DNS resolution will safely fallback to "plain" DNS if a domain is not DNSSEC enabled. If an Accepted Domain you add to the Exchange Admin Center after July 1st is not secured with DNSSEC at the domain level (ex. contoso.com), then DNS resolution will work as usual. If an Accepted Domain you add to the EAC after July 1st is secured with DNSSEC, then DNSSEC will extend to the mx.microsoft DNS record automatically and you will get the benefits of DNSSEC without having to take any further action. Any issues with DNSSEC can be addressed by disabling DNSSEC for the Accepted Domain (ex. contoso.com) via your DNS provider. |

| MC1113112 | (Updated) Microsoft Exchange Online | Releasing Multi-Geo In-Region Routing | Updated July 31, 2025: We have updated the content. Thank you for your patience. [Introduction] We're introducing Multi-Geo In-Region Routing (IRR) for Exchange Online, a new capability that helps organizations meet regional data residency requirements by allowing inbound email routing to be aligned with user locations. With IRR, admins can configure accepted domains to route messages directly to a designated geo-region, ensuring that email data is processed and stored entirely within the recipient's region-even if it differs from the tenant's primary location. This helps organizations meet compliance requirements without compromising email delivery performance. This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 410245. [When this will happen:] Public Preview: We will begin rolling out in early August 2025 and expect to complete by end of August 2025. General Availability (Worldwide): We expect to begin rolling out in early October 2025 and expect to complete by late October 2025. |

In 2023, we introduced Microsoft Teams apps that are compatible with Microsoft Outlook and the Microsoft 365 App (manifest version v1.13 or higher). Before this rollout, admin changes made in the Integrated apps section of the Microsoft 365 admin center would only affect these Teams apps in Outlook and the Microsoft 365 app. Similarly, changes made in the Teams admin center would exclusively affect Teams. Starting in June 2024, we will roll out Unified App Management to streamline the management of these apps across Teams, Outlook and the Microsoft 365 App, so they are consistently available across all supported clients. This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 393931. [When this will happen:] This rollout will happen in two major phases. Unified App Management can apply only to tenants that have migrated to app centric management in Teams admin center, as communicated in MC688930 (Updated) Teams admin center: App centric management and changes to app permission policies (November 2023).

No merge rules apply to these tenants, but after this phase, any app management setting configured in either admin centers will apply to all relevant hosts. Phase 2: We will update this post with a timeline and more details in May 2025 (previously April 2025). This phase is applicable to tenants with app settings that have differences between Microsoft 365 admin center (Integrated apps) and Teams admin center. |
