POP、IMAP、および SMTP AUTH 2020 年に、POP、IMAP、および SMTP AUTH の OAuth 2.0 サポートをリリースしました。 一部のクライアント アプリへの更新は、これらの認証の種類をサポートするように更新されています (たとえば、Thunderbird は、21Vianet によって動作するOffice 365を使用しているお客様向けではありません)。そのため、最新バージョンのユーザーは OAuth を使用するように構成を変更できます。 Outlook クライアントが POP と IMAP の OAuth をサポートする予定はありませんが、Outlook は MAPI/HTTP （Windows クライアント）とEWS （Mac 版 Outlook）を使用して接続することができます。 これらのプロトコルを使用して電子メールを送信、読み取り、またはその他の方法で処理するアプリを構築したアプリケーション開発者は、同じプロトコルを維持できますが、ユーザーに対してセキュリティで保護された先進認証エクスペリエンスを実装する必要があります。 この機能は、Microsoft ID プラットフォーム v2.0 の上に構築され、Microsoft 365 メール アカウントへのアクセスをサポートします。 社内アプリケーションがExchange Onlineで IMAP、POP、SMTP AUTH プロトコルにアクセスする必要がある場合は、OAuth 2.0 認証を実装する手順に従います。OAuth を使用して IMAP、POP、または SMTP 接続を認証します。 さらに、PowerShell スクリプト Get-IMAPAccesstoken.ps1 を使用して、共有メールボックスのユース ケースを含む簡単な方法で、OAuth を有効にした後に IMAP アクセスをテストします。 基本認証が 2022 年 10 月 1 日に完全に無効になった場合でも、SMTP AUTH は引き続き使用できます。 SMTP が引き続き利用可能になる理由は、プリンターやスキャナーなどの多くの多機能デバイスを先進認証を使用するように更新できないためです。 ただし、可能な場合は、SMTP AUTH で基本認証を使用しないようにすることを強くお勧めします。 認証されたメールを送信するためのその他のオプションには、Microsoft Graph API などの代替プロトコルの使用があります。

Facing Compatibility Issues During Microsoft 365 Migration? Here's What You Need to Know

Microsoft 365 migration is never just a click-and-go process. Behind every successful move is a thorough compatibility check between systems, services, and user environments. If not done right, compatibility issues surface and disrupt everything from mailbox access to user authentication. These issues are more common than they should be, and they can derail your entire migration strategy.

Here’s a practical look at what causes these compatibility breakdowns and what steps you need to take to prevent them.

Legacy Systems That Don’t Meet Microsoft 365 Standards

Many organizations continue to operate with outdated infrastructure. Systems like Windows 7, older Outlook versions, or Exchange 2010 lack the protocols and security standards required by Microsoft 365. Without modernization, they create roadblocks during migration. For instance, a system that doesn’t support TLS 1.2 or Modern Authentication will fail to connect with Microsoft 365 services.

To prevent this, perform a full compatibility assessment of your OS, Exchange servers, and Outlook clients. Upgrade the environment or establish a hybrid setup that ensures continuity while you transition users.

Authentication Failures Due to Identity Conflicts

Identity and access management is a critical pillar in Microsoft 365. If your existing setup includes outdated AD FS configurations or incomplete Azure AD synchronization, users will face login failures, broken SSO, and token-related issues. Compatibility mismatches between your on-prem directory and cloud directory often go unnoticed until users can’t sign in after cutover.

Define your identity model well in advance. Whether you choose cloud-only, hybrid, or federated, validate it with pilot users. Ensure directory sync, UPN alignment, and conditional access policies are correctly applied.

Unsupported Add-ins and Custom Applications

Custom Outlook add-ins, CRM connectors, or VBA-based automations are often built around legacy environments. These integrations may fail in Microsoft 365 because they rely on outdated APIs or local server paths. Post-migration, users report missing features or broken workflows, which is not a mailbox problem but a compatibility one.

Catalog all active plugins and applications. Check vendor documentation for Microsoft 365 support. Transition to updated versions or re-develop legacy tools using supported APIs like Microsoft Graph.

PST and Archive Data That Can’t Be Imported

PST files from end-user systems or public folder archives frequently carry hidden corruption, non-compliant data formats, or unusually large attachments. These can cause import failures or lead to incomplete data availability after migration.

To avoid surprises, pre-scan PST files using tools that verify integrity. Break large PSTs into manageable sizes. Use modern utilities that support direct PST import with accurate folder mapping and duplicate prevention.

