Data Lifecycle Management – Classic Exchange Admin Centre features migrating to Microsoft Purview Compliance portal

Microsoft has announced that Information Governance features currently available in the Classic Exchange Admin Center including Retention policies, Retention tags, and Journal rules are moving to the Microsoft Purview Compliance portal.

This is today’s #MicrosoftCloudQuickFix !

Retention Policies and Retention tags from messaging records management, and journaling rules are older compliance features that were originally managed in the Classic Exchange Admin Center. With the pending retirement of the Classic Exchange Admin Center forthcoming these features will not be brought forward to the new Exchange Admin Center but rather will be available as part of the Data Lifecycle Management solution found inside the Microsoft Purview Compliance portal under Data lifecycle management > Exchange (legacy).

Rollout of this change will begin in early August 2022 and is expected to be completed by the end of the month. Please advise your Exchange administrators or team responsible for Exchange compliance management and adjust access to the Microsoft Purview Compliance portal as needed.

Set out of office within Microsoft Teams

Today’s #MicrosoftCloudQuickFix is that starting shortly #Microsoft will begin the rollout of the “Set out of office within #MicrosoftTeams” capability.

With this update, you can create an out of office message from within Microsoft Teams desktop or Microsoft Teams on the web and the message will sync across your Outlook calendar, presence, and contact card information!

Look for this to appear in #MicrosoftTeams in May 2021!

Decommission your on-premises Exchange servers?

I had a customer ask if after they were done migrating all their mailboxes and services from their local on-premises Exchange Server to Exchange Online if they could remove their local Exchange server. You certainly cant blame them for wanting to with the recent news of zero-day vulnerabilities for Microsoft Exchange Server that are being actively exploited and that Exchange Online was not at risk.

I remembered a great article posted a few years back by Paul Cunningham on Practical365.com and in it the following:

“If you have directory synchronization in place, then you need to manage the mail attributes of users, groups, and contacts in the on-premises Active Directory, and then allow those changes to synchronize to Azure Active Directory. The only 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗱 way to manage the mail attributes on-premises is using the Exchange management tools, which requires at least one Exchange server to be running.”

The key word is 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗱 and sadly no new updates from Microsoft have come since 2017 so for now the answer is no you must keep at least one Exchange Server on-premises and this has been your #MicrosoftCloudQuickFix
