1.0 What’s New?

  • Administration of the Microsoft Azure Tenant now uses Microsoft.Graph 2.8, replacing the deprecated Azure AD Modules.

    NOTE:It is not recommended to use Microsoft.Graph 2.9 for the administration of Microsoft Azure Tenant. If Microsoft.Graph 2.9 was installed and the system displays an error, see Troubleshooting Installation and Upgrade.

  • User Remote mailbox, Shared Remote mailbox, and Resource Migrated Remote mailbox objects are now supported.

  • Beginning DRA 10.2.3, basic authentication is deprecated for managing Azure tenants. Azure tenants can now be managed by using certificate-based authentication only. If existing tenants use basic authentication, upgrading to DRA 10.2.3 still retains the basic authentication settings. However, it is recommended switching to certificate-based authentication.

  • Upgraded to Exchange Online PowerShell module to version 3.0.0, which no longer relies on WinRM basic authentication, as Microsoft has removed its dependency.