Email Clients and Mobile App Incompatibility

Not all email clients are built to support Microsoft 365. Legacy Android apps, IMAP clients, or older iOS Mail apps often lack support for OAuth or Modern Authentication. Once migrated, users might encounter repeated login prompts or full access loss.

Standardize supported apps in advance. Recommend and configure Outlook for mobile. Use device management policies to enforce security compliance. Disable access for non-compliant clients using conditional access in Microsoft 365 admin settings.

Loss of Mailbox Permissions and Calendar Access

Access issues post-migration are common when shared mailbox permissions or calendar delegation rights aren’t migrated properly. Users may suddenly lose visibility into shared mailboxes or receive errors when trying to access team calendars.

Before migrating, document all mailbox and folder-level permissions. After migration, reapply them using PowerShell scripts or a tool that automates permission preservation. Always validate shared access functionality with test users before expanding the migration to all users.

Conclusion

Compatibility issues don’t happen randomly during Microsoft 365 migrations. They are the result of incomplete planning or assumptions that legacy systems will integrate seamlessly with modern cloud environments. The only way to mitigate them is through comprehensive discovery, pre-validation, and the right migration tooling.

If you want to reduce risk and accelerate your migration with minimal disruption, consider using EdbMails Office 365 migration tool. It simplifies complex moves, retains all mailbox properties and permissions, supports hybrid and tenant-to-tenant scenarios, and ensures seamless migration across environments. It’s a trusted choice for IT teams who need control, flexibility, and reliability.

Exploring the Power of Microsoft Identity Platform

Join us on a journey to understand how Microsoft Identity Platform revolutionizes user access, enhancing both security and user experience.

What is microsoft identity platform?

The Microsoft identity platform is a cloud identity service that allows you to build applications your users and customers can sign in to using their Microsoft identities or social accounts. It authorizes access to your own APIs or Microsoft APIs like Microsoft Graph.

OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect standard-compliant authentication service enabling developers to authenticate several identity types, including:

Work or school accounts, provisioned through Microsoft Entra ID

Personal Microsoft accounts (Skype, Xbox, Outlook.com)

Social or local accounts, by using Azure AD B2C

Social or local customer accounts, by using Microsoft Entra External ID

Open-source libraries:

Microsoft Authentication Library (MSAL) and support for other standards-compliant libraries. The open source MSAL libraries are recommended as they provide built-in support for conditional access scenarios, single sign-on (SSO) experiences for your users, built-in token caching support, and more. MSAL supports the different authorization grants and token flows used in different application types and scenarios.

Microsoft identity platform endpoint:

The Microsoft identity platform endpoint is OIDC certified. It works with the Microsoft Authentication Libraries (MSAL) or any other standards-compliant library. It implements human readable scopes, in accordance with industry standards.

Application management portal:

A registration and configuration experience in the Microsoft Entra admin center, along with the other application management capabilities.

Application configuration API and PowerShell:

Programmatic configuration of your applications through the Microsoft Graph API and PowerShell so you can automate your DevOps tasks.

Developer content:

Technical documentation including quickstarts, tutorials, how-to guides, API reference, and code samples.

For developers, the Microsoft identity platform offers integration of modern innovations in the identity and security space like passwordless authentication, step-up authentication, and Conditional Access. You don't need to implement such functionality yourself. Applications integrated with the Microsoft identity platform natively take advantage of such innovations.

With the Microsoft identity platform, you can write code once and reach any user. You can build an app once and have it work across many platforms, or build an app that functions as both a client and a resource application (API).

More identity and access management options

Azure AD B2C - Build customer-facing applications your users can sign in to using their social accounts like Facebook or Google, or by using an email address and password.

Microsoft Entra B2B - Invite external users into your Microsoft Entra tenant as "guest" users, and assign permissions for authorization while they use their existing credentials for authentication.

Microsoft Entra External ID - A customer identity and access management (CIAM) solution that lets you create secure, customized sign-in experiences for your customer-facing apps and services.

The Components that make up the Microsoft identity platform:

OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect standard-compliant authentication service enabling developers to authenticate several identity types, including:

Work or school accounts, provisioned through Microsoft Entra ID

Personal Microsoft accounts (Skype, Xbox, Outlook.com)

Social or local accounts, by using Azure AD B2C

Social or local customer accounts, by using Microsoft Entra External ID

Deprecation of basic authentication in Exchange Online

Introduction

Microsoft has announced the deprecation of Basic authentication in Exchange Online. Basic authentication will be permanently disabled in Exchange Online on October 1st, 2022. More specifically, Microsoft is removing the ability to use Basic authentication in Exchange Online for Exchange ActiveSync (EAS), POP, IMAP, Remote PowerShell, Exchange Web Services (EWS), Offline Address Book (OAB), Outlook for Windows, and Mac. The SMTP AUTH option will also be disabled in all tenants in which it's not being used. All new Microsoft 365 tenants are created with Basic authentication turned off, since this is part of the Security defaults configuration. Basic authentication, also known as legacy authentication, means the application sends a username and password with every request, and those credentials are also often stored or saved on the device. Traditionally, Basic authentication is enabled by default on most servers or services, and is simple to set up. Modern authentication is the successor technology of basic authentication and uses OAuth 2.0 token-based authorization.

