Changes to Microsoft Preset Safelinks

Please see the following scheduled ITS maintenance notification:

Dates: Tuesday, May 23rd, 2023
Start Time: 8:00 PM
End Time: 8:10 PM

The following work is being completed: The current Microsoft preset (built-in) safelinks policy includes URL rewriting. There are limited issues with this since our email filter that processes external emails already wraps URL and this double-wrapping causes some URLs to break. We would be implementing a WSU safelinks policy that would disable URL rewriting.

Groups affected: All Exchange users

Duration of impact: Ten minutes to change to custom policy.

Processes or services affected: Microsoft defender
Follow up steps customers need to take: None.
