Navigating Changes: Key Highlights from the Microsoft Lifecycle Newsletter - March 2024

Key Updates and Policy Enhancements:

  • Retirement Notices: Key retirements include Teams Live Events, which will be discontinued after September 30, 2024, encouraging a shift towards Town halls. Another significant announcement is the retirement of Visual Studio for Mac, scheduled for August 31, 2024. Furthermore, the end-of-support date for Windows 10 version 22H2 has been revised, signaling a crucial juncture for users to initiate upgrade processes.
  • Introduction of a 3-Year Notification Subset under Modern Policy: This initiative ensures users of specific Azure and Dynamics products will receive up to a three-year heads-up before support discontinuation, facilitating better migration planning.

Upcoming End of Support Deadlines:

The newsletter highlights impending end-of-support milestones in 2024 for several products, including Dynamics 365 Business Central, .NET 7, and various iterations of Windows 10. Microsoft strongly advises completing migration efforts prior to these dates to ensure continuous security and support.

Shift to Extended Support:

Several products, notably Azure DevOps Server 2019 and the System Center 2019 lineup, are transitioning into the Extended Support phase. This stage will see the provision of security updates exclusively, underscoring the necessity for ongoing software asset management and updates.

Guidance for Migrations and Helpful Resources:

With the looming high-impact end-of-support dates for both on-premises products and cloud services, Microsoft accentuates the importance of advanced migration planning. To facilitate these efforts, the newsletter lists various resources and guides, including links to Lifecycle policies.