Action items for end customers

There are various ways to tell if your applications are using basic authentication and not modern authentication to connect to Exchange Online. For Microsoft Outlook client, if you click CTRL and right-click the Outlook icon in the system tray, then click "Connection Status", the Authn column in the Outlook Connection Status dialog shows the value of Clear for basic authentication and the value of Bearer for modern authentication. You can also use the Azure AD sign-in report to determine which tenants and users are still using basic authentication. Modern authentication to Exchange Online presents a Web-based login screen such as the following.

Basic authentication on the other hand presents a Windows form similar to the following.

To enable or disable modern authentication for your M365 tenant, follow instructions in the article below: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/clients-and-mobile-in-exchange-online/enable-or-disable-modern-authentication-in-exchange-online The following cases will be impacted by the replacement of basic authentication with modern authentication: - Application developers who have built apps that send, read, or otherwise process email using these protocols will be able to keep the same protocol, but need to implement secure, Modern authentication experiences for their users. Detailed guidance is provided at: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/client-developer/legacy-protocols/how-to-authenticate-an-imap-pop-smtp-application-by-using-oauth. Also if you are the developer of a custom application utilizing Exchange Web Services (EWS), you will need to switch to the Microsoft Graph API. Detailed instructions are provided at: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/exchange-team-blog/upcoming-changes-to-exchange-web-services-ews-api-for-office-365/ba-p/608055. - Exchange Active Sync mobile device users will need to ensure that their mobile device email app is using modern authentication. One option is to use Outlook for iOS and Android when connecting to Exchange Online, because these apps natively support Modern authentication. There are other mobile device email apps which support Modern authentication. The built-in email apps for all popular platforms typically support Modern authentication, so you need to verify that your mobile device is running the latest version of the app. If the email app is current, but is still using Basic authentication, you might need to remove the account from the device and then add it back. - If you are a Powershell administrator and need to run scripts against an Exchange Online tenant, you need to make use of the EXO V2 module which uses Modern authentication and works with multi-factor authentication (MFA) for connecting to all Exchange-related PowerShell environments in Microsoft 365: Exchange Online PowerShell, Security & Compliance PowerShell, and standalone Exchange Online Protection (EOP) PowerShell. The EXO V2 module can also be used non-interactively, which enables running unattended scripts via certificate-based authentication. certificate-based authentication for Powershell unattended scripts is described at App-only authentication for unattended scripts in the EXO V2 module. - Regarding Microsoft Outlook client support for modern authentication you should consult the following articles: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office365/enterprise/modern-auth-for-office-2013-and-2016 and New minimum Outlook for Windows version requirements for Microsoft 365. All versions of Outlook for Windows since 2016 have Modern authentication enabled by default, so it's likely that you're already using Modern authentication. Outlook Anywhere (formerly known as RPC over HTTP) has been deprecated in Exchange Online in favor of MAPI over HTTP. Outlook for Windows uses MAPI over HTTP, EWS, and OAB to access mail, set free/busy and out of office, and download the Offline Address Book. All of these protocols support Modern authentication. Outlook 2007 or Outlook 2010 cannot use Modern authentication, and will eventually be unable to connect. Outlook 2013 requires a setting to enable Modern authentication, but once you configure the setting, Outlook 2013 can use Modern authentication with no issues. Outlook 2013 requires a minimum update level to connect to Exchange Online. Outlook for Mac supports modern authentication. - If you have public folders in a legacy Exchange server-based system, you will need to consult the following article to migrate to Exchange Online with modern authentication support: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/exchange-team-blog/announcing-public-folder-migration-scripts-with-modern/ba-p/3382800.

Licensing and editions(edit)

Neo4j comes in 2 editions: Community and Enterprise. It is dual-licensed: GPL v3 and a commercial license. The Community Edition is free but is limited to running on one node only due to the lack of clustering and is without hot backups.(31)

The Enterprise Edition unlocks these limitations, allowing for clustering, hot backups, and monitoring. The Enterprise Edition is available under a closed-source Commercial license.

