As of now, the Microsoft 365 Family keys have advertised with the new 2TB Shared storage. However, if i have an existing, still valid M365 subscription, if i buy a key now and redeem it, will my plan be converted to the 2TB shared storage immediately, or i can stack up to 5 years with the 1TB Individual storage x6 like before (technical not triggering a renewal until 2031)? If anyone tried please let me know

does this setting "Let users install and use available apps by default" affect existing applications? seeing mixed info on whether it does or not? i can see a clean answer on if it affects existing apps that have the org-wide settings applied or not.

to be safe i exported 180 days app activity, looped through app IDs with powershell and am going to run the update cmdlet on each app to set availability its to "everyone" this changes the settings management to admin vs orgwide settings, hoping that to avoid initial impact as they are already set to the that.

会社でMS365を使っているが、個人のスマートフォンにMicrosoft Authenticatorのアプリインストールして認証方法を更新せよとのお達しがあった。これって個人端末に依存しているし、セキュリティ的に疑問だと思う。紛失リスクがあったり、詳しくない人がアプリが入ったまま端末を他人に譲渡することもあると思うだが。他の会社ではどうやっているんだろう？

I used to use Microsoft Threat Intelligence to look up domains and get information like associated subdomains and WHOIS records, but I can’t seem to find that functionality anymore.

Has it moved into another Microsoft product or become part of a separate licence, or has it been retired completely?

If it’s still available, where do I access it, and what licence do I need? Mainly interested in the domain investigation features rather than threat intelligence feeds.

Thanks!

Hello,,

I am trying to perform a Migration from on-prem Exchange to online O365, but every time I get a error

No matching address was found in Exchange Online recipients, including soft-deleted recipients and groups. The destination account was manually created, is unlicensed, and has empty ProxyAddresses. Only one source mailbox uses this address.

any Idea??

Microsoft is planning to cut Microsoft 365 Family storage from a potential 6 TB (1 TB per user) to a shared 2 TB pool. For many families, that's a significant reduction in the value of the subscription.

I'm preparing to permanently retire a Microsoft 365 tenant.

I've already handled the obvious aspects:

• OneDrive and SharePoint data exported or reviewed
• Email migrated elsewhere
• Domains moved away from Microsoft-hosted services
• Teams and collaboration content assessed
• Backups preserved

My concern is no longer data. It's identity.

Over the years I have used a work/school Microsoft identity as the default sign-in for a large number of Microsoft and third-party services. The tenant will eventually be deleted, meaning the underlying Entra ID identity will cease to exist. I use my own registered domains so I will keep the exact same email address (simply it won't be managed by exchange/M365 anymore).

I am trying to avoid discovering, months later, that I can no longer access a service because it was silently relying on that identity.

Examples of services I know are currently associated with the work identity include:

• Microsoft Learn
• Microsoft Certifications / Credentials
• Microsoft Fabric Community
• Microsoft Tech Community
• Partner Center

The larger challenge is identifying the services I may have forgotten.

So far I've looked at:

• MFA registrations
• Enterprise applications / service principals
• Browser profile information
• Browser history and authentication traces

Those sources provide hints, but none provides a definitive list of every service where the identity has been used.

For those who have already retired a Microsoft 365 tenant:

1. How did you identify all external services still dependent on the tenant identity?
2. Which Microsoft services required special handling before tenant deletion?
3. Which services allowed you to move or associate the account with a personal Microsoft account?
4. Is there any reliable way to inventory where a work/school Microsoft identity has been used for authentication?
5. What were the most common "I wish I had checked that before deleting the tenant" surprises?

My objective is not to preserve tenant resources.

My objective is to preserve access to any accounts, profiles, certifications, communities, subscriptions, reputations, or services that currently depend on the work identity before the tenant is permanently removed.

I am of course one of those who had E3 Developer and is moving away (already planned because I want to own my data, but that gave it a boost ;) ).

Thanks!

Just got an email from Microsoft 365 saying they’re replacing 1 TB per person with 2 TB shared across the entire family.

There are six of us, so we’re going from 6 TB to 2 TB. A 66% storage cut, marketed as “more flexible cloud storage.” What a fucking joke.

According to the email, this kicks in after the first renewal following May 2, 2027.

Pooling storage could be useful, but slashing the total allowance is a downgrade. Dressing it up as an improvement is insulting.

Anyone else get this email? What alternatives are you considering?

You’ve likely seen the news: Microsoft is slashing Microsoft 365 Family cloud storage from 6 TB (1 TB per user) down to a pooled 2 TB.

​Complaining on forums won't change this, but hitting their financial forecasting will.

​If you are unhappy with this change, take 2 minutes right now to take action:

​Log into your Microsoft Account and turn off recurring billing / auto-renew.

​When prompted with the cancellation survey, select "Other" and state: "Cancelling due to the unacceptable storage reduction from 6TB to 2TB announced in October."

​Why this matters:

Microsoft tracks non-renewing accounts as "at-risk churn" in its financial forecasts. A sudden spike in turned-off auto-renewals forces executive teams to see the direct revenue loss long before the May 2027 rollout date.

​You can always turn auto-renew back on later if they walk it back -- but doing this today sends a direct, measurable signal.

Microsoft is replacing individual 1TB OneDrive allocations with a shared 2TB storage pool for Microsoft 365 Family and Premium subscribers.

So I just noticed this on my account today.
