Permanent migration to New Teams

Copper Contributor

Hello,

 

I would like to move all organisation to the New Teams. According to this article:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/new-teams-deploy-using-policies?tabs=teams-admin-ce...

i need to assign the policy one-by-one what is ridiculous. To many People to add. The solution would be to add one group which contains all people. 

Is there any default name of the group which contains all people in my organisation?

If I need to create manual such a group, then add people - we are going back to the beginning - have to add one-by-one. 

 

Second question, I did some test with one user. I created a policy which contains

- Show Teams preview features: On for everyone
- Use new Teams client: New Teams only

Nevertheless the user can still launch the "old" Teams and successfully log in to it. Therefore the question is how works this policy? Or can I somewhere in Teams Admin Center remove "old" Teams ?

Hi, If you want to use the new Teams client use the Global Policy for all user.
Look at timeline for the classic client

Micrsoft will also try to deinstall the classic client mid of May.

Hello @Holger Bunkradt 

 

Thank you for you answer.

But Manual says that I have to manually add each user to the Self-Created-Group and in this way I can add this group to the Policy (instead adding each user one-by-one to the Policy). But way of making that is the same - still choosing each account separately.

But honestly.... adding seperately each user is non sense. 

This is correct, if you don't wan't to use the update settings for all users. I have done this for my organization with changing the Global org-wide policy. You can also use a Group Policy Assignement an select a group from you Entra ID with all users included.