Data structure(edit)

In Neo4j, everything is stored in the form of an edge, node, or attribute. Each node and edge can have any number of attributes. Both nodes and edges can be labelled. Labels can be used to narrow searches. As of version 2.0, indexing was added to Cypher with the introduction of schemas.(32) Previously, indexes were supported separately from Cypher.(33)

Neo4j, Inc.(edit)

Neo4j is developed by Neo4j, Inc., based in the San Francisco Bay Area, United States, and also in Malmö, Sweden. The Neo4j, Inc. board of directors consists of Michael Treskow (Eight Roads), Emmanuel Lang (Greenbridge), Christian Jepsen, Denise Persson (CMO of Snowflake), David Klein (One Peak), and Emil Eifrem (CEO of Neo4j).(34)

Get the Last Password Change Date Using PowerShell in Microsoft 365

Table of Contents One of the key components of security is managing passwords. Password management is a critical aspect of maintaining security in the digital realm. In this comprehensive guide, we will discuss various methods for checking the last password change date in Microsoft 365.There are three methods for checking the last password change date in Microsoft 365: Using the Entra admin centerUsing Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDKUsing Microsoft Graph API Using the Entra admin center 1. Visit the Entra admin center then login using an administrative account.2. Navigate to Users | All users | Manage view | Edit columns. 3. Select the option Last password change date time from the list. Now the last password change date time is shown. Using the Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK The second way is using Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK. This method requires you to install some PowerShell modules on your machine. But, if you're familiar with the other Microsoft modules such as MSOL, ExchangeOnlineManagement, AzureAD...this is a good option.1. Install the required Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK module by opening PowerShell as administrator then run the following command: Install-Module -Name Microsoft.Graph.Users -Scope CurrentUser 2. Getting the user’s information requires a certain level of permissions to be granted to the Microsoft Graph Command Line Tools application. So, in this case, we need to connect to Graph PowerShell with the following scopes: Connect-MgGraph -Scopes "User.Read.All" To get the last password change date for a particular user, use this Microsoft Graph PowerShell script: # Get the user information $properties = @('DisplayName','UserPrincipalName','AccountEnabled','lastPasswordChangeDateTime') $userId = 'adelev@duybao.me' $result = Get-MgUser -UserId $userId -Property $properties # Get the user's last password change date and time $result | Select-Object $properties Similarly, to get the last password change date timestamp of all users, use the following PowerShell script: $properties = @('DisplayName','UserPrincipalName','AccountEnabled','lastPasswordChangeDateTime') Get-MgUser -All -Property $properties | Select-Object $properties This information can be very helpful for administrators who need to monitor user accounts and ensure their passwords are secure. To export the last password change date for all users to a CSV file, here is the PowerShell script: # Set the properties to retrieve $properties = @( "id", "displayName", "userprincipalname", "lastPasswordChangeDateTime", "mail", "jobtitle", "department" ) # Retrieve the password change date timestamp of all users $result = Get-MgUser -All -Property $Properties | Select-Object $properties $result | Format-Table # Export to CSV # $result | Export-Csv -Path "C:TempPasswordChangeTimeStamp.csv" -NoTypeInformation Using Microsoft Graph REST API Alternatively, we can use the Microsoft Graph Rest API to export the last time password change of all users in a Microsoft 365 tenant. When using this method:We don't need to install any modules of the Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK (~ 80 modules).We can do it from any computer with Microsoft PowerShell or PowerShell Core installed (Linux and macOS are supported with PowerShell 7+ installed).Use the native PowerShell cmdlet Invoke-RestMethod to make a request.Instead of using an account for authentication and authorization, we use the app-only access (access without a user).Important: Before you begin, make sure you've created an app registration in Microsoft entra admin center and collect some required information such as clientId, tenantId and the clientSecret.Once the app has been created, replace your app's information (clientId, tenantId and the clientSecret) into the below code. Steps in the script:Get access token ($token) with app registration client secret.Create the request header ($headers) for API call.Create requests to the Microsoft Graph resource ($userEndpoint) with pagination to get all data.Build the report ($result) from API call response.Output options to console, graphical grid view or export to CSV file. # Define variables $clientId = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" $clientSecret = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" $tenantId = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" # Get OAuth token $tokenEndpoint = "https://login.microsoftonline.com/$tenantId/oauth2/v2.0/token" $body = @ client_id = $clientId client_secret = $clientSecret grant_type = "client_credentials" scope = "https://graph.microsoft.com/.default" $response = Invoke-RestMethod -Method Post -Uri $tokenEndpoint -Body $body # Extract access token $accessToken = $response.access_token # Create the request header for API call $headers = @ "Authorization" = "Bearer $accessToken" "Content-Type" = "application/json" $userEndpoint = "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users?`$select=DisplayName,UserPrincipalName,AccountEnabled,lastPasswordChangeDateTime&`$top=100" #Perform pagination if next page link (odata.nextlink) returned $result = @() while ($null -ne $userEndpoint) $response = Invoke-RestMethod -Method GET -Uri $userEndpoint -Headers $headers $users = $response.value ForEach($user in $users) $Result += New-Object PSObject -property $([ordered]@ DisplayName = $user.displayName UserPrincipalName = $user.userPrincipalName AccountEnabled = $user.AccountEnabled lastPasswordChangeDateTime = $user.lastPasswordChangeDateTime ) $userEndpoint = $response.'@odata.nextlink' # Output options to console, graphical grid view or export to CSV file. $result | Format-Table # $result | Out-GridView # $result | Export-CSV "C:Result.csv" -NoTypeInformation -Encoding UTF8

