Week in brief

Week of 5 August 2024: Edge mobile Copilot retirement leads several Entra availability rollouts

The supplied period contains five Microsoft 365 Message Center announcements and no new, updated, or removed documentation items. The most consequential user-facing change is the retirement of Copilot in the Microsoft Edge mobile application for Entra ID users with version 128 in late August. Other substantive announcements move Attacker in the Middle detection in ID Protection, the AD FS application migration wizard, and device-based Conditional Access on Red Hat Enterprise Linux to general availability. A separate Dynamics 365 notice announces availability of a feature for deleting certain Microsoft Entra group users.

  • Copilot in the Microsoft Edge mobile app will be retired with version 128 in late August 2024 for Entra ID users. No administrator action is required, but Microsoft recommends informing users and directing work users to the Microsoft 365 mobile app or web chat instead.

  • The Attacker in the Middle detection feature in Microsoft Entra ID Protection is scheduled to reach general availability by late August. The capability is intended to identify compromised user accounts, and the notice says no action is required before rollout.

  • The Microsoft Entra ID AD FS application migration wizard provides a guided experience for migrating AD FS relying-party applications. Rollout begins in mid-August and is expected to complete by late August; no administrator action is required before the rollout.

  • Device-based Conditional Access for Microsoft 365 and Azure resources on Red Hat Enterprise Linux is going generally available in mid-to-late August. The stated support includes Entra ID registration, Conditional Access policies, SSO, Intune compliance, and Red Hat RPM packages; no action is required before rollout.

  • Starting 8 August 2024, Dynamics 365 will have a generally available feature to delete stub, unlicensed, and removed Microsoft Entra group users. The supplied announcement does not describe the trigger, scope, or administrator workflow, so it does not support a more specific operational recommendation.

For Entra administrators

The only explicit communication request is to inform affected users about the Edge mobile Copilot retirement and direct them to the Microsoft 365 mobile app for work or web chat. The ID Protection, AD FS migration wizard, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux Conditional Access announcements each state that no action is required before rollout. The Dynamics 365 notice confirms availability beginning 8 August but does not provide enough detail to infer a required cleanup, configuration change, or deletion workflow.
