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.

An update to the Lync SE Backup script

I just wanted to let my readers know I have updated the backup script previously added in a post earlier this summer.

The script can be downloaded here: Backupscript - Standard EDT.ps1
All my scripts can be found in the "Lync Scripts" section at the top

As always, I appreciate your feedback, suggestions or questions.