PowerShell 7.0 Generally Available

PowerShell 7.0 Generally Available.

What is PowerShell 7?

PowerShell 7 is the latest major update to PowerShell, a cross-platform (Windows, Linux, and macOS) automation tool and configuration framework optimized for dealing with structured data (e.g. JSON, CSV, XML, etc.), REST APIs, and object models. PowerShell includes a command-line shell, object-oriented scripting language, and a set of tools for executing scripts/cmdlets and managing modules. After three successful releases of PowerShell Core, we couldn’t be more excited about PowerShell 7, the next chapter of PowerShell’s ongoing development. With PowerShell 7, in addition to the usual slew of new cmdlets/APIs and bug fixes, we’re introducing a number of new features, including: Pipeline parallelization with ForEach-Object -ParallelNew operators:Ternary operator: a ? b : cPipeline chain operators: || and &&Null coalescing operators: ?? and ??=A simplified and dynamic error view and Get-Error cmdlet for easier investigation of errorsA compatibility layer that enables users to import modules in an implicit Windows PowerShell sessionAutomatic new version notificationsThe ability to invoke to invoke DSC resources directly from PowerShell 7 (experimental) The shift from PowerShell Core 6.x to 7.0 also marks our move from .NET Core 2.x to 3.1. .NET Core 3.1 brings back a host of .NET Framework APIs (especially on Windows), enabling significantly more backwards compatibility with existing Windows PowerShell modules. This includes many modules on Windows that require GUI functionality like Out-GridView and Show-Command, as well as many role management modules that ship as part of Windows.

Awesome! How do I get PowerShell 7?

First, check out our install docs for Windows, macOS, or Linux. Depending on the version of your OS and preferred package format, there may be multiple installation methods. If you already know what you’re doing, and you’re just looking for a binary package (whether it’s an MSI, ZIP, RPM, or something else), hop on over to our latest release tag on GitHub. Additionally, you may want to use one of our many Docker container images.

What operating systems does PowerShell 7 support?

PowerShell 7 supports the following operating systems on x64, including: Windows 7, 8.1, and 10Windows Server 2008 R2, 2012, 2012 R2, 2016, and 2019macOS 10.13+Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) / CentOS 7+Fedora 29+Debian 9+Ubuntu 16.04+openSUSE 15+Alpine Linux 3.8+ARM32 and ARM64 flavors of Debian and UbuntuARM64 Alpine Linux

Wait, what happened to PowerShell “Core”?

Much like .NET decided to do with .NET 5, we feel that PowerShell 7 marks the completion of our journey to maximize backwards compatibility with Windows PowerShell. To that end, we consider PowerShell 7 and beyond to be the one, true PowerShell going forward. PowerShell 7 will still be noted with the edition “Core” in order to differentiate 6.x/7.x from Windows PowerShell, but in general, you will see it denoted as “PowerShell 7” going forward.

Which Microsoft products already support PowerShell 7?

Any module that is already supported by PowerShell Core 6.x is also supported in PowerShell 7, including: Azure PowerShell (Az.*)Active DirectoryMany of the modules in Windows 10 and Windows Server (check with Get-Module -ListAvailable) On Windows, we’ve also added a -UseWindowsPowerShell switch to Import-Module to ease the transition to PowerShell 7 for those using still incompatible modules. This switch creates a proxy module in PowerShell 7 that uses a local Windows PowerShell process to implicitly run any cmdlets contained in that module. For those modules still incompatible, we’re working with a number of teams to add native PowerShell 7 support, including Microsoft Graph, Office 365, and more. Read the full article
