How to have the Teams client update itself on share devices
- Apr 26, 2021
I agree that's what the documentation says, however it's not true. There is no 28 day grace period, if you think about it doesn't really make sense "the clients too old to work with the service, but will be fine for 28 days". If you install a device wide installer then first login to that device more than 3 months later you'll see the blocking page (now). This didn't used to be an issue, as they didn't actually enforce the blocking, however since April 1st they have been, which is why we are starting to see issues.
Microsoft support will direct people here, they are providing a script that will update a machine wide installer, and optionally, flag users profiles to reinstall the package. There's also some useful background on the mechanisms at play.
ChristianBergstrom I get this from raising issues with Microsoft support, nothing to do with MVP contacts, also support were going to raise a request to have the article updated.
Maybe it was correct at one point, hard to say. Before April 1 the 3 month limit on clients wasn't enforced so we never saw this type of issue.
