for M365 admins

I'm back from my short holiday and so are the blogs under watch. Interesting a lot of them ran roll-ups of previous content this week. I guess a lot of people were out enjoying the last of summer. 
 
This newsletter's premise is that in order to support Microsoft 365, you have to know both Microsoft's future direction and how to implement current changes. Together it makes for a well-rounded professional that doesn't get surprised or stress over the rate of change. If you follow Microsoft close enough, you can see the train a-comin'. Being the IT pro that has that sight is incredibly valuable. It makes you able to be proactive in your skillset and to-do list. Now that's a differentiator that everyone can get behind. 
 
This weeks newsletter is decidedly more technical that usual. Sometimes it happens like that. We follow the leads that Microsoft gives us. 
 
In the Newsletter this week
 
4 things to know: Catch-up on Purview's feature set. Text predictions are now OFF by default. OnMicrosoft.com new messaging limits. New look for Teams mobile.
 
ThirdTier: 6 person max mastermind group for small MSPs.
B²: It's never too soon to start running a better business. Join the October cohort.
 
4 things to do:  Make a plan to replace Active Directory. Try these 7 new features of Microsoft 365. Copilot licenses are starting to boom - get ready now. LDAP in New Outlook for a very specific reason.
 
 
I hope that you enjoy this week's newsletter and tell everyone to subscribe.

thanks, Amy
