Teams call records left chat retention policies in late April 2026: the replacement policy is PowerShell only

Since late April 2026 a new Teams call data record is covered only by a retention policy for the Teams call logs location, which exists only in PowerShell and reaches nothing created before it went active. The old chat policy stays green. This note gives the read-only check and the boundary of the gap.

Leaving a general-purpose v1 storage account alone is treated as consent, and the unattended upgrade lands in Hot

Azure retires general-purpose v1 storage accounts on 13 October 2026 and migrates whatever is left. Microsoft records that inaction as consent. The upgrade is permanent, transaction pricing differs, and an upgrade that names no access tier lands in Hot. Inventory the accounts and decide the tier per account.

Windows 11 24H2 stops receiving updates a year earlier on Pro than on Enterprise, from the identical build

Windows 11 version 24H2 ends updates on 2026-10-13 for the Pro family and on 2027-10-12 for the Enterprise family, from one table row and one identical build. Count the fleet by edition, not by build, before the earlier date arrives.

Auto-renew off without an explicit cancel bills as an Extended Service Term

In the Microsoft CSP program, setting an EST-eligible subscription to auto-renew false with no explicit cancel instruction converts it to a paid Extended Service Term that renews monthly. The API confirms the cancelled state first and a background job reverses it, so the read-back has to happen the next day.
