New Teams and Outlook not working for my organization.

Copper Contributor

Hi All.

I've been trying to allow the New teams/Outlook for my organization. Here's how we curently have everything setup:

  • We use Windows Information Protection with enrolled devices.
  • WIP works with “classic” version of MS Teams and Outlook but not the latest “new” version that is being rolled out.
  • We know that it relates to WIP, as both new versions work fine with WIP turned off.
  • We don’t seem to able to add the correct details to the WIP policy in order to add the new MS Team and Outlook as protected apps (enlightened or unenlightened); they keep showing as “personal” in Task Manager “Enterprise Context”.

These are the configurations that I've tried so far and didn't seem to work for both apps.

Outlook

  • Name: Outlook
  • Product name: microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps
  • Type: Universal app
  • Publisher: CN=Microsoft Corporation, O=Microsoft Corporation, L=Redmond, S=Washington, C=US
  • Min Version: *
  • Max Version: *
  • Action: Allow

Teams

  • Name: Microsoft Teams
  • Product name: *
  • Type: Desktop apps
  • Publisher: O=MICROSOFT CORPORATION, L=REDMOND, S=WASHINGTON, C=US
  • File: ms-teams.exe
  • Min Version: *
  • Max Version: *
  • Action: Allow

Is there anyone who can advise with the WIP config or is there an alternative way to get the users to switch to the new Apps?

Thank you.

This is exactly, we are experiencing, still no solution.  I have to force uses on classic version via teams update policy. Still waiting for answer.

 

I just found the answer to this issue, which worked for me, I found the answer on below link:

I added below settings to wip policy. 

Msteams as store app, and it worked.

I was struggling with the same Problem today. The New Team App is not a "Desktop app" anymore. Now it is a "Store app".

 

Just take a look at all your installed windows store apps "Get-AppxPackage | Format-Table" and you'll find "MSTeams".

 

Just add the following settings to you WIP policy:

 

Name: MSTeams

 

Product name: MSTeams

 

Type: Store apps

 

Publisher: CN=Microsoft Corporation, O=Microsoft Corporation, L=Redmond, S=Washington, C=US
