  • Office 365 will proactively check DNS records to find and fix DNS issues.

“DNS records will proactively be checked by Office 365. If your DNS records do not match what we expect for your environment, you will receive a notification when you are logged into your Office 365 admin center.”

  • Common Admin tasks will be more streamlined for efficiency.

“We’ve reduced the number of steps required to create new users by adding the ability to automatically assign your available Office 365 licenses. We’ve streamlined the task of managing users, too. The updated user detail panel now contains more user information, such as the assigned Office 365 license and associated email addresses.”

  • Commonly used settings in the admin center will be more centrally available.

“Three commonly used external collaboration settings are now grouped together in the External Sharing tab on the Office 365 admin center left navigation menu.”
