Microsoft 365 License Changes & Issues
Identified - Microsoft is discontinuing the M365 A1 Plus license, and some users are being transitioned from the M365 A1 "Plus" license to the M365 A1 license. This results in a loss of access to the desktop version of Office 365 applications, but all users should still be able to use the web-based apps at https://m365.cloud.microsoft/apps/ (requires UA login).

This change affects Crafts & Trades staff, Adjunct/Temporary Faculty, and Emeritus Faculty members. If you're not a member of these groups and are experiencing issues with the Microsoft Office suite, please reach out to your campus's IT helpdesk!

You can find more information about the license change here: https://www.uaf.edu/nooktech/news/microsoft-365-a1-license-changes.php
As well as status reports by the license holder, UAA, here: https://status.uaa.alaska.edu/

Due to the longstanding nature of this change and resulting disruption, we will be updating this status only as new information becomes available. We are actively communicating with UAA about the situation, and appreciate your time and understanding as we navigate this unexpected transition. Thank you!

UNC Path Hardening for SYSVOL and NETLOGON Shares
Completed - The scheduled maintenance has been completed.
May 14, 12:00 AKDT
In progress - Scheduled maintenance is currently in progress. We will provide updates as necessary.
May 14, 00:00 AKDT
Scheduled - Implement UNC path hardening for the SYSVOL and NETLOGON shares across UA Active Directory domains by creating and applying a domain-wide Group Policy Object.

This change requires mutual authentication and integrity validation for UNC access to SYSVOL and NETLOGON. UNC hardening mitigates man-in-the-middle attacks on SMB network shares by requiring mutual authentication and data integrity for specifically defined paths. It helps protect against spoofing and tampering by ensuring clients connect only to legitimate domain servers.

This is a security hardening change with no planned service outage.
