Office 365 Weekly Digest | August 11 – 17, 2019

Weekly Digest  1 Comment

Welcome to the August 11 – 17, 2019 edition of the Office 365 Weekly Digest.

Twenty four features were added to the Office 365 Roadmap last week, with half of those for two updates to Excel on each of the various platforms (online, desktop, Android, iOS, Mac, etc.). There are also updates for Teams, Planner, Forms, OneDrive, SharePoint, and MyAnalytics.

There are (again) lots of additions to existing event series, along with a couple of new OneDrive-related events on Tuesday, August 27, 2019. It’s tough to choose just one spotlight event this week, so it’s a tie between the “Ask Microsoft Anything (AMA) on Skype for Business Online to Teams Upgrade” and the “Back to School with Microsoft Teams!” sessions, all on Thursday, August 22, 2019 starting at 8am Pacific.

Highlights from last week’s blogs include a look at SharePoint updates for August 2019, the top 5 advantages of sharing with OneDrive, info on how to dynamically convert MSI versions of Project and Visio to Click-to-Run, and the announcement of FastTrack guidance for Windows 10 deployment.

Wrapping up the post are noteworthy items for list groups in Microsoft To-Do, ways to personalize your navigation header in Yammer, Teams Rooms updates, and details on how to allow Microsoft Teams external chat while securing guest access.

OFFICE 365 ROADMAP

Below are the items added to the Office 365 Roadmap last week…

DescriptionFeature IDEstimated ReleaseDetails
Audio Conferencing via Direct Routing for GCC High and GCC DoD54236August CY2019Added: 12 August 2019
Status: In development
App / Service: Teams
Audio Conferencing via Direct Routing for GCC High and GCC DoD enables participants to join your organization’s meetings using a standard phone number. Participants choose to use a phone to join meetings for scenarios where Internet connectivity is limited, are in transit, or don’t have access to a Teams application. Participants can join the meeting either by using the dial-in access numbers of your organization or by having the meeting dial out to a phone number. Configuring this feature requires your organization to use its own numbers for dial-in access and all meeting dial-outs to phones are via Direct Routing. To enable the service, organizations need to set up Direct Routing and configure phone numbers that can be used for dial-in access. GCC High and DoD customers should note that the requirement to use direct routing is different from the Audio Conferencing service that is offered to commercial organizations where the dial-in access numbers are provided by Microsoft. Please be sure to review the correct documentation for this offering. We expect the documentation to be available at the same time as General Availability for the feature.
Microsoft Teams – Phone System Launching for GCC High and DoD54207August CY2019Added: 12 August 2019 Status: In development
App / Service: Teams
Phone System enables call control and PBX capabilities in the Office 365 cloud for Microsoft Teams. Microsoft is now enabling this environment for Microsoft 365 GCC High and DoD.
Office ATP AIR – Exposing Investigation data through Management Activity API53624August CY2019Added: 15 August 2019 Status: In development
App / Service: Office 365 ATP
In response to customer feedback and suggestions, and to ensure that our customers have access to critical information to investigate security incidents in their tenancy, we have made some enhancements to the Automated Investigation and Response (AIR) feature in Office 365 ATP. We have been working to meet the extensibility requirements of our customers, who want to leverage the intelligence of our investigations within their custom tools. As part of this work, we will be exposing information about AIR investigations through the Office 365 Management Activity API. This data will include Investigation metadata like ID, Name, Originating Alert ID along with link to the investigation for further analysis. In addition to this, we will also be providing high level information about the investigation actions and entities associated with that investigation. The investigation data will be sent as an event to the Management Activity API on the change of the status of an investigation. As an example, when the status of an investigation changes from Running to Pending Action, it will be captured as an event with the latest investigation data for that state made available through the Management Activity API. The enhancement will begin to rollout by end of July and is targeted to be saturated by 2nd week of August.

Dynamically convert MSI versions of Project and Visio to Click-to-Run

With the latest release of the Office Deployment Tool (ODT) we have implemented a new feature based on customer feedback. It is now possible to make the installation of a C2R product dependent on the previous presence of an MSI-based product. As it works for all products, it is especially helpful when deploying Project and/or Visio to users which had it previously. The feature is known as MSI Condition. In the past customers created very complex scripting to detect and replace Office products, in some cases running the install up to three times based on the number of previous products detected. We have even seen customers simply ignore Project and Visio and remove everything, then wait for helpdesk to get a call and replace it with the version the end user requested. MSI Condition makes your migration from MSI to C2R flow smoothly with one XML for your deployment which dynamically adjusts to the task at hand. | Related: Announcing Office 365 ProPlus Device-based Subscription for Education!

In fact, you can have a list for every aspect of your life. But once you start to add a lot of lists and your holiday packing plans mingle with your work tasks, it becomes easier to lose focus.

Multi-Geo Capabilities in Office now available in South Africa and the United Arab Emirates

A growing rise in regulatory requirements places more onus on organizations to control the geographic location of where data is stored so that it can be kept within specific regional boundaries. If you don’t have a solution for this, you may feel less confident in expanding your business into new markets, distributing your workforce or even moving to the Cloud. The traditional way to tackle data residency has been to manage people and resources who reside in different countries or regions within the organization as separate entities, even though you are all part of the same organization. Office 365 Multi-Geo capabilities enable a single Office 365 tenant to span across multiple Office 365 datacenter geographies (geos), and gives customers the ability to store their Exchange Online and OneDrive, SharePoint Online and Office 365 Groups data, at-rest, on a per-user basis, in their chosen geos and we’re pleased to announce to expanded Office 365 Multi-Geo capabilities to South Africa and the United Arab Emirates.

Allow Microsoft Teams External Chat While Securing Guest Access – Michael on the Go

As regulated industry customers roll out Microsoft Teams to their users there is oftentimes a desire to lock the whole system down in order to prevent Guest Access until such time as the organization get their head around the processes and services they can put in place to ensure compliance. However, in such instances these same orgs initially may take a sledge hammer approach that not only prevents Guest Access to content but also will block the ability to chat and converse with external individuals who they need to collaborate with.
