phased enforcement

About this tag
The phased enforcement tag covers Microsoft's gradual, time-boxed push to require Exchange hybrid customers to migrate from a shared service principal to a dedicated Exchange hybrid app in Entra ID. This enforcement is driven by a high-severity hybrid vulnerability and involves scheduled EWS traffic blocks that will lead to a permanent cutoff after October 31, 2025. Discussions on WindowsForum.com detail the migration mandate, steps to update on-premises servers, and the security implications of the change. Administrators are urged to act before temporary disruptions in September and October to avoid losing rich coexistence features.
