Hey folks!
Our team has been handling a lot of questions on our email alias sso-info@microsoft.com and is more than happy to have longer-form conversations there with anyone who would like to discuss with us. Please feel free to reach out there if you have questions for us. Answering questions thus far:
- JLAranz - This applies only to applications that run on the windows OS that are using the. An example of this would be an app like teams, Xbox, or outlook. This will not apply to non-microsoft web services that you use. If you want to discuss further, please send us a mail on the email I mentioned above.
- KPKing - Thank you for the suggestion, I will pass this along to the team.
- OzO - If the accounts you are switching to are NOT signed in to windows, then you will not see any notice. But if those accounts are signed into windows (e.g. if you open an app and click on the "add account" button and that account is remembered) then you will see this notice. Generally you will see it once per account on the device.
- Dhilipan - This is based on the region set during the windows set up experience, so, the device region
- BBar - A user will see this the first time a non-windows app requests an SSO ticket. Generally this will be the next time they launch an app once they download the latest build that has this change. This applies to the latest builds of Win10 and Win11 and is not excluded for any specific deployment channels. My suggestion is to start informing users in January, as this will begin ramping at small percentages towards the end of January.
- Thomas - Thanks for sending your mail! We're still working through some responses there and will make sure to get to you as soon as we can. In the mean time, answering your questions here.
- 1) This is currently part of Release Preview builds for Win 11: 22621.2787 and 22631.2787 and Win 10: 19045.3758. It will start rolling out to only the newest releases of Windows 10 and 11 starting this month.
- 2a) This will apply to AD Joined machines in the same way it applies to cloud joined machines. The simple way to think about it is: if the account shows up in Windows settings, it is in scope of this change.
- 2b) Yes, it will apply in the hybrid join case for the same reasons as described in 2a)
- 2c) Yes, it will apply to the cloud join case, as well.
- 3) This will not apply to Azure Virtual Desktop scenarios, so users in those scenarios will not see a popup.
- 4) Thank you for sharing that video! Fortunately, that error message is a known bug that we are in the process of fixing. It should be complete before this rolls out to production builds.
