Basic Authentication Deprecation in Exchange Online – News !

As you know, the “Basic Authentication” configuration was turned off last month.
Organizations using Exchange Online are now protected from the vulnerabilities of legacy authentication.

However, this closure process will continue On December 31, 2022, with exemptions.

Microsoft says ;
Once Basic auth for Outlook, Exchange ActiveSync and Exchange Web Services has been permanently disabled in your tenant, there’s really no reason to keep Autodiscover enabled for Basic auth. So, we’re turning off Autodiscover next.

Exchange Recipient Type Values

I don’t know where and when this information will be useful to you, but I needed these values in a few problems I had, maybe you will need them one day.

There are three critical recipient values used by Exchange Server;

  • msExchRecipientDisplayType
  • msExchRecipientTypeDetails
  • msExchRemoteRecipientType

There is the only supported way to change these values is using the Exchange Admin Center or using the Exchange Management Shell.
