Microsoft has started cracking down on conditional access licensing. No longer can you just get a license and use it for everyone. Not that it was ever legal to do so -- it wasn't. They always warned that policies may not apply as expected to unlicensed users and this was true for some policies. Now all of the are coming under license enforcement. It was only a mater of time. So today's lead article is how to figure out where you licensing gaps are. Then you have two options. Either buy more licenses or redesign your policies to narrow who they get applied to.
Today's last article is a user moment. Now you can link directly to the part of an article that you want someone to review. No more trying to describe what I need you to look at. Nice update and one you should tell your users about.
In between, the usual list of hints to Microsoft's direction, what's next and what needs to be done now.
