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.

Installing OCS 2007 R2 on Windows 2008 R2

#OCS #WindowsServer #Powershell

Here is a tip for if you want to speed up the process of installing OCS on a Windows 2008 R2 server.

The installation wizard and guide is made for previous OS's, and is not capable of detecting or installing all of the features you need (.net framework beeing one of them). Also, I realized all the tech blogs I came across on google suggested to use the servermanagercmd.exe to add some of the prerequisites. servermanagercmd is depreciated, and I suggest you use Powershell in Windows 2008 R2.

So, before even thinking of starting the OCS setup, you should concider running the following commands in powershell (as administrator):

import-module servermanager
web-windows-auth,web-mgmt-compat,web-mgmt-console,web-http-logging,msmq-server,msmq-directory,rsat-addc,was-process-model,was-config-apis,NET-Framework-Core,Desktop-Experience -restart

So far, so good, but now I,m stuck with a new error: 0x80070534 "No mapping betweein account names and security IDs was done. This error is registered on the "setting NTFS rights" section in the error report. Anyone got an Idea?
