I want to block users access to outlook from Outlook Desktop Application but let them access outlook from Outlook on the web (OWA) to improve security.
Is there someone who knows how to achieve the goal?
Thanks in advance.

SolutionYou can use a Conditional Access policy to block desktop apps.
Assignments
Conditions > Client apps > Mobile apps and desktop clients

Thanks for the suggestion.
I am not sure how to use block access and exclude compliant devices.
I was able to target "Office 365 Exchange Online". Under conditions the device platform checked Windows and Mac and on client Apps checked all but the Browser option. For Grant, I checked "Require device to be marked as compliant". This way, it limits Outlook from opening and it does show the message about enrolling the device. However, it also limits any other O365 App.
A current requirement from InfoSec is not allow local Outlook data (OSTs or PSTs) on personal devices. So, my current thinking is to allow Outlook online on personal devices and block the desktop client.
Regards.
