Spring is in the air!
I love the springtime, which is why we chose a nice spring cocktail for this release. If you want to make the Cherry Springer yourself, check out https://www.diffordsguide.com/cocktails/recipe/4622/cherry-springer
This release we had a couple of objectives. Objective number 1 was that we wanted to give you even more speed than last release, and that worked. We modified the way we connect to Exchange and it makes everything so much faster. Loading times of everything related to exchange should be quite a bit lower.
But that's not all, backend changes are good fun but we're here for the meat, so let's dive into the new features we've made in the past two weeks.
Bulk User Add & Offboarding
We've added a tool to ease the creation of a bulk of users, including any field you want to add. you can upload a CSV, add users to the list by using the fields and create them all in one go. Super easy for migration situations and just generally when you onboard many new employees. We've also listened to our feature requests and added the ability to multi-select during the offboarding wizard.
Compliance Policies, App Protection Policies, and more
We've updated our templating engine to support Compliance Policies, App Protection Policies, and so much more. You'll find the new overviews under the same place as your other Intune Policies - Because our policy engine allows you to create templates, you can also deploy any of these policies using the Apply Policy screen, or the Standards.
Standards
We have a new contributor in our mids, @OfficialEsco has added quite a list of Defender and anti-phishing/Anti-spam standards. These standards allow you to set the best practice recommended defaults for your spamfiltering. It's a great contribution to the CIPP standards! Check them out now to see the power of these standards.
We've also added a standard to manage Cross-Tenant Access Settings, thanks for that @kris6673.
Mail Testing
Ever had delivery issues and weren't sure where they came from? Had problems finding out if your SPF is correct? we now have a built in mail testing solution, check it out under the Exchange Tools.
Other notable changes
