A fix due in May 2026 will make sure that the Outlook classic client will handle Outlook reactions properly if the reactions are blocked. Of course, if tenants don’t like responding to email with an emoji, they can create a transport rule to insert the x-ms-reactions header. Detecting the header is an instruction to Outlook clients to suppress reactions that Outlook classic has been ignoring up to now. https://office365itpros.com/2026/04/17/outlook-reactions-classic/
Bad registrar on 365 side
Hello, We created a Microsoft 365 tenant several years ago but never used the online email services. We added and verifed our domain, which was registered with Orange at the time, and then created some users manually to use PowerBI. Today, we begin to migrate to Exchange Online. We have installed AD Connect and synchronized some users. Since creating the tenant, we have changed registrars (to Gandi), but I've noticed that the registrar hasn't been updated in the tenant 365. An `nslookup` correctly identifies Gandi as our current registrar. Microsoft has remained with Orange... and this is causing errors in the hybrid Exchange configuration assistant due to bad autodiscover. How can we "refresh" the registrar on the Microsoft 365 side ? Thanks for your advises NicolasDLP Extends Its Ability to Control Copilot Processing
A new action for the DLP Policy for Copilot allows Microsoft 365 tenants to block Copilot from performing (Bing) web searches if a prompt contains sensitive information types. The new action allows Copilot to continue to process prompts using Microsoft 365 content (if the user has a Microsoft 365 Copilot license) while stopping potentially sensitive data being sent to Bing. https://office365itpros.com/2026/04/16/dlp-policy-for-copilot-web/M365 Security Basics: Keeping Your Data Safe Online

A reader wanted a weekly incomplete task report to send details of Planner tasks to people with outstanding work to do. We used PowerShell to scan for incomplete tasks for people who are members of a group, perform some analysis on the data, and create and send email. Despite some deficiencies in the Planner Graph API, the code is pretty straightforward. https://office365itpros.com/2026/04/15/weekly-incomplete-task-report/

Entra ID uses an eventually consistent multi-region database architecture. PowerShell code that fetches and updates Entra ID objects needs to interact with the database in the most efficient manner. This article illustrates some guidance from Microsoft engineering with examples from the Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK. I’m sure your scripts already use these techniques, but if not, we have some helpful pointers. https://office365itpros.com/2026/04/13/eventually-consistent-entra-id/
Microsoft 365 error 7q6ch , can't login to my microsoft account
Microsoft 365 for business account, getting a microsoft popup box everytime I open office to login. I enter my email address and the next screen is always an error "7q6ch" . I can login to office.com no problem. This error will not go away no matter what I do and here's what've done- removed all microsoft credentials, logged out of microsoft account, removed all accounts in settings, signed out of office, rand scannow, ran the fixes to delete the folders in app data, online repair, quick repair, ran the cmd promp and powershell fix, made a new profile, I uninstalled and reinstalled office, keep getting this popup. The only option I'm seeing is to wipe my computer which I really don't want to do. It's a windows 11 pro laptop I downloaded the office setup file from my office account and it's up to date. I believe this stems from microsoft making me enter an account in order to setup my computer and since it doesn't allow work email addresses I had to use my personal account which then logs in to app automatically and the computer get confused. I need help please, any suggestion or fixes are appreciated, thanksLeverage User and Group Assignments to Limit User Access to Apps
User and Group assignments can be added to Entra ID applications. Once assignments exist for an application, only assigned users can access that application. This method is a good way to secure access to applications that have consent to use high-profile permissions like Sites.FullControl.All or Mail.Read. Microsoft 365 tenants should consider how to use assignments to control user access to applications. https://office365itpros.com/2026/04/10/user-and-group-assignments/
