Have questions or thoughts?

You can now like, comment on and discuss every Message Center and Roadmap post, right here on its page. Tell other admins what happened in your tenant, and find out what happened in theirs.

Why this is here

A Message Center post tells you what is changing. It cannot tell you how it went for the tenant that got it a week before you did.

Admins already swap that in private chats and scattered threads: "it reached us on Monday", "this is what broke", "this setting turns it off". Now it sits next to the post it is about, where the next person will look.

What you can do

  • Like or dislike a post

    One press tells Microsoft and other admins how a change is landing. The counts show on the post and in the list.

  • Comment

    Say what happened when it reached your tenant, ask what a line in the post means, or share the setting that fixed it.

  • Reply and like comments

    Answer someone's question directly, and like the comments that helped so the next reader finds them first.

  • Hear back

    The bell in the header tells you when someone replies to you or mentions you.

Example

Microsoft Entra ID: passkey profiles and the registration campaign

Priya NairMVP2 days ago

This reached our tenant on Monday. Heads up: the registration campaign switched itself on, and about 300 people were asked to set up a passkey at sign-in the next morning.

If you are not ready for that, exclude a group or turn the campaign off before the rollout date.

Same here. Our help desk had 40 calls before 9am. Did excluding a group work for you?

Priya NairMVP1 day ago

Yes, nobody in the excluded group was prompted. Remember your break-glass accounts.

Not in our GCC tenant yet as of today. I will report back when it lands.

Who you are talking to

Discussions are hosted on zap.ms, a community site I'm building for people in the Microsoft community, focused on tech and getting work done. You sign in once and stay on this site.

  • We recommend signing in with LinkedIn, so people go by their real name. Microsoft, Google, GitHub and an emailed code work too.
  • An MVP or Microsoft badge next to a name is verified, not self-declared.
  • We only ask for your name, email and profile photo, and never post anything on your behalf.

How you can help

  • Share what you saw. When a change reaches your tenant, say when, what it did and what you changed. That is the comment everyone is looking for.
  • Answer a question if you know, and like the answers that helped you.
  • Send a post to a colleague. Every post has its own address, and its discussion comes with it.
  • Add your tenant to the archive. Posts differ by tenant; contributing yours fills in the ones others never receive.
  • Keep it friendly. Assume the other person means well; the community guidelines are short.
