Report for August 2020

Report Date
August 2020

Achievements in Last Period:

New exclusion groups have been created to support a change in Microsoft policy for auto-forwarding. 

Issues:

  • The project continues to run without approved budget. 
  • The implementation of the Warning Banner solution is subject to ITC approval. Concerns from the pilot have been escalated to this forum for consideration 
  • A change in Microsoft policy has recently been announced which means that the original ITI elements of the auto-forwarding work is now deemed redundant.

Next Steps:

  • The ITC is due to meet on the 16th September. 
  • Once clearer direction is given, the project plan will be revised to reflect decisions taken for the deployment of the Warning Banner and Auto-forwarding solutions.
