Microsoft Purview Sensitivity Labels: Sensitivity label grouping modernization coming this fall (?)

on
There is a change coming to Microsoft Purview Information Protection that simplifies sensitivity label architecture. The goal is to make label management easier, more scalable, and less rigid for organizations. The new model will only include standalone labels and sublabels. Parent labels will be replaced by label groups, which act as organizational containers. These groups cannot be applied to content and have no actions or scope, but they retain color and priority for visual organization. Hopefully, this change will make it much easier to move labels around and make other changes in production: for example, converting a standalone label into a sublabel or moving sublabels between groups without breaking dependencies.  From my experience, this update solves one of the biggest challenges in large environments: rigid label hierarchies.

More virtaul stuff

But this time it's more of a maintanance thing.
Do have a problem with ever growing virtual disks, even if you delete files from within the VM?
Here's a tip for you (what I'v just done to save som space):
  1. Run cleanmgr.exe from command prompt, and clean out all you want (I reccomend NOT to compress, as this often really slows down your computer). And be sure to remove all system restores (If you haven't been smart to disable it all to gether. SR is a disk hogger)
  2. Download the SDelete tool from sysinternals (Found on: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897443.aspx)
  3. Run SDelete -c -s -z within the machine (This will relly clean up your "empty" space)
  4. Shut down the VM, and run the VHD Wizard and select "compress"
This is of course not a one time job, and should be done on a regular basis if you're running out of disk space. But it'll be a while untill I have to do it again. I just cleaned up two machines, and saved 15 GIG of space on my laptop :)
