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

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.

Really proud to announce I am going to TechEd 2014 in Barcelona and speak at my first international event. I am really excited about it. The topic of my session is going to be how to manage your backup and restore for Lync 2013. It's going to be about what to have in mind when you plan your disaster recovery plan, and how.

Time: Wednesday, October 29 10:15 AM - 11:30 AM
Room: "Hall 8.0 Room F7" (could be changed, so check above link for updated information9

Abstract: As Lync becomes an important part of the infrastructure, it is equally important to be able to quickly restore its availability in the event of an outage. Even a well-designed High Availability solution may encounter loss of data or server failure. This session addresses which components the administrator will need to pay attention to when designing his disaster recovery plan. Not only do we discuss which components we need a backup of, but also which tools and commands are available to complete the task.
