Product Feedback for Advanced Message Encryption
Hi there, I've just evaluated Advanced Message Encryption for Exchange Online so thought I would feedback my thoughts. It's a good product if your only goal is to guarantee that emails are encrypted...
mikedoneghan Wow, many questions. You know I have a day job right? 😉 As with the previous conversation from a year ago, which you linked to, I believe I did some deeper testing and ended with a reply from my OME findings (my old account).
Just to give you an example.
I used this right now and the wrapper showed up in my Outlook client (M365 desktop app). As I don't have Advanced OME I cannot use other branding than default OME Configuration. You on the other hand can choose multiple (if created) by clicking on the OME Config link, and the Encrypt link, and add other conditions and combine them.
If using sensitivity labels you don't have to go here. Those were previously named AIP labels/templates. OME is simply a small part of "AIP" using the rights management feature for the email/attachment. Sensitivity labels are all data everywhere, not only email.
You should instead work with your organization so the business classifies your data and from those results IT sets up sensitivity labels and label policies which you publish to your users apps, configuring permissions for them or letting them decide themselves, enforce in Outlook or Office apps (Word, PowerPoint, Excel). Add Data Loss Prevention where you have so many settings which can even prevent your users from accidentally send emails or documents to the wrong recipient using policy tips and policy notifications.
I meant the downloadable "AIP" unified labeling client. And I haven't heard a thing about discontinuing M365 apps.
As for you final question perhaps this will answer it How to Report Audit Events Generated for Sensitivity Labels - Office 365 for IT Pros (office365itpros.com)
ChristianJBergstrom Thanks for your support! I have been tasked with setting up sensitivity labels and policies for our organisation in Office 365, with a view to using them in Outlook, as well as for all files in SharePoint as well. However note that I also tested the transport rule you quoted using a sensitivity label (applied from within OWA), and I'm stuck with the same problem of it encrypting all sent emails (with a link-based experience) rather than only those with the sensitivity label applied.
I've been trying to get the Unified Labeling Client you mentioned working so I can try this from the Outlook app (in case it has a different behaviour which does what I want, i.e. display a link-based experience for only each email sent using a sensitivity label), but I could do with a hand as no labels are showing.
I've created a label:-
And also created a policy to publish the label to myself (without any policy settings though as I don't want to force anything yet) :-
Also here are my licenses:-
However no labels are showing in the Unified Labelling Client:-
But the sensitivity label does show in OWA though:-
Am I missing a step here? The Unified Labelling Client admin guide doesn't to mention anything else which needs doing. There doesn't seem to be any other way to configure it.
All the best,
Mike
- Hello! I honestly think it’s better if you ask for assistance using the official support. Not my intention if that sounds impolite in any way. It’s just too complex and time consuming as a community member.
- Will do, many thanks.
