerShell) | Microsoft Learn). IPv6 enablement may impact the source IP type used by Senders when connecting to Exchange Online, as the source and destination IP versions must match. For any IP Address-based Inbound connectors in Exchange Online that are referencing IPv4 addresses, you need to either: Keep the sending server as IPv4. Coordinate with the Sender so the Sender keeps connecting to your domain(s) via IPv4 or Opt your domain(s) out of IPv6 Change the IP based connector to certificate domain based connector. This applies to both OnPremises type (From: Your organization's email server, To: Office 365) and Partner Type connectors (From: Partner organization, To: Office 365). You can manage IPv6 for your Exchange Online Accepted Domains using the commands Enable-IPv6ForAcceptedDomain or Disable-IPv6ForAcceptedDomain. Currently, you can check the status of your Accepted Domains with the Get-IPv6StatusForAcceptedDomain command. While some customers have already enabled IPv6, most will see it as disabled until October 16th. After October 16, once IPv6 is enabled for your tenant, if you haven't explicitly set the IPv6 status for your Accepted Domains, the Get-IPv6StatusForAcceptedDomain command will reflect the new default behavior (enabled). IMPORTANT: To ensure your preferred settings are applied, please use the Enable-IPv6StatusForAcceptedDomain or Disable-IPv6StatusForAcceptedDomain commands before October 16th, after which IPv6 will be enabled by default if you haven't explicitly set it. https://learn.microsoft.com/microsoft-365/enterprise/ipv6-support?view=o365-worldwide https://learn.microsoft.com/microsoft-365/enterprise/urls-and-ip-address-ranges?view=o365-worldwide https://learn.microsoft.com/powershell/module/exchange/disable-ipv6foraccepteddomain?view=exchange-ps |

| MC862983 | (Updated) Microsoft Copilot to update to enterprise data protection | Users who sign in with an Entra account to Microsoft Copilot will be redirected automatically-no action is required. To ensure people across your organization have easy access to Microsoft Copilot and can benefit from the security and experience updates to Copilot, we recommend you enable in-app access today by pinning Microsoft Copilot. If you elect to pin Microsoft Copilot for your users, it will appear in the Microsoft 365 app starting mid-September, and it will be coming soon to Microsoft Teams and Outlook. The option to pin Copilot can be found under Settings on the Copilot page in the Microsoft 365 admin center (Global Admin permissions required). Note: This setting is for users who don't have a license for Copilot for Microsoft 365; licensed users will have it pinned by default just as it is today. Additionally, if your organization manages app distribution for mobile devices, you should push the Microsoft 365 mobile app to these users before mid-September. For self-managed devices, you should encourage users to download the Microsoft 365 mobile app before mid-September or they will be prompted to do so when this change happens. If you wish to inform your users prior to the change, you can use the below message: "Microsoft Copilot provides a powerful, web-grounded AI chat experience for work with enterprise data protection. Starting mid-September, you'll be redirected from copilot.microsoft.com and bing.com/chat to microsoft.com/copilot to access a simplified, ad-free Microsoft Copilot experience. If you use the Copilot mobile app, you will be redirected to the Microsoft 365 mobile app. If you do not have the Microsoft 365 app installed, you should do so." If you elect to pin Copilot, you can also include the following: "Microsoft Copilot will also be pinned inside the apps you use every day like the Microsoft 365 app, Outlook, and Teams to make it easier to use Copilot in your flow at work." Note: If you do not make a pinning selection by mid-September, your users will be prompted to pin Microsoft Copilot themselves. While not recommended, you can disable the prompt for end users with the same setting. [Additional Information:] If you would like to try the updated Microsoft Copilot with enterprise data protection prior to mid-September, a private preview is available (space limited).

| MC887373 | (Updated) Microsoft Purview: Minor encrypted message portal design updates, URL to remain the same | Educate users to recognize and expect static.microsoft as a key domain for Microsoft cloud experiences. Users can learn more about the .microsoft domain in What is cloud.microsoft? - Microsoft Support If your organizational websites, tools, or other materials reference the old URL outlook.office365.com/Encryption, those links will be automatically redirected. It would be good practice to update those assets and any documentation with screenshots to avoid user confusion. Admins should ensure that connections to *.static.microsoft are not blocked from their clients and enterprise networks. This recommendation should require no action if you are following standard Microsoft network guidance on domains and service endpoints https://learn.microsoft.com/microsoft-365/enterprise/cloud-microsoft-domain?view=o365-worldwide https://learn.microsoft.com/microsoft-365/enterprise/urls-and-ip-address-ranges https://messageencryption.purview.static.microsoft/ https://support.microsoft.com/office/what-is-cloud-microsoft-7ba4c8b9-d062-4444-84a5-fca6c3006d2b https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-365-blog/introducing-cloud-microsoft-a-unified-domain-for-microsoft-365/ba-p/3804961 |
You may consider updating training and documentation as appropriate. ---Summary of original message--- The Microsoft Purview Message Encryption portal provides access to encrypted messages sent from your organization's users to external recipients. The cloud.microsoft domain was provisioned in early 2023 to provide a unified, trusted, and dedicated DNS domain space to host Microsoft's first-party authenticated SaaS products and experiences. With this rollout, selected Microsoft products and scenarios will transition to a similar static.microsoft domain, in parallel with the previous domains. As part of this transition, the design of the portal (fonts, colors, controls, and more) will be adjusted to align with Purview branding and domain change. |
