IT Professionals:
Several months ago, Microsoft released an update to Outlook that added a slider in the top right corner that allows a person using Outlook to switch between the “classic” version and a new, preview version. This was not seen at IU at the time, but as the feature has come through more release channels, there have been some sporadic reports of this option appearing on IU devices.
UITS strongly recommends against the use of this new preview version of Outlook. It does not support several widely used features and some individuals are not able to log on to IU’s Exchange while using it.
There are a few group policy settings that can be used to prevent this option from appearing. The Endpoint Management Services team is currently doing some testing and plans to provide guidance via another email later today. Please look for that message late this afternoon.
