Exchange Online RPC over HTTP Deprecation(Outlook 2007) October 31 2017

Status: Active

Action Required by: October 31, 2017 at 5:59 PM UTC

Details: On October 31st, 2017, Exchange Online mailboxes in Office 365 will require connections from Outlook for Windows use MAPI over HTTP, our new method of connectivity and transport between Outlook for Windows and Exchange. In May of 2014, Microsoft introduced MAPI over HTTP as a replacement for RPC over HTTP. RPC over HTTP was a legacy connection protocol that is being deprecated from Exchange Online. Beginning October 31, 2017, Outlook for Windows clients using RPC over HTTP will be unable to access their Exchange Online mailbox. The necessary action depends on the version of Outlook in use in your organization. If you are using Outlook 2007 or earlier, you need to upgrade. Outlook 2007 does not contain support for the MAPI/HTTP protocol. We encourage you to update to the Office 365 ProPlus subscription, or access Outlook via the web browser (which is included in your current subscription plan). Outlook 2010-2016 customers will need to ensure their version of Outlook for Windows is set up to support MAPI/HTTP. At a minimum, you should ensure you have installed the December 2015 update. Lastly, ensure your Outlook clients are not using a registry key to block MAPI/HTTP.

Azure AD Connect Adds Support for Windows Server 2016 and SQL 2016

If you’re a customer who uses Azure Active Directory Connect, you’ll want to know that Microsoft just released version 1.1.343.0, which adds support for Windows Server 2016 and SQL Server 2016 and fixes some bugs.

Improvements:
– Added support for installing Azure AD Connect on Windows Server 2016 standard or better.
– Added support for using SQL Server 2016 as the remote database for Azure AD Connect.
– Added support for managing AD FS 2016 using Azure AD Connect.

Fixed issues:
– Sometimes, installing Azure AD Connect fails because it is unable to create a local service account whose password meets the level of complexity specified by the organization’s password policy.
– Fixed an issue where join rules are not re-evaluated when an object in the connector space simultaneously becomes out-of-scope for one join rule and become in-scope for another. This can happen if you have two or more join rules whose join conditions are mutually exclusive.
– Fixed an issue where inbound synchronization rules (from Azure AD) which do not contain join rules are not processed if they have lower precedence values than those containing join rules.

MDT Build 8443 Automatically move computers to the right OU.

On December 2010 i wrote an article: automatically move computers to the right OU.
In MDT 2012 update 1 this was an issue: MDT 2012 settings per task sequence

In MDT 2013 Update 2 this is still a issue:

How to fix:

1. Edit DeployWiz_SelectTS.vbs
2. Add after Function ValidateTSList and  Dim oTS   
Dim oItem
Dim sCmd
Set Oshell = createObject(“Wscript.shell”)
3. Add between  End if and End Function
sCmd = “wscript.exe “”” & oUtility.ScriptDir & “\ZTIGather.wsf”””
oItem = oSHell.Run(sCmd, , true)

Security Bulletin: iOS “Pegasus” Malware and iOS 9.3.5 Security Update

On Aug. 25, 2016,  Apple announced updates to address security vulnerabilities in iOS version 9.3.4 and earlier. The affected components include the iOS kernel and WebKit.

The vulnerabilities can result in jailbreak, remote code execution, and memory corruption.  Security researchers at Lookout, Inc. have identified a high risk malware application, called “Pegasus”, that uses the vulnerabilities to compromise user devices.

MobileIron recommends that users update to iOS version 9.3.5 or later to obtain the necessary security patches. The security researchers have confirmed that the iOS patches prevent the vulnerabilities from being exploited.

Three vulnerabilities were patched in iOS 9.3.5.  The vulnerabilities are referred to collectively as “Trident”.  The reported CVE identifiers include:

  • CVE-2016-4655: An application may be able to disclose kernel memory.
  • CVE-2016-4656: An application may be able to execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges.
  • CVE-2016-4657: Visiting a maliciously crafted website may lead to arbitrary code execution.

Detection of Pegasus Jailbreak:

According to the security researchers at Lookout, EMM vendors cannot currently detect the Pegasus jailbreak. At this time, the only known method to detect Pegasus is to use products from Lookout.
