Exchange Online Shared Mailboxes are now disabled

Exchange Online Shared Mailboxes are now disabled

Hi All, Did you notice that the EntraID User Accounts are now disabled when you create Shared Mailboxes in Exchange Online? In April this of Year i saw, that Shared Mailboxes in Exchange Online had disabled Entra Accounts. But it was not consistent in diffrent Tenants and disappeared after a few days. Now i have retested this, and the Entra ID Accounts of Shared Mailboxes are now disabled. I can’t tell when this change was implemented and i didn’t see any Documentation or Information in the Message Center - but it’s possible i’ve overseen that.

Installing ADFS on Windows Server 2025

Andres Bohren
Hi All, For a Project i had to test something with ADFS. That’s why i have set up an Active Directory Federation Server/Service (ADFS) on a Windows Server 2025. To be clear: I don’t advocte for installing ADFS. In contrary i still recommend to use Entra ID instead of ADFS and get rid of Federated Domain in M365. Install Windows Feature Install-WindowsFeature ADFS-Federation -IncludemanagementTools Certificate There are many ways on how to get a public Certificate.
